SmarTouch™ Control Processor:
ST-CP

Description

Functional Description

The SmarTouch control processor, part of the SmarTouch STS/STSI, interfaces with

almost all electronic equipment for complete control commands without delay. The

control processor should be located in an area near the A/V equipment that needs to

be controlled. It plays a vital role during programming and operation. The control

processor is hard wired to the user interface and PC when programming. During

operation, it receives RF signals from user interfaces. It then sends the commands to

the appropriate device.

There are two control processor configurations available. Configuration selection is

based on the type of power availability and the communication frequency. Use the

ST-CP with a 120V power supply and a transmission frequency of 433.92 MHz. Use

the ST-CP/UK with a 220V power supply and a transmission frequency of 418 MHz.

For purposes of this Operations Guide, the term ST-CP is used for either

configuration.
