Crestron ST-DS Docking Station/Charger

Docking Station/Charger: ST-DS

Description

Functional Description

The ST-DS is a microprocessor-based docking station designed to fast charge the
ST-BTP (rechargeable power pack). A fast charge occurs in one of three possible
configurations and can take between two and three hours (depending on whether the
ST-BTP is fully discharged and the amount of current drawn during the charging
process). Each situation is detailed in “Using the ST-DS to Charge the ST-BTP
(Rechargeable Power Pack)” on page 4.

1. The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP alone.

2. The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP while the rechargeable power pack is

installed in a touchpanel and the touchpanel is not in use.

3. The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP while the rechargeable power pack is

installed in a SmarTouch STS touchpanel and the touchpanel is in use.

NOTE: Configuration 2 and 3 depend on the type of Crestron wireless touchpanel
in use.

A second function of the ST-DS is to preserve the charge of the ST-BTP. As long as
the contacts of the ST-BTP and the ST-DS remain together, the ST-DS “trickle
charges” the ST-BTP in an attempt to maintain the ST-BTP for optimum
performance. The duration of a “trickle charge” is continuous as long as the ST­BTP is not fully charged.

Docking Station/Charger Crestron ST-DS

Physical Description

The ST-DS, shown on the next page, is housed in a black enclosure with silk­screened labels on the front panel and cavity (docking area) of the unit. On the front
panel there are three LEDs for indicating the unit’s current status. The cavity
accommodates either the ST-BTP with optional ST-DS charging guide or, in some
cases, a Crestron wireless touchpanel with ST-BTP installed. The only wired
connection is made to the bottom of the unit. There are four rubber feet on the base
of the ST-DS for stability and to prevent slippage.
