Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run.
If the AUDIO OUT port connects to a device with balanced inputs or no device is connected, the maximum cable length for CAT5 audio is 1000 feet. For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5 Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137).
A triamese cable that is included with the touchpanel has an RJ-45 connector with a blue cover to match the blue label on the TPMC-CH-IMC and an RJ-45 connector with a red cover to match the red label on the TPMC-CH-IMC. The cable also has a 4-position mini- terminal block connector for making a network connection between the touchpanel and the TPMC-CH-IMC.
