Crestron TPS-XBTP Battery Pack for TPS-XTXRF
Battery Pack for TPS-XTXRF:
TPS-XBTP
Description
Functional Description
The TPS-XBTP Battery Pack for TPS-XTXRF supplies operating power
to a Crestron Isys
TPS-XTXRF Two-Way Radio Frequency (RF) Transceiver Module.
Installation of the module and battery pack into the touchpanel offers
freedom to roam without being confined to a stationary power source.
The TPS-XBTP can be charged when it is mounted on the TPS-XBC
battery charger or installed in a TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel that is
docked to the TPS-XDS docking station.
NOTE: An external power pack or Cresnet
the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel does NOT charge the TPS-XBTP.
NOTE: For related information, consult the TPS-XBC (Doc. 6017) and
TPS-XDS (Doc. 5846) Operations Guides. The latest versions of the
guides can be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of
the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
NOTE: Throughout this operations guide, an Isys tilt touchpanel
equipped with the optional TPS-XTXRF Two-Way RF Transceiver
Module is referred to as “touchpanel” except where noted. For related
information, consult the TPS-XTXRF Operations & Installation Guide
(Doc. 5844). The latest versions of the guides are available from the
Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com).

NOTE: The battery will not charge when hot. To cool the battery, either
turn off power to the Touchpanel by pressing the power down button on
the touchscreen (or use the power down timeout), or remove the battery
from the touchpanel. The battery can also be mounted on the stand-alone
charger to cool and then charge. The charger begins charging the battery
once the battery has cooled.
As of the date of manufacture, the TPS-XBTP has been tested and found
to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC
and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.

Battery Pack for TPS-XTXRF Crestron TPS-XBTP
Handling
WARNING: To prevent short-circuiting, use care when handling the
TPS-XBTP. NiMH cells have extremely low internal resistance and
discharge at high current levels when shorted. As a result, high
temperatures can damage the battery pack and may cause personal injury.
Avoid accidental shorting of the TPS-XBTP electrical contacts from
uninsulated workbenches, tools, bracelets, rings and coins.
WARNING: Because the TPS-XBTP contains toxic material (nickelmetal hydride electrolyte), do not incinerate or damage it. In the event
that the battery electrolyte contacts skin or eyes, immediately flush with
water and consult a doctor.
NOTE: The TPS-XBTP contains NiMH cells. When the battery pack
can no longer retain a charge, it must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Refer to the recycle label on the unit for disposal information.
Storage
The TPS-XBTP can be stored in a temperate dry place indefinitely
without any significant irreversible degradation of its performance. The
self-discharge rate is a function of temperature and internal resistance
(approximately 20% per month). High temperature storage reduces
charge retention. Best results occur if the TPS-XBTP is stored within a
temperature range of -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to +45°C). After an extended
storage, allow the battery pack to obtain room temperature, discharge
fully, and charge to restore full capacity. When storing battery pack for
more than 1-year, charge at least once a year to prevent leakage and
deterioration in performance due to self-discharging.

Crestron TPS-XBTP Battery Pack for TPS-XTXRF
Charging & Discharging
NOTE: Typically, the battery pack is good for 500 charge/discharge
cycles.
Charging
To charge the TPS-XBTP:
• Use the TPS-XBC Battery Charger; or
• Install the TPS-XBTP in a TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel that
is docked to a powered TPS-XDS Docking Station.
NOTE: An external power pack or Cresnet power connected directly to
the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel does NOT charge the TPS-XBTP.
For further information, consult the TPS-XBC Operations Guide (Doc.
6017) and TPS-XDS Operations Guide and (Doc. 5846). The latest
versions of the guides are available from the Downloads | Product
Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
Discharging
Over time, the battery pack may not accept a full charge. If you think that
the touchpanel’s level indicator is inaccurate, you may need to discharge
the battery. For example, the level indicator may read 80%, even though
the charge LED on the TPS-XDS goes out (indicating a full charge). If
this occurs, you need to fully discharge the battery pack. To discharge,
insert the battery pack in an undocked TPS-XTXRF equipped
touchpanel, and allow the touchpanel to remain ON until it no longer
operates and/or the control system power/battery gauge indicates
minimum. This also establishes the gauge minimum level.
NOTE: After fully discharging the battery, fully charge the battery (see
Charging instructions above).
NOTE: The battery pack discharges at a rate of 25% per month when not
used, which may cause an inaccurate reading on the level indicator.

Installation
The TPS-XBTP is designed to prevent improper installation. The unit fits
only one way in the battery compartment of a touchpanel equipped with
the TPS-XTXRF. To install the TPS-XBTP, refer to the following
diagram. Note the bottom-center slot of the TPS-XTXRF and insert the
battery pack in the touchpanel until it snaps in place.
