Isys The powerful Isys engine produces astonishing 16-bit full-color graphics and images. Programmable logic built into the ST-1700CIR enables virtual button feedback and subpages, affording considerable versatility for a 1-way touchpanel to deliver the “feel” of a more expensive 2-way RF-based panel.
IR Wireless Touchpanel Quick-Touch Pushbuttons The ST-1700CIR includes a button bezel kit, which may be installed to provide ten tactile pushbuttons for quick-touch access to frequently used commands. In standby, the pushbuttons may be operated without waking the touchscreen for extended battery life.

IR Wireless Touchpanel Physical Description The touchpanel has a 5.7-inch (14.48 cm) active matrix color display panel with 320 x 240 resolution and 16-bit non-palette graphics. The electronic hardware is housed in a black and silver molded plastic enclosure, shown below. Connectors to power the unit and upload touchscreen projects are located on the sides of the unit.
Crestron ST-1700CIR Physical Dimensions of ST-1700CIR (continued) The battery compartment, located on the underside of the unit, holds one Crestron ST-BTPN, rechargeable power pack. There are also four rubber feet on the underside of the unit for stability and to prevent slippage.
Net ID is used when the touchpanel is wired directly to the control system during uploading a Crestron VisionTools touchpanel firmware. The Net ID of the ST-1700CIR has been factory set to 03. IR ID Every ST-1700CIR touchpanel communicating with a Cresnet control system via a CNXRMIRD or C2N-IRGW-1G requires a unique IR ID to secure IR communications.
To configure the unit, 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 MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen for about five seconds from the powered down state.

The touchpanel can be set to one of two numbers: 00 and 10. The default, 00, is shown as an example in the illustration. The IR ID setting should match the value assigned to the ST-1700CIR touchpanel definition in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to page 12 for information about SIMPL programming/setup for this touchpanel.

ENABLED and DISABLED. With ENABLED selected, the display comes on when one of the “quick” pushbuttons is pressed. With DISABLED selected, the display stays off when a “quick” pushbutton is pressed (if touchpanel was off, it goes to standby). The default is DISABLED.
NOTE: If the external AC power pack is attached to the touchpanel and plugged into an active AC receptacle, or if the touchpanel is resting in the docking station (ST-DSN) and plugged into an active AC receptacle, the panel does not power down when the power down timeout is achieved.
Crestron ST-1700CIR General Use and Safety WARNING: To avoid possible damage to the unit, do not use the touchpanel in the 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.
