Series 3200 Touchpanels

Description

Functional Description

The Series 3200 touchpanels are 10.4 inch (26.4 cm) passive matrix touchscreen

control panels for the Cresnet remote control system (herein referred to as the

Cresnet system). There are two Series 3200 configurations available: either lectern-

mount or adjustable tiltcase models. Configuration selection is based on application

requirements. Refer to “Configuration Differences” on page 5 for a more detailed

description of each.

The purpose of a Series 3200 unit is to replace hard-wired panels in either a Cresnet

or an RS-232 based control system. The touchpanel is capable of replacing large,

complicated panels with a series of simpler screens, each specific to the control

problem at hand. Thus, very large numbers of functions can be made available to the

user without the confusion associated with hardware panels of that complexity.

Series 3200's icons, graphics, and text can dramatically increase any user's

comprehension of the control environment. Devices, functions, and control zones are

quickly organized and more easily accessed. The Series 3200 touchpanels offer:

• 256-color display

• pop-up sub panels to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal

speed and performance

• multiple button, slider control, and icon configurations

• up to 999 functions and 96 screens

• imported photographs, drawings, and icons

• support for downloadable fonts - proportional and non-proportional

• foreign language text

• RS-232 interface for stand-alone applications (lectern-mount

configuration only)

• printout of screen designs on standard printer

• Position Lock feature provides durable support of panel at any angle of

inclination between 0 and 70 degrees (tiltcase configuration only).

Inquiries” on page 20 for
assistance.

VisionTools™ Pro (VT Pro), a design and programming Windows-based software,
permits the creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating two and
three-dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages which make up a project can be
designed for each Series 3200 touchpanel application. Each page contains objects
such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and
digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system. The
project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash PROM. The
touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC.
The PC may be disconnected from the rack or panel except during reprogramming.
For additional software information, consult the VT Pro help file.

Position Lock Button

The position lock button is centrally located at the front of the base on Series 3200
adjustable tiltcase touchpanels. These touchpanels permit incremental angle positions
indicated by audible clicks. Range of motion is adjustable for user comfort and can
vary from zero inclination to 70 degrees from horizontal. Thus the user can position
the touchscreen to a comfortable angle, just as a microphone can be repositioned for
each speaker. The comfortable angle is herein referred to as user position. The
position lock guarantees that once a user position is established or locked, the angle
will not degrade from repeated presses on the touchscreen.

The touchscreen is free to move up from the horizontal to an incremental angle.
Grasp the touchscreen with a hand at each side and gently tilt up to a comfortable
position. To activate position lock, slightly reverse the motion until the touchpanel
stops moving. Correct hand placement is shown below. The touchscreen is now set
into user position.

Hand Position for Tilting Touchpanel to Vertical

Once in user position, position lock is activated which means the touchscreen can not
be forced to the horizontal position without depressing the position lock button. The
touchscreen is still free to tilt up; a new user position is established at each increment
or audible click.

The position lock button needs to be depressed before the touchscreen can be
returned to the horizontal position. To depress the button, slightly position the
touchscreen in the vertical direction with two hands, avoiding any tilting. The
position lock button can be depressed with one hand; the touchscreen can be tilted
down to the horizontal position with the other, shown on the next page.

Hand Position for Tilting Touchpanel to Horizontal

Physical Description

Touchpanels

The 10.4-inch (26.4 cm) touch sensitive viewing screen is located on the front of the
Series 3200 touchpanel. The electronic hardware is housed in a high impact, black
molded plastic enclosure for the adjustable tiltcase configurations, shown after this
paragraph. This touchpanel is designed to be placed on a counter. It possesses a
hinged base, which can tilt from 0 to 70 degrees. Depress the button located at the
front of the base when pivoting the touchpanel to the horizontal position. A 6-pin, 6­position RJ11 modular jack is located at the rear of the adjustable tiltcase base. Use
the cable assembly (supplied) to connect the touchpanel to the CN-RJ11 (supplied),
which attaches directly to the Cresnet network.

four-pin network, and nine-pin RS-232 connector ports are located on the rear of the
panel.

NOTE: The tiltcase Series 3200 touchpanel is supplied with a cable assembly that
connects to the CN-RJ11 (supplied). Pinout information is provided on the next
page. If the assembly must be modified in any way, Crestron cannot guarantee the
behavior of the touchpanel. The product may not function accordingly, as stated in
this Operations Guide.

Crestron’s CN-RJ11 is a network one-to-one converter that interfaces four-wire
Cresnet and modular devices. The converter is housed in a black enclosure with silk­screened top panel, shown after this paragraph. A four-pin network connector is
located on one side of the unit. A six-position, RJ11 modular telephone jack is
located on the opposite side. At the shorter sides of the CN-RJ11, the enclosure
extends to form feet at a right angle to the side. There are three holes per foot for
inserting screws to further stabilize the unit.

Configuration Differences

There are two Series 3200 configurations available and selection depends on type of
installation (tiltcase or lectern mount). Tiltcase panels are referred to as the CT-3200
and lectern-mount panels are called CT-3200L. Each configuration has a 256-color
display and 1M byte of flash memory.

NOTE: Wall-mount and rack-mount kits are available options that can be purchased
with the lectern-mount configuration. Parts and instructions are provided with each
kit.

As of the date of manufacture, the Series 3200 touchpanels have been tested and
found to comply with specifications for CE marking.

NOTE: These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) these devices may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

Setup

Recommended Cleaning

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could
degrade optical properties. Long term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the
surface which may detrimentally affect image quality.

For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a
complete water-tight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than
the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture
beneath panels.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (ID CODE). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number
from 03 to FE. Refer to “Interface Menu” on page 13 for instructions on setting the
unit's ID CODE. The ID CODE of the unit must match the ID CODE specified in the
SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Programming with SIMPL™ Windows” on
page 15 for an example of a SIMPL Windows program.
