Before You Begin | IntroductionEN-8 Manual | TouchMonitor TMR7 | TMR7OEM
Before You Begin
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a TouchMonitor TMR7 or TMR7OEM.
Loudness, true peak, PPM, audio vectorscope, moving-coil instru-
ments, RTA, and correlation: The TMR7 TouchMonitor 4-channel
solutions featuring 7“ touchscreen and the unique TouchMonitor ope-
rating concept integrate all metering options required in radio broad-
casting to a solution made to measure.

EN-9Manual | TouchMonitor TMR7 | TMR7OEM Before You Begin | Introduction
EN
Simple and flexible
The graphical user interface used in the TouchMonitor range is con-
trolled simply by using your finger or a mouse. Instruments can be
scaled, randomly positioned and combined in almost every way for
optimized use of available screen space. Even multiple instruments of
the same type, assigned to different input channels and configurations,
can be displayed simultaneously. A context-sensitive, on-screen help
feature and the intuitive operatable menu system supports the user,
allowing him to make setup changes with ease.
Audio I/O interface
TMR7‘s hardware and software are perfectly adjusted to radio-broad-
cast requirements and easily integrates into any studio environments.
The four audio inputs provided by the two AES3 XLR ports are flexib-
ly configurable for mono, stereo, or multichannel sources, providing
separate instruments for each source. So TMR7 allows parallel moni-
toring of the on-air signal and a PFL source.
Licences
A totally modular software concept means that you only have to
purchase features that you actually require. This puts you in control,
defining the functionality of a TouchMonitor that suits your needs
best. New instruments and functions can be added as software
modules to the device at any time. Simply purchase and activate the
corresponding licence.
Many display functions are available to choose from: the Real-Time
Analyzer (RTA), loudness meters compliant to all relevant loudness
standards, LRA and Chart, and the Premium PPM including Audio
Vectorscope and Moving Coil instruments.

Installation
The TouchMonitor TMR7 table-top unit is designed for free positioning
on tables, desks, et. al. The OEM version TMR7OEM is designed for
panel-mounting e. g. into mixing consoles. This version also can be
mounted into common 19“/3U racks using optional mounting adapter
TM7-MA3U or into standard 19“ rack-mount cabinets for video racks
using optional mounting adapter TM7-MAVID. With mounting adapter
TM7-MADT, the OEM version can be remodelled to a table-top unit.
All necessary power supply voltages are supplied through the +24 V
DC - 1 A connector. Use with power supply model ATS 065T-P/
A240, manufactured by Adapter Technology Co Ltd. (which is the
external power supply unit RTW 1178-R wide voltage power supply,
included in TMR7 package, optional for TMR7OEM). The units fea-
ture a 7“ VGA 16 : 9 touch screen.
Optional an external standard16 : 9 VGA monitor can be connected
for external reading of the display.
Optional an external computer mouse or a Wacom® graphics tablet
can be connected to one of the USB interfaces.
The other ports and interfaces are connected with the appropriate
standard connection cables.
ATTENTION – Please read before installing:
• Before installing the unit please study the safety instructions and
the information on connection and pin assignment.
• An external overcurrent protective device (2 A max.) shall be
installed when using an external 24 V DC power supply!
• Make sure that the delivered power supply unit is not connected.
• Place the unit at a suited place or mount it acc. to the system re-
quirements for OEM.
• Connect your signal sources and all your other components to the
appropriate connectors, using the correct standard connection
cables for the components. Take care about the pin assignment!
• Optionally, connect an external standard 16 : 9 VGA monitor to
the VGA output, using a standard VGA connection cable. The VGA
cable shall be of 15 m maximum length.
• Finally, connect the locking 4-pin low voltage connector of the ex-
ternal power supply to the +24 V DC - 1 A connector on the rear.
Connect the external power supply to mains.
• The TouchMonitor will initiate its system startup sequence. After
the boot-up the unit is ready for use.

Getting Started
System Start-up
Before connecting the TouchMonitor to the power supply, please
make sure, that the following connections are made according to
your unit (TM7, TMR7, TM9, or corresponding models) and to your
individual needs:
• Analog and/or digital audio input signals (depending on the hard-
ware configuration of your unit)
• Digital outputs (if available)
• Optional external standard 16 : 9 VGA monitor (not TMR7 Smart)
• Optional USB mouse
• LAN/Ethernet (if needed)
• Power supply
When the TouchMonitor is connected to the power supply, it will ini-
tiate its system startup sequence. After the boot-up the unit is ready
for use.
We assume that you are starting your TouchMonitor for the first time.
You now should make some global settings to adopt the unit to your
audio system. After this short procedure you can create your first pre-
set to work with.
NOTE - The figures in the following paragraphs may show so-
me options that are not available on your unit. The scope of available
options depends on model (TM7, TMR7, TM9, or corresponding mo-
dels), hardware configuration, and activated licences resp. installed
software.
