Introduction
This document contains detailed hookup information for the current line of Crestron touchpanels.
Additional information may be found in the specific operations manual for each product, refer to the
Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure to the touchscreen display during handling. Doing so can
crack the screen and damage the touchpanel.
NOTE: To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that exceeds the environmental
range: Temperature: 41° to 113°F (5° to 45°C), Humidity: 10% to 90% RH (non-condensing).
Consideration must be given if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly since the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient.
NOTE: The maximum continuous current from equipment under any external load conditions shall not
exceed a current limit that is suitable for the minimum wire gauge used in interconnecting cables.
The ratings on the connecting unit's supply input should be considered to prevent overloading the
wiring.

USB
USB is a connectivity specification developed by the USB Implementers Forum that provides a single,
simple, standardized way to connect up to 127 devices to a computer. USB shielded cables contain two
wires for power +5 volts (red) and ground (brown) and a twisted pair of wires (yellow and blue) that carry
data. The USB standard supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps (megabits per second). USB devices can
be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer. Two USB 2.0 Type A female USB 2.0 ports
for keyboard, mouse and external storage devices.

NOTE: When inserting a Compact Flash card, orient the card so that the small lip at the top of the card is facing away from the
touchpanel.
The TPMC-8X should be used in a well-ventilated area. To prevent overheating, do not operate this product in an area that
exceeds the environmental temperature range listed in the table of specifications.
When making connections to the TPMC-8X, consider the following: Use the included Crestron power supply for these devices.
The power supply cable cannot be extended.

PHONE
Connect this standard mini phone jack (12 mW, 32 ohm load) to the plug of a 3.5 mm
external headphone set plug (not supplied).
Plugging in the headphone cuts off the speakers.
The headphone output is for WAV and Line audio only. It does not carry the microphone
signal.
Use the AUDIO OUT on the TPMC-CH-IMC for the microphone signal.
MEMORY EXPANSION
The onboard memory may be enhanced with the addition of a Type II
compact flash memory (up to 160 MB).
The flash memory slot is accessible on the rear panel of the unit.
QM IN (QuickMedia Input)
The eight-pin RJ-45 QuickMedia transport port accepts Crestron Certified Wiring
carrying audio, video, and microphone signals.
The QM input port conforms to the 568B wiring standard. Refer to the following table
for connector pinouts.
NOTE: The QM port is not connected through any “IMC” interface.
NOTE: Only one video source may be displayed on the touchpanel at a time.
