Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U FlipTop Control Center
FlipTop Touchpanel Control Center: C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U

Introduction

Features and Functions
The C2N-FT-TPS4 and C2N-FT-TPS4-U FlipTop Touchpanel control centers (TPS4) comprise a touchpanel housed in a flip top mechanical enclosure. The only difference between the units is that the TPS4-U (universal) does not contain an AC power outlet. All references to TPS4 apply to both units unless specified otherwise. The TPS4 touchpanel is a compact Crestron 3.6-inch touchpanel that provides user interface to a Crestron® remote control system (Cresnet® system).

graphics, the TPS4 produces astounding 3D graphics, dynamic text, and full-motion animations complete with WAV file audio feedback. Ten programmable pushbuttons are also included featuring translucent buttons with white LED backlighting and an engravable faceplate.
The units support both Cresnet and Ethernet protocols for communication with oth er devices as well as uploading programs and firmware.
An AC power passthrough is provided with the C2N-FT-TPS4 unit only. Both units provide for extensive connectivity through an easy pull-out cable storage mechanism. Eight grommeted holes are provided in the bottom plate, allowing for smooth pass-thru of virtually any type of AV, communication, control, or data cable (cables not included). When not in use, the user end of each cable stows neatly within the FlipTop compartment while excess cable simply drops out-of-sight below the box.
To prevent any inadvertent screen presses, the TPS4 disengages the touchpanel whenever the lid is not fully opened. The TPS4 mounts flush to any tabletop, concealing all cables and connectors, providing a clean professional appearance to any conference room or classroom.
The TPS4 is available in four different models.
