5" Modero Widescreen Touch Panel

Introduction

Introduction
The NXD-CV5 5" Modero Widescreen Color Video Touch Panels (FIG. 1) are the industry’s first
widescreen mini-touch panels and are available only through AMX.

NXD-CV5 (front view)
(FG2261)

FIG. 1 Sample 5" Video Touch Panel

This is the first 5" diagonal Widescreen Color Active video-capable touch panel in the control and
automation industry. This Color Video (CV) panel displays NTSC/MPAL/PAL/SECAM video formats
within variable sized windows up to 800 x 480. It includes a built-in microphone, speakers,
audio/headphone connector, and six NetLinx programmable pushbuttons.
This panel currently supports Intercom functionality which allows two communicating CV5 panels (the
NetLinx Master must control all intercom and paging) to transmit half-duplex audio signals over a
network and be used as an Intercom system. Audio and Video is delivered to the panel via a CAT5
connection from an optional NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box.
The NXD-CV5 panel (FG2261) is shipped, by default with a Trim Ring containing
buttons. The user can later choose to alter the Faceplate/Trim Ring configuration of
the CV5 touch panel by choosing the install the included No-Button Trim RIng.

Key features common to both panels include:
CV5 panels are based on the latest display technology and support AMX's 4th generation (G4)
graphics which provide higher brightness, richer colors, and deeper contrast. The new G4
graphics technology is supported by the latest AMX TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design program.
CV5 panels display eye-catching images and full-motion video on a large 16:9 image format,
while providing a wide 90-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle.
CV5 panels feature a front panel light sensor, motion sensor, IR receiver and a Sleep/Setup
Access combo button.
CV5 panels support AMX Computer Control, which enables remote viewing and control of
any networked computer directly from the panel. This gives the user the ability to launch
digital music from a PC, cruise the Internet, check and respond to E-mail, open software files,
and launch applications. Anything you can do on your PC can be accomplished through these
panels.

The breakout box unit can be mounted on either a horizontal flat surface or into an
equipment rack (by removing the front screws and attaching it to an optional AC-RK).
The power supply being used on the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET is dependant on the
power requirements of the target touch panel.

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide both communication and 10/100 network connectivity
between the panel, NXA-AVB/ETHERNET, NetLinx Master, and the network.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET connectors and cables
The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear connectors. The rear
connectors are used to input external signals. The front connectors are used to communicate signals
between the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET and a target Modero panel. FIG. 7 provides a layout of the wiring
connection both into and from the breakout box.

FIG. 7 NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram

The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right):
• AUDIO IN:

6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. Each
channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors
(2 sets of 3 for each channel).
An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert
them into their respective locations on the Audio In port.
Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio
signal can be connected to this input.

• MIC OUT:

4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal
connectors.
An example of this cable is to strip the terminal ends of a 3.5mm mini-jack and
insert them into their respective locations on the Mic Out port. This signal can
be fed as a Line Level In to either an amplifier or an AMX VOL card.
Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal
can be connected to this output.

• Video In BNCs: Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into the
NXA-AVB/ETHERNET. This feed is then redirected out to a Modero panel
through the front Audio/Video CAT5 port.
• ETHERNET:

5" Modero Widescreen Touch Panel

RJ-45 connector routes data to the G4 touch panel through the front Ethernet
port. These connections use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide
communication between the target touch panel, breakout box, and NetLinx
Master.

CV5 Touch Panel Accessories

• PWR:

2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power
supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it
through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the front
power connector).

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Unbalanced Audio
Most domestic audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio
output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0 V" or "Ground". Typical
connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors, DIN plugs/sockets, and 0.25" (6.3mm) or 3.5mm jack
plugs/sockets.
Unbalanced audio is adequate for most domestic environments and for line-level signals in a typical
broadcast studio. Problems may occur if the signals are carried over long distances, especially if the
source and destination have separate main supplies. Use the following wiring drawing (FIG. 8) to
configure an unbalanced audio connection.

FIG. 8 Wiring the rear AUDIO IN and MIC OUT for use with Unbalanced Audio

When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 8), the "-" and the "GND" terminals
should be connected together and then connected to the GND of the unbalance audio signal. When
connecting to an unbalanced audio input from the MIC OUT connector (FIG. 8), wire the "+" terminal to
the signal input, and the "GND" terminal to the signal ground.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Balanced Audio
Professional audio equipment will often use balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR"
connectors. A balanced audio signal consists of a pair of wires carrying the audio signal in anti-phase
with each other (if one wire carries a positive voltage, the other carries an equal and opposite negative
voltage).
The advantage of balanced audio over unbalanced audio is its ability to reject external interference added
as the signal is carried over the wire. The receiving equipment takes the voltage difference between the
two wires as the input signal. Interference will usually get added to both wires equally, and so gets
cancelled by the receiving equipment.

