10.4"Touch Panels
Product Information
The AMXâ„¢ CA10, CV10 and CG10 touch panels contain a 10.4", 256-color active matrix liquid
crystal display (LCD). The self-contained enclosures use a microprocessor to control a wide range
of multimedia equipment. The TPDesign3 touch panel design program makes it possible to create
custom pages with buttons, icons, sliders, bargraphs, time displays, logos, and drawings.
All Decor-style references in this manual relate to wall mounted panels.
The table below lists the panel types and product names discussed in this manual.

Installing rack-mount panels (AXM-CA10/PB)
1. Thread the incoming AXlink, RS-232, and optional graphic/video wiring through the opening
in the equipment rack.
2. Disconnect the AXlink connector from the Central Controller, the RS-232, and optional
graphic/video wiring from the source equipment.
3. Insert the touch panel into the equipment rack. Line up the top-left and bottom-right screw
holes and start tightening the #6-32 screws. Then, tighten the bottom-left and top-right screws.
4. Connect the AXlink wiring to the Central Controller, RS-232, and optional graphic/video
wiring to the touch panel. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines table for pinout descriptions. The
touch panel beeps on power-up.
Wiring the Touch Panel
The touch panels use a 4-pin AXlink connector for power and data. If the distance between the
panel and Central Controller exceeds power consumption limits, you must connect an optional
12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector.
Preparing captive wires
You need a wire stripper, soldering iron, and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the
captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch of wire insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector according to the wiring
diagrams and connector types described in this subsection.
3. Turn the flat-blade screws clockwise to secure the wire in the connector. Do not over-torque
the screws; doing so can bend the seating pin and damage the connector.
Wiring guidelines
The touch panels require 12 VDC power to operate properly. The touch panel can use either a
PSN2.8 (if the power is being supplied only to the touch panel) or a PSN6.5 power supply (if the
power is being routed through the touch panel to power another device). The Central Controller
supplies power via the AXlink cable or external 12 VDC power supply. The maximum wiring
distance between the Central Controller and touch panel is determined by power consumption,
supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The table below lists wire sizes and the
maximum lengths allowable between the touch panel and Central Controller.
Do not connect power to the touch panel until the wiring is complete. If you are using
a 12 VDC power supply, apply power to the touch panel only after installation is
complete.
Installation
9
10.4" Touch Panels
The maximum wiring lengths for using AXlink power are based on a minimum of 13.5 VDC
available at the Central Controller's power supply. Refer to the Specifications section on page 1 for
more information on power requirements.
If you install the touch panel farther away from the control system than recommended in the Wiring
Guidelines table, connect an external 12 VDC power supply to the 2-pin PWR connector on the
touch panel.
Using the PSN connector for power
To use the 2-pin mini-Phoenix power supply jack for power transfer from the PSN power supply,
the incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN must be connected to the corresponding location
on the 2-pin AXlink connector (FIG. 6).
1. Insert the PWR and GND wires into the terminal end of the PSN 2-pin AXlink cable.
2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.
3. Verify the connection of the other end to the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix on the PSN.
Using AXlink for data and power
Connect the Central Controller's AXlink connector to the AXlink connector on the touch panel for
data and 12 VDC power as shown in FIG. 7.

Using AXlink for data with a +12 VDC power supply
To use the AXlink 4-pin connector for data communication with the Central Controller and power
transfer from a power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the power supply must be
connected to the AXlink cable connector going to the touch panel. FIG. 8 shows the external power
supply diagram.
1. Unscrew the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the power supply’s 2-pin cable.
2. Pair the GND wires from the power supply and the Central Controller AXlink connectors
together; insert them into the clamp position for GND on the touch panel AXlink connector.
3. Tighten the clamp and secure the two GND wires.

Using the (DB9) RS-232 connector for mouse control or data
The dual-function (DB9) RS-232 connector supports most standard serial mouse control devices
and RS-232 communication protocols for PC data transmission.
The following table lists (DB9) RS-232 connector pinouts and FIG. 9 shows the (DB9) RS-232
connector and power supply wiring diagram.
Use connector pins 2, 3, and 5 for data and ground. For some applications, you may need to strap
pins 7 (request to send) and 8 (clear to send) together, depending on the PC.
Never connect both power wires from the power supply and Central Controller to the
PWR terminal on the touch panel AXlink connector. Only the power supply’s PWR
wire should be connected to the touch panel AXlink connector. If both sources are
used to provide power to the touch panel, an electrical hazard is created and the
threat of both equipment damage and injury is likely.

Designing Touch Panel Pages
There are two ways to approach creating touch panel pages:
! TPDesign3 - Refer to the TPDesign3 Touch Panel Program (Version 3. 16 or higher)
Instruction Manual for more information.
! On-board editor
This section describes the basics of using the on-board editor to create pages and buttons. For more
information, refer to the G3 Firmware Design and Reference instruction manual.
Buttons
Standard button types include rectangles and other geometric shapes you can create with the touch
panel editor. Buttons are set with attributes, meaning there is a response from the Central Controller
when you touch the button.
General buttons are part of the default touch panel program and cannot be changed. General buttons
create or revise pages and specify panel communication parameters. Button examples include
selection buttons, information buttons, adjustment buttons, and operation bars. The general button
categories are described in the table below.
General Button Categories
Selection buttons Selection buttons appear on touch panel pages and set communica-
tion parameters.
Information buttons Information buttons contain serial numbers and firmware version
information. The properties of these buttons cannot be changed.
These buttons have a dark fill and light text.

Activating Edit Mode
Before designing touch panel pages and buttons, you must activate Edit mode. Once activated, use
the
EDIT button to enter Edit mode. This mode has options to add and configure touch panels and
buttons. When powering up the touch panel, the first page is the Main page (see FIG. 10). Note that
the Edit button is not available initially. If you have a pre-programmed panel, you may not see the
Main Page.
To activate edit mode:
1. Press
SETUP in the Main page to open the Setup page (FIG. 11).
2. Press
PROTECTED SETUP to open the keypad.
3. Enter 1988 (default password) in the keypad and press
ENTER to open Protected Setup page. If
you press
ENTER after typing an incorrect password, you are immediately returned to the
previous page.
