For more information on connecting and configuring the touch panels to a network, please refer to the Modero X Series G5 Programming Guide, available at www.amx.com. Both the MXT-1901-PAN and the MXD-1901-PAN support Near Field Communications™ (NFC) Technology. NFC technology facilitates making transactions, exchanging digital content, and connecting electronic devices with a touch.
Modero X Series® G5 Touch Panels NFC antenna location 3.25" (82.55 mm) 0.375" (9.53 mm) FIG. 6 NFC antenna location on the MXT-1901-PAN To facilitate NFC antenna access, you may want to add an icon to the panel’s page(s), pointing to the location of the antenna on the panel. Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case Both the MXT-1901-PAN and the MXD-1901-PAN come with the MXA-CLK Modero X Series Cleaning Kit (FG5968- 16), which may be used to clean fingerprints and dirt from the device.
Installation Installation MXT-1901-PAN Installation Other than the two USB ports on the back of the device (FIG. 3), the power and data connectors for the MXT-1901-PAN are located on the underside of the device (FIG. 7). The underside USB port, as well as the two rear USB ports, may be used with a flash drive for page transfers or firmware upgrades.
FIG. 10 shows an AMX device installed in a wall with a filled volume (such as with insulation or concrete), as well as with a closed volume (such as between studs in an otherwise finished wall). The diagram shows how heat generated by the device or other devices may have no way to escape, and may build up to levels that may affect device operation.
Installation In FIG. 11, the diagram displays an AMX device in a typical rack mounting, with full air circulation around the front and back of the device. In this case, the main concern is with heat building up between components, possibly to levels that may affect device operation.
Installation MXD-1901-PAN Installation The MXD-1901-PAN may be installed directly into a solid surface environment, using either solid surface screws or the included locking tabs for different mounting options. Once installed, the MXD-1901-PAN is contained within a clear outer housing known as the back box. This back box is removed when installing the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-15).
