Quick Start Guide
12" and 15" Modero Color Video Touch Panels (Firmware version G4)

For more detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and

operating instructions, refer to the 12" and 15" Modero Touch Panel Series

Instruction Manual, available on-line at www.amx.com.

ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master Firmware (available from
www.amx.com) on your ME260/64 and NI-Series Controllers. Verify the
TPDesign4 program being used is Version 2.4 or higher.

Overview

The 12" (NXT/NXD-CV12) and 15" (NXT/NXD-CV15) Video panels are

4th generation graphics touch panels that provide richer colors and crisper

contrast than any panels currently on the market.

Modero tilt panels now come with an optional NXA-BASE/B battery base

that allows it to function off the collective charge of two internal

NXT-BP batteries that can be charged either in the base or in an optional

NXT-CHG charger.

Connections and Wiring

FIG.3 shows the layout of the connectors (located on the rear of the base

on the NXT and on the left side panel of the NXD panels).

Power Connection

A PSN4.4 or PSN6.5 Power Supply can indirectly supply power to the

Modero panels via the NXA-AVB Breakout Box. FIG.4 shows a sample

wiring configuration using both an indirect or direct PSN power connection

for a CV Modero Panel.
