TPS-XTXRF
Two-Way RF Transceiver Module
NOTE: Commenting out the Cresnet ID of the RF receiver in the SIMPL Windows
program will allow only Cresnet (wired touchpanel) use of the TPS-XTXRF
equipped touchpanel.
To configure a TPS-RFGWX Two-Way RF Transceiver (sold separately), refer to
the latest revision of the TPS-RFGWX Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 5847).
This document can be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of
the Crestron website (www.crestron.com
).
Example Program
The TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel communicates to a TPS-RFGWX Two-Way
RF Transceiver (sold separately) that resides on the Cresnet system. The
TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel and TPS-RFGWX may be programmed similar to
(operating frequencies are not compatible) the STRFGWX Two-Way RF
Transceiver and STX-1550C two-way wireless RF touchpanel. For an example
program, refer to the program for the STX-1550C which is available from the
Crestron FTP site (www.ftp.crestron.com
). Select the Examples folder and search
for STX1550C_*.SMW.
Configuring the Touchpanel for Operation
The touchpanel with the TPS-XTXRF installed can operate as a Cresnet or RF
device. The operation of the touchpanel is determined by the attachment of the
NET/VIDEO cable to the touchpanel. To use the touchpanel as a Cresnet wired unit,
connect the NET/VIDEO cable to the NET/VIDEO port of the touchpanel. To use
the touchpanel as an RF unit, disconnect the cable from the touchpanel. In summary,
the RF-enabled touchpanel can only operate in one mode of operation at a time and
the mode is determined by whether a connection is made at the NET/VIDEO port.
NOTE: If the intent is to use the touchpanel in both modes, Crestron recommends
that the programmer does not comment out the Cresnet ID of the touchpanel in the
SIMPL Windows program. If the ID is commented out, the touchpanel will cease to
operate when the NET/VIDEO cable is connected. Operation can resume when all
power is disconnected and re-applied.
To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to
viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal Cresnet or
RF operation. The next two sections provide details regarding configuration of the
touchpanel for both modes of operation.
Cresnet Configuration
For configuration of the touchpanel with respect to Cresnet mode of operation,
consult the appropriate Isys
TM
tilt touchpanel operations guide. This document can
be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website
(www.crestron.com
). It provides details about setting the Cresnet ID of the
touchpanel as well as setting up the touchpanel for Ethernet or RS-232
communication, displaying computer-generated video format (RGB) and video from
up to two different sources, adjusting audio controls, and selecting personal setting
for screen brightness and timeouts.
