2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel:
STX-1700CXP

Introduction

Functions and Features

The STX-1700CXP is a 2-way wireless radio frequency (RF) compact color

touchpanel that utilizes 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology to provide a user

interface to a Crestron

The “Wi-Fi friendly” touchpanel is a handheld transceiver that communicates

through Crestron’s gateway/transceiver, the TPS-RFGWX (sold separately), to the

Cresnet system. (Refer to “Wi-Fi Technology” and “Gateway Compatibility” on

page 2 for more details.) The 2-way communications provide control of third party

and Cresnet devices and dynamic onscreen feedback for real-time confirmation of

commands. Up to 15 touchpanels can communicate with one TPS-RFGWX. RF

signals can travel from a minimum of three feet up to a maximum between 100 - 200

feet; the range is dependent on location of the touchpanel, the construction of the

building, and obstructions and RF interference from other devices. Location and

antenna orientation of the TPS-RFGWX also are important factors in RF

reception/transmission.

2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel Crestron STX-1700CXP

Included with the STX-1700CXP are a Crestron High Performance Rechargeable

Battery Pack (ST-BTPN) and a Docking Station (ST-DSN) that docks the touchpanel

and/or recharges the ST-BTPN. An external power pack (PW-1215 for domestic use

or PWI-1215 for international use) is also provided to power the touchpanel. Refer to

the latest revisions of the documentation supplied with these items for details.

The touchpanel is also available in an international version, the STXI-1700CXP.

Wi-Fi Technology

Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) is the common term for high-frequency wireless local area

network (WLAN) technology that is gaining acceptance as an alternative to a wired

LAN in commercial as well as home network configurations. Wi-Fi is specified in

the 802.11b specification from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

(IEEE) and is part of a series of wireless specifications together with 802.11,

802.11a, and 802.11g.

The STX-1700CXP touchpanel is not “Wi-Fi compatible.” It does not comply with

the 802.11 specifications, nor can it communicate with 802.11 devices. It is,

however, considered “Wi-Fi friendly,” since you can select a communication band

(frequency range) that will avoid interference with 802.11 devices. The touchpanel’s

transceiver (as well as the gateway’s) allows you to select one of ten possible bands

(0 through 9) for communication. The bands define specific frequency ranges within

the 2.4 GHz Spectrum. The default band (Band 0) covers almost the entire spectrum

and is, therefore, not Wi-Fi friendly. The nine additional bands define narrower

ranges, leaving the rest of the frequency spectrum available for other RF devices,

thus making it possible to avoid interference. Refer to the “ADDITIONAL RF

SETUP” illustration on page 10 for details.

As you configure the touchpanel for operation, you select an RF channel to identify

the gateway that will communicate with the touchpanel. Up to 16 gateways can be

included in one SIMPL program, and up to 15 touchpanels can communicate with

each gateway.

You then select one of the ten frequency bands. Selection of a band is based on a

number of factors, most importantly the need to avoid interference with nearby RF

devices, and compliance with local communication laws. Crestron recommends

using Bands 5 (USA comp 1) through 9 (USA comp 5) within the US. Bands 1

through 4 (France, Spain, Japan, and Canada) are intended for use in Cresnet systems

outside the US.

If you have two or more Crestron wireless RF devices in the Cresnet system, they

should all be set to the same band. If your system includes non-Crestron RF devices,

set the Crestron RF devices to a different band than the non-Crestron devices to

minimize the possibility of interference between them.

Gateway Compatibility

The ability to select frequency bands makes it possible for the STX-1700CXP to

communicate with TPS-RFGWX two-way RF transceivers (gateways) that are Wi-Fi

friendly as well as those that are not. TPS-RFGWX gateways that are Wi-Fi friendly

(include band selection) have product labels that include a seven-digit number

beginning with 600 (e.g., 6002104). Product labels on earlier models of the TPS-

RFGWX gateway (fixed band; not Wi-Fi friendly) include seven-digit alphanumeric

codes beginning with ZA (e.g., ZA11308). Similarly, Wi-Fi friendly TPS-RFGWX

gateways can communicate with touchpanels that are not so enabled as well as those

that are. In either case, in order to communicate, the TPS-RFGWX gateway and

STX-1700CXP touchpanel must be set to the same band and have identical identity

code settings (refer to “Identity Codes” on page 7 for details).

