The MXD-1901-PAN 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 MXD-1901-PAN is contained within a clear outer housing known as the 
Backbox. The Backbox is removed to install it into a wall, or when using the optional Rough-
In Box accessory(

FG039-15

).

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-1901-PAN Into a Wall

The MXD-1901-PAN comes with a clear plastic Backbox (FIG. 2) designed to attach the 
panel to most standard wall materials. This Backbox has four locking tabs (2 on top, 2 on 
bottom) to help lock the Backbox to the wall. 

These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.

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. 

In order to ensure a stable installation of the MXD-1901-PAN, 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 Backbox also has four slots for accepting the temporary mounting posts mounted on 
the back of the device.  

Installing the Backbox

Since the cutout for the Backbox is off-center from the edges of the touch panel, use the 
included Installation Template (

68-5968-02

) to ensure proper placement. The template is 

marked on one side with directions for both landscape and portrait installations to ensure that 
the touch panel and Backbox are properly aligned.

WARNING: Using the Installation template to select the final placement of the Backbox 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.

1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the 

cutout process.

2. After ensuring proper placement, cut out the mounting surface for the Backbox, using the 

(included) Installation Template as a guide.

CAUTION: Making sure that the actual cutout opening is slightly smaller than the pro-
vided dimensions is highly recommended. This provides a margin of error if the opening 
needs to be expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

3. Thread the incoming cables from their terminal locations through the surface opening 

(see FIG. 4 on reverse). 

Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. 

 

4. Remove any knockouts as needed on either long dimension of the Backbox to facilitate 

incoming wiring and pull the wiring through the resultant holes.

5. Push the Backbox into the wall opening. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against the 

Backbox.

6. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the 

box until snug. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the 
wall: this ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.

7. For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through the 

mounting holes located at the left and right sides of the panel (FIG. 4). 

In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the 
Backbox.

8. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the device. 
9. 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. 

Remove power before continuing with the installation.
Note: Do not disconnect the cables from the touch panel. The panel must be installed 
with the cables attached before being inserted into the drywall.
Note: Configurations that use the limited access USB port on the side of the connector 
box may require a right angle mating connector (not included).
