MST-431/MSD-431-L Features 12 MST-431/MSD-431-L 4.
Installation Installation MST-431 Installation Any USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) may be connected to the USB port on the rear of the device (FIG. 8). Updates to the device’s firmware are also made via the USB port.. USB Port Entry for RJ45/ PoE Cable Speaker FIG.
Installation MSD-431-L Installation The MSD-431-L 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 MSD-431-L is contained within a clear outer housing known as the back box (FIG. 9). This back box is removed when installing the device into a wall or into a Rough-In Box. Locking tabs FIG.
Installation Sleep Button Back box knockout Locking tabs MSD-431-L (front) Back box knockout FIG. 11 Side view of MSD-431-L In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MSD-431-L, 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. The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic back box is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM].
Installation Using the included template to select the final placement of the back box is highly recommended. The outside edges of the template are the same dimensions as the touch panel, which allows you to troubleshoot possible conflicts with wall edges, doors, and other potential obstacles. 3. After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the back box, using the MSD-431-L Installation Template as a guide.
Installation Top Micro-USB RJ45 Port Port FIG. 14 Rear of the MSD-431-L 10. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation. Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the mounting surface. 11.
Installation If you see a gap between the panel and the back box, or feel any binding while locking down the panel, stop immediately and verify that no cables or other items are in the way. Do not force the panel into position, as this can cause damage to the touch screen or the panel electronics. 12. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.