Crestron STX-1700CXP 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel

Identity Codes

The STX-1700CXP touchpanel uses distinct types of identity (ID) codes for
recognition within a Cresnet system: Cresnet identity (NET ID) for instances when
the touchpanel is wired to the Cresnet system, and RF ID for those instances when
the touchpanel communicates with the Cresnet system via the RF gateway. These
codes are assigned to the touchpanel from the SELECT INTERFACE screen when
the unit is configured. Refer to “Select Interface” on page 9. These assignments must
match assignments made in the SIMPL Windows project.

In addition, it is necessary to specify an RF channel and band in order for the
touchpanel and TPS-RFGWX gateway to communicate. These settings, described
briefly below, are assigned via the RF SETUP and ADDITIONAL RF SETUP
screens, shown on pages 9 and 10, respectively.

NET ID

Every equipment and user interface wired to the Cresnet system requires a unique
NET ID. These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to FE. The NET
ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program.
The NET ID is used during uploading of a Crestron VisionTools
(VT Pro-e) project or upgrading the touchpanel firmware.

®

Pro-e

The NET ID is also used when operating the unit as a wired touchpanel.

RF ID

Every STX-1700CXP touchpanel communicating with a Cresnet control system via
a TPS-RFGWX requires a unique RF ID to identify it to the gateway to secure RF
communications. There are 15 useable codes, ranging from 1 to F (hexadecimal
number), to allow for up to 15 touchpanels communicating via a given gateway. The
RF ID of the touchpanel must match the RF ID specified in the SIMPL Windows
program.

NOTE: The RF channel and band selection of the touchpanel must match the
channel ID and band selection of the gateway to have communication. Refer to the
latest version of the TPS-RFGWX Operations Guide (DOC. 5847) for gateway
assignment details.

RF CHANNEL

Each STX-1700CXP touchpanel communicating to the TPS-RFGWX transceiver
must have an RF channel that matches the channel ID of the TPS-RFGWX. There
are 16 possible RF channels ranging from 0 to F (hexadecimal number). Having
multiple channels available allows for multiple gateways, and therefore many
multiple touchpanels, to be used in a given project without signal interference.

The channel ID assignment of the TPS-RFGWX is viewed/changed in the Crestron
Viewport software utility.

Band

The ability to specify one of the ten bands (frequency ranges) designated for
communication within the 2.4 GHz spectrum makes it possible to minimize
interference with other RF devices that may be operating near the Cresnet system.
Refer to the “ADDITIONAL RF SETUP” illustration on page 10 for details.

RF Setup

The RF ID identifies the gateway port that the touchpanel will use for
communication. The RF ID consists of a one-digit hexadecimal number. The
touchpanel can be set to one of fifteen numbers; “1” is shown as an example in the
illustration and is the default. This means that up to fifteen touchpanels can
communicate with a given gateway.

The UP and DOWN buttons increase/decrease the RF ID by one, respectively (i.e.,
1, 2, 3, …F).

The radio frequency channel setting (RF CHANNEL) identifies the particular TPS­RFGWX gateway used for communication with the touchpanel. (Up to sixteen TPS­RFGWX gateways can exist in a SIMPL program.) The RF CHANNEL setting
consists of a one-digit hexadecimal number; “0” is shown as an example in the
illustration on the left and is the default. The UP and DOWN buttons increase and
decrease the RF CHANNEL by one, respectively (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …F). Refer to the
latest revision of the TPS-RFGWX Operation Guide (Doc. 5847) for more

