The DA-1700CW unlatches the touchpanel 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 of unlatching.
Provisions have also been incorporated to allow the touchpanel to be unlatched
manually.

When not docked in the DA-1700CW, the touchpanel is a handheld, RF, 2-way
wireless transceiver that communicates through an RF transceiver/gateway, (sold
separately) to the Cresnet system. The 2-way communications provide delivery of
commands to the Cresnet system and provide dynamic onscreen feedback for realtime confirmation of commands. Up to 15 touchpanels can communicate with one
gateway.
