Using the TSC-3 Touchscreen
For the most part, using the TSC-3 depends on the design created for your installation by your system designer. There are, however, a few general
characteristics that apply to all User Control Interface (UCI) designs.
• If there are multiple pages in a UCI, you can drag your finger horizontally across the screen to change pages.
• Buttons operate by simply touching the button.
• Faders and knobs operate by touching the screen and dragging your finger across the screen.
• You can scroll through lists by touching and dragging the list contents up or down.
• If you don't touch the touchscreen for 10 minutes, the screen dims, after 60 minutes, the screen goes to a blank screen as if the unit were off.
Touching the screen refreshes the screen. The time out settings can be configured in the TSC-3 Status component in Q-Sys Designer.
Cleaning the TSC-3 Touchscreen
Refer to Figure 11
1. If the TSC-3 is running a design, you must access the "Clean Screen" control from the
TSC-3 component in Q-Sys Designer. If the Offline message is displayed, tap the screen
to access the Status Page.
2. Touch the Clean button (Figure 10). The screen goes blank except for a 30-second timer
in the center of the screen. During this time the touchscreen is inactive, you can clean the
screen without activating anything.
3. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the screen and plastic bezel.
Logging on to the TSC-3
Refer to Figure 12
If the UCI for the TSC-3 in the Q-Sys design requires a logon, a numeric keypad
displays when the touchscreen first starts, and after logging out. The PIN is masked
with asterisks as it is entered.
NOTE: The user is not logged out when the TSC-3 screen saver
(dim or blank screen) is started.
1. Use the keypad to enter your PIN.
◦ Press Cancel or Clear to erase your entry completely.
◦ Press Bksp to erase the last character entered.
2. Press OK. The UCI displays, ready to use.
Identifying the TSC-3 in Q-Sys Designer
If you have a large number of TSC-3s in your design, it may be difficult to find which component in the design matches a specific piece of hardware.
To locate the design component from the TSC-3:
1. From Q-Sys Designer or Q-Sys Configurator click the ID button of the TSC-3. The Status page displays on the touchscreen to identify which
touchscreen is associated with the Q-Sys Designer component.
Updating Firmware
If the version of Q-Sys Designer running on the Core does not match that of the TSC-3, the Core automatically updates the TSC-3, and any other
peripherals requiring the update. For more information, read the topic " Installing and Updating Q-Sys Software and Firmware" in the Q-Sys Designer
Help system.
