FIG. 44
4. Remove any knockouts as needed on either long dimension of the Backbox to facilitate incoming wiring and pull the wiring
through the resultant holes.
5. Push the Backbox into the mounting surface. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the Backbox and that the Backbox
goes freely into the opening.
6. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the box until snug.
NOTE: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying
excessive torque while tightening the tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage
the plastic Backbox.
Not all of the tabs must be extended to lock the Backbox in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom tabs is

highly recommended.
Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten

up against the inside of the wall.
The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in

assisting with removal if necessary.
For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through circular holes located at the left and

right sides of the panel (FIG. 43, FIG. 44). In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush
with the Backbox.
7. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the panel.
To reach the RJ45 connector, gently pull it from beneath the electronics cover.
a.
Attach the Ethernet cable and gently push the connection back under the cover.
b.
NOTE: Refer to the Power via PoE section on page 50 for details on PoE and Ethernet Cable Installation and Modif ication.
8. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the
panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation.
NOTE: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before
being inserted into the mounting surface.
9. Latch the panel onto the hooks on the Backbox. Push in on the bottom snaps (Landscape) or on the right (Portrait) gently but
firmly until the snaps "click" to lock it down (FIG. 45).
