2. Installation Procedures Pre aration
Ste 1. Make a list of the cabling requirements for the end-user a lication. What cable ty es are needed? For
exam le: CAT-5 for network connection, RS-232 for device control, ower, VIDEO, USB, etc.
Ste 2. Determine the best location for the touch anel then re are the cables based on ty e and length.
Installation - Hardware
Ste 3. Use the cutout tem late rovided with the anel to make the o ening in the wall. Test fit the anel into
the wall o ening. Make sure the mounting wings are aligned vertically and the ga between the frame
and the wing is a little more than the wall thickness before fitting the anel into the wall.
Ste 4. Remove the anel and set it aside. Route all cables needed for the installation through the wall o ening,
into the wall, and to the ro er source/destination. For ower, only use the ower ada ter rovided.
Ste 5. Once the cables are routed, connect the ower cable to the anel and verify the anel turns on
automatically. After the anel boots, disconnect the ada ter from AC ower.
Ste 6. Connect the remaining cables to the anel and insert the anel into the wall. Be careful not to bend the
cable connectors that are attached to the anel.
Ste 7. Make sure the wings are inside and behind the wall material. The anel fastens directly to the wallboard using
the attached, ca tive hardware. Tighten the mounting screws until each wing firmly "grabs" the wall.
Ste 8. Align the cli s on the inside of the bezel with the mounting ins inside the frame and ress firmly into lace.
U load A lication - Software
Ste 9. Connect the ower ada ter to AC ower and wait for the anel to "boot" u ; the anel boots automatically and launches
the AVSna
®
initial setu a lication dis laying system details. Follow the instructions to u load the a lication or quit the
setu a lication and use a USB drive to install the a lication.
Ste 10. Once all software has been installed, close all o en a lications and ut a shortcut to the a lication in the startu folder. Run the COMMIT
batch file located on the deskto and restart the com uter from the "Start" menu.
Ste 11. Verify the anel boots u and automatically launches the control software. The unit is now o erational.

5. About Your CP452-009 MultiTouch Widescreen Panel
The CP452 touch screen controller is s ecifically designed for in-wall installations. It
is ideal for a wide variety of control a lications. Each controller is a com uter
running Windows XP Embedded that includes these key features:
•Touch Screen
•COM ort and 2 LAN orts
•4 USB orts
•AVSna ™ Professional AV System Integration Tool
The CP452 anel senses “touch” from a finger, stylus, en, encil, gloved finger, or
other tool. The touch screen is very accurate and res onsive to the o erator's in ut.
The CP452 incor orates effortlessly into any AV system.
The COM ort can control virtually any serial device using standard RS-232
communication. The two LAN orts allow connectivity to a local area network or a
direct connection to another TCP/IP device. For added flexibility, consider the
ALTINEX AC301-201 TCP/IP to RS-232 Ada ter. This ada ter allows RS-232
communication through a standard LAN connection.
The AC301-201 has both serial (DB9) and network (RJ-45) connections. The AC301-201 connects to a serial device using its DB9 connection, and to the LAN
using standard network cable. AVSna , or other RS-232 communication software, can then be used to control the serial device using the IP address of the ada ter
in lace of the COM ort. In this way, a single controller can be used to control any number of serial devices using their unique IP address.
The CP452 is designed for in-wall mounting. A a er tem late is rovided for an accurate wall cutout. Sim le blind screws rovide hassle free installation.
AVSna software is installed on the CP452 and rovides a com lete design environment for develo ing sim le to so histicated gra hical user interfaces (GUIs)
and control software. AVSna is re installed on each CP452 making it easy to integrate into any control environment. Design high-quality GUIs with minimum
effort by way of user-friendly toolbars for buttons, volume controls, rogress bars, and much more. AVSna incor orates a sim le rogramming language with an
organized interface that makes even com lex rogramming code easy to read and maintain.

7. Operation
The CP452 is designed for use in a fixed a lication where the system
boots u directly into the user a lication and does not allow access to the
o erating system. The a lication and GUI interface are normally created
using a standard deskto com uter and then installed onto the CP452 using
a USB drive or network connection.
Once set-u , the CP452 will work trouble free without user intervention.
7.1 Power Up and Shutdown
The CP452 boots automatically as soon as ower is a lied. There is no
need to ress the ower switch on the bottom of the unit. In most
installations, the system boots directly into the end-user a lication.
The CP452 can be owered down using the shutdown/ ower off o tion
from the START menu, or directly from an AVSna a lication using the
"A .Shutdown" function.
7.2 Preparing Control Software
It is not recommended to design and create control software directly on
the CP452. In most situations, it is easier and faster to write and debug
control software on a standard deskto com uter and then transfer the
com leted file when ready. However, if the CP452 needs to be
rogrammed "in lace", use an external USB keyboard and mouse. Sim ly
lug in the devices and wait for the system to recognize the new hardware
and load the drivers.
Remember, the CP452 em loys the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) to
rotect the contents of the internal drive. Read the next section carefully
before attem ting to install, create, or edit any data files or a lications on
the CP452. If not executed ro erly, changes will be lost.
The best way to create and edit on the CP452 is to use a USB drive lugged
into the bottom of the unit and make changes directly to the USB drive
then co y the final files to the CP452’s "C" drive.
7.3 Installing Files and Applications
The CP452 utilizes the Windows XP Embedded EWF to rotect the
CP452’s internal memory from accidental or unauthorized changes. The
EWF a ears to read and write from the internal drive, but executes
everything in RAM. All changes WILL be lost after reset or shutdown
unless the changes are committed to memory. Three batch files are
rovided for direct control over the EWF and should be used cautiously.
1. COMMIT.BAT – Write to hard drive
This batch file resides on the deskto and writes the RAM data onto
the hard drive for ermanent storage while EWF is enabled. Close
o en a lications before running this batch file or the changes may
not be committed to memory.
2. ENABLE.BAT – Turn on EWF
This batch file resides in the root directory and turns on the EWF. In
this mode, no changes made to the system are saved unless the
COMMIT batch file is executed. This is the default condition for all
CP452s.
3. DISABLE.BAT – Turn off EWF
This batch file resides in the root directory and turns off the EWF. In
this mode, the system o erates like a normal com uter reading and
writing data directly to the hard drive.
WARNING
When the EWF is turned off, the user MUST shutdown the com uter
ro erly. If ower is turned off or lost without executing the normal
shutdown rocedure, data can be lost, or corru ted, including the
BIOS and o erating system (OS). If the BIOS or OS are damaged, the
entire system can become unusable.
7.3.1 Installing Large Files
If the a lication or file is too large for the available RAM, the o eration
will be aborted. Use the disable batch file before installing the software.
Make sure to reset the EWF when done.

8. Troubleshooting Guide
We have carefully tested and have found no roblems in the su lied CP452. However, we would like to offer suggestions for the following:
Symptom Resolution
Power Is Not On
1. Verify the ada ter is lugged into a working AC outlet and that the outlet has ower. Use only the AC ada ter
that was shi ed with the unit.
2. Verify the DC ower lug coming from the AC ada ter is lugged all the way into the CP452.
3. If there is AC ower to the ada ter and the anel still does not turn on, the CP452 or the ower ada ter may
require service; call ALTINEX at [phone].
Software/Files Are Missing
1. Always make changes to the CP452 then run the COMMIT batch file on the deskto before shutting down or
restarting the CP452. A valid shutdown (Windows shutdown or restart) is needed to validate and make the
changes ermanent. If ower is turned off or lost with running a ro er shutdown, all changes are lost.
2. Any files that are o en for editing must be closed before executing the COMMIT batch file.
For best results: a. Close all a lications and files.
b. Run the COMMIT batch file.
c. Restart the anel from the Windows Start menu.
