SETUP AND USE
The T
esira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming
of the TEC-X 2000. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical
connections and device setup. For more details on software setup, including
programming the functions of the touchscreen, please consult the Tesira Help File.
The TEC-X 2000 Wall Control Panel is designed to be mounted directly to a 4"
X 2" electrical junction box per room design requirements (each remote requires
its own box).An optional tabletop mount is also available. Up to 4 TEC-X 2000
panels may be installed in daisy-chain. Installation hardware is included. Detailed
installation instructions are on the following pages.
Once installed in the appropriate location, all further set-up and configuration is
done via Tesira software.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Biamp TEC-X 2000 Wall Control Panel is a wall-mounted control device
used to manage certain functions of a Tesira system via a customizable touch
panel. Button functions may be configured to control presets and a multitude of
logic functions. The TEC-X 2000 is powered by PoE and is easily mounted to a
variety of electrical junction boxes. An optional tabletop mount is also available.
IMPORTANT SAFETY / COMPLIANCE INFO

The TEC-X 2000 is designed to be installed into a standard 'gang' box outlet and
may be daisy-chained up to four additional TEC-X devices.
NOTE: All Ethernet cabling should be connected prior to installation.
Mount the TEC-X 2000 to a junction back box outlet as follows:
The TEC-X 2000 comes 'partially' assembled with a pull tab installed over the
lower clip. This allows easier separation of the face and back plates to prevent
damage.
1. See Figure 2. Pull down and out on the front panel to separate it from the
back plate and remove the pull tab.
NOTE: Do not snap the face plate onto the back plate until all nish work is done to the wall
surfaces and the Ethernet cables have been connected.

"IN".
3. Insert the downstream Ethernet cable through the port labeled "OUT" as
required.
4. See Figure 4. Install screws through the back plate into the gang-box.

6. Carefully clip the face plate into place over the installed back plate:
a. See Figure 6. Align the upper clips into the two receptacles at the top of
the back plate.
b. Snap the lower clip into the receptacle on the back plate.
7. Up to four TEC-X 1000 or TEC-X 2000 devices may be daisy-chained
together in any combination (four devices total). The maximum distance
allowed between devices in a daisy chain is 100 meters (maximum of 400
meters overall).
TABLE-MOUNT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
The table-mount may only be used with the last device of a daisy chain.
For face plate removal see Maintenance.

WIRING
The TEC-X 2000 must be connected to a Tesira Server-Class device (such as a
TesiraFORTÉ). Up to 4 TEC-X 2000 devices may be connected in daisy-chain.
TEC-X 2000 may be included in such a daisy-chain, as long as only 4 TEC-X
devices are connected. Figure 7 gives a basic layout with a TesiraFORTE and
four TEC-X 2000 wall control devices.

OPERATION
Operation of the TEC-X 2000 varies depending on how the device is configured in
Tesira. The following section gives basic information on touchscreen navigation.
1. Once all connections are made and devices powered on, the TEC-X 2000
can be congured to initiate a variety actions and presets as congured in
Tesira, such as:
• Lock/Unlock a remote
• Select audio source
• Adjust audio levels
• Recall presets
• Mute signal
• Combine/Divide rooms (Room Combiner)
• Send commands to a 3rd party device
2. Upon initial startup after conguration in Tesira software, the TEC-X
will display a splash-screen and information about the device (rmware
version, MAC address, etc.). Once initialized, the control functions will be
available.
NOTE: Tesira programmers have the option to lock the device so that a PIN
code will be required to access functions.
3. The buttons may be congured in the Tesira software. The interface may
be customized to match the physical device.
4. The Tesira software allows for multiple pages each with unique icons, text,
button color, etc. Figures 8 and 9 show examples of color and layout.
5. Buttons will highlight when selected.
6. The display also gives the following information:
• A padlock icon to indicate the device is locked and requires a pin to
access functions.
• Device is in Locate Mode
• Faults is displayed with text indicating the fault
7. The screen will auto-dim and sleep (go blank) after a period of time
determined in Tesira SW.
