Crestron TPS-IMPC Interface Module Interface Module: TPS-IMPC Introduction Features & Functions The TPS-IMPC is an interface module designed for, and included with the Crestron TPS-3000, TPS-5000, and TPS-6000 tilt touchpanels. The sleek design of the touchpanel base left little room for all the connectors that define the touchpanel's versatility.
Interface Module Crestron TPS-IMPC Physical Description The TPS-IMPC, shown in the following diagram, is supplied with the TPS-3000, TPS-5000, and TPS-6000 tilt touchpanels. The module is housed in a black enclosure with a silk-screened top panel. An AC adapter port, network connector, and video input connectors are located on one side of the unit.
Crestron TPS-IMPC Interface Module NTSC/PAL VIDEO The NTSC/PAL video input consists of three connectors; two BNC connectors for unbalanced video signals and one 6-pin mini-connector for twisted pair wiring of balanced video signals. The video signal is connected to these ports and requires a TPS-3000 or installation of the TPS-VID-1 or TPS-VID-2 video card in a TPS-5000 or TPS-6000 touchpanel to display video. Consult the latest revision of the TPS-3000 Operations Guide (Doc.
Interface Module Crestron TPS-IMPC CAUTION: If power is provided to the TPS-IMPC from the +24VDC on a Cresnet connector or the PW-2420RU, power must not be applied to the power input on the touchpanel base. NOTE: When power is supplied through this connector, Crestron recommends disconnecting the +24 VDC on the Cresnet connector (if it is connected). NOTE: Use care in wiring installations to avoid applying 24 VDC power to Cresnet wiring from multiple sources.
Crestron TPS-IMPC Interface Module CAUTION: The 10-pin RJ-45 net/video connector cable supplied by Crestron is a custom cable and is the only one that should be used. The end of the cable has a metal shield that is required to protect the equipment. Using non-Crestron cables will result in damage to the product. AUDIO (To Panel) AUDIO 1 This 8-pin RJ-45 mates with the TPS-3000, TPS-5000, or TPS-6000 touchpanel. The 8-pin audio cable assembly is supplied.

Description of the pinouts is shown in the following table.
Crestron TPS-IMPC Interface Module Industry Compliance As of the date of manufacture, the TPS-IMPC has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785). Setup Network Wiring CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment. Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron warranty. CAUTION: Possible equipment damage if miswired.
Interface Module Crestron TPS-IMPC must be taken into consideration. If network units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Crestron TPS-IMPC Interface Module TPS-5000 or TPS-6000 touchpanel and a video window object resides on a page within the uploaded Crestron VisionTools® Pro-e (VT Pro-e) project. NOTE: When connecting the net/video cable from the interface module to the touchpanel, exceeding a cable length of 30 feet will significantly degrade the video signal. To maintain high-quality video, DO NOT daisy-chain cables or Crestron TPSBLOCK-10 cables longer than 30 feet.
