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. Other cable lengths are available from Crestron.
Installation Guide (Doc. 5867) for details. 24 VDC, 2.0A This female connector is used to supply 24 VDC power to the TPS-6000 from an optional power pack (Crestron model PW-2420RU). If video is to be displayed on the touchpanel, 24 VDC power must be supplied to the TPS-IMPC through either the Cresnet connector or the TPS-IMPCs 24VDC connector.

(recorded as WAV files). A set of pages, which make up a project, can be designed for each TPS-6000 touchpanel application. Each page contains objects such as custom control graphics, two and three-dimensional buttons, sliders, and digital readouts which allow the user to interface with the control system via join numbers.
Pre-recorded WAV files for voice prompts and responses are available from Crestron. These files can be stored into and programmed for use in the touchpanel directly or may be edited with the Sound Recorder. For example, the individual files can be combined to create custom messages.