5" Modero Widescreen Touch Panel

CV5 Touch Panel Accessories

The 3 wires used in a typical XLR lead are often referred to as Ground, Live (Hot) and Return (Cold).
"Live" and "Return" carry the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" versions of the audio respectively. The pins
of the XLR plug/socket are as follows:
• X = Ground
• L = Live (Hot)
• R = Return (Cold)

When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 9), use all three audio
terminals (+, -, and GND), then connect the "+" terminal to the "live" signal, the "-" terminal to the
"return" signal, and the "GND" terminal to the ground signal.

Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box
Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within an outer housing (back box). This back box is not
removed when installing the NXD into a CB-TP5 Rough-In Box. The back box is only removed to gain
access for the replacement of the internal components.
INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND ROUGH-IN BOX
MOUNTING TABS TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL or SHEETROCK.
This gap allows the installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the CB-TP5 Rough-In
Box has been installed.

The CB-TP5 is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a stud/beam in a pre-wall setting (where no
walls are present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary depending on the installation
environment. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation
scenario. The most important thing to remember when mounting this rough-in box is that the NXD-CV5
Mounting Tabs must lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock (FIG. 17).
Refer to SP-2261-01 for detailed installation dimensions.
It is recommended that you cut out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the
installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.
The wiring knockouts on the left side will be used for the NXD-CV5 Wall Mount panel
connectors, so always secure the rough-in box to the stud using the Stud Mounting Holes on
the right side of the box.

1. Rest the right Stud Mounting tabs onto the stud (keeping the knockouts on the left). Be sure to
leave enough of a gap between the stud and NXD Mounting tabs to accommodate the
installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the rough-in box has been mounted. Ultimately,
the Mounting Tabs should lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock.
2. Fasten the CB-TP5 rough-in box to the stud through the holes on the right Stud Mounting tabs
(FIG. 17), using either nails or screws.
3. Remove the wiring knockouts from the left side of the rough-in box (CB-TP5) (FIG. 17) to
accommodate the cables being threaded through to the NXD touch panel.

Installing the NXD into drywall using Expansion Clips
Expansion clips are mounted through the three oval holes located along the rim of the NXD-CV5. As the
screw is tightened, the clip bends toward the insertion hole and into the wall. This bending creates a
"grip" on the wall by either pressing onto the wall or by securing the drywall between the housing and
the drywall clip.
The most important thing to remember when mounting the NXD is that the outer frame (Mounting Tabs)
must be installed flush against the mounting surface.
Refer to SP-2261-02 for detailed installation dimensions (reproduced in FIG. 19).
It is recommended that you cutout the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the
installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.

1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout
process.
2. Cut out the surface for the NXD Wall Mount unit.

Wiring Guidelines for the CV5 Panels
The CV5 panel uses a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the
2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the power requirements information (page 2) to
determine the power draw.
The incoming PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding
locations within the PWR connector.
This unit should only have one source of incoming power.
Using more than source of power to the panel can result in damage to the internal
components and a possible burn out.
Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete.

Preparing captive wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

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.
Wiring a power connection
To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming
PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the
connector (FIG. 23).

1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable.
Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.
2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip
the threads and damage the connector.
3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-compliant power
supply.

There are 2 possible Master Connection Types available: USB or Ethernet.
A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a
corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).
An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a
Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

5" Modero Widescreen Touch Panel

Configuring Communication

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection
and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. I

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the
PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This driver is
part of both the NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 software application installations.

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master
NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its
own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel
is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.
For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must
have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4
software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on
www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication
1. If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tech
Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website
and locate the AMX USB Driver executable (AMX USBLAN Setup exe).
2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.
3. Launch the Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC
The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new hardware device and
the USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). Each time thereafter the panel is
"recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background.
When the panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association
between panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the
large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.
If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3.
The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before
connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on
the rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power.
3. After the CV5 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds)
to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
4. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System
Connection page (FIG. 33).
5. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB.

the Program Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and
send a signal to the PC (indicated by a green System Connection icon). If this is your first time
installing the USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window (FIG. 34) appears on the PC.

FIG. 34 USB driver installation popup window

This window notifies you that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant
device and the PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication
to the panel.
This driver was installed on your PC during the installation of the latest NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 software application installations. These applications should be installed prior
to setting up a USB connection to the panel.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection
It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a
Master" is done via the System Connection page where you configure the IP Address, System Number
and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. Until those parameters are
configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a
Master).

5" Modero Widescreen Touch Panel

Configuring Communication

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings
This panel has only one method of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wired (direct
Ethernet connection) (wireless communication is not available on the CV5). You can only configure the
connection parameters through the System Connection page. This type of communication can be
established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address
(typically provided by your System Administrator).

IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet
1. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System
Connection page.
2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields
appear on the two separate System Connection and Secondary Connection pages;
the information populating these fields is identical.
If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both
pages within the altered field.
Example: Domain is altered on Secondary Connection page, the value is then also
changed within the Domain field of the System Connection page.

3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.
DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and
once the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.

4. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
6. Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is
rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
This information can be found in either the: Workspace- System name > Define
Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the
Device Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.

7. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.
8. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel.

8. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
9. Press the Primary DNS field to open a Keyboard, enter the Primary DNS Address (provided by your
System Administrator) and press Done when compete. Repeat this process for the Secondary DNS
field.
10. Press the Domain field to open a Keyboard, enter the resolvable domain Address (this is provided by
your System Administrator and equates to a unique Internet name for the panel), and press Done
when complete.
11. Navigate to the Master Connection section of this page to begin configuring the communication
parameters for the target Master.

Step 2: Choose a Master Connection Mode Setting
There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System
Connection page. URL is the most common method.
Master Connection MODE options:
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or
any other Internet facility.
In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach
to it).
• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from
its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master
acts as a "Client".
• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number
(assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this
case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in
place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx
Master manual for more detailed information.

Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type
When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first
be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio
or your System Administrator.

Before beginning:

1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable (connected from
either the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub).

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.

2. Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is communicating via an Ethernet connection

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Upgrading Modero Firmware
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the your particular NetLinx Master
Instruction Manual for detailed setup procedures.
Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the
Panel Calibration section on page 31.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading
files via Ethernet.
Configure your panel for a direct connection. Refer to the Configuring
Communication section on page 33 for more information.

It is recommended that firmware Kit files only be transferred over a direct Ethernet
connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.

The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required
steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit
files to a NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master). Refer to either your
Master’s literature or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.
A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to
communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a
panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the
Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.

Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is
securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered-on before connecting the
mini-USB connector to the panel.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB
driver installation.
This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 application installations.

Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed; confirm the proper installation of the
large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.
2. After the CV5 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds)
to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

Light Sensor:

Allows you to monitor and alter the sensitivity of the Modero panel light sensor:
• The Light Sensor Level field indicates the level used to report the light
sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
• The Light Sensor Level Port field indicates the port used to report the light
sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
• The Light Sensor Channel field indicates the level used to report the sensor
channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4). It is On when you are
below the Maximum dim mode level (read-only).
• The Light Sensor Channel Port field indicates the port used to report the
sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
• The Light Level field provides a numeric value representing the current value
of the light level detected by the on-board photo-sensor.
• The Light Level bargraph displays a horizontal bargraph indicating the current
value of the light level detected by the on-board photo-sensor. This bargraph
provides a visual representation of the numeric value displayed within the
Light Level field.
• Use the Dim Mode Max Level bargraph to alter the Maximum DIM level
value used to activate the DIM Mode Brightness Level (range = 0 - 100).
• Use the Dim Mode Min Level bargraph to alter the Minimum DIM level value
used to activate the DIM Mode Brightness Level (range = 0 - 100).
- The position of this bargraph can never exceed that of the Dim Mode
Max Level.

Dim Mode Minimum
Brightness:

Allows you to alter the sensitivity of the Modero panel light sensor:
• Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive the DIM Mode
feature:
- Enable - activates this feature. Once active (by receiving a value below the
Dim Mode Min Level value), the current light level ramps to the DIM Mode
value within a few seconds.
- Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature.
• Use the DIM Mode Brightness UP/DN buttons to alter the DIM level.
- Range = 0 - 100.
- The lower the value, the darker a room must be before the LCD Brightness
value changes to conform to a DIM room (and vice versa with a
higher value).
• The DIM Mode Minimum Brightness bargraph indicates the current DIM
Mode Brightness level.
- This level corresponds to the brightness level of the LCD used when
the DIM Mode is active.
- The Brightness value of the panel in a DIM room (low-light) is much
less than that of a Non-DIM (well to brightly-lit) where the LCD Brightness
must be higher to display the screen content clearly.

Sensor Setup Page Elements (Cont.)
Motion Sensor:

Provides the following fields:
• The Motion Detection field displays a reactive button that changes color
(illuminates) and displays the words "Motion Detected" when motion is
detected by the Modero panel’s front motion sensor.
• The Motion Sensor Port field indicates the port used to report the motion
sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).
• The Motion Sensor Channel field indicates the channel used to report the
motion sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only).

