pharos TPS 5 5 Inch Touch Panel Station

Product Information

The Designer TPS 5 is a touch panel station that offers advanced control and interface capabilities. It is designed to be mounted on a surface using a mounting plate. The TPS 5 features an Ethernet port for network connectivity and is powered through Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology. It comes with a 32GB MicroSD memory card for data storage. The TPS 5 also includes a reset switch and an internal watchdog for system reliability. This product is covered by a five-year warranty from Pharos Architectural Controls Limited.

Mounting Instructions

1. Fit the mounting plate to the desired surface. Optionally, a back box can be used and a 49mm hole is mandatory.
2. Ensure the mounting plate is oriented correctly.
3. Plug in an Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port of the TPS 5.
4. Fit the touch panel onto the locating lugs at a 10 degrees clockwise angle.
5. Rotate the panel 10 degrees counter-clockwise to lock it in place. The locked position allows for a +/- 1 degree adjustment.

To remove the TPS 5:

1. Pull the short sides of the touch panel forward and rotate it 10 degrees clockwise.
2. Remove the touch panel from the locating lugs. Unplug the Ethernet cable from the RJ45 port.

Power Supply

The TPS 5 can be powered using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). A standard PoE switch (802.3af) can provide both power and network connection through a single cable. If a PoE switch is not available, a compliant PoE midspan injector can be used. The TPS 5 operates as a PoE Class 0 device and typically consumes 7W of power.

Memory Card

The TPS 5 comes with a 32GB MicroSD memory card. In the event of TPS 5 hardware failure, simply moving the memory card into a replacement unit with identical or more recent firmware will restore the device’s functionality.

Reset Switch

The TPS 5 has a recessed reset switch located below the MicroSD card slot. To reset the device, remove it from the mounting plate and press the reset switch. It is important not to operate the reset switch during firmware updates to avoid software corruption and potential inoperability of the unit.

Watchdog

The TPS 5 is equipped with an internal watchdog that automatically resets the device in case of a software crash caused by coding errors or random electromagnetic events such as power brown-outs, spikes, lightning strikes, or static discharges.
