Module: 

TPMC-L-IMC

 

 

1.  As shown in the following diagram, connect the 

power wires from the TPMC-L-IMC to the rear of 
the touchpanel using the supplied connectors. 
Crestron recommends using two 60 foot runs (or 
less) of 14-gauge stranded wire between the 
touchpanel and the TPMC-L-IMC.  

Description 

The TPMC-L-IMC interface module is included with 
the TPMC-15-CH-L, TPMC-15-QM-L,  
TPMC-17-CH-L, and TPMC-17-QM-L touchpanels. 
The TPMC-L-IMC is used to deliver power from a 
power supply to a remotely located wall mount 
touchpanel. The TPMC-L-IMC converts the cable 
(used by the touchpanel’s included power supply) to 
two wires (see chart in following column), which 
allows a wall mount touchpanel to be installed up to 
60 feet from its power supply. The wire runs are 
terminated on the rear of the TPMC-15/17 wall 
mount touchpanel where they are converted to the 
cable-type required by the touchpanel. An LED 
indicates when power is supplied to the  
TPMC-L-IMC. The TPMC-L-IMC has a mounting 
flange to secure the unit to a mounting surface or 
the rear of a rack as shown in the following diagram. 
The TPMC-L-IMC should be installed near the power 
supply.

Alternatively, a single wire can be run over a 
shorter distance. Smaller gauge wires can be 
used for shorter runs as well. Refer to the