the 802.11b channels within each band that are occupied by the STX-1700CXP.
Selection of a band is based on a number of factors, including the need to avoid
interference with nearby RF devices, and compliance with local communication
laws. In the US, Crestron recommends using Bands 5 (USA comp 1) through 9
(USA comp 5). Bands 1 through 4 (France, Spain, Japan, and Canada) are intended
for use in Cresnet systems outside the US. The default setting is Band 0, USA
(original), which is not Wi-Fi friendly. At this setting, the touchpanel can
communicate with a TPS-RFGWX gateway whether it is Wi-Fi friendly or not, since
Band 0 is the default for both versions of the gateway. Note that the touchpanel and
gateway must be set to the same band in order to communicate.

the STANDBY and POWER DOWN UP and DOWN buttons to set the respective

30 10

timeouts from 0 through 120 minutes, where 0 disables the timeout. It adjusts in one­minute increments from 1 to 10, in ten-minute increments from 20-120.

Use the Standby Now and Power Down Now buttons to immediately enter the
respective mode.

STANDBY timeout turns the display and backlight off when the touchpanel is
inactive for the specified time. When the touchpanel is reactivated, the last screen to
be displayed reappears. The specified time is displayed in minutes. The default
STANDBY timeout is 10 minutes.

POWER DOWN timeout turns off all power when the touchpanel is inactive for the
specified time. When the touchpanel is activated, the first page of the project
appears. The specified time is displayed in minutes. The default POWER DOWN
timeout is 30 minutes. It adjusts in one-minute increments from 1 to 10, in ten­minute increments from 20-120.

NOTE: Power Down Timeout should be set low to maximize battery life. However,
Power Down Timeout should be set greater than Standby Timeout. Otherwise, the
Standby Timeout is meaningless.

NOTE: When the panel is powered down, it will take about 1.5 seconds to power up
and respond to a button press. There is no delay from Standby mode.

NOTE: This touchpanel does not include a built-in option to power up on the last
page viewed prior to power down. To power up on the last page viewed, you must
give the pages discrete join numbers and track them with SIMPL Windows logic.

NOTE: If the external AC power pack is attached to the touchpanel and plugged
into an active AC receptacle or if the touchpanel is resting in the docking station
(ST-DSN) and plugged into an active AC receptacle, the panel does not power down
when the power down timeout is achieved. Recall that the purpose of this timeout is
to maximize battery life. Standby timeout still functions.

Press Return to save the settings and return to the SETUP MENU.

DIAGNOSTICS Menu

DIAGNOSTICS MENU

The Diagnostics button from the MAIN MENU should only be used under
supervision from a Crestron customer service representative during telephone
support. Many options available from the DIAGNOSTICS MENU, shown to the left,
are numeric in nature and their interpretation is beyond the scope of this manual.

General Use and Safety

WARNING: To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use the
touchpanel in the 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. The surrounding plastic
enclosure may not provide a completely watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning
solution to the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen
clean and avoid leakage of moisture beneath panels.

The easiest method of

rogramming, but does not
offer as much flexibility as
SIMPL Windows.

.

You can create a program that allows you to set up the STX-1700CXP to operate a
Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron Application
Builder

™ (AppBuilder) and SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users

with different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is
proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the
more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate
programming using the easiest method (Crestron AppBuilder) and use advanced
techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job.

VT Pro-e is a Windows

®

compatible software package for creating Crestron
touchpanel screen designs. Refer to “Programming with VT Pro-e” on page 18 for
additional details regarding VT Pro-e.

The following are recommended software version requirements for the PC:

• SIMPL Windows version 2.04.14 or later. Requires SIMPL+ Cross
Compiler version 1.1.

• Crestron Database version 15.9.10 or later.

• (Optional) Crestron Application Builder version 1.2.3 or later. Requires

SIMPL Windows.

• VT Pro-e version 3.0.0.8 or later, used for graphical touchscreen design.

