INTRODUCTION ® The Niles TS-1 Touch Screen Keypad is designed as an elegant alternative to the IntelliPad Keypads used with Niles Multi-Zone Systems. The TS-1 has an easy-to-read, wall-mounted user interface and is an ideal choice for home areas where the multi-zone system will be used the most (e.g., kitchen, master bedroom, family room, etc.).
In addition, an IR Sensor and a PROGRAM Jack (for installers) are hidden under the faceplate. The IR Sensor communicates with a (optional) Niles R-4 or R-8 Remote Control so you can conveniently operate the TS-1 at a distance. The PROGRAM Jack allows an installer to set custom features on the TS-1 when using a connected laptop PC and our TS-1 programming software.

Pressing and holding a Master Key for more than 3 seconds will turn on the zone you are in and turn on all other zones, as set by the ALL ON/PAGE switches (see the appropriate Niles Multi-Zone Control System Installation and Operation Guide). In newly-activated zones, the Touch Screen will be blank and only (Zone On) will be backlit blue.
For example, Figure 4 on page 10 shows three Control Screens for a Niles ZR Tuner: FM Favorites, Tuner Direct Access, and Tuner Control. You can navigate to other screens by simply touching Prev or Next one or more times.
® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D Understanding Feedback Messages The TS-1 includes several Feedback Messages that appear under certain conditions to help guide you when operating a desired function, as shown in Figure 7. Some serve as indicators while others serve to alert you to a condition.
® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D DESCRIPTION/OPERATION OVERVIEW (continued) Cleaning the TS-1 The TS-1 includes a Cleaning Mode program so you can temporarily turn off the Touch Screen to clean dust and grime.
The Niles TS-1 Touch Screen Keypad is designed as an alternative to the IntelliPad Ci Keypads (i.e., Solo, Solo IR, Select, Select IR, Numeric, or Transport). Either or both can be used in a Niles Multi-Zone System, such as the ZR-4630, ZR-8630AV, or A4.6Ci. Using standard CAT-5 cables,...

® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS (continued) Installing the TS-1 in Existing Construction 1. At a proposed site, use the enclosed wall template to mark the outline of the TS-1. Check for hidden obstructions by drilling a small hole in the drywall at the center of the outline.
® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D Installing the TS-1 in New Construction For a new construction site, use our optional New Construction Bracket (FG01060) to provide a support for mounting the TS-1 on new drywall, as shown in Figure 14.

® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS Installing the TS-1 in New Construction (continued) 1. At a proposed site, install a New Construction Bracket to studs with nails or metal screws. 2.
• Using a CAT-5 cable, connect SYSTEM as a home run to the appropriate zone jack on the Niles Multi-Zone System. For wiring consistency, follow the color codes shown in Figure 15. (Please refer to IMPORTANT warning on pages 24, 26).

® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D CONNECTING THE TS-1 TS-1 Connections (continued) • Connect IR SENSOR to an (optional) external IR Sensor, as shown in Figure 16 below or Figure 17 on the next page.
Page 29
E Y P A D NOTE: An IR Sensor is required when the built-in TS-1 IR Sensor is not located in an ideal location in a zone, or when pass-through IR commands (instead of Niles system commands) are needed to control a source component.
® N T E L L I O U C H C R E E N E Y P A D MANUALLY PROGRAMMING THE TS-1 The TS-1 can be programmed manually by using a built-in utility program. It provides a series of control screen templates containing source-component function keys for audio and video sources which can be modified and customized by the installer.
