Installation Recommendations; Installing The Mxd-430 Into A Wall - AMX MXD-430 Operation/Reference Manual

Installation Recommendations

During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device's operation. In
these circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the
device's maximum rated temperature.
While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum
operating temperature, special care must be taken before and during installation to
ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack
installation spaces.

Installing the MXD-430 into a wall

The MXD-430 comes with a clear plastic backbox (designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. This
backbox has two locking tabs (one on each side) to help lock the backbox to the wall. These locking tabs are only
extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall. (FIG. 8).
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 difficult without having access to the back of the wall
or causing damage to the wall.
For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary
method for securing the back box to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use
mounting screws (not included).

The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic back
box 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 back box.

In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MXD-430, the thickness of the wall
material must be a minimum of .50 inches (1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches
(2.22cm). The mounting surface should also be smooth and flat.
