Introduction zz About This Guide zz About the TLP 710CV zz Features zz Requirements About This Guide This guide describes the function, installation, configuration, and operation of the TLP 710CV touchpanel controllers. In this guide the terms TLP 710CV and touchpanel refer to the TLP 710CV.
Light sensor — allows the auto dimming feature to adjust LCD screen backlighting to take account of ambient lighting. Lid switch — when the lid is opened the LCD screen, light sensor, and illuminating LED are all activated. When the lid is closed, these features are deactivated to save energy. The speaker is always active, whether the lid is open or closed. Sleep mode — conserves power when no button presses are detected for a user‑determined period of time.
Requirements Hardware and Software The latest system requirements for running the configuration software can be found on the Extron website: zz GUI Configurator zz Global Configurator Other Hardware An Extron IP Link control interface must also be connected to the same network domain as the TouchLink touchpanel. Suggested models include: zz IPL T S series (for example IPL T S4) zz IPL 250 zz IPL T CR48 zz IPL T SFI244 zz IPCP series See the Extron website (www.extron.
Installation Overview This section provides an overview of the main steps required to install the TLP 710CV and provides links to more detailed explanations of each step. You can also visit the TouchLink touchpanel site at www.extron.com/touchlink for further assistance in the setup and operation of the TLP 710CV, or to enroll in online training. For additional assistance, contact your nearest Extron office. The instructions provided in this guide are for experienced installers.
Mounting This section provides detailed instructions for mounting the TLP 710CV in a table and installing the AAPs. It covers: zz Planning zz Tools Required for Installation zz Included Parts zz Cutting the Table zz Mounting the TLP 710CV Enclosure zz Running Cables zz Installing Cable Retractors zz Installing Power Modules zz Preparing and Installing the AAP Assemblies Planning Before making any cuts, select the best location for the TLP 710CV.
Tools Required for Installation The following tools are required but not supplied: 1/4" Hex Nut Driver Tape Measure Square Marking Pen Phillips Screw Driver Safety Glasses Vacuum Cleaner Included Parts AM GR BE R BL EE IN N K PO PO W W ER LO ER ON AD AC ER TI RO VE R Open the shipping container and verify that all the components are present: -IN Blank AAPs LAN R LAN OUT PW Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector AC Power Module1 AAP Shelf Bracket Kits (2 brackets/kit)2 Extro n Extron Removal To
Cutting the Table Cutout Dimensions CAUTIONS: • The table should be cut only by licensed and bonded craftspeople. • Make certain the correct cutout dimensions are being used before proceeding to the next step. Extron is not responsible for incorrectly cut mounting holes. • The surfaces of the Cable Cubby enclosure have screws and other protruding hardware that could damage fine furniture. Do not rest the enclosure on unprotected furniture. • Ensure the table surface is at least 0.375 inches (0.
Running Cables Run all cables necessary to support the AC connector, the cables stored in the cubby, and all planned AAP connectors. Run the cables below the table and through the hole that was cut in the previous step (“Cutting the Surface”). Leave enough slack in the cables to connect or route them before the cubby is installed in the table. Leave enough slack for the external power supply and to connect AV cables and the cable for PoE and LAN to the TLP 710CV.
2. Run the cable or conduit to a convenient junction box. Extron recommends the circuit be attached to a junction box that is directly wired to the main circuit. The AC power module does not have a fuse. Preparing and Installing the AAP Assemblies The AAP assembly organizes the AAPs onto a frame that can easily be inserted or removed from the TLP 710CV frame. Pass-through and blank AAP plates are provided with the TLP 710CV. Active or passive AAPs must be purchased separately.
3. Attach the AAP loosely to the bracket with the supplied #4-40 captive washer nuts. NOTE: At this time, captive washer nuts should be hand tightened otherwise it is difficult to attach the brackets to the frame of the TLP 710CV (see “Inserting the AAP Assemblies” below). 4. When using pass-through AAPs, ensure they are in the correct orientation with the opening in the grommet facing forward (see figure 4). 5. Insert one cable through the opening of each grommet.
4. Use a hex nut wrench to tighten the AAP captive washer nuts. NOTE: When the AAP assembly was initially prepared, the nuts were hand tightened (see the previous section, “Installing AAPs”). If they are tightened more securely, at that stage, it is difficult to align the brackets with the screw holes on the enclosure. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to add the next AAP assembly, until all the assemblies have been inserted into the enclosure. 6.
Touchpanel Features and Connectors This section discusses the features and connectors of the TLP 710CV touchpanel. Front Panel With the lid down, the light sensor (a in figure 7), the screen (b), and illumination LED (j) are disabled. All three activated by opening the lid. With the lid open, remove the front panel bezel, as shown in figure 6, using the Extron removal tool. Ex tro n a Insert the removal tool in the slot at one top corner and loosen the bezel away from the screen.

LCD screen — has a 800x480 resolution with a touch overlay. Extron software is used to design and configure a graphic user interface to display buttons, text, or icons, which have user‑defined functions associated with them.
TLP 710CV Connectors The rear panel of the TLP 710CV has a compartment that can be accessed from beneath the unit. This compartment contains the connectors for power, LAN and PoE, and MTP inputs to the touchpanel. k j POWER 12V 1.0A MAX Figure 8. i j k LAN / PoE i MTP Cable connectors for TLP 710CV MTP connector (RJ-45) LAN/PoE Power connector MTP input A twisted pair cable, terminated with an RJ‑45 connector, provides composite or S-video and audio input from an Extron MTP transmitter.
Network and Power over Ethernet Connector The TLP 710CV connects to a network using a twisted pair cable, terminated with an RJ‑45 connector. Use a straight-through Ethernet cable to connect the touchpanel to a switch or router. Use a crossover cable to connect the touchpanel directly to a computer. An Extron IP Link control interface must also be connected to the same network domain. Suggested models are listed on page 3. LAN/PoE RJ-45 Port Link LED Activity LED The network port has two LEDs.
Power Connector Connect the two pole, 3.5 mm captive screw connector from the 12 VDC, 1.0 A power supply (not provided) to the power supply socket on the rear panel. Ensure the connections have the correct polarity as shown below. NOTES: • Extron recommends using the Power over Ethernet power supply. This 12 VDC, 1.0 A power supply should only be used for setup or troubleshooting. • If both power supplies are connected to the TLP 710CV, the PoE power supply takes precedence.
Configuration and Calibration Overview By now, the TLP 710CV must be installed in a suitable place, all necessary cables securely attached, and the unit powered on.
