CB-TP5i Rough-In Box for NXD-500i 5" Touch Panel
Overview
The CB-TP5i Rough-In Box (FG038-11) is an optional accessory for the NXD-500i 
Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel. The Rough-In Box allows the panel to be 
mounted directly to the studs/pre-wall. The NXD-500i is contained within a plastic 
outer housing or back box, and the back box attaches to the Rough-In Box.
Specifications 
WARNING: In order to guarantee a stable installation of the NXD-500i, the distance 
between the CB-TP5i and the outer wall surface must be a minimum of .50 inches 
(1.27cm) and a maximum of .875 inches (2.22cm).
• Refer to the SP62-0038-01 diagram for detailed installation dimensions.
Pre-Wall Installation of the CB-TP5i Rough-In Box
1. Remove the rough-in box cover (A in FIG. 1) before installation of the Rough-In 
Box (B).  Note: the cover MUST be removed before drywall installation. The 
cover may be reinstalled after drywall installation using 4-40 screws (not 
included).
2. Attach the optional Back Cover for the CB-TP5i (FG038-12) if necessary, as 
required by building codes. (For more information, refer to the Back Cover 
Installation section on page 2.)
3. Fasten the CB-TP5i rough-in box to the stud through the holes on the Stud 
Mounting tabs (FIG. 2), using either nails or screws (not provided).  
4. Remove the appropriate wiring knockouts from the rough-in box to 
accommodate the cables being threaded through to the NXD-500i touch panel.
5. Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring through the knockouts. Use of the 
left wiring knockouts is recommended with this installation for ease of connection 
of the cables to the touch panel. Leave enough slack in the wiring to 
accommodate installation of the panel.
6. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the main NXD-500i device into the 
CB-TP5i.
7. Cut out the opening for the NXD-500i where the wall has been placed over the 
Rough-In Box. Cutting out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the 
installation drawings, so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments, is 
very highly recommended.