• (Optional) Crestron Engraver version 2.1.0.2

Programming with the Crestron AppBuilder

The Crestron AppBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and
commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and
lighting. The interface of this tool guides you through a few basic steps for
designating rooms and specifying the control system, touchpanels, devices, and
functionality. The Crestron AppBuilder then programs the system, including all
touchpanel projects and control system logic.

The Crestron AppBuilder is fully integrated with Crestron's suite of software
development tools, including SIMPL Windows, VT Pro-e, Crestron Database, User
IR Database, and User Modules Directory. The Crestron AppBuilder accesses these
tools behind the scenes, enabling you to easily create robust systems.

Programming with SIMPL Windows

NOTE: The following assumes that the reader has knowledge of SIMPL Windows.
If not, refer to the extensive help information provided with the software.

NOTE: In the following description, the PRO2 control system is used.

NOTE: The STX-1700CXP can operate as a wired panel when set correctly in the

SIMPL program. This is recommended to troubleshoot the program code and to
eliminate wireless/RF configuration issues before running the program in wireless
mode.

SIMPL Windows is Crestron's software for programming Crestron control systems.
It provides a well-designed graphical environment with a number of workspaces
(i.e., windows) in which a programmer can select, configure, program, test, and

monitor a Crestron control system. SIMPL Windows offers drag and drop
functionality in a familiar Windows

®

environment.

This section describes a sample SIMPL Windows program that includes an STX­1700CXP.

Configuration Manager is where programmers “build” a Crestron control system by
selecting hardware from the Device Library. In Configuration Manager, drag the
PRO2 from the Control Systems folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper
pane of the System Views. The PRO2 with its associated communication ports is
displayed in the System Views upper pane.

The System Views lower pane displays the PRO2 system tree (refer to graphic
below). This tree can be expanded to display and configure the communications
ports.

Expanded PRO2 System Tree

C2Net-Device Slot in Configuration Manager

To incorporate an STX-1700CXP into the system, a gateway device is required. The
C2Net-Device Slot can accept a gateway such as the TPS-RFGWX. Once a gateway
is configured in a C2Net-Device Slot, the slot allows Cresnet communication
between the touchpanel and the control system.

In Configuration Manager, drag the TPS-RFGWX gateway from the Wireless
Receivers (RF) folder of the Device Library and drop it in the upper pane of the
System Views. The System Views upper pane displays the TPS-RFGWX device icon
below the PRO2 graphic.

Drag the STX-1700CXP from the Touchpanels (Wireless | Wireless Two-Way)
folder of the Device Library and drop it on the TPS-RFGWX symbol in System
Views. The PRO2 system tree displays the TPS-RFGWX gateway in Slot 9, with a
default NET ID of 52. The TPS-RFGWX displays the touchpanel at the touchpanel’s
default RF ID location, “01,” as shown in the graphic on the next page.

Signal Types

Signals interconnect the various devices and logic symbols that comprise a SIMPL
program. Signals can be one of three types: digital, analog, or serial. For any given
signal, the signal type is determined by its driving source. That is, if the symbol that
drives the signal has an analog output, then, by definition, the signal connected there
will be an analog signal.

In SIMPL Windows, the signal types are color-coded as follows:

Digital = Blue

Analog = Red

Serial = Black

Other = Green

NOTE: “Other” signals are a combination of the three basic types (e.g. many

symbols accept either analog or serial signals where the combination is shown as a
green signal). The signal type is displayed on the Status Bar when the signal is
highlighted.

For additional information, refer to Doc. 6120, Crestron SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide. It
may be downloaded from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Software section of the Crestron
website (www.crestron.com).

Digital Signals

A digital signal contains one bit of information and usually takes on one of two
values: 1 or 0. These two digits can represent the logical values true and false, and
they can be represented in an electronic device by the states on/off or high/low,
recognized as two voltage levels. (Other common descriptors are active/inactive.)

