Series 1600 Wired Touchpanels
Description
Functional Description
The Series 1600 Touchpanels are 5.7-inch (14.4-cm) touchscreen control panels for
any Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the control system). There
are six Series 1600 models available. Options are color versus grayscale, adjustable
tiltcase versus lectern/wall mount, and “Designer Series” color cover. Model
selection is based on application requirements. Refer to "Model Differences" on page
3 for a more detailed description of each.
The purpose of the Series 1600 Touchpanel is to replace 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 1600'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 1600 Touchpanels offer:
• 256 color passive matrix display (color models only)
• 4 shades of grayscale FSTN transmissive mode display (grayscale
models only)
• 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
• fast graphics performance: imported photographs, drawings, and icons
• support for downloadable fonts - proportional and non-proportional
• foreign language text
• Position Lock feature provides durable support of panel at any angle of
inclination between 0 and 70 degrees (tiltcase model only).

Software
Series 1600 color models have
one 256-color palette. Therefore,
all custom colors are mapped to
the nearest color in the standard
alette, such that colors from the
custom color dialog box may not be
exactly represented. If the precise
shade is not immediately achieved,
the solution is to experiment with
a slightly different color from the
custom color dialog box in VT
Pro-e.
Hand Position for Tilting
Touchpanel to Vertical
VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e), a design and programming Windows-based
software, permits the creation of 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 1600 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.
VT Pro-e also allows users the option to generate projects destined for web browsers
rather than for physical touchpanels. For additional software information, consult the
VT Pro-e help file.
Position Lock Button
The position lock button is centrally located at the front of the base on the Series
1600 adjustable tiltcase model. 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.
Hand Position for Tilting
Touchpanel to Horizontal
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 to the left. The touchscreen is now
set into user position.
Once in user position, the position lock button is activated which means the
touchscreen can not be forced to the horizontal position without first depressing the
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 to the left.
Physical Description
Tiltcase Model
The 5.7-inch (14.4-cm) touch sensitive viewing screen is located on the front of each
Series 1600 Touchpanel. The electronic hardware is housed in a high impact, black
molded plastic enclosure for the adjustable tiltcase configurations, shown after this
paragraph. These tiltcase touchpanels are designed to be placed on a counter and
possess 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 cable with a four-pin network connector at its end is attached to the base
of the CT-1600 or LC-1600. Connect the cable directly to the control system.

Model Differences
There are six Series 1600 models available and selection depends on type of
installation (color versus grayscale, adjustable tiltcase versus lectern/wall mount, and
“Designer Series” color cover). The prefix and suffix define a model. Refer to the
table after this paragraph for a concise listing of Series 1600 touchpanel models.

Installation/Setup
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (NET ID). A two-digit hexadecimal number from 03 to FE is representative of
these codes. Refer to "Setup Menu" on page 9 for instructions on setting the unit's
NET ID. The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program. Refer to "SIMPL™ Windows
sample.
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 watertight 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.

Network Wiring
NOTE: When making four-wire network connections, refer to the latest revision of
the Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be
obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL Libraries) of the
Crestron website (www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files.
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular network run, the length of the run
and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into
consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor
of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the
power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power 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
40,000
Where:
R <
L x PF
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 after this paragraph.
