Installing The Nxd-1700Vg Into A Flat Surface Using #6 Screws - AMX NXD-1200VG Operation/Reference Manual

Installation Procedures: 17" Panels
13.
Disconnect the terminal end of the power cable from the connected power supply.
Don't disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with
the attached connectors before being inserted into the drywall.
14.
Follow the procedures outlined within Steps 1 - 5 on page 34 thru page 36 to carefully reinstall the LCD panel back
into the back box housing.
15.
Install the four sets of drywall screws and expansion clips into the four oval notch locations along the top/bottom
edges of the main unit (FIG. 59). Make sure the top drywall clip grooves face upwards and the bottom clip grooves
face downwards (so they extend away from the Main unit).
16.
Carefully insert the main unit (with expansion clips) into the cutout until the Mounting Tabs on the NXD
unit lie flush against the wall (FIG. 59). Make sure to have the right side of the box resting against the non-
notched beam (on the right) and the connector-side of the unit pressed into the notched beam (on the left).
Replacement drywall clip sets must be ordered from AMX.
17.
Tighten the drywall clip sets (screws and clips) until the Mounting Tabs are securely fastened and flush against the
wall.
18.
Place the magnetic faceplate (A in FIG. 59) back onto the main NXD unit. Make sure to align the Microphone,
Light, and PIR Motion sensor locations to their respective openings on the front
bezel/faceplate.
19.
Reconnect the terminal RJ-45, Ethernet, and any optional audio/video wiring to their respective terminal locations
on either the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box, Ethernet port, or NetLinx Master.
20.
Reconnect the terminal power connector on the 12 VDC-compliant power supply and apply power.

Installing the NXD-1700VG into a Flat Surface using #6 screws

Mounting screws (#6, not included) are secured through two sets of circular holes located at the left and right sides of the
NXD-1700VG. The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD Wall Mount is that the outer
frame (Mounting Tabs) must be installed flush against the mounting surface.
Most beams have a distance of about 14" to 16". This is too narrow to accommodate the 17.03" (43.26 cm) wide outer
housing (back box) of the NXD-1700VG.
INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE SURFACE OF THE STUD AND THE
BACK BOX MOUNTING RIDGE TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL/
SHEETROCK.
box has been mounted onto the beams.
1.
Determine which stud beam configuration to use:

2.
Locate the edges of the two studs used in this installation. The location of the NXD is site dependant and could
involve notching more than one beam.

This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the back
Pre-wall framing is done prior to the drywall installation (local framing instructions vary based on location
and building codes). Mount the main NXD unit into a pre-wall environment by fitting the right side of the box
against a beam, then notching the stud closest to the connectors (based on FIG. 60 and the depth of the
drywall), and using the securing screws to fasten the unit into place after the drywall has been installed. A
horizontal beam can be installed (framed) below the back box to provide lower support.
With an existing wall in place, continue with steps 3 and 4 to notch one or both selected beams. There is no
horizontal support beam "framing" in this method.
Take into account the width of the cutting blade and the thickness of the drywall surface when making the
cut into the drywall.
