Crestron TPS-4500IMC Interface Module
Interface Module: TPS-4500IMC
Description
Functional Description
The TPS-4500IMC is designed specifically to serve as an interface
module for the Crestron TPS-4500 tilt touchpanel. The sleek design of
the touchpanel base left little room for all the connectors that define the
touchpanel's versatility. Furthermore, since the panel is not a stationary
user interface, it is impractical to have an excessive amount of cable
connections directly to the touchpanel. As a result, it was necessary to
connect the touchpanel to an interface module that could offer additional
space for interconnections.
Physical Description
The TPS-4500IMC, shown on the next page, is supplied with every
TPS-4500 tilt touchpanel. The module is housed in a black enclosure
with silk-screened top panel. A network connector and video input
connectors are located on one side of the unit. The opposite side offers a
network/video connection to the touchpanel. At the shorter sides of the
TPS-4500IMC, the enclosure extends to form feet at a right angle to the
side. There are three holes per foot for inserting screws to further
stabilize the unit to a mounting surface.
I/O Ports
There are five I/O ports available on the TPS-4500IMC. Refer to the
diagram on the next page and the following bulleted items for
descriptions of each port.

• NTSC/PAL VIDEO – These three ports are made active with
the purchase and installation of the TPS-VID, composite and
S-video input for TV video card. Consult the latest revision of
the TPS-VID Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 5869) for
details. Use either the two BNC connectors or the six-pin
connector when connecting to a video source.
CAUTION: Except for differential input (balanced) video signal,
the six-pin video connector with jumpers should be installed at all
times. Refer to "Hardware Hookup" beginning on page 5 for
details.
• NET – This four-pin connector is used to connect to other four-
wire devices in the Cresnet system. If making network
connections to Cresnet peripherals, refer to "Network Wiring"
on page 4 for details.

• NET/VIDEO – This 10-position RJ45 mates with the TPS-4500
touchpanel and has a dual purpose. Refer to the descriptions
and pinout table that follow this paragraph.
1. This port provides network connection to the touchpanel.
2. This port also makes available composite or S-video input for
TV video card (with the purchase and installation of the TPS-
VID). Consult the latest revision of the TPS-VID Operations &
Installation Guide (Doc. 5869) for details.

Setup
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 load factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must
be added together to determine the load factor of the entire chain. The
length of the run in feet and the load 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.
LF = Load factor of entire run (or chain).
R < L x LF
40,000 Where:
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value
is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the
table after this paragraph.
Wire Gauge Values
RESISTANCE (R) WIRE GAUGE

618
10 20
15 22
13 24 (Doubled-CAT 5)
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.

Crestron TPS-4500IMC Interface Module
NOTE: When daisy chaining network units, always twist the ends of the
incoming wire and outgoing wire which share a pin on the network
connector. After twisting the ends, tin the twisted connection with solder.
Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far
up or the tinned end becomes brittle and breaks. After tinning the twisted
ends, insert the tinned connection into the network connector and tighten
the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three network
conductors.
Hardware Hookup
The TPS-4500IMC serves as an interface between the touchpanel and the
Cresnet system. Refer to the illustration on the next page for proper
connections; apply power last. When making network connections to the
CNX Generation control system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to "Network
Wiring" on page 4 for details. It is not necessary to make connections to a
video source unless the TPS-VID has been installed into the touchpanel
and a video window object resides on a page within the uploaded
VisionTools™ Pro-e project.

* CONNECT
TO VIDEO
SOURCE
* Connect to a video source only if the TPS-VID expansion card is
installed in the touchpanel. The BNC connector and screw terminal mini
Phoenix connector is connected in parallel. Possible options are no
connection, balance video using twisted pair cable, or unbalanced video
using coax cable. Depending on the option, the two jumpers on the
NTSC/PAL VIDEO six-pin connector remain attached or are removed.
CAUTION: If there is no video, do not make a connection to this port,
but leave connector and jumpers attached to the NTSC/PAL VIDEO six-
pin connector on the TPS-4500IMC. Failure to do so may damage the
TPS-4500IMC.
Video balance is determined by external connections. Refer to the two
diagrams on the next page.
