Overview
Vantage's Equinox 41 LCD TouchScreen
has been designed to be located in the
same space as a traditional keypad,
installed in a single gang wall box.
Vantage's Equinox 41 uses self discovering
widgets, eliminating countless hours of
tedious programming. Navigate and
control, with real time feedback. Widgets
may be further personalized or additional
controls setup directly on the touchscreen,
by selecting the top right side of each
widget and moving to additional screens of control and/or
setup preferences. The interface uses intuitive gestures; swipe
left and right to change widgets, touch and release for normal
button operation, or press and hold for dim-cycle, volume
controls, etc.
