Installation & User’s Manual Vision.net Touchscreens

INSTALLATION AND SET UP

1. Power Requirements

The Vision.net Touchscreen operates on 27VDC. It is powered through the Touchscreen Control PCB (pre- installed
on the back of the touchscreen) via an external AC to DC power supply.

2. Mounting / Installation

Note: The Vision.net Touchscreen Control PCB is a card that connects to the touchscreen to allow VN/485 and RS­232 communications. This card is mandatory for a Vision.net system that is communicating SVN/485 only. The
Touchscreen Control PCB is pre-installed in on the back of the touchscreen.

To install wall-mounted touchsreens:

Step 1. If conduit is required by local code, provide conduit to the back box where the Touchscreen Control PCB is

installed.
Step 2. Install the back box at the desired location.
Step 3. Refer to next section for touchscreen wiring and connections.

3. Wiring and Connections

Connecting Power - Using an External Power Supply

To connect an external power supply (not powering from Vision.net network):

WARNING! Make sure power is disconnected (removed) before connecting power to touchscreen.

Step 1. As shown in Figure 3, at Touchscreen Control PCB make sure jumper at JP1 is on Pins 1 and 2.

Network Connections

Once the wiring is terminated to the Touchscreen Control PCB, proceed to connecting the touchscreen itself.

There are two connection options:

1) Connect the network cable from the RJ-45 port on the touchscreen to “Ethernet out” RJ-45 port on

Touchscreen Control PCB as shown in Figure 7. Connect Ethernet using Belden 1583A cable from the
SNV/IP network on the “Ethernet In” 8-pin connector.

OR

2) Connect a standard CAT5e cable from the SVN/IP network directly to the RJ-45 port on the touchscreen.

Note: The RJ-45 connections on the Control PCB are for convenience wiring only. It is only a pass through and does
not convert SVN/IP to SVN/485 or SVN/485 to SVN/IP. If the ethernet jack is used, a static IP address in the same
range must be configured for the jack to be active.
