System Requirements
Equinox 73-II is compatible with InFusion Design Center
version 3.5 software or higher. For new projects it is
recommended that firmware and software be kept to the most
current release.
Installation
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. Installation kits for
Equinox 73-II touchscreens are compatible with global
electrical and installation standards. For new construction or
retrofit installations. Please see the additional installation
sheets*referenced below for Equinox 73-II installation
preparation.
See Standard, Easy Retrofit, and TPT650 retrofit, respectively.
Click on the install method wanted:

Equinox 73 LCD Easy-Retrofit_EQ73ER-INSTALL_install_IS-0697.pdf
Equinox 73 LCD Retrofit_EQ73RT-INSTALL_install_IS-0571.pdf
1. Connect Equinox 73-II to Ethernet PoE and/or other wiring
connection options used in the installation.
2. Insert the Equinox 73-II into the mounting ring from the
mounting option selected.
a. Make sure the Equinox 73-II’s four Spring Clips lock to
mounting option selected, Standard, Easy-Retrofit, or
Retrofit install options.
Configuration
1. Highlight the station in Design Center and click Configure
Stations.
2. Station displays, configure mode / touch to configure.
3. When configured station goes back to ready until
programmed.
-OR-
4. The station may also be configured by typing the serial
number in the project file, using this method the station
will automatically be configured when the system is
programmed.
Device & Info Settings
Device Settings are accessed through the Profile pages.
NOTE: Changes on the device page are specific to the device and are not part of any profile setting.
1. Press the profile button, (my home, upper right, in this example)
2. Press the settings button
3. The first time settings is pressed the screen will go to the dashboard edit
screen.
4. Pressing the upper left area on the dashboard page, opens
the settings thumbnail selections at left.
5. Select the device option from the four choices.
NOTE: The other pages are covered in the Equinox Widgets_install.pdf
installation sheet and in Design Center Help.
The first time the controller is programmed, the Equinox 73-II 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.
6. 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 (via seconds)
*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.
