ATTENTION!
Verify the NetLinx Master Firmware is build 117 or greater for the ME260 and 
NI-Series Controllers. Verify the TPDesign4 program being used is Version 2.2 
or higher. Earlier versions of the Master firmware and TPD4 software are 
incompatible with these panels.
Overview
The AMX MVP-7500 panel (FG5965-01) uses an internal wireless compact flash 
card to communicate with a NetLinx Master via an off-the-shelf 802.11b Wireless 
Access Point. MVP units utilize a 7.5" Color Passive LCD to display a 640 x 480 
pixel image using over 4000 colors and features programmable firmware that 
can be upgraded via either the wireless card or the mini-USB port. The 
MVP-7500 panel also features nine programmable external pushbuttons and two 
sets of display LEDs. These panels are configured to operate on a standard 
802.11b wireless network. On the 4 available IR channels, this panel utilizes both 
AMX IR frequencies (38 KHz or 455 KHz) and 2 additional user-defined IR 
libraries. 
 
Specifications     
Connections and Wiring
The PS4.4 Power Supply (with barrel connector) provides power to the 
MVP-7500 panel either directly (via the power connector located on the lower 
right-side of the panel) or indirectly (by routing incoming power through the 
Docking Station’s MVP Interface Connector). 
Once the MVP is connected to a docking station; charging priority is 
first given to any MVP-BP battery packs found within the MVP-7500 
and then to any other batteries inserted into the docking station’s 
battery charging compartments.
USB Connection
This panel uses a standard version 1.1 Type A to Mini-B 5-Wire USB cable to 
provide communication between the touch panel and the PC. This 
communication is used to transfer IR data, firmware KIT files, and TPD4 touch 
panel files.
WARNING: Although firmware upgrades can be done over wireless Ethernet; it 
is strongly recommended that firmware KIT files be transferred over a direct USB 
connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery 
power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file 
system may become corrupted.
