TUXEDOW INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
1
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
This guide provides information to install and set-up Resideo’s TUXEDOW Home Automation and Security System. The
TUXEDOW is an Advanced User Interface (AUI) device, which combines wireless home automation and security. The
TUXEDOW connects to a VISTA®series control panel via the keypad (ECP) terminals or used as a stand-alone unit for
automation purposes.
TUXEDOW Features
Feature
Description
Local Wi-Fi
Access
The TUXEDOW keypad contains a built-in web server, which allows local Wi-Fi access to the
system via any web-enabled device. In addition, a user account can be set up, which provides a
user name and password login before entering the TUXEDOW home screen to protect against
unauthorized access. It also provides Over the Air (OTA) updates to the keypad
Resideo
Total Connect™
Remote Services
TUXEDOW supports Remote Services for controlling Z-Wave devices and scenes remotely from
an associated Total Connect™ account (contact an AlarmNet® representative to open an
account if necessary).
With TUXEDOW automation, Z-Wave devices can be controlled from a smart phone, iPad®,
Android
TM
Tablet, or PC using Total Connect.
Remote Access
(Port Forwarding)
TUXEDOW’s remote access option allows the user to access TUXEDOW’s menus directly via
the Internet when away from home. Port forwarding setup in the router is required. Up to five
user logins available. Refer to the router’s instructions for details on port forwarding.
Z-Wave Devices
TUXEDOW supports various Z-Wave devices, including lamp modules, dimmer modules, door
locks, thermostats, water valves, garage door controllers and shade openers.
Automation
Scenes
Define system actions for automatic start and stop parameters when certain conditions occur.
Supports up to 10 scenes locally and 20 remotely through Total Connect.
Cameras
View up to four cameras at the same time with a maximum enrollment of 32 cameras.
Video
View videos from the Home screen. A video converter is required, requires .avi, .ts, .mpg, .mp4,
.mov, .mkv, or .flv format for playback.

MOUNTING
TUXEDOW is for indoor use within the protected area only and should be mounted at a comfortable viewing level. Avoid
mounting in areas of high condensation such as bathrooms or in locations where bright light or sunlight shines directly on the
screen. TUXEDOW mounts directly to the wall.
1. Select a mounting location.
2. Detach the mounting plate as shown.
To remove the Touchscreen from its
mounting location, insert the end of a
screwdriver between the plate and the
touchscreen and twist to loosen and pull
out to remove.
3. Use the mounting plate to mark the location
of the mounting holes on the mounting
surface and check for level.
4. Secure the mounting plate to a mounting
surface using 4 screws (supplied).
5. Insert bottom edge of Touchscreen over
the mounting plate and then click in the top
edge to snap into place.
6. Install the cover securing screw at the
bottom of the device to secure. The bottom
securing screw must be installed.
NOTE:
If mounting on a surface where the wire cannot be
inserted through the hole in the mounting bracket,
knockouts have been provided to run the wires
through the sides. They are on all four sides. To
knock them out, before mounting flip over the
mounting plate and, using a pair of pliers, remove
the plastic to make room for the wire.

