6.Locate the two screw holes at either sides of the front speaker grill and then use a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two Tilt Bracket Screws (FIG. 7).

This procedure both loosens the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate (with the AMX logo and Hinge brackets) and provides greater flexibility for the removal of the outer housing.

Without this step, the Hinge brackets (FIG. 7) present an obstacle to the removal of the outer housing and restrict access to the circuit board.

7.Tilt the LCD panel back up to gain better access to the Tilt Bracket cover plate.

8.In a single motion, carefully pull both the Tilt Bracket cover plate and outer housing up and then out (away from the LCD panel) to expose the internal circuit board.

Step 2: Install the new 802.11g CF Card and Antenna (NXT)

1.Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object and then locate wireless card slot on the main board (FIG. 8).

Caution: Use care when re-installing the outer housing. Improper re-installation can cause damage to the internal speakers.

5.While holding the circuit board cover in place, turn the panel back over until the LCD lies facedown on a soft cloth and the under-side of the base is exposed (FIG. 6).

6.Insert and secure the four Housing Screws (using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver) in their respective locations (FIG. 6).

7.Replace any adhesive plastic "feet" that might have been removed during the removal process of the outer housing. These "feet" must be placed back onto their original locations so they can fit into their provided openings on the Battery Base.

8.Grasp both the LCD and housing and then gently rotate the entire unit back onto a flat surface.

9.Insert all connectors and apply power.

NXA-WC80211GCF Installation into Modero NXD Panels

Upgrading the wireless CF card in NXD-CV7/10 WallMount Touch Panels involves removing the rear plastic outer housing (back box), installing the new 802.11g wireless card, and then securely placing the back box back onto the NXD panel, as described below.

Step 1: Remove the Existing NXD Outer Housing

1.Carefully detach all connectors from the side of the touch panel and remove the faceplate from the front of the panel.

2.Place the LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the unit (FIG. 9). This step helps prevent scratching of the LCD.

Two (2) connector overlay release latches

2.Insert the tip of a grounded flat-head screwdriver into one of the card removal grooves (located on either side of the existing CF card), and gently pry it out of the slot. Repeat this process on the opposite card removal groove. This alternating action causes the pre-existing card to "wiggle" away from the on-board connector pins.

3.Grip the old card by its sides and then carefully pull it out of the slot.

4.Remove one of the included alcohol pads and use it to thoroughly clean both the CF metal cover (FIG. 8) and the metal pate on the underside of the terminal antenna (FIG. 1). These surfaces must be properly cleaned to provide good adhesion for the later installation of the wireless antenna.

5.Remove the new NXA-WC80211G CF card from it’s anti-static bag.

6.Grip the sides of the new wireless card and insert it firmly into the slot opening until the contact pins are completely inside the card and securely attached to the pin sockets.

Note: You must precisely align the double-sided tape to the surface of the antenna’s metal plate in order to properly secure the antenna within to the CF metal cover plate.

7.Carefully peel-off one side of the included double-sided tape and adhere the adhesive side to the surface of the antenna’s metal plate.

8.Grip the antenna by its sides and carefully peel-off the remaining protective film on the double-sided tape.

9.Align the antenna atop the CF metal cover plate and press down firmly to securely adhere it.

Note: If the CF metal cover plate is not present over the wireless card slot, you can use the adhesive tape to secure the terminal antenna to the surface of the new card (atop the product label).

10.To complete the upgrade process, close and re-secure the panel enclo- sure using the procedures in the following step.

Step 3: Close and Re-secure the NXT Panel Enclosure

1.In a single motion, gently slide the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate back over the tilt mechanism (located below the LCD) and (while angling the housing downwards) slide the outer housing below the Tilt Bracket and towards the LCD (at a downward angle).

2.Locate the two screw holes at either sides of the front speaker grill and then use a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to both insert and secure the two Tilt Bracket Screws (FIG. 7). This procedure

re-secures the rear Tilt Bracket cover plate (with the AMX logo and Hinge brackets).

3.Press the outer housing forwards until it is aligned over the outer housing installation holes. Once installed and secured, the tilt bracket prevents any further movement (FIG. 7).

4.Gently press down on the housing (toward the base) until it is securely positioned over the circuit board and base.

Unscrew these four pan-head

housing screws to remove the

back box (2 per side)

FIG. 9 Location of the securing screws and overlay on an NXD panel

3.Firmly press down on both connector overlay release latches (located in front of the connectors). Pressing down releases the connector overlay from atop the connectors.

Note: The overlay connector must first be released before the rear back box can be removed from the NXD panel.

4.Gently slide the connector overlay away from the back box housing.

5.Unscrew the outer housing (back box) by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two sets of pan-head Housing Screws, located on both sides of the housing (FIG. 9).

Caution: The circuit board comes pre-wired to internal speakers located on the inside surface of the rear back box. If the back box is removed incorrectly, these speaker wires can become disconnected and damaged.

6.Carefully lift-off the back box housing and angle it over to the side of the unit where the wires are connected to the circuit board (FIG. 10).

7.Gently lay the back box to one side of the unit. This exposes the internal circuit board. Take care not to place undue strain on the speaker cables.

Step 2: Install the new 802.11g CF Card and Antenna (NXD)

1.Complete the procedures outline within Step 2: Install the new 802.11g CF Card and Antenna (NXT) section on page 4 and then continue with the following step.

Step 3: Close and Re-secure the NXD Panel Enclosure

1.Gently place the outer housing back onto the panel and align the four pan-head Housing Screws holes along the edges of the outer housing.

2.Insert and secure the four pan-head Housing Screws back into their pre-drilled holes by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver.

3.Slip the connector overlay back into the connector opening by inserting the top of the overlay into the connector opening in an upwards direction.

4.Align the connectors to their respective locations and secure the overlay by pushing it towards the connectors until the overlay securely snaps back into the overlay release latches.

5.Re-install the faceplate back onto the panel.
