15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel:
Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
Description
Functional Description
The Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L is a 15-inch (38.1-cm) XGA (1024 x 768) display
suitable for lectern or wall mount in any Crestron remote control system (herein
referred to as the Cresnet system). The unit operates in a 16-bit graphics mode
(65,536 colors); palettes are not required. When displaying video or RGB sources
with the appropriate expansion card installed, the TPS-6000L can display up to
262,144 colors. There are two TPS-6000L models. The only difference between the
two units is that one has a black bezel (TPS-6000LB) and the other has a white bezel
(TPS-6000LW).
The purpose of the TPS-6000L touchpanel is to replace large, complicated hard-
wired panels in either a Cresnet system or an RS-232 system with a series of simpler
screens each specific to the control problem at hand. Thus, very large number of
functions can be made available to the user without the confusion associated with
hardware panels of that complexity. Icons, graphics, and text can dramatically
increase any user's comprehension of the control environment. Devices, functions,
and control zones are quickly organized and more easily accessed. The TPS-6000L
touchpanels offer:
• Three non-interchangeable card slots for expansion
• Memory upgrade
• Built-in microphone and speakers for sound
• Pop-up sub panels to reduce memory requirements, providing optimal
speed and performance

Expansion Slots
Each TPS-6000L has three dedicated slots for additional functionality. The slots are
empty with blank cover plates. Cards are purchased separately. Installation
instructions are provided with each card. Each card features the following:
• TPS-ENETL – a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet card provides Ethernet
capability to the touchpanel.
• TPS-VIDL – a TV video digitizer card that allows NTSC/PAL video
to be played in a window on the touchpanel or full screen.
• TPS-XVGAL – a RGB digitizer that scan converts a computer source
up to 1280 x 1024 at 60 Hz (110 Hz @ 640 x 480) vertical rate to a
window on the touchpanel or full screen.
NOTE: The three cards are NOT interchangeable.
Memory
The TPS-6000L ships with 8MB of flash and 8MB of DRAM. Additional memory
(purchased separately) can be installed in the field. The flash can be replaced with
modules of up to 64MB. The DRAM module can be replaced with modules up to
32MB. Installation instructions are provided with each memory module.
Sound
The TPS-6000L has four built-in speakers with power amplifiers. Sound can be
generated by the panel by using downloaded wave files (.WAV) or can be mixed in
from an external line level audio source. The audio amplifiers output two watts per
channel. Refer to "Appendix A: WAV File Audio Messages" on page 28 for WAV
file details. There is a built-in microphone in the touchpanel, which is amplified to
produce a line level differential output. The microphone amplifier has two modes,
AGC or fixed gain. The AGC is selectable using an internal join number, refer to
"Reserved Join Numbers" on page 24.
I/O Connectors
All totaled, there are 13 potential I/O connectors available on the TPS-6000L. Four
of the 13 connectors are resident on the touchpanel as shipped from Crestron. The
remaining nine connectors are optional and require the additional purchase and
installation of expansion cards.
The resident connectors are:
• NET – The port mates with a four-pin connector, supplied, and is used
to connect the touchpanel to other four-wire devices in the Cresnet
system. If making network connections to the Cresnet peripherals, refer

As of the date of manufacture, the touchpanel has been tested and found to comply
with specifications for CE marking.
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Installation/Setup
Identity Code
Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique identity
code (NET ID). These codes are assigned a two-digit hexadecimal number from 03
to FE. Refer to "Setup Menu" on page 11 for instructions on setting the unit's NET
ID. The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL
Windows program. Refer to "Programming with SIMPL™ Windows" on page 20
for a sample.
Recommended Cleaning
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. Remove bezels to clean entire
touchscreen surface. Apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than the surface of
the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid ingress of moisture within the
panels.
Network Wiring
NOTE: When making wire connections, refer to the latest revision of the Cresnet
Network Interconnect Drawing (Doc. 5411). The document can be obtained from the
Downloads page (CABLES and MANUAL Libraries) of the Crestron website
(www. crestron.com). Search for the CRESNET.PDF files.
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 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 = Resistance (refer to table below).
L = Length of run (or chain) in feet.
PF = Power factor of entire run (or chain).
R < L x PF