WIRING
ECP Wire Limitations
Connect keypads and other addressable devices as shown in “Supplementary Power Supply Connections” section. The table
below establishes ECP device wire gauge and maximum wire length:
Wire Gauge
Length
#22 gauge
150 feet
#20 gauge
240 feet
#18 gauge
350 feet
#16 gauge
550 feet
TUXEDOW draws up to 270mA at 12VDC. If you power TUXEDOW
from your panel’s Aux Power output, check your panel’s Installation
and Setup Guide and verify that this device and others do not
exceed your panel's Aux Power output capability. If it does, a
supplementary power supply is needed.
NOTE: If more than one TUXEDOW is wired to one run, then the maximum lengths must be divided by the number of
keypads on the run. (e.g., the maximum length is 75 feet if two TUXEDOWs are wired on a #22-gauge run).
Supplementary Power Supply Connections
NOTE: Unshielded 4-conductor cable is recommended for the power/data wire.
UL
Use a UL Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations. The battery supplies power to these keypads in
case of AC power loss. The battery-backed power supply should have enough power to supply the keypads
with the UL required minimum standby power time.
IMPORTANT: Touchscreens powered from supplies that do not have a backup battery do not function if AC
power is lost. Make sure to power at least one Touchscreen in each partition from the control’s auxiliary power
output or UL Listed battery backed up power supply.
IMPORTANT: When the Touchscreen is powered from an auxiliary power supply, always apply power to the control
panel first and then the Touchscreen. Failure to observe this sequence results in improper operation of the Touchscreen
and may result in an ECP Error indication.
NOTE:Supplementary external power supply must be Listed to UL 603 for UL installations, CAN/ULC-S318 for cUL
installations, and capable of providing the required backup power.
Connect the wires to the Touchscreen terminal block as shown.
•Connect the Touchscreen in parallel with touchscreens and other peripheral devices using the touchscreen data (ECP)
bus.
•DO NOT use several hardwired motion detectors in high traffic locations.
•UL Notes:For residential burglar alarm applications, the entry delay time shall not exceed 15 seconds, therefore use is
restricted to compatible listed control panels capable of being programmed for this time parameter.
Connect only keypads to: Aux. + / Aux. - and Data input / Data output.
Resetting the Touchscreen
To reset the Touchscreen, touch and hold the side Power button for 3 seconds and then touch the “Touch here to Reset”
message on the screen to start the reset function. The Touchscreen can also be reset by touching and holding the reset button
for approximately 15 seconds until the touchscreen resets automatically.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL PANEL
Conventional Programming Methods
The keypad is not fully operational unless its address in the control panel has been enabled (set as an alpha console)
AUI type device, and assigned to a partition (where applicable). For a list of compatible alarm systems, refer to the
Control Panel Compatibility table for the quantity of TUXEDOW’s that may be used and the required control panel’s
software revision level.
We recommend that you use either a standard alpha keypad or the TUXEDOW in Console Emulation Mode when
programming the control panel. When in the Console Mode, the TUXEDOW emulates an alpha keypad and the
programming of the control panel is performed following the procedures provided in your control panel’s Installation and
Setup Guide.
NOTE:
When programming your control panel, if you change the zone types for your emergency zones you may disable the
emergency icons in the keypad. The emergency icons in the keypad are active for zone types 06 (Silent Panic Button),
and 07 (Panic Button), 08 (Medical Button), and 09 (Fire Button). Additionally, the Medical button is also compatible with
a zone type 15 (24-Hour Medical) for control panels that contain this zone type.
Residential Control Panels
Residential Control Panels consist of the VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, and VISTA-21IP and equivalents.
•Addresses one and two are enabled by default. If the defaults have been changed, enable these addresses (in field
*189) using an alpha-keypad and the Data Field Programming procedures located in the panel Installation and Setup
Guide.
•If using Resideo Total Connect™ Remote Services, (here in referred to as Total Connect):
oResideo residential control panel revision 9.18 (3.13 for the Vista-21IP) and under must program the Remote
Interactive Service option in the second location in *91 to a 2 (by default location 1 is set to 8, so the entry would
be *91=82)
oResideo residential control panel revision 10.0 (4.21 for the Vista-21IP) and higher always supports the RIS
option, hence there is no programming location to enable.
Vista-Turbo Commercial Control Panels
The commercial family consist of the VISTA-128BPT, VISAT-250BPT and VISTA-128FBT, VISTA-250FBPT, 32FBPT or
equivalent.
•Any address 1-30 can be used for an AUI keypad, the Vista-Turbo control panels can support up to 6 AUI keypads.
•If using Total Connect the RIS option must be enabled in the panel. This is enabled by setting the device type to 12
for the address. Refer to the AlarmNet Communicator to determine which address to use.
Important Notes:
•The RIS option must be enabled in the AlarmNet Communicator. Failure to do so will prevent control of the
automation devices enrolled in the keypad from Total Connect.
•The Keypad should not be assigned as a Master Console.
Quick Programming (VIP Mode)
TUXEDOW supports Quick Programming VIP (VISTA®Intelligent Programming) mode when used with a control panel
that supports this feature. Check the control panels manual to see if it supports this function and for further instructions.
See the Quick Programming section for more information.

1: Operational Mode Setup
Languages
The option for English is defaulted and non-selectable. This is
there for future updates.
Operating Modes
Normal Mode
Normal Mode is used for Resideo security control integration.
Safe Mode
The Safe Mode may be automatically entered by the program
on a communication failure or may be entered manually on
command.
To Enter Safe Mode:
1. Select Safe Mode > Apply > OK.
2. To exit, touch safe mode bar then touch YES to return to Normal Mode.
•While in the Safe Mode, the Home screen displays the Security, Panic, and Message Icon. A message ! SAFE

