ETC Unison Paradigm P-TS7 is an advanced touchscreen that integrates with the Paradigm control system to provide intuitive graphics and control options. With a 7" WVGA, 24-bit color display, it offers high-resolution visuals and vibrant colors. The touchscreen supports Hue Saturation and Brightness (HSB) color picker for dynamic selection of color with LED and multi-parameter fixtures. It also allows for Timed Event creation, edit, and override directly from the Setup menu. Built-in proximity and ambient light sensors ensure optimal performance in various lighting conditions.

Pressing the {Setup} button accesses the
where setup options and technical information are displayed. Pressing the {Service Pin} button issues a service pin request to the Paradigm
Architectural Control Processor over the control network. When the touchscreen is bound/connected to a P-ACP, the configuration file will begin to load.

The Screen page provides user level settings for the touchscreen including:
•
Backlight Level a level bar is provided to set the relative brightness of the touchscreen backlight. By default, the level is set to full
Note:
When the light sensor is “On”, the Backlight Level sets the maximum level of brightness.
•

Backlight Timeout sets the length of inactivity time before the backlight fades to its backlight timeout level. This is separate from any configuration related Inactivity Timeout settings
Level the intensity level the backlight will fade to when its Backlight Timeout has been reached. This level can be set to either “Off” or “Dim”
Light Sensor allows the touchscreen to determine an appropriate backlight level based on ambient light in the space. The internal light sensor measures the ambient light and adjusts the backlight proportionally based on the established backlight level settings. By default, the light sensor is set to Off.
Proximity Sensor when set to On (the default), proximity allows the touchscreen to detect a user’s presence as they approach the touchscreen for use. When proximity is detected, the touchscreen automatically turns on the backlight and displays the inactivity page that was configured in ControlDesigner. Proximity is only supported on the wall-mount P-TS7.
The proximity sensor uses active IR to determine proximity to the touchscreen. The sensor has a sensing distance of approximately one foot with a field angle of 15 degrees.
If the sensor registers any moving or stationary objects within this range, it will “wake” the station from its sleeping state and reset the backlight timeout and the station inactivity timer as set in ControlDesigner.
P-TS7 User Manual
Note:
Be aware of stationary objects (such as rack doors) that remain within the sensing range as it may interfere with the function of the sensor. In these applications, it is best practice to disable the proximity sensor.
The proximity sensor is looking for reflected IR; therefore any IR devices (such as alarms or listening assistance systems) within a range of the proximity sensor may prevent the system from sleeping or displaying an inactivity page.
Test Touchscreen
The
page provides a {Test Touchscreen} button that will launch a tool used to test the touchscreen.
Note:
You can also press and hold the [Mode] button (located on the I/O panel of the touchscreen) for four seconds to launch the Test Touchscreen display.
Complete touchscreen calibration is completed at the factory prior to shipment. This function is provided only to test the touchscreen is working as expected.
If pressing on the screen causes unintended results (such as the press registering elsewhere on the screen), contact ETC Technical Support at an office near you. Reference

Each touch event from the mobile device tracks on the P-TS7, and vice versa.
Note:
Only one Paradigm Touchscreen Remote App connection is allowed per P-TS7
Touchscreen at any given time.

A numeric keypad will display for edit of the selected field. Make the modifications to the selected field then select another field for edit as necessary.
Note:
When multiple touchscreens are installed into your system, they must each have a unique IP address. For example, 10.101.15.101, 10.101.15.102, etc. Duplicate
IP addresses will cause system communication problems.
•
In Automatic Mode the touchscreen is configured to obtain an IP address and other network settings automatically from a connected DCHP server. The touchscreen displays the current settings provided from the connected DHCP server but the settings are not user editable. If no DHCP server is present, the touchscreen will assign itself a link-local address in the default 169.254.x.x range. Automatic IP Mode is not recommended for most applications.
Make the mode selection, and then press {Ok} to save your changes. The touchscreen will exit the
