Preparation for Use
The ST-CP provides two roles as an integral part of the SmarTouch STS. First, it
stores the project programmed with SmarTouch software via the PC. It also receives
RF signals from the user interface and transmits commands to A/V equipment or
peripheral pieces of SmarTouch equipment, during normal operation. The following
paragraphs detail the connections that must be made to the ST-CP in each role.
Programming
When programming, refer to figure that follows this paragraph for a typical
connection diagram. Complete the following steps in the order provided to ensure
proper connection.
NOTE: The PC to control processor and touchpanel to control processor cables only
need to be attached when programming.
NOTE: The procedure that follows assumes that a touchpanel is being used as the
user interface. No connections to the user interface need to be made, if a wireless
1. Attach the RJ11 to DB9F adapter (15556, supplied with ST-PK) to one
end of the PC to control processor cable (15717, supplied with ST-PK).
2. Attach the DB9 connector (of the adapter and cable combination) to the
RS-232 port on the PC.
3. Attach the RJ11 connector (of the adapter and cable combination) to
the ST-CP port, labeled PC.
4. Attach the 3.5 mm stereo connector of the touchpanel to control
processor cable (15710, supplied with ST-PK) to the touchpanel.
5. Attach the RJ11 connector of the touchpanel to control processor cable
to the ST-CP port, labeled NET.
6. Attach the 500 mA power pack to ST-CP (1000 mA power pack for
ST-CP/UK) and insert plug into outlet.
7. The touchpanel should either receive power from the supplied power
pack or an internal battery.
In the event that the two cables and adapter required to download a program from the
control processor to the touchpanel are lost or not acquired via the purchase of the
ST-PK, the following two diagrams are provided so that the cables can be made on
site.
When operating the ST-CP under normal conditions, refer to figure shown below for
a typical connection diagram. Complete the following steps in the order provided to
ensure proper connection of the system. It is assumed that the SmarTouch STS is
currently connected for programming.

1. Completely disconnect touchpanel to control processor cable (15710).
2. Completely disconnect PC to control processor cable (15717) and RJ11
to DB9F adapter (15556).
3. Attach supplied antenna to BNC connector labeled RF on the back of
the ST-CP.
4. Insert the mono mini plug of the STIRP into one of the four IR OUT
ports of the ST-CP. Identifying the correct IR OUT port depends on the
designations made when programming. In the illustration provided, it is
assumed that the VCR is assigned to PORT A. Refer to the latest
revision of the STIRP Installation Instructions (Doc. 5674) for details
to attach the STIRP to IR sensor windows.
5. Repeat previous step, as necessary.

placed properly.
Used wrong IR or serial
port.
Wrong manufacturer or
model number listed in
SmarTouch system.

verify that each button that is suppose to
control the device has a join number and the
command associated with it lists
"SEND<device name> <function name>"
(e.g., SEND LIV_RM_VCR PLAY).
Download the touchpanel screens again.
