Crestron STX-1550CW Wall Mount 2-Way RF Compact Color Touchpanel
Wall Mount 2-Way RF Compact
Color Touchpanel: STX-1550CW
Description
Functional Description
The STX-1550CW is a 2-way radio frequency (RF) compact color SmarTouch
touchpanel that, when used with the BB-1550CW back box and DA-1550CW
docking assembly, is wall mounted and provides a user interface to a Crestron
remote control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet system). While the
touchpanel is docked, the DA-1550CW provides operating power, hard-wire
communications with standard Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as
the Cresnet system), and recharges the Crestron High Performance Rechargeable
Power Pack (ST-BTP) of the touchpanel.
The STX-1550CW touchpanel offers:
• 256 color display
• pop-up subpages to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance
• multiple button and icon configurations
• up to 999 functions and 96 screens
• imported photographs, drawings, and icons
• support for downloadable fonts, proportional and non-proportional
• foreign language text
When not docked in the DA-1550CW, the touchpanel is a handheld, long range, RF,
2-way wireless transceiver that communicates through a RF transceiver/gateway,
STRFGWX (sold separately) to the Cresnet system. The 2-way communications
provide delivery of commands to the Cresnet system and provide dynamic onscreen
feedback for real-time confirmation of commands. Up to 15 touchpanels can
communicate with one STRFGWX. The RF signals can travel from a minimum of
three feet up to a maximum of 150 feet. The location of the STRFGWX and the
orientation of the antenna are important factors in the RF performance.

Physical Description
The touch-sensitive viewing screen is located on the top of each touchpanel. The
electronic hardware is housed in a high impact, black molded plastic enclosure. As
shown below, connectors to upload touchscreen projects via a personal computer (PC)
and to power the unit using the external AC power pack (and simultaneously tricklecharge the ST-BTP) are located on the left and right sides of the unit, respectively.

At the underside of the unit is a docking plate and the power pack/battery
compartment that holds one ST-BTP. Electrical contacts for the DA-1550CW are
through the underside of the unit. There are also four rubber feet on the underside for
stability and to prevent slippage.
Software
The STX-1550CW is supported by the VisionTools™ Pro-e (VT Pro-e) SmarTouch
Wizard that automatically configures the entire system and the touchpanel pages. VT
Pro-e, a design and programming Windows®-based software, permits the creation of
unlimited 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
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 Cresnet 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, refer to the help file provided with the software.
A copy of the software can be obtained from the Downloads page (TOUCHPNL
Library) of Crestron’s website (www.crestron.com). New users are required to
register in order to obtain access to the FTP site. A tutorial is provided as a guide for
the novice programmer.

1 The location of the STRFGWX and the orientation of the antenna are important factors in
the RF performance. Locate the unit outside of any metal enclosures and position the
antenna horizontally, pointing straight out of the unit. Adjust the antenna to achieve the
best range. The range of the unit is also dependent on its placement and the construction
of the building that it is used in.

4 The weight listed is for the touchpanel only and does not include the BB-1550CW back box,
As of the date of manufacture, the unit has been tested and found to comply with
specifications for CE marking.
NOTE: Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
DA-1550CW docking assembly, ST-BTP, or AC power pack.
n Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
n Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
n Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
n Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
General Use and Safety
WARNING: To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use
touchpanel in rain or expose it to unnecessary moisture.
Recommended Touchpanel 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. Surrounding plastic enclosure
may not provide a complete water-tight 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.
Applying Power
The touchpanel can be powered via the DA-1550CW while docked, the ST-BTP, or
external AC power pack. Each of these items has their own Operations Guides which
details proper usage. Refer to the table on the next page for the required document.
