MXD-1001 / MXD-701 Installation

Note that the figures in this section show landscape (-L) panels, but the concepts presented here apply equally to portrait (-P)
panels, since the hardware is the same for landscape and portrait panels except for the horizontal / vertical orientation. Detailed
specifications drawings for the
MXD-1001 and MXD-701panels may be installed directly into a solid surface, using either solid surface screws or the included
locking tabs for different mounting options.
Once installed, the panel is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox (FIG. 35). This Backbox is removed to
install the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-17).

NOTE: For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary method for securing the Backbox to the
surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included).

Installing the MXD-1001 / MXD-701 Into a Wall

The Backbox has locking tabs to lock the Backbox to the wall - there are four on the MXD-1001 and two on the MXD-701 (FIG. 36).

These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall. (FIG. 23 and FIG. 24).
NOTE: When installing the Backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position and in the correct place. Once the locking
tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the Backbox may be diff icult without having access to the back of the wall or
causing damage to the wall.