Wake Panel On Motion
Sense:

The Wake Panel Sensitivity relates to the sensitivity of the motion sensor to
detect motion and wake the panel accordingly.
• Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive this feature:
- Enable - activates this feature. Activating this feature reactivates the
panel from a panel timeout (sleep) mode.
- Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature and
makes the panel use the specified Display Timeout value set on the
Setup Page.
• Use the Wake Panel UP/DN buttons to alter the sensitivity value.
- Range = 0 - 100.
• The horizontal WAKE PANEL SENSITIVITY bargraph indicates the current
motion sensitivity value associated with waking the panel from a timeout.

There is a relationship between the motion sensor and the panel sleep feature. If a
panel is set to Sleep Mode, there is a time delay before the motion sensor is activated
to detect motion. By creating a time delay to the detection, this allows a user to set
the sleep mode and leave the panels’ detection range. In this way, the panel doesn’t
awake immediately after the sleep is active and you move away.

Making the most of the Automated Brightness Control feature (DIM Mode)
Please follow the steps below to set up Automated Brightness Control:

1. Set the lighting conditions in the room to maximum (turn On all the lights).
2. Set the Maximum Panel Brightness, from the Setup page, to a comfortable level.
Sitting in front of the panel, you should be able to comfortably see someone sitting
behind the panel without being “blinded” by the panel.

3. Open the Sensors Setup page (FIG. 70) from the Protected Setup menu section.
4. Move around the panel and block the direct or indirect light from the room fixtures with your body.
Take note of the drop in the lighting level being detected by the panel in response to your
movements.
5. Set the Maximum brightness of the Dimmer (Dim Mode Max Level) below the detected drop. This
will make sure that the panel does not react to variations in the lighting conditions of a normal
working environment.
The maximum (upper level) of the dimmer should be at least 15% lower than the
maximum detected level.

6. Set the minimum lighting conditions in the room (not complete darkness but the minimal lighting
setup, unless complete darkness is an “operational option” for the room).

7. Set the Minimum Dimmer Brightness (Dim Mode Min Level) to a comfortable level by sitting in
front of the panel. You should be able to comfortably see someone sitting behind the panel without
being “blinded” by the panel.
8. Move around the panel and block the direct or indirect light from the room fixtures with your body.
Take note of the drop in the lighting level being detected by the panel in response to your
movements.
9. Set the Minimum brightness of the Dimmer (Dim Mode Max Level) below the detected drop. This
will make sure that the panel does not react to variations in the lighting conditions of a normal
working environment.
The minimum (lower level) of the dimmer should be at least 10% lower than the
minimum detected level (ex: lower dimmer level at 30% if the detected lighting of the
room is at 40%).

Image Caching Page
The Image Caching page (FIG. 72) configures the allocation of memory for image caching. The G4
graphics engine caches images to decrease load time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is
always enabled, and images (both static and dynamic) are stored in the RAM cache as they are viewed.
The size of RAM cache is automatically configured to take into account available memory versus
memory that may be needed by the panel later. As the RAM cache approaches its maximum size, the
oldest items in the cache may be discarded to make room for newer items. If Flash caching is enabled,
dynamic images that would have been discarded will actually be moved to Flash, since it is typically
faster to retrieve images on Flash than across a network (although it is slower than RAM cache). Note
that since static images are already stored on Flash, they are never moved to the Flash cache, so Flash
caching applies only to dynamic images. Images in Flash cache are moved back to RAM cache the next
time they are viewed. As the Flash cache approaches its maximum size, the least recently used items may
be discarded to make room for new items.

RAM Hit Rate

The percentage of image requests (static and dynamic) satisfied by accessing
the cache.
100 * (# of cache hits) / (# of cache hits + # of cache misses)
# of cache hits - the number of times an image was requested that the image
was found in the cache
# of cache misses - the number of times an image was requested that the
image could not be found in the cache, and the image had to either be loaded
from flash or obtained via the network (for dynamic images). It is considered a
RAM Cache Miss even if the image is subsequently found in flash cache.

Items in Cache (RAM)

The number of images that are currently stored in the RAM cache.

Flash Current Size

The maximum flash space allocated for image caching. Flash space is used for
caching only when there is not enough available memory in the RAM cache for
a newly requested image (it is used only for dynamic images).

Flash Hit Rate

The percentage of image requests (dynamic only) that are satisfied by
accessing the flash cache.
100 * (# of flash cache hits) / (# of flash cache hits + # of flash cache misses)
# of flash cache hits - # of times a dynamic image could not be found in RAM
cache but was found in flash cache
# of flash cache misses - # of times a dynamic image could not be found in
either RAM or flash cache. RAM cache hits are not relevant in this calculation.

"^" Button Commands
These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive.
All commands that begin with "^" have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and
button state range. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values
for the Device: Port : System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).
Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single
command.
Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single
command.
"." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And'
notation.
