Position the faceplate/bezel (D in FIG. 17) above the enclosure base. 12. Securely grab the LCD and enclosure unit combo (enclosure unit is made up of the base and faceplate). 13. Carefully flip the combo over onto a soft cloth to prevent scratching the faceplate during the installation of the mounting blocks. 14. Insert the mounting blocks (B in FIG. 17) into the opening below both sides of the faceplate. The elevated groove on the blocks should lie against the base enclosure. 15. Insert two of the provided enclosure screws into each of the mounting blocks and secure the bracket to the faceplate by turning the screws using a clockwise motion. Repeat this step for the second mounting block. For the unpainted (Aluminum) configuration, the AMX logo will be included in the package (not attached). After the custom pain and finish (refer to the caution on page 13), please attach the self-adhesive AMX logo into the provided recess on the front of the panel and the rubber feet at the bottom of the unit.The attachment of the AMX logo is a strict AMX branding requirement. If using the enclosed BNC connector (41-1077) to terminate the cable, use of a hexagonal crimp tool (with a 0.178 opening) for installation onto the red mini-coax cable (see FIG. 15 on page 14). Wiring the Touch Panel The AXD-CV6 uses a 4-pin AXlink connector for power and data. IF NOT USING tabletop cable, the user must wire both AXlink and BNC cables for use on both the Wall Mount and enclosed touch panels. This section indicates the wiring procedures for configuring the two types of cables. Use a hexagonal crimp tool (with a 0.178 opening) to crimp the BNC connector (41-1077) onto the red mini-coax cable (see FIG. 17 on page 15) located at the terminal end (no connectors) of the tabletop cable (64-5924-01). If the distance between the panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you must connect an optional 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector. If the panel is connected to an AXlink cable and receiving power from a 2-pin PWR connector, power is not sent through the AXlink cable to any connected device. Some installations of the AXD-CV6 may require a 90° right-angle BNC adapter to accommodate a sharp bend in the video cable. Be careful not to crimp the video cable and possibly damage the BNC connector by bending the video cable too far. Preparing captive wires You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires. 1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires. 2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section). 3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector. 16 6" Color Video Touch Panels
