Applications or Application Requirements
The center of the Touch4 system is the System
Controller (HTC), which communicates with Johnson
Controls and third-party products to enable office
automation and interaction of individual devices.
The Touch4 system is made of a combination of
Johnson Controls or third-party devices that are
controllable using BACNET, TCP/IP, Infrared (IR), RS
232, contacts, relays, WiFi, ZigBee, etc.
The Touch system provides a customizable navigation
device user interface. It has the ability to easily tie all
the devices to the system to easily program
interactions between devices on the system.
On the Touch4 system, you set up the system using
Composer software that resides on the PC. The PC
communicates to the System Controller using a Local
Area Network (TCP/IP). You need to use the Composer
software to define locations, devices, and the
programming interaction between the controllable
system devices on the Touch4 system.
When you arrive on-site, you need to establish a
network connection using your normal method, such as
WiFi (wireless) or Ethernet (Category 5 cable).
You need to place the System Controller at a location
where there is an Ethernet port available to the Local
Area Network, such as a direct connection to the
router, switch, or Ethernet port on the wall.
Software and hardware requirements for setting up a
Touch4 system include:
• System Controller hardware (included)
• PC Software and Hardware

Installing Composer Software
on Personal Computer
When setting up a Touch4 system,
you need to design your system using the Composer
software. The Composer software is installed on your
Personal Computer and communicates to the System
Controller via the TCP/IP-based network. The
Composer software communicates to the System
Controller using the network.
To install Composer software:
1. Ensure that the software and hardware
requirements are met. See “Applications or
Application Requirements” on page 1.
2. Ensure that your PC is connected to the Internet.
3. Launch the Composer installation and follow the
instructions on the Z10 Touch Screen.
4. Follow the instructions on the Z10 Touch Screen to
update to the latest version of Composer.
5. During the installation process, click the Continue
Anyway button for the installation to proceed.
Designing System and Creating Groups and
Users
Designing the system includes using the Composer
software to determine the make up of the Touch4
system. Within the Composer software, you define the
project tree to build the system design. It includes
defining the building, tenants, floors, and areas, and
the devices that you want to control on the system.
You also need to create groups and users at each area
location and define their respective rights to a given
area. Tenants are given the administration rights to
make changes in that domain as defined by building
administrators.
An important part of designing the system is backing up
the design in a project file that you can load later to the
System Controller. See Composer Online help for
information about how to design a Touch4 System.
Installing and Configuring Hardware
In order to use the Touch4™ system to control devices,
you must install the hardware and make physical
connections between devices, then mirror the physical
connections with logical connections in the software
project. Use Table 1, “Connection Worksheet for
System Controller” to plan and make physical
connections and then make the logical connections

• Using BACnet port
• Connecting to the Relay Port
• Setting Up IR Emitters
• Using USB Port to Set up External Storage Device
• Using Video Sense Loops
Using Pluggable Terminal Block Connectors
For the Contact, Relay, and BACNET ports, the System
Controller makes use of a pluggable terminal block
connector—a removable plastic part to lock in
individual wires. This connector is included.
To connect a device to the Pluggable Terminal Block:
1. Insert one of the wires required for your device into
the appropriate opening in the Pluggable Terminal
Block you reserved for that device (refer to Table 1
on page 4).
2. Lower the openings latch until it locks the wire in
place.
3. Repeat Steps 1-2 for all wires required for your
device.
Using BACnet/FLBus ports
The System Controller provides one BACnet® Network
port (labeled RS-485/FC-Bus as a subset of the
pluggable terminal block provided). See the following
figure to determine how to connect to this port.
Figure 1: BACnet (RS-485/FC Bus) Port
For example, to install a BACnet Networked
Thermostat:
1. Install the BACnet® Networked Thermostat and
wire the thermostat’s MS/TP Communications Bus
according to documentation provided and the MS/
TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LT-
12011034).
2. Connect the communication wires from the
thermostat to the System Controller as follows.

Setting Up IR Emitters
Your system might contain products that are controlled
with IR commands (usually through remote controls).
Note: IR emitters sold separately in the “Media
Package.”
To provide a way for the System Controller to control a
device that only recognizes IR commands, complete
the following setup:
1. Plug the 3.5 mm connector end of one of the 6 IR
stick-on emitters into an IR Out port on the System
Controller.
2. Place the stick-on emitter end over the IR receiver
on the media player, TV, or other target device to
transmit IR signals from the System Controller to
the target.
Using USB Port to Set up External Storage
Device
When using the System Controller as the primary
System Controller in the office, from the USB port (on
the back), you can store and access media from an
external storage device, such as a network hard drive
or USB memory device.
3. For more information, see the Composer online help
topic: “Use External Storage Devices.”
Using Video Sense Loops
Video sensing can enhance the ability to sense the
power state of a device, such as whether the device is
“on” or “off.” If you need to add video signal sensing
capabilities for a video device (such as a TV, VCR,
DVD player, etc.), connect one of the device’s
composite Video Out ports to a System Controller
Video Sense In port. Then, use the companion Video
Sense Out port (where available) for the device’s video
out as needed.
For Video Sense only (no loop-through), connect a
device’s Composite Video Out port to one of the two
Video Sense In ports.
