[. . . ] NOTE: Do not power up system until all wiring is verified. Care should be taken to ensure data (Y, Z) and power (24, G) connections are not crossed. NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted-pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z conductor. NOTE: For larger networks (i. e. , greater than 28 network devices), it may be necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs or varying types of network devices, it may be desirable to add a hub/repeater after only 20 network devices. When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run and the Cresnet power usage of each Cresnet unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is a home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire run. The length of the run in feet and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation. Resistance Equation R< 40, 000 LxP Where: R = Resistance (refer to the following table). P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain). The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the following table.

Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors. Hardware Hookup Connections to the Back of the TPS-IMW The TPS-IMW serves as interface between the touchpanel and the Cresnet system. Refer to the illustration after this paragraph for proper connections; apply power last. When making network connections to a control system or Cresnet peripherals, refer to "Network Wiring" on page 6. Remove the backing from the tape on the back of the two silk-screened insert plates (supplied). [. . . ] Products may be returned for credit, exchange, or service with a CRESTRON Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Authorized returns must be shipped freight prepaid to CRESTRON, 6 Volvo Drive, Rockleigh, N. J. , or its authorized subsidiaries, with RMA number clearly marked on the outside of all cartons. Shipments arriving freight collect or without an RMA number shall be subject to refusal. CRESTRON reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to charge a 15% restocking fee, plus shipping costs, on any products returned with an RMA. [. . . ]
