Wire Harness
TouchOne G3 includes a 4-wire wire harness for connection to power and data (either via a suitable connector or soldering). Power
requirements are listed in the Power Supply section above. The 2-wire data connection is for Certified compatible control systems.
TouchOne Certified compatible power supplies (8PS-PP18xx-1x or 8PS-POE25) include a different wire harness for a tool-less plug-
and-play connection.
Orientation
TouchOne can be mounted in either Landscape or Portrait orientation to provide the best user experience for the applications you will
be using.
Hardware Installation
Step 1 - Install Power Supply
The selected power supply should be installed as per the included instructions. For safety, make sure the power supply is turned off
during the installation process. If you are using the TouchOne Barrel Jack Adaptor, it’s recommended to cable tie the power supply
wire and the barrel jack wire together to ensure they don’t become disconnected during installation.
Some applications will only support one orientation so it’s important to check the orientation compatibility of the apps you
want to use before screwing TouchOne to the wall.

Step 2 - Mark and Drill Holes
Hold the included Wall Mount onto the wall in either Portrait or Landscape, using a spirit level to ensure the mount is level. Mark two
screw holes and the wire cutout using a pencil.
For mounting to plasterboard: Drill two 2.5mm (7/64 inch) pilot holes.
For mounting to masonry: Drill two 6mm (1/4 inch) holes for the included wall anchors.
If the wire is being fed through the wall, drill an appropriately sized hole (at least 20mm or 3/4 inch) in the wire cutout for the wire to
come through.
Step 3 - Screw Mount to Wall
Using the included screws, screw the Wall Mount to the wall. Double check for level when tightening the screws.
Step 4 - Wire and Connect to Power
Bring the power supply wire through the wire cutout and connect to the back of TouchOne.
If mounting to a standard flush box, use the appropriate screw holes for the flush box. 6-32 UNC flush box screws can be used
with the Wall Mount instead of the included screws.

Step 5 - Mount TouchOne
Feed the wire back into the wall and mount TouchOne onto the Wall Mount. Slide TouchOne in the opposite direction of the camera
until you feel a click.
Once you apply power to the power supply, TouchOne will boot automatically. In a successful installation, you’ll see the TouchOne
logo within 3 seconds of applying power.
