12 Connections, Cleaning, and Charging ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels l
Connectors
All ViewPoints have two connectors, as shown in Figure 9. The power jack is for con-
necting an external 12 VDC power supply for ViewPoint operation and charging. The
programming jack is a three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo jack. The required cable and power
supply comes furnished with the ViewPoint.
Multiple ViewPoints in an Installation
The ViewPoint transmits data via RF or IR. The VPT-CP and VPT-GS ViewPoint
Wireless Touch Panels are shipped to operate on a standard frequency of 418 MHz
RF and user-selectable 38 KHz or 455 KHz IR frequencies. The ViewPoints can be or-
dered for different RF operating frequencies that must be set when the unit is manu-
factured.
