MXD-1000/ MXD-700 Installation

NOTE: Refer to A Note About Wall and Rack Installation on page 42 for important notes on thermal concerns with Wall and Rack

Installations.

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-1000

and MXD-700 are available to download from www.amx.com.

MXD-1000 and MXD-700 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. 36). This Backbox is removed to

install the device into a wall or when using the optional Rough-In Box accessory (FG039-17).

NOTE: 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).

Installing the MXD-1000 / MXD-700 Into a Wall

The Backbox has locking tabs to lock the Backbox to the wall - there are four on the MXD-1000 and two on the MXD-700 (FIG. 37).

These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall. (FIG. 24 and FIG. 25).