8.7 Tripled CAT5
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: 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-6000L touchpanel installs simply and cleanly into existing or newly
constructed walls, with back box and drywall mounting options.
Back Box Mounting
Back box mounting is typically used at new construction sites. The optional back
box, BB-6000, includes the necessary hardware, brackets and electrical box, which
provides a secure enclosure that, can be fastened directly to a stud. The details for
this optional mounting method are provided in the latest revision of the BB-6000
Installation Guide (Doc. 5826). After completing the steps in the installation guide,
simply mate the four posts of the bezel with the holes drilled into the mounting
surface and firmly press the bezel over the touchpanel.
NOTE: The mounting hardware and accessories supplied with the TPS-6000L are

Configuring the Touchpanel
To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to
viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation.
The Main Menu for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the
touchscreen as power is applied. Remove your finger when the message "SETUP
MODE" appears on the touchscreen. Holding a finger to the touchscreen for five
seconds after the "SETUP MODE" message is displayed sets the brightness to high.
Upon entering SETUP MODE, the Main Menu, shown after this paragraph, displays
four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run Program, Setup, and
Diagnostics.
Main Menu
The Exit and Run Program button verifies that all of the setup information has
been saved to EEPROM and displays the main page that has been programmed into
your system. The remaining buttons on the Main Menu open other menus, which are
discussed in subsequent paragraphs.
Calibration Menu
Calibration of the touchscreen is required if the active touch area of a button does not
coincide with the button's image. Select the Touch Screen Calibration button to
display the Calibration Menu, shown after this paragraph. The Calibration Menu
offers the choice to initiate calibration with the Perform Calibration button or
return to the previous screen with the Return button. Choose an option by touching

Main Menu.
Operations Guide - DOC. 5825 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L •11

15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
Setup Menu
NOTE: All touchpanel settings, except those menus with a Save and Return
button, are automatically saved in non-volatile memory.
Standby Timeout
The touchpanel display can be turned off (standby mode) when not in active use.
STANDBY TIMEOUT,located in the middle of the Setup Menu, can turn off the
touchpanel when it is inactive for a specified time frame (minutes, shown as XXX in
the illustration). When the touchpanel is activated, the last screen to be displayed
reappears. Minutes can vary from 0 to 120, where 0 disables the timeout. DOWN
and UP buttons decrease and increase the timeout, respectively.
Brightness
Screen brightness may need to be altered because of ambient light conditions or
personal preference. BRIGHTNESS, located in the lower left corner of the Setup
Menu, can change the brightness level of the display. The current brightness setting
is shown as a percentage in the Setup Menu (e.g., 99% brightness is shown in the
illustration). Percentage can vary from 0% (low brightness) to 100% (full
brightness). DOWN and UP buttons decrease and increase the brightness,
respectively.
Panel Tracking
Panel tracking is a useful communication feature between touchpanels when more
than one touchpanel exists on the network. Two buttons centrally located in the
bottom row of the Setup Menu control panel tracking. Button selection is indicated
by red text. When the Enable Panel Tracking button is selected, a given touchpanel
maintains communication in such a way that a page change to any touchpanel on the
network forces the same page change to all enabled touchpanels. Panel tracking is
disabled for a given touchpanel when the Disable Panel Tracking button is selected.
When disabled a given touchpanel does not respond to page changes made to other
touchpanels on the network. Panel tracking is factory set with the Disable Panel
Tracking button selected.
Ethernet
NOTE: The Ethernet button is displayed on the Setup Menu only if the
TPS-ENETL is properly installed.

Operations Guide - DOC. 5825 15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel: Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L •13

