MXD/T-700 7" Modero® X Series Touch Panels
Installing the MXD-700 into a wall
The MXD-700 comes with a clear plastic backbox (designed to attach the panel to most standard wall
materials. This backbox has two locking tabs (one on top and one on bottom) to help lock the backbox to the
wall. These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall. (FIG. 15).
To install the back box:
1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process.
2. For best results, use the MXD-700 Installation Template (68-5968-04) to ensure proper placement
(FIG. 16). The template is marked on one side with directions for both landscape and portrait installations
to ensure that the touch panel and back box are properly aligned.

When installing the backbox, make sure that the assembly is in the correct position
and in the correct place. Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place,
removing the backbox may be difficult without having access to the back of the wall
or causing damage to the wall.
For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, use the locking tabs as the primary
method for securing the back box to the surface. For thin walls or solid surfaces, use
mounting screws (not included).
In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MXD-700, 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]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the
plastic back box.
