Setup
1 In version 1.52.01 of SIMPL Windows, the BB/DA-1550CW symbol is referred to
as the BB-1550CW. Additionally, the input of the symbol is labeled “Unlatch” and
the corresponding output is labeled “Unlock-FB”. SIMPL Windows version prior to
1.52.01 that have a BB-1550CW device should be upgraded to 1.52.01 or later.
Although the functionality of the symbol is identical, later versions have re-named
the device to BB/DA-1550CW, the symbol input changed to “Unlatch” and the
output labeled “Unlatched”.The latest version can be obtained from the Downloads
page (SIMPLWIN Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users
are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.

When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run
and the load factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the load factor of
each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the load factor of
the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply
network port, the load factor of that unit is the load factor of the entire run. The
length of the run in feet and the load factor of the run should be used in the following
resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
R <
40,000
L x LF
Where:
R = Resistance (refer to next table).
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
LF = Load factor of entire run (or chain).
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than
the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the table below.

NOTE: All Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the
+24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y
conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, always twist the ends of the incoming
wire and outgoing wire which share a pin on the network connector. After twisting
the ends, tin the twisted connection with solder. Apply solder only to the ends of the
twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. After
tinning the twisted ends, insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and
tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
Identity Code
Every user interface within the Cresnet system requires a unique network identity
code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number
from 03 to FE. The NET ID of the DA-1550CW must match an ID code specified in
the SIMPL Windows program. The NET ID of the DA-1550CW is factory set to 51.
The NET IDs of multiple DA-1550CWs must be unique and changed from a
personal computer (PC) via VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e) or SIMPL Windows.
NOTE: VT Pro-e is a Windows compatible software package for creating Crestron
touchpanel screen designs.
NOTE: In version 1.52.01 of SIMPL Windows, the BB/DA-1550CW symbol is
referred to as the BB-1550CW. Additionally, the input of the symbol is labeled
“Unlock” and the corresponding output is labeled “Unlock-FB”. SIMPL Windows
version prior to 1.52.01 that have a BB-1550CW device should be upgraded to
1.52.01 or later. Although the functionality of the symbol is identical, later versions
have re-named the device to BB/DA-1550CW, the symbol input changed to
Docking Assembly for STX-1550CW Crestron DA-1550CW
“Unlatch” and the output labeled “Unlatched”. The latest version can be obtained
from the Downloads page (SIMPLWIN Library) of Crestron’s website
(www.crestron.com). New users are required to register in order to obtain access to
the FTP site.
The method for changing the unit’s NET ID is identical regardless of the software
chosen. Attach one of the DA-1550CWs to the control system (verify that the
software is running) and complete the following steps to change the NET ID.
1. Disconnect all Cresnet devices from the control system, except for the
DA-1550CW that needs to have its NET ID changed.
2. Select Tools | Viewport to open the “Crestron Viewport” dialog box.
3. Select Functions | Set Network ID. The software checks the baud rate
and then opens the “Set Network ID” dialog box.
4. In the “Set Network ID” dialog box, select the BB-1550CW from the
Current Network Devices text window.
5. From the Choose the new network ID for the selected device (Hex):
drop-down list, select the new Net ID for the DA-1550CW.

Operation
Example Program
An example program for the DA-1550CW is available from the Downloads page
(EXAMPLES Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). Search for
DA1550CW.ZIP that contains the example program, associated files and a
README.TXT file that describes the program. New users are required to register in
order to obtain access to the FTP site.
The DA-1550CW docks the STX-1550CW touchpanel, provides power and
communication, and recharges the ST-BTP. Operation consists of docking the
touchpanel (performed by hand) into the DA-1550CW or undocking electrically via
the control system and then removing by hand. Provisions have also been
incorporated to allow the touchpanel to be undocked manually.
Normal Operation
Normal operation of the DA-1550CW is described in the next two sections.
Docking the STX-1550CW
Docking of the STX-1550CW is performed by hand by inserting the bottom edge of
the touchpanel into the DA-1550CW and snapping it into place. To dock the
touchpanel, refer to the procedure on the next page.
NOTE: Do not dock the STX-1550CW into the DA-1550CW without the ST-BTP
being installed in the touchpanel. Operating power for the DA-1550CW is supplied
through the electrical contacts of the ST-BTP. If the ST-BTP is not installed, the
DA-1550CW will not electrically unlatch the touchpanel.
Docking Assembly for STX-1550CW Crestron DA-1550CW
Undocking the STX-1550CW
During normal operation, the DA-1550CW unlatches the STX-1550CW electrically
via the control system program. When the touchpanel is unlatched, it snaps outward
slightly, and then may be removed by hand. The control system program defines the
method (i.e., touchpanel button) of unlatching.
NOTE: For further information about the touchpanel and programming the unlatch
method, refer to the latest revision of the STX-1550CW Operations Guide (Doc.
5849). The latest version can be obtained from the Downloads page (MANUAL
Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to
register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
1. Via the touchpanel and/or control system program, unlatch the
touchpanel.
2. Refer to the diagram below. By hand, undock the touchpanel by pulling
the upper edge of the touchpanel outward and remove the touchpanel.
