1. The latest versions can be obtained from the Crestron website. Refer to NOTE after last footnote.

2. Crestron 2-Series control systems include the AV2 and PRO2. Consult the latest Crestron Product

Catalog for a complete list of 2-Series control systems.

3. CNX update files are required for either CNMSX-AV/PRO or CNRACKX/-DP. Filenames for CNX

update files have a UPZ extension and ST-CP files are in one EXE or zipped UPZ file. To avoid

program problems, make certain you are using the update file with the correct suffix (e.g., S, V, W, X).

4. Extension requires a prefix specific to the touchpanel type. In DETAILS, projectname represents the

assigned project name, and vx.xxx.x. represents a version number.

5. Use VT Pro-e to check program size prior to upload to avoid storage capacity problems.

Physical Description

The touchpanel viewing screen has a 5.7-inch (14.48 cm) active matrix color display

panel with 320 x 240 resolution. The electronic hardware is housed in a black and

silver molded plastic enclosure. Connection to the control system is via a 6-pin

RJ-11 connector mounted on the bottom of the unit base. Refer to the illustrations

below and on the next page.

Four rubber feet on the underside of the unit are for stability and to prevent slippage

on flat surfaces.

Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, this unit has been tested and found to comply with

specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radio Communications

Compliance Labeling.

NOTE: These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions: (1) these devices may not cause harmful interference,

and (2) these devices must accept any interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation.

Setup

Network Wiring

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to

do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power can lead to

unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power

Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the system

(http://www.crestron.com/calculators).

NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring

diagram(s) appropriate for your specific system configuration, available from the

Crestron website.

When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run

and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected must be taken into

consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power

usage of each unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the

Cresnet power usage of the entire chain.The length of the run in feet and theCresnet

power usage of the runshouldbe used inthe following resistance equation to

calculate the value ontheright side of the equation.

Resistance Equation

R = Resistance (refer to the following table).

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain).

R < L x P

40,000 Where:

The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than

the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is

the +24V conductor and the GND conductor, and the other twisted pair is the Y

conductor and the Z conductor.

NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to

avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on

the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends

of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle.

Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining

screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may be

necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality

throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be

desirable to add a hub/repeater after only 20 network devices.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the Cresnet system requires a unique

identity code (Net ID). These codes are two-digit hexadecimal numbers from 03 to

FE. Refer to “Interface Menu” on page 8 for instructions on setting the unit’s Net ID.

The Net ID of the unit must match the Net ID specified in the SIMPL Windows

program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 12 for details of

the SIMPL Windows procedure.

Configuring the Touchpanel

Main Menu for CT-1550

NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touchpanel is power. Refer to

“Hardware Hookup” on page 8 for details.

It may be necessary to make adjustments or configure the touchpanel to accommodate

proper operation for the end user. This is accomplished through the Setup Mode.

Instructions for configuring the touchpanel are given in the following paragraphs.

The Main Menu, shown to the left of this paragraph, appears when a finger is held to

the touchscreen for about three seconds from the powered down state. This screen

indicates that you are in “setup mode” and can proceed to configure the touchpanel.
