Crestron TPS-IMW Wall-Mounted Interface Module
Wall-Mounted Interface Module:
TPS-IMW
Introduction
Features & Functions
The TPS-IMW is designed to serve as an optional interface module for
the Crestron TPS-3000, TPS-4000, TPS-5000 and TPS-6000 tilt
touchpanels. The module provides a clean, 2-gang mountable interface
for direct connection to the touchpanel. The TPS-IMW creatively hides
most of the connections behind a wall. The two visible telephone-type
jacks can be camouflaged with a Decora™ wallplate (not supplied) so
that the unit blends into any setting.
NOTE: For the TPS-4500 or TPS-4500V, use the TPS-4500IMW.
Specifications

Wall-Mounted Interface Module Crestron TPS-IMW
Physical Description
The TPS-IMW, shown in the following diagram, mounts into a 2-gang
electrical box (recommended 2.5" depth). The back of the unit is labeled
and provides a network connector, video input connector, audio input,
and microphone output. Once installed, there are only two RJ-45
connectors (for audio/network/video) visible that provide connections to
the touchpanel via the cables supplied with the touchpanel.

Crestron TPS-IMW Wall-Mounted Interface Module
Ports
There are six ports that serve various functions on the TPS-IMW. Refer
to the following diagrams and descriptions of each port.
NTSC/PAL VIDEO
The NTSC/PAL video input uses a 6-position mini-terminal block
connector for twisted pair wiring of balanced or unbalanced video
signals. The video signal is connected to these ports and requires a
TPS-3000, TPS-4000, 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), TPS-4000 Operations Guide (Doc. 6268) or TPS-VID-1/2
Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6059) for details. A description of
the pinouts is shown in the following table.
NTSC/PAL Balanced Video Input Pinouts
PIN DESCRIPTION PIN DESCRIPTION
C(+) Chrominance (Positive) Y(+) Luminance (Positive)
C(-) Chrominance (Negative) Y(-) Luminance (Negative)
C(S) Chrominance (Shield) Y(S) Luminance (Shield)
To connect S-video signals, chrominance and luminance signals must be
connected to the “C” and “Y” terminals. To view composite signals, the
signal should be connected to the “Y” terminal.
NOTE: Except for differential input (balanced) video signal, the six-pin
video connector with jumpers (included) should be installed at all times.
Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 8 for details.
NET
This four-position terminal block 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 6.

This 10-pin RJ-45 connection mates with the TPS-3000, TPS-4000,
TPS-5000, or TPS-6000 touchpanel. Refer to the descriptions and pinout
table that follow this paragraph. The 10-pin net/video cable assembly to
connect the touchpanel to the TPS-IMW is supplied. Even though the
8-pin audio cable may fit into the port, do not use it.
This port provides the Cresnet connection to the touchpanel. This port
also provides composite or S-video input for the built-in video card (with
the purchase of a TPS-3000, TPS-4000, or installation of the
TPS-VID-1/2 in a TPS-5000 or TPS-6000 touchpanel). Consult the latest
revision of the TPS-3000 Operations Guide (Doc. 6076), TPS-4000

To determine the location of pin 1, hold the cable so that the end of the
10-pin RJ-45 connector is facing away from you, with the clip side down
and the copper side up. The copper connector on the far left is pin 1.
CAUTION: The 10-pin RJ-45 net/video connector cable supplied by
Crestron is a custom cable and is the only one that should be used. The
end of the cable has a metal shield that is required to protect the
equipment. Using non-Crestron cables will result in damage to the
product.

can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use
the Crestron Power Calculator (www.crestron.com/dealer-
tech_resources/power_calculator.asp) to help calculate how much power
is needed for the system.
CAUTION: Possible equipment damage if miswired.
