NXA-BASE/B Battery Base and Accessories
For more detailed installation and operating instructions, refer to the touch
panel’s instruction manual, available on-line at www.amx.com.
Overview of the NXA-BASE/B
The NXA-BASE/B (Battery Base) is a Modero accessory that allows a touch
panel to function off the collective charge of two internally connected NXT-BP
batteries (FG2255-10). The base provides both power and battery information to
the panel via the panel interface connector (FIG. 2).
This base is also sold as part of an NXA-BASE/B Kit (FG2255K) that contains
one (1) battery base and two (2) batteries. The accompanying batteries can be
charged through either the base or optional NXT-CHG Modero Power Station
(FG2250-50). Refer to the 12" and 15" Modero Touch Panel Series Owner/
Reference Manual for more information.
Specifications
ATTENTION! Before beginning the installation of the battery base to a CV
series touch panel (NXDT-CV7, -CV10, or -CV17), verify that the firmware
on the panel is Build 27 or higher. This build incorporates the necessary
updates for using the Modero with the NXA-BASE/B. This does not apply
to other Modero touch panels. Refer to the touch panel’s instruction
manual for detailed firmware update procedures.
Installing the NXT-BASE/B to an NXT Modero Panel
1. Power Off the panel before attempting to use the NXA-BASE/B.
2. Place the empty battery base onto a flat/level surface.
3. Verify the alignment of the Panel Interface connectors between the panel
(male connector) and base (female connector) (FIG. 2).
4. Carefully place the Modero panel over the base alignment pegs (FIG. 3).
These pegs assist in aligning the panel to the base.
5. Gently apply downward pressure until the panel is securely mounted to the
battery base.
6. Firmly grip both the panel (from side) and battery base (from below).
ATTENTION! The battery base CANNOT be "hot-swapped". A panel
receiving power through a connected PSN6.5 cannot have a Panel
Interface connector from the battery base inserted into the bottom of the
panel. POWER OFF the panel before installing the NXA-BASE/B.
7.
Gently place the touch panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth. This
prevents scratching of the LCD while the battery base is secured.
8. Locate the captive fastners on the underside of the battery base (FIG. 4) by
angling the base combo slightly forwards.
9. Push down on each fastener head by using a flat-head screwdriver to turn
them clockwise until the NXA-BASE/B is securely attached to the
underside of the NXT Modero touch panel.
10. After securing is complete, firmly grip both the panel LCD/base combo and
gently place the unit back onto a flat surface.
