Crestron Isys™ tilt touchpanels (TPS-5000, TPS-6000, and TPS-4500 – refer to note on this page for this unit). Equipped with the TPS-XTXRF, the touchpanel is converted to an RF two-way wireless transceiver that communicates through an RF gateway/transceiver, TPS- RFGWX (sold separately) to the Crestron remote control system (herein referred to as the Cresnet system).
The latest versions of the guides can be obtained from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com). Physical Description The TPS-XTXRF, shown below, is housed in a black plastic enclosure. It replaces the original touchpanel base cover on the panel enclosure. TPS-XTXRF Physical Views 2 •...
In conclusion, the best condition for charging a battery is with the panel powered down. Furthermore, the optimum operating conditions for extending battery charge requires that the brightness be kept to a minimum, minimizing the standby and power down timeouts, and avoid overheating/freezing.

NOTE: If the TPS touchpanel is equipped with an optional TPS-XVGA or TPS-XVGA-BV expansion card, the fan assembly on the card must be removed because it interferes with the placement of the TPS-XTXRF. Removal will not introduce cooling problems because the TPS-XTXRF has fans for adequate air circulation.

NOTE: If the TPS touchpanel is equipped with an optional TPS-XVGA or TPS-XVGA-BV expansion card, temporarily removing the card makes installation of the TPS-XTXRF cable connectors easier. However, re-installation of the card requires a #1 Phillips screwdriver (1.5” length). Installation Diagram 5 of 12 - Position TPS-XTXRF onto Touchpanel Operations &...

19. Refer to the diagram below. By hand, thread the antenna onto the antenna mounting post to finger-tight. 20. Apply power to the touchpanel. There are four ways to operate the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel. First, a charged TPS-XBTP Battery Pack can be installed into the touchpanel directly. Secondly, the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel can be properly positioned on the TPS-XDS Docking Station with or without a TPS-XBTP installed.
This will help in determining whether there is a programming problem, RF setting conflict or RF interference in the environment.

STX1550C_*.SMW. Configuring the Touchpanel for Operation The touchpanel with the TPS-XTXRF installed can operate as a Cresnet or RF device. The operation of the touchpanel is determined by the attachment of the NET/VIDEO cable to the touchpanel. To use the touchpanel as a Cresnet wired unit, connect the NET/VIDEO cable to the NET/VIDEO port of the touchpanel.

Two-Way RF Transceiver Module RF Configuration Crestron Isys To configure the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel for RF communication, it is necessary to access a series of setup screens on the touchpanel. NOTE: For additional touchpanel configuration information, consult the appropriate Isys from the Downloads | Product Manuals section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
For the TPS-XTXRF equipped touchpanel, analog join number 17507 may be used for a TPS-BTP battery gauge. There is also another analog join number 17514 that is used to determine the state of the battery pack.
NOTE: To minimize system diagnostics and troubleshooting, Crestron recommends defining the touchpanel as a wired unit in SIMPL Windows, then test functionality as a wired network device prior to testing the TPS-XTXRF transceiver operations. This will help in determining whether there is a programming problem, RF setting conflict or RF interference in the environment.
