SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Equinox 73-III is compatible with InFusion Design Center version 3.9.2.590 software or higher. For new projects it is recommended

that rmware and software be kept to the most current release.

INSTALLATION

Installation of Vantage products should be performed or supervised by a Certied Vantage Installer. Installation kits for Equinox 73-III

touchscreens are compatible with global electrical and installation standards. For new construction or retrot installations. Please see

the additional installation sheets referenced below for Equinox 73-III’s installation preparation.

See Standard, Easy Retrot, and TPT650 retrot, respectively

Click on the install method wanted:

• Equinox 73 LCD Standard_EQ73ST-INSTALL_install_IS-0545.pdf

• Equinox 73 LCD Easy-Retrot_EQ73ER-INSTALL_install_IS-0697.pdf

1. Connect Equinox 73-III to Ethernet PoE

2. Insert the Equinox 73-III into the mounting ring from the mounting option selected

- Make sure the Equinox 73-III’s four spring clips lock to mounting option selected: Standard, Easy-Retrot,

or Retrot install options

CONFIGURATION

1. Highlight the station in Design Center and click Congure Stations

2. Station displays congure mode and touch to congure

3. When congured station goes back to ready until programmed

-OR-

4. The station may also be congured by typing the serial number in the project le, using this method the station will automatically

be congured when the system is programmed.

DEVICE AND INFO SETTINGS

Device Settings are accessed through the Profile pages.

Press the Profile button, (my home, upper right, in this example).

Press the settings button.

The first time settings is pressed the screen will go to the

dashboard edit screen.

Pressing the upper left area on the dashboard page,

opens the Settings thumbnail selections at left.

Select the device option from the four choices.

NOTE: The other three choices 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-III

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.

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

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.

Scroll down to the next device screen for:

Security Sounder Volume (Not included in EQ73TB-TI-III model)

• Set security sound level from 0% to 100% - sound is on the

Equinox security pad display

Proximity Sensitivity

• Adjust value between 1 and 5

• Test by clicking the test circle and moving your hand across the

front of the screen. A green watermark bar appears across the

screen when the sensor activates

Multiple Homes

• Selecting multiple homes allows this device to connect to more

than one home

NOTE: Multiple Homes is covered in Design Center Help.

Scroll down to the next device screen for:

Default Profile

• When the device is reset, (power outage, etc.) this selects

whether the first (enabled) profile in the profile list or the

last (enabled) used profile is active when the screen boots.

Proximity Sensitivity

Network Settings

EQUINOX 73-III MOUNTING RING ADJUSTMENT TOOL

Locate this tool-card shipped with the Equinox 73-III. Inside the wall box is a rectangular ring that must be parallel with the wall

surface and 1” behind the wall surface on the left and right sides. Loosen the two inside screws and use this tool to set the mounting

ring depth at 1”.

SPRING CLIP

SPRING CLIP INSTALLATION

Loosen this screw inside of the wall box

on both sides and slide the mounting

bracket in or out for proper depth

When the Equinox 73-III touchscreen is inserted, the back of the touchscreen’s face is ush with the sheetrock and the spring clip is

securely behind the mounting bracket. If the screen clip is not far enough behind the mounting bracket, then the mounting bracket’s

depth must be moved out, toward the front of the wall box, until the spring clip has a secure grip when the Equinox 73-LCAP

touchscreen is fully inserted into the wall box.

Proper depth from

bracket to front of

nished wall is approx.

1” or 25mm

Start with ring level and

then adjust if needed

STEP 2. Insert bracket/bend wings. Place bracket into the

hole and carefully bend the two sides back around to meet the

back of the sheetrock as illustrated. Avoid over bending the

wings. Do not screw sides in until step four.

STEP 3. Secure inside ring. Secure inside ring with the two

screws provided.

STEP 4. Final screws. Secure completed assembly using the

four self tapping screws angled as illustrated – two screws on

each side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

STEP 5. Install the Equinox 73-III touchscreen. The retrot

bracket is now ready to receive an Equinox 73-III touchscreen

by pressing straight back on both sides at the same time until

locked and secure.

EQUINOX 73-III RETROFIT STATION INSTALLATION STEPS

Legrand’s Equinox 73-III retrot install kit is designed to mount the Equinox 73-III touchscreen directly to sheetrock without the

added cost of the bezel, saving time and money. Installation of the Equinox 73-III should be performed or supervised by a certied

installer. Begin by preparing the wall opening. The recommended mounting height is six inches above that of a typical keypad station

or approximately 50” to 58” from the oor to the bottom of the Equinox 73-III touchscreen. However, it may be installed at any height

tting specic custom installation requirements.

NOTE: The installer must provide an Ethernet RJ-45 connection wire. Ethernet cable should be CAT5e or better with PoE or PoE+

support.

STEP 1. Cut the sheetrock. Cut a precise rectangular hole in the sheetrock – 6-3/8” wide x 4-3/8” high (162mm x 111mm).

The hole should be very clean-cut, exact and must be level. Adjustable tolerances are extremely small and extra care should be

taken in cutting the hole out. Adjustment to the inside ring (see gure 1A,) is limited or the edge of the install bracket will show.

a. Fine tune a small amount by tilting the ring slightly to level screen – see gure 1A below; illustration is exaggerated.
