SPECIFICATIONS
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Equinox 73-III is compatible with InFusion Design Center version 3.9.2.590 software or higher. For new projects it is recommended
that rmware and software be kept to the most current release.
• Middle to bottom of screen displays widgets (the order may be changed within each prole)
• - Widgets (some widgets require specic Vantage drivers in the Design Center project le):
• Raise/lower dimmable loads and volume control via minus / plus (-/+) graphical buttons
• Graphical icons and text color track load status, orange = ON and white = OFF
• Press and release the upper right section on each widget for additional control and/or personalization
• Manual Reboot of Equinox 73-III – press and hold both mechanical buttons until screen goes dark (about 3 seconds), then
release
• Station reset into Service Mode – simultaneously press and hold both mechanical buttons for ten seconds, then release
- Service mode is automatically used when updating rmware from Design Center
- If the application code is corrupt it may cause the screen to lock, preventing Design Center from updating or reloading the
rmware. Use this option to reboot the screen to service mode allowing Design Center to update the corrupted rmware.
- To manually exit Service Mode use the Manual Reboot of Equinox 73-III option (above)
FEATURES AND OPERATION OVERVIEW (continued)
NOTE: If buttons are held in too long, the screen will boot to Service
Mode, and will not load the application code. Repeat Manual
Reboot – without holding buttons too long – to clear this mode.

The first time the controller is programmed, the Equinox 73-III
device should use the brightness settings specified in the Equinox
Widget Styles object in Design Center. Subsequent controller
program downloads depend on whether or not the Keep DC Profile
Changes and/or Keep Controller Profile Changes check boxes are
checked in Design Center.
• When Keep Controller Profile Changes is checked, it will
retain the brightness settings on the device.
• When Keep DC Profile Changes is checked, it will use the
brightness settings specified in the Equinox Widget Styles
object in Design Center.
• When both Keep DC Profile Changes and Keep Controller
Profile Changes check boxes are checked the two styles will
be merged unless a conflict occurs. Conflicts may then be
corrected before programming continues.
The device screens are accessed by swiping up or down to see all
of the screen choices. The first device screen allows settings for:
• Brightness – Brightness level for active and inactive modes
Brightness Options:
• Auto Mode – Uses ambient light to adjust screen brightness
• Off When Dark – When ambient light is very low the screen
illumination turns off
• Screen Timeout – Adjusts from 1 to 10 minutes
Auto Mode:
• Auto Mode Calibration – These options only appear when the
auto mode box is checked.
• Low Trim – (range 1%-25%) If screen is too dim when used in
a dark room, increase the low trim setting and conversely when
screen is too bright
• Adjust – (range, -5 to +5) If screen is too dim when used in a
moderately lit room, increase the adjust setting and conversely
when screen is too bright
NOTE: Adjustments take a few seconds for the screen brightness to
change. This delay action is deliberate to avoid sudden changes in
screen brightness.
Scroll down to the next device screen for:
Security Sounder Volume (Not included in EQ73TB-TI-III model)
• Set security sound level from 0% to 100% - sound is on the
Equinox security pad display
Proximity Sensitivity
• Adjust value between 1 and 5
• Test by clicking the test circle and moving your hand across the
front of the screen. A green watermark bar appears across the
screen when the sensor activates
Multiple Homes

EQUINOX 73-III MOUNTING RING ADJUSTMENT TOOL
Locate this tool-card shipped with the Equinox 73-III. Inside the wall box is a rectangular ring that must be parallel with the wall
surface and 1” behind the wall surface on the left and right sides. Loosen the two inside screws and use this tool to set the mounting
ring depth at 1”.

SPRING CLIP INSTALLATION
Loosen this screw inside of the wall box
on both sides and slide the mounting
bracket in or out for proper depth
When the Equinox 73-III touchscreen is inserted, the back of the touchscreen’s face is ush with the sheetrock and the spring clip is
securely behind the mounting bracket. If the screen clip is not far enough behind the mounting bracket, then the mounting bracket’s
depth must be moved out, toward the front of the wall box, until the spring clip has a secure grip when the Equinox 73-LCAP
touchscreen is fully inserted into the wall box.

Start with ring level and
then adjust if needed
STEP 2. Insert bracket/bend wings. Place bracket into the
hole and carefully bend the two sides back around to meet the
back of the sheetrock as illustrated. Avoid over bending the
wings. Do not screw sides in until step four.
STEP 3. Secure inside ring. Secure inside ring with the two
screws provided.
STEP 4. Final screws. Secure completed assembly using the
four self tapping screws angled as illustrated – two screws on
each side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
STEP 5. Install the Equinox 73-III touchscreen. The retrot
bracket is now ready to receive an Equinox 73-III touchscreen
by pressing straight back on both sides at the same time until
locked and secure.
EQUINOX 73-III RETROFIT STATION INSTALLATION STEPS
Legrand’s Equinox 73-III retrot install kit is designed to mount the Equinox 73-III touchscreen directly to sheetrock without the
added cost of the bezel, saving time and money. Installation of the Equinox 73-III should be performed or supervised by a certied
installer. Begin by preparing the wall opening. The recommended mounting height is six inches above that of a typical keypad station
or approximately 50” to 58” from the oor to the bottom of the Equinox 73-III touchscreen. However, it may be installed at any height
tting specic custom installation requirements.
NOTE: The installer must provide an Ethernet RJ-45 connection wire. Ethernet cable should be CAT5e or better with PoE or PoE+
support.
STEP 1. Cut the sheetrock. Cut a precise rectangular hole in the sheetrock – 6-3/8” wide x 4-3/8” high (162mm x 111mm).
The hole should be very clean-cut, exact and must be level. Adjustable tolerances are extremely small and extra care should be
taken in cutting the hole out. Adjustment to the inside ring (see gure 1A,) is limited or the edge of the install bracket will show.
a. Fine tune a small amount by tilting the ring slightly to level screen – see gure 1A below; illustration is exaggerated.
