Installation Recommendations
During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device’s operation. In
these circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the
device’s maximum rated temperature.
MXD-2000XL-PAN / MXD-1900L-PAN Installation
Note that the figures in this section show landscape (-L) panels, but the concepts presented here apply equally to portrait
(-P) panels, since the hardware is the same for landscape and portrait panels except for the horizontal / vertical
orientation. Detailed specifications drawings for the MXD-2000XL-PAN
and MXD-1900L-PAN (portrait and
landscape) are available to download from www.amx.com.
MXD-2000XL-PAN and MXD-1900L-PAN panels may be installed directly into a solid surface, using either solid
surface screws or the included locking tabs for different mounting options.
Once installed, the panel is contained within a clear outer housing known as the Backbox (FIG. 23). This Backbox is
removed when installing the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-15).
While the outside temperature of the device may be at or below its maximum
operating temperature, special care must be taken before and during installation to
ensure that the maximum operating temperature is not exceeded within wall or rack
installation spaces.
Refer to A Note About Wall and Rack Installation on page 45 for important notes
on thermal concerns with Wall and Rack Installations.

Temporary Mounting Posts
For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary
method for securing the Backbox to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use
mounting screws (not included).