•TUXEDOW resets and restarts in the Safe Mode.
In the rare event that TUXEDOW cannot successfully communicate in its graphic mode with the control panel, the Safe
Mode is a backup mode that ensures that you can communicate with your system.
In this mode, TUXEDOW operates much like a standard non-graphic keypad so that you can control your system until the
problem is corrected.
If this situation occurs, TUXEDOW presents you with a message of “Problems detected. Start Keypad in Safe Mode?”
and requests a YES or NO response. If you answer with Yes, TUXEDOW enters into the Safe Mode. If you answer with
NO, TUXEDOW tries to communicate with the panel again. After three consecutive times of receiving no response,
TUXEDOW enters the Safe Mode automatically.
Note that this is a limited mode of operation. While in this mode:
•You can use Security to access the Console Emulation Mode of operation to try to clear your faults, disarm the
system, or enter additional Alpha Keypad commands specified in your panel User Guide. You can perform almost all
functions that you can perform from a standard non-graphic alpha keypad.
•You can touch the “Panic” key and generate Emergency Messages as defined in the panel’s home partition for this
keypad.
•The LED on the front of the keypad indicates TUXEDOW’s home partition status. The Message LED (on models with
Voice feature) or Trouble LED (on models without Voice feature) is not active in the Safe Mode.
•The Chime mode functions in the Safe Mode, however, you do not have Voice (system status messages), Voice
Chime (announcements) or Message capability (if set to default “Master”).
•Z-Wave Scenes do not function in Safe Mode.
•When an alarm occurs in the Safe Mode, it is displayed on the Console mode screen only and is not shown on the
Home screen.
•The Slide Show feature does not start automatically in Safe Mode.
To Exit the Safe Mode:
1. Touch the ! SAFE MODE ! bar .
2. Touch YES to return to Normal Mode. TUXEDOW resets and normal operation returns as long as the original conditions
that caused the entry into Safe Mode do not still exist.

NOTES:
1. The TUXEDOW ECP address (1-30) is defaulted to one; the RIS Automation address (1-30) is defaulted to 25. The ECP
& RIS addresses can also be set later using the ECP Address menu from the CS Setup menu.
2. If “ECP Error” is displayed, there is an ECP address issue, there is a wiring issue, or Primary RIS is enabled and it is
conflicting with Total Connects RIS feature. “ECP Error” can be present because of the following:
a. Incorrect or conflicting ECP address
b. Device programming on the panel has not been configured
c. Incorrect wiring, wiring issues preventing data voltage getting to the keypad, refer to the Wiring section for more
information.
d. If using an auxiliary power supply, you must have a common ground from negative on the power supply to the negative
on the control panel. Failure to do so will result with “ECP Error.”
3. The default installer code is “4140.” This code is valid from Commercial control panels or if the keypad is in “ECP Error.”
Once connected to a control panel, or the ECP Error has cleared, the TUXEDOW will synchronize with the Installer Code
programmed in the control panel. To enter installer level program, after the synchronization, the panel’s installer code will
be used.
Changing the ECP Address
From the Home screen, touch Setup > System Setup > CS Setup > enter your Authorized Code, if required > ECP
Address > Select the ECP address for this keypad.
The available ECP addresses are:
1-2, 5-6: for VISTA Plus series controls
1-30: for the VISTA Turbo series controls supports six AUIs.
RIS Automation ECP Address
If using Remote Services, set the RIS address to the appropriate RIS address used for Total Connect. This is programmed in
the panel prior the TUXEDOW setup. To change the address, perform the following:
Touch ECP Address > select RIS Automation ECP Addr for this keypad. The available RIS addresses are (1-30) and the
default is 25.
NOTES:
•If this is the primary, RIS address (NOT using Total Connect), select the Primary RIS Device checkbox and touch Apply.
(Warning the Primary RIS check box is only for use when Total Connect is NOT used, if Total Connect is used,

“Primary RIS Device.”
IMPORTANT: In order for local Z-Wave scenes to function, your VISTA system requires one RIS automation device (keypad
or AlarmNet device). If Radio module is setup with VISTA panel then it is recommended to leave the "Primary RIS" option
un-checked on TUXEDOW unit. If Radio module is not setup with VISTA panel then ensure only one TUXEDOW unit is
enabled with the "Primary RIS" option checked.
•If using remote services, one of the touch-screen device (AUI) addresses is used by the control panel. Refer to control
panel Instructions for specific configuration.
•On initial setup, the TUXEDOW will configure panel data, and then direct you to the Honeywell Home Privacy Statement
and End-User License Agreement.
3: Honeywell Home End User License Agreement (EULA)
The EULA displays and gives you the option to “Accept” or “Remind Me After 2 Hours.” (NOTE: The TUXEDOW requires an
acceptance acknowledgement. If not accepted by the third attempt, skipping EULA is not an option (only “ACCEPT” is
available or Remind Me In 2 Hours) and the Wi-Fi Setup option appears.
NOTE: The EULA can be reviewed by selecting Setup > System Setup >Advanced Setup.
