Controls and Ports

Buttons

The TPS-4L touchpanel has 10 hard buttons; five on each side of the display. The buttons are backlit with white LEDs; brightness is program adjustable. The buttons can be programmed to automate frequently used functions.

NET

This 4-pin terminal block connector provides communication with and power from a Cresnet control network. For more information, refer to “Network Wiring” on page 6.

Pins 24 and G provide 24 VDC and ground; pins Y and Z provide communications (data). Note that the connector pin identification is printed on the unit label above it.

Reset

A hardware reset button is located behind the bezel as shown in the following graphic. This button is used as a last resort to reboot the touchpanel (similar to cycling power) in the unlikely event that the touchpanel hangs up.

To access the reset button, remove the bezel and then use a narrow blunt instrument such as the end of a ballpoint pen to press the button.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to press the reset button by inserting a paperclip or similar device through the small hole in the bezel. This could cause physical damage to the button or a short circuit on the printed circuit board.

LAN

An 8-wire RJ-45 connector with two LED indicators (green LED indicates link status, yellow LED indicates Ethernet activity). This connector provides an Ethernet 10baseT /100baseTX, full duplex, TCP/IP, UDP/IP, CIP, IEEE 802.3U compliant network connection for the TPS-4L touchpanel.

NOTE: This port does not support a wireless Ethernet connection.

Setup

Network Wiring

CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system (http://www.crestron.com/calculators).

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and the 84000-56z Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

L <	40,000	Where: L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
L <	R x P	R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM2))
	R x P	P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run drawing 20 watts should not have a length of run more than 333 feet.

NOTE: All Crestron certified 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, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.

Identity Code

Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to

Crestron Isys® TPS-4L

3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel

FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs reside within all Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as specified in the software (SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 19 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.

The Net ID of the TPS-4L has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple TPS-4Ls in the same system must be unique. Net IDs can be changed from a personal computer (PC) using Crestron SystemBuilder™ or Crestron Toolbox, or through the device SETUP MENU as described on page 14.

NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and control system, refer to “Establishing Communications” on page 20. If communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting Communications” section in the latest version of the 2-Series Control System Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website (http://www.crestron.com/manuals).

The Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net

IDs for any device on the network. The following method permits you to change the

Net ID of any device in the network through the “Network Device Tree” window.

NOTE: This method prevents you from setting duplicate IDs.

This method permits you to manually set the Net ID for any device in the network, can be used to set any known Net IDs that may require changing, and may also be used for non-TSID equipment. This method will not permit you to choose an ID already in use by another device. A warning message will appear if you attempt to use an ID that is already in use.

Duplicate Net ID Warning Message

This method does not change the Net ID as assigned in SIMPL windows. Refer to page 19 for the SIMPL Windows ID change procedure.

NOTE: You may also use Crestron SystemBuilder to perform Network ID setup.

1.Ensure that all network devices are connected to the control system.

2.Open Crestron Toolbox and establish communications (refer to page 20).

3.Select the Network Device Tree icon, or select Tools | Network Device Tree. (Refer to the following figure.)
