DIAGNOSTICS Menu Hardware Hookup The TPS-6X comes in a soft felt bag to protect it during shipping. The TPS-6X does not require any connections for wireless operation but does need to be acquired by a CEN(I)-HPRFGW gateway (sold separately). Refer to "WIRELESS" which starts on page 27 and to the "Operation" section of the latest version of the CEN(I)-HPRFGW High Powered Gateway Operations Guide (Doc. 6587) for details. For Cresnet or Ethernet connection or to upgrade touchpanel firmware, the TPS-6X must be placed on the TPS(I)-6X-DS Docking Station, which must be connected to the TPS-6X IMCW Interface Module (both included), which in turn must be connected to a control system via Cresnet or Ethernet. For details, refer to the latest version of the TPS-6X-DS Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6576) and the TPS-6X-IMCW Installation Guide (Doc. 6533). Make the necessary connections as called out in the illustrations on the following pages. Refer to "Network Wiring" on page 12 before attaching the 4-position terminal block connector. Apply power after all connections have been made. When making connections to the TPS-6X-IMCW, use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. To mount the TPS-6X, the touchpanel must first be positioned onto the docking station at a slight angle to latch the top portion of the docking station onto the touchpanel. Magnets on the TPS(I)-6X-DS attach to metal plates installed on the TPS-6X to secure the touchpanel in place (refer to the following illustration).

Recommended Cleaning Touchscreen Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust or other materials that could degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the surface, which may detrimentally affect image quality. For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Bezels may not provide a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid getting moisture beneath the bezels. CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during handling. Doing so can crack the screen and damage the touchpanel. Enclosure The soft felt bag the TPS-6X came shipped in can be used to clean the bezel and the rest of the touchpanel enclosure.
