Unison Paradigm Touchscreen Rack Panel

Overview

The Unison® Paradigm™ Touchscreen uses a high-resolution, 7”-wide screen, color liquid-crystal
display (LCD) that is bright and easy to read, with controllable back lights. The Touchscreen is installed
in a rack panel, which is shipped separately. The Touchscreen is also available in locking cover and wall
mount configurations. The Touchscreen is powered by either LinkPower and Auxiliary power or PoE
(Power Over Ethernet 802.3af).

• Echelon® LinkPower® (LinkConnect) control network utilizing Belden 8471 (or approved equal) and 24 Vdc
Auxiliary power (two 16 AWG 1.5mm2) wires.

• PoE (Power over Ethernet 802.3af) utilizing Category 5 cable (or approved equal).

All control wiring should be installed and terminated by a qualified installer and should follow standard
wiring installation practices. Leave approximately 10 inches (254mm) of wiring in the backbox for
connection and to allow slack for future service needs. For more information about terminating Cat5
cable, refer to the ETC Ethernet Cat5 Termination Kit Setup Guide.

Step 1: Slide the collar into the rack panel.

Note:

It is important to orient the rack panel with the cutout on the right side to provide better
cable access between the Touchscreen and the Termination PCB. As well the collar
should be installed with the double mounting pin on the top.

Step 2: Install and tighten four M4 x 20mm collar mount screws through the collar into the rack

panel.

Installing the Termination PCB

The printed circuit board (PCB) assembly is designed to accommodate either Ethernet or LON
connections. Prior to installing the PCB, terminate all necessary wiring. The PCB is installed on the
back side of the rack panel.

Paradigm P-LCD Series

CAUTION:

The PCB consists of three parts:

• PCB with female RJ11, LinkPower connector, 24 Vdc (Aux) connector, and ground spade

• RJ45 with punch down wire termination

• Mounting bracket and screws

Only one network type may be connected to the touchscreen. Damage will occur if
both power types, Auxiliary power and PoE, are connected to the Touchscreen.

ETC requires that all backboxes are grounded in accordance with local electrical
codes.

The RJ11 connection must be used to provide a ground connection from the backbox
to the touchscreen even when Ethernet connectivity is used.

Connecting Ethernet

Note:

Connecting LinkPower and Auxiliary Power

Use the provided WAGO CAGE CLAMP® connectors to terminate the wiring to the provided LinkPower
(black and white twisted pair) and Auxiliary power (red and black twisted pair) and ground wire pigtails.
Strip the ends of each wire (both installed control wires and pigtail wires) approximately 3/8” (10mm).

All Ethernet terminations must follow IEEE 802.3 and be terminated to the T568B
standard.

Step 2: Plug the LinkPower connector into the two pin LinkPower receptacle on the termination

PCB.

Step 3: Terminate the installed Auxiliary power wire to the red and black Auxiliary power pigtail

wires. Using two Wago connectors connect the (typically red) installed wire(s) with red
pigtail wire and connect the (typically black) installed wire(s) with black pigtail wire.

Step 4: Plug the Auxiliary power connector into the two pin Aux power receptacle on the

termination PCB.

Installing the Termination PCB to the Rack Panel

Step 1: Position the PCB on the four standoffs on the back of the rack panel and secure with two

M3x10mm pan head screws on the RJ11 side of the PCB only.
