Hardware Connections for the TPS-4L
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during
handling. Doing so can crack the screen and damage the touchpanel.
Label the Buttons Use Crestron Engraver software to print custom labels for the TPS-4L’s front panel
buttons and LEDS. Crestron recommends printing on 100-pound paper. Paper
weighing less than 100 pounds will tend to crumple while sliding in, while paper
weighing more than 100 pounds may not fit.
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. Bezels may not provide a
complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the cloth rather than
