Functional Description The Series 1600 Touchpanels are 5.7-inch (14.4-cm) touchscreen control panels for any Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the control system). There are six Series 1600 models available. Options are color versus grayscale, adjustable tiltcase versus lectern/wall mount, and “Designer Series” color cover. Model selection is based on application requirements.
A cable with a four-pin network connector at its end is attached to the base of the CT-1600 or LC-1600. Connect the cable directly to the control system. 2 • Series 1600 Wired Touchpanels Crestron Series 1600 Operations &...

Series 1600 Touchpanels. Dimensions and weight are rounded to the nearest hundredth unit. NOTE: Check the Crestron FTP site (www.crestron.com) periodically for the latest firmware versions. Search in the TOUCHPNL Library. New users are required to register in order to obtain access to the FTP site.
Cresnet Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be obtained from the Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL Libraries) of the Crestron website (www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files. When calculating the wire gauge for a particular network run, the length of the run and the power factor of each network unit to be connected must be taken into consideration.
Back Box Mounting Drywall Mounting Each Series 1600 Touchpanel is provided with four metal mounting plates (two small and two large) and eight mounting screws to fasten the panel to a mounting surface without an electrical box. Complete the following installation procedure in the order provided.
Drywall Mounting Mounting the Tiltcase Model The CT-1600 or LC-1600 can be placed on or mounted to a flat surface. There are mounting holes on the “foot” of the touchpanel to secure the panel in a fixed position. Refer to the mounting information shown in the illustration after this paragraph for this model.
Main Menu The Main Menu for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen as power is applied. Remove your finger when the message "SETUP MODE"...
Menu, is selected. Selection is indicated with red text (for CT models) or gray (for LC models). When enabled, a given touchpanel maintains communication in such a way that a page change to any touchpanel on the network forces the same page change to all enabled touchpanels. Panel tracking is disabled when the PANEL TRACKING button is deselected.
The touchpanel display hardware life can be lengthened by turning off the backlight when the touchpanel is inactive. The MANAGE POWER button is located in the top left corner of the Setup Menu. Selection of this button changes the touchpanel display to reveal the Power Management Submenu, shown to the left.
SIMPL™ Windows NOTE: VisionTools Pro-e (VT Pro-e) is a Windows compatible software package for creating Crestron touchpanel screen designs. Refer to "Software" on page 2 for additional details regarding VT Pro-e. SIMPL (Symbol Intensive Master Programming Language) is an easy-to-use programming language that is completely integrated and compatible with all Crestron system hardware.
A basic Series 1600 Touchpanel SIMPL program is shown after this paragraph in block diagram form. For this example, the CT-1600 is the user interface in a control system containing a CNMSX-PRO. Assume that the CT-1600 is used to control the state of Zone 1 in a lighting system.
For this example, add a CNXCOM-2 to slot #1 of the CNMSX-PRO. Also add a CT-1600 to the system; its NET ID must be set to 03, shown after this paragraph.

Crestron Series 1600 accomplished at any rate less than 2400 baud. Obviously, ramping several objects at once requires a baud rate several times as high. Indirect Text - Series 1600 Touchpanels support a feature that permits the text field in any user-defined button to be altered on the fly in RUN mode. This is accomplished by substituting a text pointer for the text in the button.
Use the alphanumeric codes in the illustration and table to obtain the cutout dimensions for the lectern/wall mount models when mounting without the BB-1600. However, Crestron recommends that the supplied template be used to avoid error. VERTICAL MEASUREMENTS 20 • Series 1600 Wired Touchpanels...
