Installation  
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or 
supervised by a 

Certified Vantage Installer

. Study the steps below 

for installation scenarios and select the method that most closely 
matches current installation. 

Method 1 - Replacing existing TPT650 Installed in Wall Box 
 

Preparation 

Prepare the box by removing or safely terminating all old 
connection wires in the box except the Ethernet connection 
needed for the new Equinox 73 touchscreen and the TPT650 
power supply* if using instead of POE. 
 

Steps

 

1.

 

The TPT650 Wall Box should be empty (old wiring properly 
terminated or removed) except for the Ethernet RJ-45 
connection wire. NOTE: existing Ethernet cable should be 
CAT5e or better with POE or POE+ support. 

2.

 

Insert the retrofit kit connector clips into the (inside) left and 
right sides of the TPT650 Wall Box as illustrated. 

3.

 

Insert retrofit bracket. 

4.

 

Secure the retrofit bracket to the clips and wall box with 
supplied screws. 

Do not over tighten 

to prevent the retrofit 

bracket from lifting away from wall around its perimeter

a.

 

Optional:

 Finish wall over retrofit bracket lip with new 

mud. NOTE: If “mudding” the wall over the retrofit 
bracket lip, the new Equinox 73 touchscreen does not 
require a bezel. 

5.

 

Pull all connections through the bezel. 

6.

 

Connect Ethernet and power to the Equinox 73 touchscreen 
and insert the touchscreen into the bezel and snap into retrofit 
bracket. Or, if no bezel is used, snap the touchscreen into 
retrofit bracket.
