TPS-4L Physical Dimensions
Controls and Ports
Buttons
The TPS-4L touchpanel has 10 hard buttons; five on each side of the display.
The buttons are backlit with white LEDs; brightness is program adjustable. The
buttons can be programmed to automate frequently used functions.
NET
This 4-pin terminal block connector provides communication with and power
from a Cresnet control network. For more information, refer to “Network
Wiring” on page 6.
Pins 24 and G provide 24 VDC and ground; pins Y and Z provi de
communications (data). Note that the connector pin identification is printed on
the unit label above it.
Reset
A hardware reset button is located behind the bezel as shown in the following
graphic. This button is used as a last resort to reboot the touchpanel (similar to
cycling power) in the unlikely event that the touchpanel hangs up.

Reset
Button
To access the reset button, remove the bezel and then use a narrow blunt instrument
such as the end of a ballpoint pen to press the button.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to press the reset button by inserting a paperclip or
similar device through the small hole in the bezel. This could cause physical damage
to the button or a short circuit on the printed circuit board.

Compliance Labelling.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Setup
Network Wiring
CAUTION: In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your
installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire, and only Crestron Certified Wire, may
be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if support is required to
identify performance deficiencies as a result of using improper wire.
CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to
do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.
CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to
unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power
Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system
(http://www.crestron.com/calculators
When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire gauge and
the 84000-56z Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connecte d must be
taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If Cresnet units are to be
daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each netw or k u nit to be daisychained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire
chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port,
the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The
wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following
equation to calculate the cable length value on the equation’s left side.
).
Cable Length Equation
40,000
Where:
L <
R x P
Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the right side of
the equation. For example, a Cresnet run drawing 20 watts should not have a length
of run more than 333 feet.
NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One
twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted
pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to
avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on
the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply so lder only to the ends
of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.
Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining
screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 net wor k d e vi ces), it m a y become
necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality
throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be
necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM
P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).

))
Identity Code
Every piece of equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique
identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to
Crestron Isys® TPS-4L 3.6-inch Wall Mount Touchpanel
FE (Net ID 02 is reserved for master control units). The Net IDs reside within all
Cresnet devices (hardware) and must match the Net ID as specified in the software
(SIMPL Windows) that runs the system. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device
Settings” on page 19 for details of the SIMPL Windows procedure.
The Net ID of the TPS-4L has been factory set to 03. The Net IDs of multiple
TPS-4Ls in the same system must be unique. Net IDs can be changed from a
personal computer (PC) using Crestron SystemBuilder
through the device SETUP MENU as described on page 14.
NOTE: For detailed information on establishing communication between the PC and
control system, refer to “Establishing Communications” on page 20. If
communication cannot be established, refer to the “Troubleshooting
Communications” section in the latest version of the 2-Series Control System
Reference Guide (Doc. 6256), which is available from the Crestron website
(http://www.crestron.com/manuals).
The Crestron Toolbox provides several methods to easily set or change device Net
IDs for any device on the network. The following method permits you to change the
Net ID of any device in the network through the “Network Device Tree” window.
NOTE: This method prevents you from setting duplicate IDs.
This method permits you to manually set the Net ID for any device in the network,
can be used to set any known Net IDs that may require changing, and may also be
used for non-TSID equipment. This method will not permit you to choose an ID
already in use by another device. A warning message will appear if you attempt to
use an ID that is already in use.
™
or Crestron Toolbox, or
Duplicate Net ID Warning Message
This method does not change the Net ID as assigned in SIMPL windows. Refer to
page 19 for the SIMPL Windows ID change procedure.
NOTE: You may also use Crestron SystemBuilder to perform Network ID setup.
1. Ensure that all network devices are connected to the control system.
2. Open Crestron Toolbox and establish communications (refer to page 20).

Touchpanel Mounting
Physical installation of the TPS-4L includes mounting the unit to the wall and
installing an engraved touchpanel bezel. The only tools required for the procedures
presented here are masking tape (or equivalent), a gypsum board saw (or equivalent),
and a #2 Phillips tip screwdriver. The following procedures are based on the use of
the supplied screws and clips for post-construction installation.
Mounting to the Wall
The TPS-4L is designed to be mounted in a wall or lectern. Two overlay cutout
templates (0V40078) are supplied. One is in the shape of the required opening; the
other is similar to a frame, with the inner area of the frame the shape of the required
opening. (Refer to the following diagrams.) Use the template that is most convenient.