15 Inch Lectern Touchpanel Crestron Isys™ TPS-6000L
hexadecimal number can range from 03 to FE and must correspond to the NET ID
set in the SIMPL Windows program of the Cresnet system. Matching IDs between
touchpanel and SIMPL Windows program is required if data is to be successfully
transferred. NET ID is factory set to 03.
Two side-by-side buttons beneath the hexadecimal display, DOWN and UP,
decrease and increase the ID by one, respectively.
The touchpanel usually communicates with a Cresnet system. Occasionally the
touchpanel can be used in a demo mode where it merely displays various menus, but
does not communicate with Cresnet II system. In demo mode, the directory buttons
change pages, but buttons requiring feedback do not work. Two side-by-side buttons
above the CRESNET ID, Enable CRESNET II and Disable CRESNET II,
determine communication mode. Select Enable CRESNET II for normal Cresnet
communication mode and Disable CRESNET II to set the touchpanel into demo
mode. Text within the selected button changes color from black to red.
Communication mode is factory set to Enable CRESNET II.
There may be Ethernet devices on the network that communicate with the control
system via CIP (Cresnet Internet Protocol). Two buttons in the top left corner of the
Interface Menu determines if the touchpanel is capable of this type of
communication. Select Enable CIP to permit this protocol recognition and Disable
CIP to prohibit any CIP connection.
The Interface Menu allows for four RS-232 communication options: console (i.e.,
loading programs), control (i.e., non-Crestron device), mouse input, or external touch
screen input. The four buttons in the upper right corner of the menu are available for
selection.
Crestron suggests that even if there is no intent to use the RS-232 port, the user
should select one of the four RS-232 communication options. Crestron recommends
the default, RS-232 Port for Console, if the port is not being used. If the panel is not
operating within a Cresnet system, it is possible to use Control or perhaps CIP
(Ethernet). Some advanced users may combine Control or CIP with Cresnet. Text
within selected buttons change color from black to red.
It is possible to maintain touchpanel control (with the Touch Screen Input button)
while communicating via RS-232 with the console or non-Crestron device. Text
within the selected button changes color from black to red. The Touch Screen Input
button is repeated on the RS-232 Menu for convenience.
Select the Save and Return button, located at the bottom right corner of the
Interface Menu, after interface parameters have been set.
RS-232 Menu
RS-232 parameters, shown after this paragraph, must be set when communicating via
the RS-232 port. Options for baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, and handshaking
are available. Text within the selected button changes color from black to red.

The Audio button, centrally located on the top row of the Setup Menu, is used to
display the Audio Menu, shown after this paragraph. Use this screen to activate
sounds (recorded WAV files or line level input from an external source) and audible
key clicks on each individual touchpanel. This feature is a useful feedback tool or
can enhance a custom interface.
Audio Menu
Volume (for each audio type) is controlled with the up and down arrow buttons in
the first row. For example, the WAV File Volume value is shown as a red bar graph
and is controlled with the WAV down and WAV up arrow buttons. Line and key
click volume is similarly adjusted.
Balance (for each audio type) is controlled with the <and >arrow buttons in the
third row. For example, the WAV File Balance value is shown as a red bar graph
and is controlled with the WAV < and WAV >arrow buttons. Line balance is
similarly adjusted.

audio messages can provide that custom interface with a touchpanel, assuming this
feature is enabled. To enable this feature, verify that the WAV On button is active
(red text). An active WAV Off button disables the feature. Refer to "Appendix A:
WAV File Audio Messages" on page 28 for WAV files.
Line level audio is possible only when enabled and the proper external connections
are made. Refer to "I/O Connectors" on page 2 for information about the AUDIO
INPUT port. To enable this feature, verify that the Line On button is active (red
text). An active Line Off button disables the feature.
Confirmation of a button press on a touchpanel is acknowledged by an audible click
assuming this feature is enabled. To enable this feature, verify that the Key Click On
button is active (red text). An active Key Click Off button disables the feature.
NOTE: If key click is enabled on a touchpanel, each press of the touchpanel results
in an audible click. It may be desirable to conceal the key click sound for certain
buttons (e.g., if the button triggers playing of a WAV file). Using VT Pro-e, the
panel designer has the option to suppress the key click on a button-by-button basis
from the "Button Properties" dialog.
It is possible to enable/disable all audio types (WAV, line, and key click) with the
press of a single button. The All Audio On and All Audio Off buttons allow for
global muting. Select the All Audio On button to enable audio; select the All Audio
Off button to disable audio.
The built-in microphone AGC mode can be controlled with two buttons on the Audio
Menu: Mic Audio AGC On and Mic Audio AGC Off.
Select the Default Settings button to restore all Audio Menu buttons and settings to
a factory-adjusted preset. Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner
of the Audio Menu, after audio parameters have been set.
RGB Menu
NOTE: The RGB button is displayed on the Setup Menu only if the TPS-XVGAL
is properly installed. Selection of the RGB button opens the RGB Menu from which
the user can adjust RGB settings.
The TPS-6000L can display a computer-generated video format. The type of format
must be selected carefully or the video may appear unstable or noisy. Selecting the
RGB button, located to the right on the top row of the Setup Menu, displays the
RGB Menu, shown after this paragraph.
