Product Information
The ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels and ViewPoint NetWave Touch Panels are hand-held liquid
crystal display panels that allow you to control devices remotely. They have programmable
firmware via the programming port.
TPDesign3 is used to construct the panel pages. Buttons are used throughout the ViewPoint panel
for control over external devices. FIG. 1 shows the external jacks and buttons.
ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panel
A Color-Passive series features a six-inch LCD with 256 colors. It comes with programmable
external buttons on each side that can be used to control levels such as channels, volume, and
lighting.
The ViewPoint Touch Panels are available with either one-way RF (VPT-CP) or two-way NetWave
(VPN-CP) digital spread-spectrum wireless control.
Multiple ViewPoints in an installation
The ViewPoint transmits data via RF or IR. The VPT-CP ViewPoint Wireless Touch Panels are
shipped to operate on a standard frequency of 418 MHz RF and user-selectable 38 KHz or 455 KHz
IR frequencies. The ViewPoints can be ordered for different RF operating frequencies that must be
set when the unit is manufactured.
The VPN-CP operates on 2.4 GHz for two-way RF communications with the AXR-NWS NetWave
Server. It also provides one-way IR using other manufacturers IR codes. If you plan to use multiple
one-way ViewPoints within the same area, it is
strongly recommended
that each unit be ordered for
operation on different RF frequencies. This will prevent erroneous data being received by the
