SmarTouch STS
SmarTouch STS Description
Functional Description
The SmarTouch STS touchpanels are Crestron’s six inch touchscreen control panels
that can be used in either a Cresnet remote control system or as part of the
SmarTouch STS. These touchpanels provide a means of user interface via one-way
RF communication. The type of system employed determines the type of receiver.
There are six SmarTouch STS configurations available. Three offer 256 color
display and are denoted with the suffix “-C”. The three other offer four shades of
grayscale display. Another primary difference between the configurations is the type
of power availability, 120V versus 220V, and the transmission frequency. The table
below provides a breakdown of all six configurations.

Since the touchpanel is the only user interface device in the SmarTouch STS, the
bulk of this guide’s content concentrates on this component. The touchpanel
component of the SmarTouch STS is capable of replacing large, complicated panels
with a series of simpler screens, each specific to the control problem at hand. Thus
very large numbers of functions can be made available to the user without the
confusion associated with hardware panels of that complexity. The touchpanel icons,
graphics, and text can dramatically increase any user’s comprehension of the control
environment. Devices, functions, and control zones are quickly organized and more
easily accessed. The touchpanel offers:
• 256 color display or four shades of grayscale display
• pop-up subpages to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance
