MD-1002 Installation 

The MD-1002 can be installed via several mounting options: Use the included clear 

plastic Backbox to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. Other optional 

AMX mounting solutions include the MSA-MMK2-10 Multi Mount Kit, the MSA-AMK2-10 

Any Mount Kit, CB-MXSA-10 Rough-In Box and the MSA-RMK-10 Rack Mount Kit. Refer to 

the Quick Start Guide included with each mounting kit for instructions.

Power Over Ethernet

 

Power for the MD-1002 is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an 

AMX certified PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AT-TC, PoE Injector, 802.3AT 

Compliant (FG423-84). Connect the incoming Ethernet cable to the RJ-45 port 

on the MD-1002.

Plastic Backbox

The MD-1002 comes with a clear plastic Backbox. This Backbox can be used to 

mount the touch panel into most standard wall materials. The Backbox can also 

used to mount the panel into other mounting options.

Mounting holes (x4) for installing the backbox into a Rough-In Box (screws not included)

Mounting holes (X4) for use with mounting screws 

(not included)

Use these mounting holes to install the Backbox 

into thin walls (less than 0.5” thick) or solid 

surfaces

STEP 1: Install the Plastic Backbox 

Use the included Installation Template to determine the placement of the 

Backbox in the mounting surface. 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.  After ensuring proper placement, cut an opening in the mounting surface 

for the Backbox, using the included Installation Template as a guide. Note: 

Consider making the actual cutout opening slightly smaller than the provided 

dimensions. This provides a margin of error if the opening needs to be 

expanded. Too little wall material removed is always better than too much.

2.  Thread the incoming cables (Ethernet and Micro-USB) from their terminal 

locations through the surface opening, leaving enough slack in the wiring to 

accommodate any re-positioning of the panel.

3.  Remove the Backbox knockouts and thread incoming cables through the 

knockout holes.

4.  Gently push the Backbox into the mounting surface.

•  This Backbox uses four Locking Tabs to secure the Backbox to the wall. 

For typical mounting surfaces, such as drywall, the locking tabs are the 

primary method for securing the Backbox to the wall.

•  To ensure a stable installation, 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. For thin walls or 

solid surfaces, use mounting screws (not included) - see FIG. 2.

5.  Extend the Locking Tabs by tightening the Locking Tab screws until snug (FIG. 3):

CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking 

tabs on the plastic Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Excessive torque on the 

tab screws can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox. 

•  Extend the Locking Tabs only AFTER the Backbox is inserted into the wall.

•  When installing the Backbox, make sure that it is positioned correctly.

•  The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been 

extended and are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal  

if necessary.

STEP 2: Insert Connectors on the Touch Panel

 

1.  Before installing the touch panel into the Backbox, connect the Ethernet 

and USB cables to the rear of the panel.

2.  Remove power at the terminal end before continuing with the installation.

Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The panel 

must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into 

the mounting surface.

STEP 3: Secure the Touch Panel To the Backbox

 

The Backbox uses notches and tabs on the front edges (top and bottom) to 

secure the panel into place. Follow the steps below to install the panel into the 

Backbox, starting the upper edge of the touch panel:

UPPER TABS FIRST

1.  Center the top edge of the touch panel against the upper outside edge of the 

Backbox and latch the top of the panel onto the Backbox top-hooks (FIG. 4):

Use the top-hooks on the top edge of the Backbox to 

latch the top of the touch panel into place

ENGAGING THE TOP EDGE OF THE PANEL WITH THE TOP HOOKS ON THE BACKBOX

2.  Gently press the top edge of the touch panel into place to engage the 

panel’s notches and the top-hooks on the Backbox.

LOWER TABS- Gently Press Into Place

1.  Swing the bottom edge of the touch panel into position until it rests against 

the lower outside edge of the Backbox. 

Note: If a gap is observed between the panel and the Backbox, or binding is 

felt while locking down the panel, stop and verify there are no cables in the 

way. Do not force the panel into position, or the touch screen or the panel 

electronics may be damaged.

2.  Gently press the bottom edge of the panel gently but firmly and ONLY IN 

THE PLACES INDICATED BELOW until the tabs click into place to secure the 

panel (FIG. 5):
