• 802.11a/n/ac 5 GHz

• Security: WEP, WPA/WPA2 PSK, 802.1x EAP, PEAP

Notes: (1) While technically the touchscreen can

use 802.11b, 802.11b is not supported. (2) 802.11n is

recommended for best performance. Even with 802.11n,

broadcasting to several devices will degrade Video

Intercom response time and images. Broadcasting to

additional devices will further degrade performance. See

Installation Guide

Requirements

Network

• If using Ethernet: Ethernet network installed and available that

includes a gateway/router/switch. One Ethernet Cat 5/6 cable

that runs from the Ethernet gateway/router/switch to the Ethernet

connection in the touchscreen’s wall box.

• If using Wi-Fi: Wireless network (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) installed and

available with a wireless access point (AP). Security can be WEP,

WPA/WPA2 PSK, 801.1x EAP, or PEAP.

Power

• If using PoE:

• Control4 PoE Injector (model #AC-POE1-B) or another third-

party, UL/ANSI-certiﬁed PoE injector or switch.

• Two Ethernet Cat 5/6 cables: (1) one that runs from the

Ethernet gateway/router/switch to the PoE injector/switch and

(2) one that runs from the PoE injector/switch to the Ethernet

connection in the touchscreen’s wall box.

• If using AC:

• Access to in-wall AC power (neutral connection required).

• A 14-gauge electrical wire long enough to pull between the

touchscreen and the power source.

Warning! Use 16 AWG through 10 AWG only

AVERTISSEMENT ! Utiliser 16 AWG par 10 AWG uniquement.

Warning! For supply connections, use wires suitable for at

least 60 °C (140 °F)

AVERTISSEMENT ! Utiliser des ﬁls convenant à une

température de 60 °C pour les connexions dalimentation.

Touchscreen placement

Place the touchscreen in a convenient location at eye level, typically

near the entrance of the room, about 145 to 155 cm (57 to 61 inches)

from the ﬂoor (Figure 1).

Note: Consider the camera on the panel and the height of

the people in the home who will use the camera for Video

Intercom.

Important: The top of the touchscreen must be mounted no

higher than 2 m (6.6 ft.) above the ﬂoor.

Important : Le haut de l’écran tactile ne doit pas être monté à

plus de 2 m (6,6 pi) au-dessus du sol.

Figure 1: Touchscreen placement

Installation

Important! Before you can complete the instructions below,

you must have an 8" or 10" Touchscreen wall box installed

according to the documentation provided in the wall box kit.

See “Accessories” for details.

Important ! Avant de lire les instruction ci-dessous, il vous

faut un support mural installé suivant la documentation

fournie avec le kit du support mural. Plus de détails dans la

partie << Accessoires >>.

Important! When cutting the opening for the wall box, do not

cut the opening too large. Be conservative and cautiously

enlarge it as needed.

Important ! En coupant l’ouverture pour le support mural,

ne faites pas une ouverture trop grande. Soyez prudent, et

agrandissez la avec précaution.

Power and network installation options

This device uses an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network connection and can be

powered using PoE or AC power. Whichever method you use, you need

to install only one cable going to the power box.

Choose one of the following options to install the power and network

communication.

Option 1: PoE power and Ethernet

PoE supplies DC power on the Ethernet cable using a PoE Injector

(model #AC-POE1-B) or a PoE-enabled port on a network switch. The

touchscreen also works with most third-party PoE injectors. In this

conﬁguration, both power and the network’s data connection travel

along the same cable.

To set up your PoE and Ethernet connection:

1 If you need to install a PoE injector, attach it between the non-PoE

switch and the touchscreen, according to the instructions in the

PoE injector’s documentation (Figure 2).

Figure 2: PoE power and Ethernet

a For the Control4 PoE injector, connect the injector to an AC

outlet using the power cord.

b Connect one of the LAN ports on the network switch to the PoE

injector’s LAN port using Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable.

c Pull a cable going from the PoE injector’s PWR LAN-OUT port

to the location where you want to install the touchscreen, then

through one of the touchscreen’s left-side wall box knockout

holes (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Insert Ethernet cable into power box

Note: The Ethernet port on the power box does not have

functioning indicator LEDs.

Option 2: PoE power and Wi-Fi

If you’re unable to run a network cable from the network switch to the

touchscreen location, you can install a PoE injector to use household

wiring as the power source, and run a network cable from the injector

to the touchscreen power box. The touchscreen works with the

Control4 PoE Injector or any compatible third-party PoE Injector. This

conﬁguration uses Wi-Fi for communication with the network.

To set up a PoE injector:

1 Attach the PoE injector between the non-PoE switch and the

touchscreen, according to the instructions in the PoE injector’s

documentation (Figure 4).

Figure 4: PoE power and Wi-Fi

a For the Control4 PoE injector, connect the injector to an AC

outlet using the power cord.

b Connect one of the LAN ports on the network switch to the PoE

injector’s LAN port using Cat 5/6 Ethernet cable.

c Pull a cable going from the PoE injector’s PWR LAN-OUT port

to the location where you want to install the touchscreen, then

through one of the touchscreen’s left-side wall box knockout

holes (Figure 3, above).

Option 3: Wi-Fi with AC power

To connect AC power:

1 Place the touchscreen above a power source, for example, an

outlet. Make sure the location is within distance of your Wi-Fi

signal. (Figure 5).

Figure 5: AC power with Wi-Fi

2 Prepare the plastic power box for installation into the wall box by

inserting the AC power cable into the power box.

Caution: Use only 14 AWG wire for AC connections. For supply

connections, use wires suitable for at least

60 °C (140 °F).

3 Connect the wires to the AC power source for the touchscreen

according to national and local electrical codes. Installation may

require alternative wires.

4 Pull the power cable through a right-side knockout hole of the

wall box to the wire leads on the power box.

5 Strip the black and white power wire ends to 6 mm (about 1/4”),

as necessary.

6 Use wire nuts to connect the AC power wiring to the two wired

power leads from the power box.

7 If using a plastic wall box with an exposed bare copper ground,

wrap the ground in electrical tape or heat shrink tape/tubing. If

using a metal wall box, attach the ground wire to the wall box.

Attach the power box and touchscreen

To install the power box into the wall box:

1 Align and bend the wires to ﬁt them inside the wall box.

2 Slide the power box into the wall box, then secure the power box

to the wall box using the two screws provided (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Secure power box to wall box

OR, if using a standard double-gang wall box, use the four screws

provided (Figure 7).

Figure 7: Secure power box to wall box

Caution: Do not use an electric driver to tighten the screws.

Overtightening can result in the power box becoming slightly

warped, resulting in a poor electrical docking connection. Use only

a hand screwdriver to tighten the screws.

Tip: If overtightened screws result in the power box warping,

loosen the screws until the power box is ﬂush to the wall.

Note: The power box must be installed straight, level, and ﬂush to

the wall. The mounting holes of the power box may be drilled out

using a 5 mm (7/32” ) drill bit to align with the holes in the wall

box. This may be needed if the wall box is not installed squarely or

is misaligned during installation of drywall
