Frequently Asked Questions - TPMC-8X-BTP Crestron

How do I install the TPMC-8X-BTP battery pack into the TPMC-8X touchpanel?

Place the touchpanel screen-side down on a clean, soft surface. Remove the two Phillips head screws securing the battery compartment cover. Orient the battery pack so the multi-pin connector is in the upper left corner, then carefully connect it to the corresponding connector inside the compartment. Ensure the internal battery switch is in the up (on) position to use the battery. Reattach the cover with the screws.

How can I charge the internal battery pack?

The TPMC-8X-BTP can be charged in two ways: (1) Install it in a TPMC-8X touchpanel and connect the touchpanel to an AC power source using its AC adapter, or (2) mount the touchpanel on an AC powered TPMC-8X-DS Docking Station/Charger (sold separately). Charging time is approximately 2 hours when the touchpanel is off, or 2.5-3 hours if the panel is in use.

What is the capacity and voltage of the TPMC-8X-BTP battery?

The battery has a capacity of 2000 to 2200 mAh (depending on version) and an output voltage of 7.2 to 7.4 VDC. It is a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.

Is the TPMC-8X-BTP compatible with all TPMC-8X touchpanels?

Yes, the TPMC-8X-BTP is designed specifically for the Crestron TPMC-8X WiFi Touchpanel. It fits into the internal battery compartment and connects via a multi-pin connector. Ensure the touchpanel has a battery switch in the on position.

How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

TPMC-8X-BTP Physical View

Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture the TPMC-8X-BTP has been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling.

Handling

NOTE: The TPMC-8X-BTP contains a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. When the unit can no longer retain a charge, it must be recycled or disposed of properly. Follow local ordinances and/or regulations for disposal.

To prevent damage to multi-pin connector and wiring, use care when handling the TPMC-8X-BTP.

Storage

The TPMC-8X-BTP can be stored in a temperate, dry place (removed from the touchpanel and docking station) indefinitely without significant irreversible degradation of its performance. The self-discharge rate is a function of temperature and internal resistance. High temperature storage reduces charge retention. Best results occur if the TPMC-8X-BTP is stored at an optimal temperature of 32^ to 104^ F ( 0^ to 40^ C). After an extended period of storage, initiate a few charge/discharge cycles to restore full capacity.

Setup

Charging

NOTE: A Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery typically provides 300-500 charge/discharge cycles.

There are two ways to charge the TPMC-8X-BTP:

• Install the TPMC-8X-BTP in a TPMC-8X touchpanel and connect the touchpanel to an AC source using its AC adapter or
• Install the TPMC-8X-BTP in a TPMC-8X touchpanel and mount the touchpanel on an AC powered TPMC-8X-DS Docking Station/Charger (sold separately).

NOTE: The battery pack may take up to three hours to charge in a powered touchpanel if the panel is in use during charging.

NOTE: When the external battery pack (TPMC-8X-BTPE, sold separately) is attached, both the internal and external battery packs charge simultaneously.

Installation

Use the following procedure to install the TPMC-8X-BTP in a TPMC-8X touchpanel:

1. Place the touchpanel screen-side down on a clean, soft surface.
2. Remove the two Phillips head screws that hold the internal battery compartment cover on the rear of the touchpanel.
3. Place the TPMC-8X-BTP in the battery compartment oriented so the multi-pin connector is in the upper left corner.
4. Carefully connect the multi-pin connector of the TPMC-8X-BTP with the corresponding connector inside the battery compartment (refer to illustration on the following page).
