  • Page 5: Series Stx Touchpanels

    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’...
  • Page 6 CRESTRON 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.
  • Page 7: Physical Description

    (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;...
  • Page 8: Configuration Differences

    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.

  • Page 11: Setup

    Setup WARNING: To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use touchpanel in rain or expose it to unnecessary moisture. Recommended Touchpanel Cleaning Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could degrade optical properties.
  • Page 12: Battery Usage

    It takes approximately 20 hours to slow charge a fully discharged ST-BP. There is no danger of over charging the ST-BP, so the power packs can be installed at all times. It only takes 2 hours to charge the ST-BP in Crestron’s battery charger, ST-BC (sold separately).
  • Page 13: Identity Codes

    SIMPL Windows. Hardware Hookup The extent of hooking up a STX touchpanel only involves connecting the unit to the network when uploading a project to the touchpanel. Depending on the control system, the hookup may implement the CN-RJ11 (supplied); refer to the hardware hookup diagrams below for proper connections when uploading the project.
  • Page 14: Configuring The Touchpanel

    NOTE: The firmware (required for configuring the touchpanels) is identical for the STX-3000 and STX-3500C. Therefore, all screens, except for one (contrast adjustment on the Setup Menu), are identical. Firmware for the STX-1600C differs completely, except for the Main and Calibration Menus. In this guide, differing screens are shown side-by-side with STX-1600C screens on the left and the STX-3000 and STX-3500C screens on the right.
  • Page 15: Diagnostics Menu

    Calibration Menu If you proceed to calibrate the touchpanel, the screen prompts you with the message “Touch Screen Calibration Menu” nearly centered on the display. Another message, “Touch Upper Left Corner”, appears in the upper left corner. Touch the corner of the screen to initiate calibration.
  • Page 16 CRESTRON Setup Menu NOTE: Since the same Setup Menu used for the STX-3000 and STX-3500C is used for Crestron’s wired panels as well, the RS-232 button - although shown, is not functional when configuring STX touchpanels. Interface The touchpanel communicates with a CRESNET system to activate other controls or to display feedback from components within the system.
  • Page 17 CRESNET II for normal CRESENT communication mode. Text within the selected button changes color from black to red (for STX-1600C) or light gray (for STX- 3000 and STX-3500C). Communication mode is factory set to CRESNET II. Two side-by-side buttons on the Interface Menu (for STX-3000 and STX-3500C), RS-232 ON and RS-232 OFF, located just above the RETURN button.
  • Page 18 Screen contrast may need to be altered because of ambient light conditions, panel temperature, or personal preference. Two contrast buttons, Contrast << and Contrast >> (Cont << and Cont >> for the STX-1600C), on the Setup Menu may be held down for continuous and smooth adjustment of the screen.
  • Page 19 A two minute BACKLIGHT TIMEOUT is shown in the illustration. Minutes can vary from 0 to 120, where 0 disables the timeout. Down and up arrow buttons (worded buttons, DOWN and UP, appear on the STX-1600C configuration) decrease and increase the timeout, respectively.
  • Page 20: Programming With Simpl™ Windows

    STX3500C.SMW). How the Program Works A basic STX-1600C SIMPL program is shown on the next page in block diagram form. For this example, the STX-1600C in a simple volume control application where UP and DOWN ramp a bargraph to an ST-VC, volume/tone control module, with a time interval of five seconds.
  • Page 21: How To Create The Program

    NOTE: SIMPL Windows v1.21.04 or later is required to program the control system containing a STX-1600C touchpanel. If using an earlier version of SIMPL Windows, Crestron recommends a SIMPL Windows and operating system upgrade.

  • Page 28: Appendix

    Appendix The purpose of this Appendix is to provide a programming solution for those that prefer the last screen to be displayed when the touchpanel turns on after encountering a POWER DOWN TIMEOUT. Stated simply, an INTERLOCK symbol needs to be incorporated so that the control system flips to the last page rather than the page marked as first.
  • Page 29: Simpl Program

    TV-FLIP and Join # 9 has the signal name of VCR-FLIP. Refer to the block diagram shown below. SIMPL Block Diagram for the Example Operations Guide - DOC. 5716A CRESTRON DEVICE PAGE NAME PROJECTOR STTW...
  • Page 30: Conclusion: How The Example Works

    These three signal names should drive an INTERLOCK symbol so that the system can “remember” which page was shown last on the touchpanel. The outputs of the INTERLOCK are assigned unique names: TV-FLIP-F, VCR-FLIP-F, and PROJ- FLIP-F. Finally, the corresponding feedback signals from the INTERLOCK must match the appropriate page join number.
