TLP Pro 300M Series • Setup Guide
Overview
The TLP Pro 300M Series touchpanels are 3.5 inch capacitive touchscreens with a resolution of 320x480 (HVGA) and 18-bit color
depth. They can be mounted, in a portrait orientation, to a standard 1-gang US electrical box.
This guide provides instructions for experienced installers to mount and set up these touchpanels. For complete instructions, see the
TLPPro 300 Series User Guide, at www.extron.com.
Setup Checklist
Get Ready
Download and install the latest version of the following software:
GUI Designer — for designing layouts for Extron TouchLink
®
Pro touchpanels and third party touch interfaces
Global Configurator
®
Professional or Global Configurator Plus — for setting up and conguring the control processor and
touchpanel
Toolbelt — provides device discovery, device information, rmware updates, and conguration of network settings, system
utilities, and user management for TouchLink Pro devices
Global Scripter
®
— provides an integrated development environment for Extron control systems programming
NOTE: All four software programs are available from www.extron.com.
Obtain the following network information from your network administrator:
DHCP status (on or off). If DHCP is off, you must also obtain:
IP address Subnet mask Gateway
Username — This can be either admin or user.
Password — The factory congured passwords for all accounts on this device have been set to the device serial number.
Passwords are case sensitive.
NOTE: If the device is reset to default settings, the password will be the default password conguration. The default
password is extron.
Make a note of the touchpanel MAC address.
Mount and Cable All Devices
Mount the units. There are several mounting options for TouchLink Pro touchpanels (see Mounting on the next page).
Connect the touchpanel to a Power over Ethernet injector (not provided). Extron recommends the XTP PI 100 power injector,
which must be purchased separately.
Connect the power injector to the LAN and power it on.
ATTENTION:
• Do not power on the touchpanels until you have read the ATTENTION in the “Rear Panel Features” section of the
TLPPro 300M Series User Guide.
• Ne branchez pas les écrans tactiles avant d’avoir lu la mise en garde dans la section «Rear Panel Features » du
TLPPro 300M Series User Guide.
Set up the Touchpanels for Network Communication
Connect the PC that you are using for setup, the control processor, and touchpanel to the same Ethernet subnetwork.
Use the Setup Menu (see page 4) or Toolbelt software to set the DHCP status and, if necessary, the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway, and related settings for the touchpanel.
Configure the Touchpanels
Create a graphical user interface with GUI Designer (see GUI Designer Help File for step-by-step instructions).
Associate functions with the graphical user interface features by conguring (see the Global Configurator Help File) or
programming (see the Global Scripter Help File) the system. Global Scripter provides an Extron-exclusive Python library
(ControlScript
®
) and Global Scripter modules to get you started.

national building codes and electrical codes.
• Toute étape structurelle et installation électrique, doit être effectuée par un personnel qualié, conformément aux codes du
bâtiment, aux codes incendie et sécurité, et aux codes électriques, locaux et nationaux.
Mounting With a UL-listed Electrical Box
The UL-listed electrical junction box must be purchased separately.
1. Cut a hole for the junction box at the required location.
2. If you are using the provided tether kit to deter theft, one loop of
the tether kit should be secured to a wall stud with a screw (not
provided)
3. Run cables to the installation site as required.
4. Pass the other end of the tether kit and the cables
through a knock-out in the junction box.
5. Install the junction box by following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
6. Secure the metal mounting plate to the junction box,
using the provided screws.
7. Attach cables to the back of the TLP Pro 300M (see
Rear Panel Features on page 3).
8. If a tether kit is being used, loosen the security screw
on the back panel (see figure 4,
F
, on page 3)
just enough to insert the loop of the tether kit.
9. Tighten the screw to clamp the tether in place.

Figure 2 shows how to mount the TLP Pro 300M in drywall. Follow the
same procedure to mount into furniture.
1. Download the TLP Pro 300M Cut-out Template from the Extron
website (www.extron.com). Ensure that it is printed at 100% size,
with no scaling.
2. Remove the cut-out area from the template.
3. Attach the template to the wall in a suitable location, using a level to
ensure the template is aligned correctly.
4. Use the template to mark and remove the cut-out area
(

) and drill two holes (
2
) for the screws that secure
the toothed clamping plates.
5. If you are using a tether kit to deter theft, one loop of
the tether kit should be secured to a wall stud.
6. Run cables to the installation site as required.
7. Secure the metal mounting plate to the clamping
plates, using the provided screws. As the screws turn
they tighten the grip of the clamping plates on the
inside surface of the drywall.
8. Attach the tether kit and cables to the touchpanel
and secure the touchpanel to the mounting plate as
described in steps 7 through 10 in the previous section.

switch or router to the power supply input. A second straight-through
cable (
2
) carries the network information and 48VDC from the power
injector to the touchpanel LAN/PoE connector (see figure 4,
G
, on the
previous page). Connect the IEC power cord to a convenient 100 VAC to
240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power source (see gure 5,
