AMX NXD/NXT-1200VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG, NXD/NXT-1700VG manual Pre-wall Installation of the Conduit Boxes

Installation Procedures: 12" and 15" Panels

Pre-wall Installation of the Conduit Boxes

Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within a metallic outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing the NXD into a conduit box (CB-TP15 or CB-TP12). The back box is only removed to either gain access for the replacement of the Memory/Compact Flash or upgrade the unit with an MB-TP Universal VESA Mounting Kit.

INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX TO

ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall/sheetrock after the conduit box has been installed.

The most important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the mounting tabs must be mounted flush against the outside of the sheetrock.

The CB-TP12 and CB-TP15 conduit wallboxes are optional metallic boxes that are secured onto stud beams prior to the installation of a solid surface. Installation procedures and configurations can vary. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario.

1.Fasten the CB-TP15 or CB-TP12 to a stud through the stud fastening holes, located on the inside of the conduit box (FIG. 38), by using either nails or screws.

2.Remove any necessary wiring knockouts from the (optional) conduit box (CB-TP12/15)

(C in FIG. 39) where the necessary cables are threaded through for connection to the touch panel.

3.Thread the incoming RJ-45, Ethernet, and any other audio/video wiring through the knockouts. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines for the 1200VG and 1500VG Panels section on page 68 for pinout descriptions. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

4.Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD unit into the CB-TP12/15.