Analog Signals

Unlike digital signals, analog signals can vary continuously in value, in the same
manner as a parameter such as volume, temperature, or pressure. Analog signals
contain 16 bits of information, which means that this type of signal can have values
ranging from 0 to 65535 (2

16 • 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel: STX-1700CXP Operations Guide - DOC. 6144

16

-1). This 16-bit property makes analog signals useful for

Crestron STX-1700CXP 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel

controlling devices that do not have discrete settings, such as volume controllers,
pan/tilt head controllers, and lighting dimmers.

Serial Signals

Serial signals are much like analog signals, in that they, too, contain 16 bits of
information. However, whereas the value of an analog signal is used directly–to
control volume or temperature, for instance–the value of the serial signal is used as a
pointer to a location in memory that contains a string of characters. When a serial
signal is routed to a symbol, that symbol can identify the signal as serial rather than
analog and it will automatically look at the data to which it points.

Thus, serial signals are used to facilitate the transmission of serial data (strings of
characters). These signals can be generated by incoming data on a COM port or by a
symbol that has a serial output.

STX-1700CXP Input/Output Signals

The STX-1700CXP symbol provides up to 4000 digital joins, up to 1024 analog
joins, and up to 127 serial output joins and 255 serial input joins. The programmer
selects the signal types by clicking on the appropriate button at the top of the Symbol
Detail view when programming the panel.

The following tables list functional descriptions for touchpanel outputs and inputs.

Digital Output Signal Descriptions

Device Extenders

Device extenders provide additional logic and functionality to a device. The Poll
Manager and Sleep/Wake Manager symbols are device extenders for touchpanels.
For the STX-1700CXP in wired mode only, the Poll Manager takes the touchpanel
on and off line during polling by the control system. In wireless mode, Sleep/Wake
Manager suspends and restores operation of the touchpanel. For additional
information about Device Extenders, refer to the latest version of the Crestron
SIMPL Windows Symbol Guide (Doc. 6120), or the on-line help included with
SIMPL Windows.

“Quick” Pushbuttons

The STX-1700CXP has ten “quick” pushbuttons, five on each side of the LCD
display. You can use these buttons to access any frequently used commands. Each
button has a permanently fixed digital join number; refer to the illustration shown to
the left. The sequence of digital join numbers is (top to bottom) 1 through 5 on the

6

left side and 6 through 10 on the right side.

7

8

NOTE: A user may not want the LCD display to come on after a pushbutton is

9

pressed when the unit is off. The Startup Preference option allows the user to select

10

whether the touchpanel’s display comes on or stays off after a pushbutton is pressed.
For more information, refer to “Startup Preference” on page 11.

NOTE: To use a quick pushbutton to flip a page (change a screen) on the STX­1700CXP, you would assign the desired button’s digital join number to the page
(Crestron recommends this method) and enable the corresponding feedback from the
control system. Using button 10 as an example, in VT Pro-e you would assign digital

oin number 10 to a page using page properties. In the SIMPL Windows’
Programming Manager view, you would connect the signal at press 10 (output) to
the fb10 (input) of the STX-1700CXP symbol.

NOTE: Assuming that the touchpanel is powered down, pressing a “quick”
pushbutton once “wakes up” the touchpanel but no command is sent. A second
button press sends the command. However, if the touchpanel is actually in standby
mode, the panel is “awake” and the initial button press sends the command.

Programming with VT Pro-e

Control screen variations incorporating two- and three-dimensional graphics and text
are possible and can be created with VT Pro-e, a design and programming
Windows
designed for each application. Each touchpanel can be organized with the ideal,
color-oriented control environment with custom control graphics: icons, two and
three-dimensional buttons, and floor plans. The project is uploaded to the
touchpanel’s flash PROM. The touchpanel uses the project until another is uploaded
from the PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control processor except when
uploading a project.

2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel Crestron STX-1700CXP

Uploading and Upgrading

Assuming a PC is properly connected to the entire system, Crestron programming
software allows the programmer to upload programs and projects after their
development to the system and network devices. However, there are times when the
files for the program and projects are compiled and not uploaded. Instead, compiled
files may be distributed from programmers to installers, from Crestron to dealers,
etc. Even firmware upgrades are available from the Crestron website as new features
are developed after product releases. In those instances, one has the option to upload
via the programming software or to upload and upgrade via the Crestron Viewport.

