TPT NO BOX RETROFIT CLIPS – MODELS: VHA-1156/VHA-1157

 

 

Overview 
The no-box retrofit clips allow the TPT650 or TPT1040 
TouchScreens to be installed without using Vantage’s 

Rough In 

Assembly Kits, MODEL: TPT650-INSTALL-16

 or 

MODEL: 

TPT1040-INSTALL-16

. Please refer to either of these two 

Installation instruction sheets for additional information on 
powering and wiring to the TPT650 or TPT1040 TouchScreens. 
These retrofit clips have been designed for 

1/2

” or 5/8” thick 

Sheetrock walls.  
 
Installation 
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or 
supervised by a 

Certified Vantage Installer

. Please study these 

instructions before installing 
 
If installing TPT TouchScreens using Vantage’s retrofit clips, it 
may be necessary to order additional parts. A complete 
installation will also need a power supply and possibly AV 
connectors. Additional Vantage part numbers are listed here 
for your reference. 
1.

 

TPT650 power supply part number: 

VFA-0005

 

2.

VFA-0007

 

3.

 

(optional) RJ45 TO RCA MALE AUDIO/VIDEO CABLE part 
number: 

VDA-0176

 

4.

 

(optional) CABLE CONNECTOR, RJ45 TO RJ45 part

Location/Wiring For All Installations 
1.

 

The recommended mounting wall height is six inches above 
that of a typical keypad station or approximately 50” to 58” 
from the floor to the bottom of the TouchScreen. However, 
it may be installed at any height fitting your installation 
requirements. 

 
2.

 

Sheetrock cutout must match the WALL BOX WIRING 
TEMPLATE for your model. If this card is not available, the 
cut out hole measurements for the two models are: 

a.

 

TPT650 cut out hole should be exactly 

i.

 

6.875” wide x 5.775” high 

ii.

 

17.46cm wide x 14.66cm high 

b.

 

TPT1040 cut out hole should be exactly 

i.

 

10.475” wide x 8.375” high 

ii.

 

26.60cm wide x 21.27cm high 

TIP:

 Paint the cut edges of the sheetrock hole to prevent 

sheetrock dust from getting into electronics. This is particularly 
advantageous for the TPT650 which has the SD Memory Card 
slot in the top of the station. 
 
3.

 

Bend the retrofit clips at the appropriate location for 

1/2

” or 

5/8” thick sheetrock and place them in the left and right 
sides of the hole. NOTE: the bent smaller section is on the 
outside of the wall; the long continuous section of the clip is 
behind the sheetrock. 

TIP:

 Use care when bending the clips. If repeated bending 

occurs the clips will break. 
 
4.

 

Power supply is 1 to 1 ratio. Only connect 

ONE

 TPT650 or 

TPT1040 to any power supply. 

a.

 

Mount the POWER SUPPLY at a remote location 

b.

 

Use 16/2 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or 18/2AWG 
wire 

i.

 

16/2AWG – maximum length 100ft. (30.48m) 

ii.

 

18/2AWG – maximum length 50ft. (15.24m) 

c.

 

If the POWER SUPPLY cord is 
not long enough, cut the 
“barrel” end off – about 5” from 
the end of the wire – farthest 
point away from the 12VDC POWER SUPPLY. Splice into 
the end of the extended wire run at the wall box side. 
Splice the other end into the other side of the wire run. 
IMPORTANT: Keep polarity the same; notice the original 
power cord has white dashed lines on one side. Make 
sure your connections are to the same wire at each end 
of the two wire splice. The high voltage side of the 
POWER SUPPLY must be connected to a reliable earth 
ground. 

 
5.

 

Connect the power supply and any AV cables to the back of 
the TPT TouchScreen and slide the TouchScreen into the 
wall. 

 
6.

 

Using the screws provided, secure the TPT TouchScreen to 
the wall – DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
