System Design and Installation 

Planning 

Before installing the TS7, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. Talk 
with the homeowner to make sure all expectations and design goals are explored. The first 
step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house 
floor plan with speaker, touchpad, touchscreen, volume control, and equipment locations 
etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all 

necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. 

It is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage. 
After establishing design goals with the homeowner, make a detailed list of all components. 
Include source equipment, keypads, touchscreens, volume controls, amplifiers, 
communications gear, etc. Gather up any IR remote controls that may be necessary for 
final programming, or ensure that the IR codes for all equipment to be installed are 
available in the ELAN configuration software. 

When planning specific in-wall installation locations for LCD touchscreens, please keep the 

following tips in mind: 

• When properly installed, nothing should be applying contact pressure to the touchscreen 
except for the operator’s finger or the stylus. If something is touching the touchscreen 
window, a false signal can be generated, causing the touchscreen to respond incorrectly. 

• Avoid installation in direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light (such as grow lamps for 

plants). This can degrade and discolor polyester film. 

• Avoid installation over heat generating devices and/or in moist areas where condensation 
can form on the polyester film. Both heat and condensed moisture can affect touchscreen 
performance. 

• Avoid installation next to thermostats. The touchscreen generates heat that can affect 

thermostat control and readings. 

• Avoid applying any foreign objects, such as adhesive labels, glue, etc. to the 

touchscreen’s polyester film. This can release chemicals that can discolor the clear film. 

• The touchscreen/LCD assembly should not be mounted near electronics that emit radio 
frequencies or electromagnetic interference (such as CRT monitors, light dimmers, and 

some power supplies). 

• Do not mount the TS7 outdoors or in areas exceeding the operating temperature range of 
32° to +104°F (0° to +40°C). If the LCD display is over-heated, or its temperature reduced 
below the recommended minimum, the liquid crystal polymer can be damaged and the 

display image may not recover.
