Interface Module: TPS-IMPC

Introduction

Features & Functions

The TPS-IMPC is an interface module designed for, and included with the Crestron



TPS-3000, TPS-5000, and TPS-6000 tilt touchpanels. The sleek design of the touchpanel base left little room for all the connectors that define the touchpanel's versatility. Furthermore, since the panel is not a stationary user interface, it is impractical to have an excessive amount of cable connections directly to the touchpanel. As a result, it was necessary to connect the touchpanel to an interface module that could offer additional space for interconnections.

Specifications

The following table provides a summary of specifications for the

TPS-IMPC.

NTSC/PAL VIDEO

The NTSC/PAL video input consists of three connectors; two BNC connectors for unbalanced video signals and one 6-pin mini-connector for twisted pair wiring of balanced video signals. The video signal is connected to these ports and requires a TPS-3000 or installation of the

TPS-VID-1 or TPS-VID-2 video card in a TPS-5000 or TPS-6000 touchpanel to display video. Consult the latest revision of the TPS-3000

Operations Guide (Doc. 6076) or TPS-VID-1/2 Operations & Installation

Guide (Doc. 6059) for details. Use either the two BNC connectors or the six-pin connector for twisted pair wiring when connecting a video source.

NOTE: BNC connectors are physically located next to the twisted pair connectors. Image is for illustration purposes only. Refer to the physical

view of the TPS-IMPC on page 2 for actual connector positions.

NOTE: The TPS-IMPC allows the use of either balanced or unbalanced signals for video input. To select the signal type to be used, the DIP switches located next to the MIC port must be set in the correct position.

Refer to “BAL/COAX” on page 6 for more information.

NET

This four-pin connector is used to connect to other Cresnet



peripherals in a system and provide network power to the touchpanel if an external power pack is not used. If making network connections to a control

system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to “Network Wiring” on page 7.

24VDC

2.0A

24 VDC, 2.0A (Power Supply)

This female connector is used to supply 24 VDC power to the

TPS-IMPC and the touchpanel from an optional power pack (Crestron model PW-2420RU). When power is supplied to the TPS-IMPC through this connector, a Cresnet power connection is not required to display video on the touchpanel.

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.



CAUTION: If power is provided to the TPS-IMPC from the +24VDC on a Cresnet connector or the PW-2420RU, power must not be applied to the power input on the touchpanel base.

NOTE: When power is supplied through this connector, Crestron recommends disconnecting the +24 VDC on the Cresnet connector (if it is connected).

NOTE: Use care in wiring installations to avoid applying 24 VDC power to Cresnet wiring from multiple sources.

BAL/COAX

While not a port, these DIP switches are used to select which video connections (balanced or unbalanced) to use when receiving video signals. When used with a TPS-VID-2, each composite video signal can come in on either the twisted pair (balanced) or coaxial (unbalanced) connector. When used with a TPS-VID-1, the video signal (S-video or composite) can be received over the twisted pair (balanced) or coaxial

(unbalanced) connectors. As long as a switch is in the appropriate position, a signal can be connected to either the BNC or twisted-pair connector.

To select the twisted pair connector for balanced video, the DIP switch for the respective video source must be in the “UP” position. To use the coaxial connector(s) for unbalanced video, the DIP switch must be in the

“DOWN” position.



Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, the TPS-IMPC has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785).

Setup

Network Wiring

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty.

CAUTION: Possible equipment damage if miswired.

NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate to your specific system configuration, available from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Wiring Diagrams section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).

NOTE: Do not power up system until all wiring is verified. Care should be taken to ensure data (Y, Z) and power (24, G) connections are not crossed.

NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor.

NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may be necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs or varying types of network devices, it may be desirable to add a hub/repeater after only 20 network devices.

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


Interface Module Crestron TPS-IMPC must be taken into consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain.

The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.

Resistance Equation

R < L x PF Where: R = Resistance (refer to table below).

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.

PF = Power factor of entire run (or chain).

The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw.

Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.

Hardware Hookup

The TPS-IMPC serves as an interface between the touchpanel and the

Cresnet system. Refer to the illustration after this paragraph for proper connections; apply power last. When making network connections to a

control system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to “Network Wiring” on page

7. It is not necessary to make connections to a video source unless a

TPS-3000 touchpanel is used or a TPS-VID-1/2 has been installed into a



TPS-5000 or TPS-6000 touchpanel and a video window object resides on a page within the uploaded Crestron VisionTools ® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) project.

NOTE: When connecting the net/video cable from the interface module to the touchpanel, exceeding a cable length of 30 feet will significantly degrade the video signal. To maintain high-quality video, DO NOT daisy-chain cables or Crestron TPSBLOCK-10 cables longer than 30 feet. Contact Crestron for the maximum available cable length.