NOTE: The Crestron Viewport utility performs multiple system tasks, primarily via
an RS-232 or TCP/IP connection between the control system and a PC. It is used to
observe system processes, upload new operating systems and firmware, change
system and network parameters, and communicate with network device consoles and
touchpanels, among many other tasks. Viewport can also function as a terminal
emulator for generic file transfer. All of these functions are accessed through the
commands and options in the Viewport menus. Therefore, for its effectiveness as a
support and diagnostic tool, the Crestron Viewport may be preferred over
development tools when uploading programs and projects.

The following sections define how one would upload a VT Pro-e project or upgrade
the firmware of the STX-1700CXP. However, before attempting to upload or
upgrade, it is necessary to establish communications.

Communication Settings

NOTE: For laptops and other PCs without a built-in RS-232 port, Crestron
recommends the use of PCMCIA cards, rather than USB-to-serial adapters. If a
USB-to-serial adapter must be used, Crestron has tested the following devices with
good results:

Belkin (large model) F5U103
I/O Gear GUC232A
Keyspan USA-19QW

Other models, even from the same manufacturer, may not yield the same results.

The procedure in this section provides details for RS-232 communication between
the PC and the control system. If TCP/IP communication is preferred, consult the
latest version of the Crestron e-Control Reference Guide (Doc. 6052) or the
respective Operations Guide for the control system. These documents are available
from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com). Refer to the figure on the next page for a typical connection
diagram when uploading files.

NOTE: Use a standard DB9 male to female “straight-through” cable.

20 • 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel: STX-1700CXP Operations Guide - DOC. 6144

Crestron STX-1700CXP 2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel

Typical Connection Diagram when Uploading

NOTE: If the control system in use has a 4-pin network connector rather than a
modular (RJ11-type) NET connector, use an ST-CBL interface cable (sold
separately).

NOTE: To make a cable for either configuration, refer to the “Programming Cable
Specifications” diagram after these notes.

NOTE: An adapter such as a CN-RJ11 (sold separately) is required when using the
RJ11 cable.

NOTE: The RJ11 (part of ST-PK) and ST-CBL cables can also be found as part
numbers CNSP-585 and CNSP-586, respectively, in the Crestron cable database. The
database can be downloaded from the Downloads/Software Updates/Cables section
of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com

Problem Solving

Troubleshooting

The table below and continued on the next page provides corrective action for
possible trouble situations. If further assistance is required, please contact a Crestron
customer service representative.

NOTE: To minimize system diagnostics and troubleshooting, Crestron recommends
defining the touchpanel as a wired unit in SIMPL Windows, then test functionality as
a wired network device prior to testing the TPS-XTXRF transceiver operations. This
will help in determining whether there is a programming problem, an RF setting
conflict, or RF interference in the environment.

NOTE: The diagram shown on page 21 is a typical “wired” hookup.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Out of Range Feature

The out of range feature is always active. It is up to the programmer to provide an
indication on the touchpanel.

When the STX-1700CXP is out of range, it displays an out of range indication of
your choice (refer to “Reserved Join Numbers” on page 19), and the touchpanel does
not respond. Also, the TPS-RFGWX’s Tx (transmit) LED will flash every four to
five seconds for approximately 30 seconds and then the LED stops flashing (the unit
stops transmitting if the touchpanel does not come into range in the allotted time). If
the touchpanel comes into range before the TPS-RFGWX stops transmitting, the
display reverts to whatever screen the control system has active. If the touchpanel
comes into range after the TPS-RFGWX stops transmitting, the user must touch the
screen to activate the gateway and leave the out of range screen.

