Description

Kit Description

The ST-PK is the Crestron programming kit for the SmarTouch STS. The kit provides
the necessary cables, adapters, and software to successfully design and upload
unique touchpanel projects. Components of the kit are clearly listed, refer to “STS
Equipment” on page 4. The ST-PK can be used time and time again to revise current
touchpanel projects of the SmarTouch STS or to create new ones.

SmarTouch™ STS Description

The SmarTouch STS is a Crestron radio-frequency (RF) wireless control system that
is designed for numerous applications ranging from the boardroom to complete home
automation. Electronic devices or subsystems can be controlled from anywhere via
the wireless user interface. Users are no longer tethered by a wired control panel or
limited to infrared line-of-sight control, as with most ordinary wireless controllers.

There are six SmarTouch STS configurations available. All configurations are
functionally identical except for the touchpanel component which can be grayscale or
color, the type of input power required which can be 120V or 220V, and the
communication frequency. The table shown below provides a breakdown of
SmarTouch STS configurations. For the purpose of this Operations Guide, the term
“SmarTouch STS” is used to describe a SmarTouch configuration and its
components.

Programming Kit Crestron ST-PK

This RF system is primarily comprised of two units, a touchpanel and the control
processor. Refer to the system diagram shown below. The touchpanel is a LCD
interface that communicates via RF signals to the control processor, which is
discretely placed. The control processor interfaces with the controllable electronic
equipment in the system to complete commands without delay.
