NOTE
What is the System Touch?
The System Touch is a touchscreen device with a 4.3 in. color LCD display that acts as a front-end interface to
controllers on a BACnet network.
The System Touch has built-in temperature and humidity sensors. You can use their values to control equipment.
You can also wire an external thermistor to the System Touch and use its value instead of the built-in temperature
sensor's value.
You can install and run the System Touch with only its built-in system screens, or you can create a custom
touchscreen file in ViewBuilder. This requires that you create custom screens in ViewBuilder, and then save the
touchscreen (.touch) file. See "Working with System Touch screens" in ViewBuilder Help.
To use custom screens, the System Touch must have v2.00-015 or later firmware.
• View Equipment Touch screens for individual controllers on the network. The information on the controller
screens depends on whether the controller is a Carrier controller or a third-party controller, and if it is an
Carrier controller, whether it has an Equipment Touch file.
To see a controller's Equipment Touch screens on the System Touch, the Equipment Touch file must
be downloaded to the controller before you create the System Touch database.
