Unison Paradigm Wall Mount Touchscreen

Overview

The Unison® Paradigm™ Wall Mount 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 flush mount backbox or a surface backbox, which is shipped separately.
The Touchscreen is also available in rack mount and locking cover configurations. The Touchscreen is
powered by either LinkPower and Auxiliary power or PoE (Power over Ethernet 802.3af).

®

• Echelon
and 24 Vdc Auxiliary power (two 16 AWG 1.5mm

• 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.

Installing the Backbox

Installation should follow local codes and standard practices. Ensure that the backbox is clean and free
of obstructions. Ensure that all wiring is installed correctly. The touchscreen is supplied with an
installation kit which includes hardware and electrical supplies for most applications.

The hole in the wall should be cut carefully so there are no gaps around the box. The installation kit
includes two lengths of screws for depth adjustment and screws for securing the collar.

Note:

A special trim ring is available to cover any excess rough-in gap. Contact ETC or
your ETC Dealer for availability.

Step 1: For flush mount applications, thread the four M3 depth adjustment screws into the collar.
Step 2: Insert the collar so that the Touchscreen mounting pins are at the top.
Step 3: For flush mount, adjust the depth adjustment screws (if required) so that the cover is even

against the wall surface.

Step 4: Install and tighten the four M4 mounting screws through the collar into the backbox.

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.

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, not both. Damage may
occur if both power types, Auxiliary Power and PoE, are connected to the
touchscreen. ETC requires that all back boxes be grounded in accordance with local
electrical codes. The RJ11 connection must be used to provide a ground connection
from the back box to the touchscreen even when Ethernet connectivity is used.

Note:

Step 1: Terminate the network wiring in the RJ45 punch down strip using a standard 110 punch

Step 2: Snap the connector into the bracket.

standard.

down tool (not provided). Reference the connector label for the CAT5e wire termination
color code. The punch down connector provides insulation displacement. Do not pre-strip
wire.

Connecting LinkPower and Auxiliary Power

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

Step 1: Terminate the installed LinkPower wiring to the white and black LinkPower pigtail. Using

two Wago connectors connect (typically white) installed wire(s) with white pigtail wire and
connect the (typically black) installed wire(s) with black pigtail wire as shown below.

Step 2: Plug the LinkPower connector into the 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 as

shown above.
Step 4: Plug the Auxiliary power connector into the Aux power receptacle on the termination PCB.
Step 5: A ground connection is required for all Touchscreen assemblies. If the backbox is not

already grounded, attach the ground wire to the ground spade on the PCB.

Installing the Termination PCB in the Backbox

Step 1: Position the termination PCB on the four standoffs in the backbox and secure with two

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

Note:

Step 2: Place the bracket and RJ45 assembly (if used) on top of the PCB. Secure the PCB to the

Installing the Touchscreen

The Touchscreen bracket is designed for two positions, service and operation. When installed so that
the pins are in the first slots on the bracket, the Touchscreen is held out at the bottom for service.

Step 1: Install the RJ11 control cable provided in the installation kit to the RJ11 jack on the PCB.

Also attach the RJ45 control cable if PoE will be used for communication and power.

Indicators

After the Touchscreen has been powered up, the appropriate LEDs on the service panel on the bottom
of the Touchscreen illuminate. The LCD displays a startup screen a few seconds after booting. For
information about using the service panel, refer to the Unison Paradigm Control Designer Configuration
Guide or Online Help System.
