Series STX Touchpanels

Description

Functional Description

The Series STX touchpanels, also known as Spectrum touchpanels, are touchscreen

control panels of various sizes for the CRESNET remote control system (herein

referred to as the CRESNET system). The Spectrum family of touchpanels act as a

transceiver that offers long range, radio frequency (RF), two-way communication

with the CNRFGWX, to provide dynamic onscreen feedback for real-time

confirmation of commands. Up to 15 Spectrum touchpanels can communicate with

one CNRFGWX.

Crestron’s exclusive RF engineering permits transmission over extended ranges and

utilizes spread spectrum technology. Signals can travel up to 1000 feet to and from

the transceiver, even through walls. Spread spectrum eliminates the risk of signal

‘drop-out’ by automatically scanning for the best frequency.

There is no need to concern yourself about loss of power; all STX touchpanels offer

multiple power options. Two extra-long life, rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCad)

battery packs slip into the unit to handle any situation from anywhere in the range

without wires. Power backup is available from a supplied power pack that plugs into

the base of the unit. STX touchpanels also have a network port to provide power

backup via the network. Simply plug the CRESNET network wire into the port to

bypass RF transmission and communicate via a hardwire on the fly. Enjoy

uninterrupted control while simultaneously recharging the battery packs.

Software

VisionTools™ Pro (VT Pro), a design and programming Windows-based

software, permits the creation of unlimited control screen variations incorporating

two and three-dimensional graphics and text. A set of pages which make up a

project can be designed for each STX touchpanel application. Each page contains

objects such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders,

and digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system. The

project is uploaded to the touchpanel and programmed into the flash PROM. The

touchpanel uses the programmed project until another set is uploaded from the PC.

The PC may be disconnected from the rack or panel except during reprogramming.

For additional software information, consult the VT Pro help file.

Position Lock Button

The position lock button is centrally located at the front of the STX touchpanel base.

These touchpanels permit incremental angle positions indicated by audible clicks.

Range of motion is adjustable for user comfort and can vary depending on the STX

configuration. Thus the user can position the touchscreen to a comfortable angle, just

as a microphone can be repositioned for each speaker. The comfortable angle is

herein referred to as user position. The position lock guarantees that once a user

position is established or locked, the angle will not degrade from repeated presses on

the touchscreen.

The touchscreen is free to move up from the horizontal to an incremental angle.

Grasp the touchscreen with a hand at each side and gently tilt up to a comfortable

position. To activate position lock, slightly reverse the motion until the touchpanel

stops moving. Correct hand placement is shown below. The touchscreen is now set

into user position.

Hand Position for Tilting Touchpanel to Vertical

Once in user position, position lock is activated which means the touchscreen can

not be forced to the horizontal position without depressing the position lock button.

The touchscreen is still free to tilt up; a new user position is established at each

increment or audible click.

The position lock button needs to be depressed before the touchscreen can be

returned to the horizontal position. To depress the button, slightly position the

touchscreen in the vertical direction with two hands, avoiding any tilting. The

position lock button can be depressed with one hand; the touchscreen can be tilted

down to the horizontal position with the other, shown below.

Physical Description

The touch sensitive viewing screen is located on the front of each STX touchpanel.

The electronic hardware is housed in a high impact, black molded plastic enclosure.

These touchpanels are designed to be placed on a counter and possess a hinged base

which can tilt (angle depends on STX configuration). Depress the position lock

button located at the front of the base when pivoting the touchpanel to the horizontal

position. The size of the base, shown below, is exactly the same for all STX

configurations; only the distance between the two hinges is smaller for the smaller

touchscreen.

TOUCHSCREE

Two battery packs must be inserted into the base of the touchpanel for wireless

operation. The battery compartment door is located on the right side (when facing

the touchscreen) of the base, shown below. Two connectors are located on the left

side (when facing the touchscreen) of the base. The DC power socket connector is

used to supply external power via the supplied 24 VDC power pack. The network

connector is a 6-pin, 6-position RJ11 modular jack. A network wire must be attached

to the touchpanel when uploading a program. The network wire provides power.

NOTE: Most 4-conductor phone cables are wired in a crisscross fashion and are not

compatible with Crestron equipment.

NOTE: If the power pack and the network wire is attached at the same time, power

is drawn from the power pack. The touchpanel does not load the network power.

Power buttons and LED indicators, shown below, are located on the touchpanel base

just left of the position lock button. Two membrane buttons, OFF and ON, can be

used to deactivate and activate the touchpanel when needed. The ON button has a

LED behind the membrane. It illuminates when the touchpanel is active. Three other

LEDs are positioned to the right of the membrane buttons: RF SIG, BATTERY

LOW, and BATTERY CHG. RF SIG illuminates when the touchpanel

communicates with the CNRFGWX transceiver. BATTERY LOW illuminates when

the battery packs in the touchpanel have a low charge. BATTERY CHG illuminates

while the low or discharged battery packs inserted in the touchpanel are slow

charged; assuming the touchpanel is powered from the external power pack or the

network.

Configuration Differences

There are three Series STX configurations available and selection depends on color

versus grayscale display, display size, and memory. A configuration is defined by an

alphanumeric suffix after STX. Refer to the table shown below for a concise listing

of each Series STX configuration. Following the table, front views of each STX

touchpanel are shown.
