Overview

The Paradigm P-TS7 portables offer a flexible method of controlling your Paradigm lighting
system. Two versions are available, each with a different mode of connectivity: Ethernet (P-TS7­PE) and LON (P-TS7-P). The display interface for these models can be designed to your specific
system using ControlDesigner™.

Connect P-TS7-PE with Ethernet

Step 1: Swing the cover completely around the unit to create a tabletop stand.

Step 2: Connect the Ethercon end of the cable to the matching port on the rear of the

touchscreen.

Step 3: Connect the RJ-45 end of the cable to a Power-over -Ethernet net work port for your

Paradigm control system.

Step 4: Manually set the unit’s IP address:

a: Select the “Network” tab. A keypad will appear.
b: Enter the 4-digit system passcode and press [Enter]. If you do not know the

passcode, contact ETC T echnical Services to obtain it. The Network screen will be
displayed.

c: Select the “IP Address” field and enter an appropriate address for your system

network parameters.

Step 5: If the bind process is complete (see page 2) and the unit possesses the configuration

and theme files, the device will boot and be ready to use.

Step 6: Use the controls on the display to access the lighting system.

Connect P-TS7-P with LON

Step 1: Swing the cover completely around the unit to create a tabletop stand.
Step 2: Connect the touchscreen cable to a Unison receptacle station (UH1RS).If the bind

process is complete and the unit possesses the config and theme files, the device will
boot and be ready to use.

Step 3: Use the controls on the display to access the lighting system.

Note:

The Ethernet version of P-TS7 has a detachable cable with an RJ-45 connector
at one end and an Ethercon connector on the other.

more time.

Bind the P-TS7-P/PE

Before binding your P-TS7 Portable, please confirm you have met the following requirements:

• The touchscreen has been added to the configured space in LightDesigner.

• The Light designer configuration has been uploaded to the Paradigm ACP( s). Reference the
LightDesigner online help system for details on uploading a configuration.

Additional binding requirements for LonConnect Model only

• The UH1RS receptacle station has been added to the configured space in LightDesigner.

• The P-TS7-P must be enabled for use with the specific receptacle station. This is set in the
“Portable” property of the LightDesigner Property Editor for the Touchscreen. You can
enable a P-TS7-P on more than one receptacle station in a configuration. The displayed
configuration and theme may be dif ferent for each configured touchscreen and recept acle
station depending on the assignments in the configured space.

• The receptacle station’s physical ID (listed on a label found on the front of the station,
beneath the faceplate) must be associated with the configured re ceptacle station in
LightDesigner. This ID should be manually entered into the “Connector ROM” property in
the LightDesigner Property Editor for that station. This is the recommended method to avoid
manual binding at the Paradigm processor.

• The LightDesigner configuration has been uploaded to the P aradigm ACP(s). Refere nce the
LightDesigner online help system for details on uploading a configuration.

To bind your P-TS7-P or PE:

Step 1: Physically connect the Portable Touchscreen to the receptacle station (UH1RS) or

Ethernet port (depending on model).

Step 2: At the Paradigm processor face panel, press enter

 to access the menu.

Step 3: Navigate to the Arch Setup>LonWorks Connections menu and bind the T ouchscreen

station using the “Connect Device” option. Reference the Paradigm ACP
Configuration manual for complete details on connecting a device.

Configuration and Theme Files

Exporting Files from LightDesigner

This procedure is recommended to speed loading of files onto LON touchscreens. Ethernet
touchscreens can retrieve the files quickly over Ethernet.

Step 1: From the LightDesigner configuration, select (File) “Export Portable LCD Files”. The

“Export Portable LCD Files” dialog will be displayed.

Step 2: Select which Portable LCD files will be exported from the selection and click [OK].

The “Browse For Folder” dialog displays for selection of a location the files will be
exported to, such as a removable USB device. Two file types will be exported, the
configuration file saves with a “.lcdconf” extension and the theme saves with a
“.lcdtheme” extension.

Note:

Startup will take a minimum of 20 seconds. Larger configurations will require
more time.

If the receptacle station’s physical ID is associated in the Paradigm
configuration, the P-TS7-P will automatically bind on startup. If you receive a
“No Response from Server” message, proceed to Step 2.

Note:

It is best to store the configuration and theme files to removable media for
loading to the Touchscreen.
