Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U FlipTop Control Center FlipTop Touchpanel Control Center: C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U Introduction Features and Functions The C2N-FT-TPS4 and C2N-FT-TPS4-U FlipTop Touchpanel control centers (TPS4) comprise a touchpanel housed in a flip top mechanical enclosure. The only difference between the units is that the TPS4-U (universal) does not contain an AC power outlet. All references to TPS4 apply to both units unless specified otherwise. The TPS4 touchpanel is a compact Crestron 3.

You can create a program that allows you to include the TPS4 in a Crestron control system. The program output of Crestron SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and templates. Therefore, extending the capabilities of the system is very easy.
Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U FlipTop Touchpanel Control Center Programming with SystemBuilder The easiest method of programming, but does not offer as much flexibility as SIMPL Windows. Crestron SystemBuilder offers automatic programming for such residential and commercial applications as audio distribution, home theater, video conferencing, and lighting.

Crestron C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U FlipTop Touchpanel Control Center “Device Settings” Window NOTE: This procedure sets the Net ID for the TPS4 in the program only. It does not automatically set the Net ID for the C2N-FT-TPS4/TPS4-U hardware. SIMPL Windows automatically changes Net ID values of a device added to a program if a duplicate device or a device with the same Net ID already exists in the program. Always ensure that the hardware and software settings of the Net ID match.
