4 Russound TS3 Installation Manual
The TS3 Touchscreen is a full-featured color touchscreen that
provides a powerful user interface for Russound's C-Series
multiroom audio systems. The user can easily access, control
and enjoy music from anywhere in the home. Housed in an
attractive bezel, the TS3 features beautifully rendered screens
and elegantly simple displays.
The TS3 offers touch-sensitive screen templates for defined
source controls, with audible feedback and a detailed display
of source functions. It also features responsive hard buttons for
most-often used commands and a front IR receiver that can be
disabled.
The TS3 is designed for use with C-Series controllers and works
with Russound sources, including the DMS-3.1 Media Streamer,
SMS3 Smart Media Server, iBridge® Dock and Bay, ST1 and ST2
tuners, and legacy (IR controlled) sources. The touchscreen
displays valuable information such as Channel, Artist, Song Title,
Genre and more, all in real time. It supports custom names for
presets, banks, themes and favorites for a truly personal touch.
The TS3 makes a great addition to an installed RNET system, as it
can be installed into an existing double-gang junction box.
Most of the controller, zone audio and source setup functions
are performed through SCS-C5 programming software; however,
a few steps are completed through the TS3 menus such as
alarms, setting time and date, keypad brightness, and adjusting
room audio properties.

The TS3 is an in-wall touchscreen. For installation, you will need
a UL/CSA approved plastic 32ci double-gang electrical box.
Notice the minimum clearance around the electrical box
required for the bezel. This is larger than a typical light switch
cover, so additional space may be necessary. The diagram at
right provides measurements of a standard 2-gang wallplate
and of the TS3 bezel.
For best viewing and usage, the TS3 should be mounted at
thermostat height, or about 59” from the oor.
DTS-1 Keypad Desktop Stand enables placement on nightstand, counter or desk - sold separately.

After the touchscreen location is selected and the wall box is
temporarily in place, route CAT-5e cable to the wall box from
the controller. There should be not more than 250 feet of CAT-5e
cable between the touchscreen and the controller.
Terminate the CAT-5e cable with an RJ-45 connector, using the
T568A wiring standard. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the jack
marked “Controller” on the back of the touchscreen.
Mount the touchscreen in the electrical box and attach
the cover plate. Repeat the steps until all touchscreens are
installed.
Touchscreen Bezel Removal
To remove the bezel from the front of an installed touchscreen,
you will need a at screwdriver. Place the screwdriver blade in
the slot between the bezel and the molding, located below the
“R” on the bottom edge of the bezel. Twist the blade until a loud
click is heard; this sound is the bezel locking tabs releasing from
the frame catch.
The bezel can now be lifted from the touchscreen. To replace
the bezel, center it over the front of the touchscreen and press
rmly until the bezel clicks into place.
