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

SmarTouch STS Touchpanel Physical Views

A battery compartment is located on the underside of the unit. The compartment

holds one Crestron ST-BTP, rechargeable power pack. There are also four rubber

feet on the underside of the unit for stability and to prevent slippage.

General Use and Safety

WARNING: To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use

touchpanel in rain or expose it to unnecessary moisture.

NOTE: Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. The equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy

and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

2 •SmarTouch STS User's Operations Guide - DOC. 5804

Crestron ST-1550 & ST-1550C SmarTouch STS Touchpanels

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that

interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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

specifications for CE marking.

Recommended Touchpanel Cleaning

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could

degrade optical properties. Long term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the

surface which may detrimentally affect image quality.

For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any

commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Surrounding plastic enclosure

may not provide a complete water-tight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to

the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and

avoid ingress of moisture beneath panels.

Applying Power

The touchpanel can be powered via an external AC power pack, while resting in the

ST-DS, or via the ST-BTP. Each of these supplied items have their own Operations

Guides which details proper usage. Refer to the table below for the required

document number. This table does not account for the latest revision letter of each

document.

Configuring the Touchpanel

It may be necessary to make adjustments or configure your touchpanel due to

personal preference or the way you would like to use it. If you are uncomfortable

with making these adjustments yourself, consult the dealer in your area.

To configure the touchpanel, 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

operation. The Opening Screen, shown below, appears when a finger is held to the

touchscreen for approximately three seconds as power is applied. This screen

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

Opening Screen for ST-1550C (left) and ST-1550 (right)

Remove your finger and touch the Opening Screen again to display the Preferences

and Settings Menu, shown after this paragraph. All resources to configure the

touchpanel are available from this menu.

Preferences and Settings Menu

The Preferences and Settings Menu displays five buttons: Calibration, Preferences,

Power Management, Advanced Settings, and Return. The Return button saves all

of the setup information to EEPROM and displays the main page that has been

programmed into your system.

Calibration

NOTE: Calibration works best

when performed with a narrow,

blunt instrument (i.e., pencil eraser).

Calibration of the touchscreen is required if the active touch area of a button does

not coincide with the button’s image. Select the Calibration button to initiate

“calibration mode”. The touchpanel prompts you with a message, “Touch Upper

Left Corner”. Touch the corner of the screen; be as accurate as possible. Another

message, “Touch Lower Right Corner”, appears. Perform the operation to complete

calibration and return to the Opening Screen.

If the Calibration button from the Preferences and Settings Menu cannot be reached,

complete the following steps.

1. Remove power (ST-BTP, ST-DS, and/or external AC power pack).

2. Reapply power while holding a finger to the touchscreen for at least

three seconds. During this short period, the words “SETUP MODE”

4 •SmarTouch STS User's Operations Guide - DOC. 5804

appear. The Opening Screen appears when the finger is removed from

the touchscreen.

3. Touch the Opening Screen and select the Calibration button from the

Preferences and Settings Menu to enter “calibration mode”.

Preferences Menu

To obtain the Preferences Menu, shown after this paragraph, touch the Preferences

button from the Preferences and Settings Menu. Many options for setting parameters

Battery Life Screen

NOTE: Detach the external AC power pack when viewing Battery Life Screen. If

this pack is attached, the gauges read full charge which may be misleading.

To obtain the Battery Life Screen, shown after this paragraph, touch the Battery Life

button from the Preferences Menu. This screen indicates the amount of charge (or

life) remaining in the batteries, if batteries are installed. A digital and analog gauge is

provided. The digital gauge, located on the left side of the screen, indicates five

levels of charge: 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. The illustration below shows that

the battery life is at the 0% level. The analog gauge, located on the right side of the

screen, indicates smaller and continuous incremental levels of charge. The analog bar

fills to the appropriate level of charge. Touch the Return button to display the

Preferences Menu.

Clock Adjust Screen

If a screen page in your customized program employs a clock display or if the

software’s scheduler is utilized, the touchpanel’s internal clock and date setting must

be set. To set date and time parameters select the Clock Adjust button located in the

Preferences Menu and display the Clock Adjust Screen, shown below.

Clock Adjust Screen

The very top portion of this screen displays the current date and time setting as a

scratchpad. Use the string of six buttons, Month Down, Month Up, Date Down,

Date Up, Year Down, and Year Up, to alter the date values in the scratchpad to the

current date. Use the string of six buttons, Hour Down, Hour Up, Minute Down,

Minute Up, Second Down, and Second Up, to synchronize the time values in the

scratchpad to the current time. To save the settings in the scratchpad to the

touchpanel’s internal clock and return to the Preferences Menu, touch the RETURN

button.

Sound Menu

The touchpanels are equipped with audible feedback that can be turned on or off and

have its volume adjusted. To obtain the Sound Menu, shown after this paragraph,

touch the Sound button from the Preferences Menu. The KEYCLICK ON and

KEYCLICK OFF buttons activate and deactivate the audible feedback,

respectively. The VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons increase and

decrease the sound’s volume, respectively. A sample of sound volume is omitted

with each incremental press. Touch the Return button, located at the bottom of the

menu, to save the settings and display the Preferences Menu.