Appendix A: Engraveable Pushbutton Installation

The STX-1700CXP is supplied with ten pushbuttons, pre-labeled with standard
legends. As an option, custom-engraved buttons can be designed and obtained by
using the Crestron Engraver software. Version 2.0.1.5 or later is available from the
Downloads | Software Updates section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com

Perform the following to install engraveable pushbuttons on the STX-1700CXP. A
#1 Phillips screwdriver is required. Refer to the illustration below.

1. Remove the battery, and place the touchpanel face down on a clean work
surface.

2. Remove the four screws securing the front bezel to the base, and return the
unit to its normal position (hold the bezel and the base of the unit together at
the sides while turning it over, to prevent the assembly from falling apart).

3. Lift the bezel from the touchpanel, and remove the pushbuttons being
replaced. Note that the pushbutton sets fit snugly on the membrane switch.
(Refer to the following Notes.)

4. Put the new pushbuttons in place (refer to the following Notes), press firmly
to ensure they are seated, and place the bezel back in position.

).

NOTE: The rear of the pushbuttons are marked TOP 1-5 and 6-10 to ensure correct
orientation when installed. Do not remove the plastic frame connecting the buttons
together.

NOTE: Some touchpanels are supplied without any adhesive holding the membrane
switches is place. For these units, after assembling the new pushbuttons to the
membrane switches, carefully position the switch/pushbutton assemblies on the
printed circuit boards–edges should be aligned, and place the bezel over the
pushbuttons to hold them in place.

5. Hold the bezel in position and turn the unit over on its face.

6. Reinstall the four screws to secure the bezel to the base. Tighten the screws,
being careful not to strip the threads.

7. Reinstall the battery and verify that the pushbuttons function properly.

Appendix B: Optimum RF Reception Guidelines

Many factors can affect the reliability of RF communication between an RF gateway
and an RF touchpanel. While an effort has been made to determine operating
specifications, some specifications are not constant. RF Communication can be
limited by several factors including but not limited to EMI (electromagnetic
interference), intervening objects, antenna orientation and receiver placement. To
obtain maximum reliability and performance, some basic rules for installing RF
transceivers are listed below.

Minimize Interference

RF reception range can be hindered by spurious EMI noise that may interfere with or
mask the desired frequency thereby reducing useable range. EMI is generated by any
electrical device at various RF noise levels depending on the device. Sources of EMI
include computers, video equipment, digital processors, lighting dimmers, lighting
ballasts, motors or any large AC source. Every effort should be made to separate any
RF transceiver from these sources of RF noise including Audio Visual equipment in
racks. If a gateway must be installed in an equipment rack, make sure you have
ample separation between the equipment and the gateway.

NOTE: Check any 802.11b equipment operating near the Cresnet system to see that
it is using only channels that are not being used by the STX-1700CXP touchpanel. If
necessary, change the touchpanel’s band setting to avoid interference. Refer to
“Identity Codes” on page 7 for details.

Gateway Placement

Optimum reception for any RF transceiver is obtained by installing the gateway
transceiver in an open area or shelf with a clear line of sight (no obstructions
between gateway and receiver). Crestron recommends that the gateway is at least
five to six feet high for best results. Avoid placing transceivers or transmitters at a
low height or on the ground. Placing RF equipment near metal objects, walls, corners
or metal enclosures will compromise RF propagation and reception. Try to avoid
installing gateways in equipment racks, service rooms, electrical closets or in rooms
other than that which the panel or transmitter is located.

Antenna Orientation

The antenna orientation on Crestron gateways has considerable effect on range and
reliability. Optimum performance is obtained by setting the antenna horizontally
(parallel to the ground). When absolutely necessary, two alternate orientations are
possible – each will be less effective than the horizontal orientation:

 Point the antenna vertically

 Point the antenna at a right angle to the gateway.

These may allow for rack or equipment closet doors to be shut but these orientations
may also compromise reception. Never point the antenna downward or directly
parallel to the front panel, this will decrease range and reliability. Refer to
illustrations on the next page for examples of the different antenna orientations.

NOTE: RF propagation is best from the sides of the antenna.
