1. WelcomeTo 924 TouchPanel

1 Welcome To 924 TouchPanel

Thank you for choosing a Helvar product, and welcome to our growing family of customers

around the world. By choosing Helvar you have invested in great value technology that we hope

you will enjoy using for many years. This guide is designed to help you get the most from your

TouchPanel. Here you will learn about its features, its operation and maintenance. To learn about

TouchPanel installation and wiring, see the installation leaﬂet (document 7860140, supplied with

this product).

TouchPanel requires some conﬁguration before it can be used for the ﬁrst time. To learn

more see section 3.

To learn about your lighting system, and how TouchPanel works with it, see section 21.

This is highly recommended if you intend to customize TouchPanel’s operation.

Menus and controls

To learn how to use the

on-screen menus and

controls see section 2.

To learn how to change

screen content see

section 8.

Bezel

To learn about care and

cleaning the bezel and

screen see section 18.

Backlight

To learn about using and

conﬁguring the backlight

Touch-sensitive screen

To learn how to use the

1.1.

Remote control

To learn how to conﬁgure

TouchPanel for use with a

1. Do’s and Don’ts

TouchPanel uses a touch-sensitive screen designed for use with

your ﬁngertip or a stylus. To select an item on the screen, press

once on the item, using gentle pressure.

You can also control the lighting

with the Remote Control Handset

(available separately).

To learn how to clean TouchPanel see section 18.

To learn about Technical Support see section 20.1.

Do not allow TouchPanel to become wet or immersed in any liquid.

Electric shock hazard: Do not dismantle TouchPanel. There are no

customer-serviceable components inside. If you suspect that a

component is faulty, contact your supplier for assistance.

TouchPanel is designed to withstand mild impacts, but it may be

damaged if struck too hard. You need only press the screen gently

to select an item. As a simple rule, if the picture becomes distorted

when you press the screen, then you are pressing it too hard.

For ease of use we recommend

using a stylus if you are Conﬁguring

TouchPanel extensively.

Do not press the screen with hard or

sharp objects, or with a writing tool

such as a pen, as this may damage

or mark the screen.

2. Using Screens and Menus

Everything you can do with TouchPanel involves using its system of Screens and Menus. This

section explains what Screens and Menus are, what the various elements are and what they do,

and explains how to use the Conﬁguration menus and Pop up menu together.

2.1 About Screens

Screens provide a graphical user interface for controlling your lighting system on a day-to-day

basis. From Screens you can select lighting scenes, raise or lower the lights, or select other

Screens. Every item that appears on a Screen can be customized. To learn how to create and

modify Screens see section 8.

Title

This shows the name of the

Screen.

To learn how to change the

title see section 8

Buttons

These are used to select

scenes, fade the lights,

control devices, or select

other Screens. To learn how

to conﬁgure buttons see

section 8.5 to 8.10.

Clock

A clock can be included on

any Screen. To learn how to

add a clock see section 8.5.

To learn how to set the time

see section 16.

Label

A label can be included on

any Screen. To learn how to

add a label see section 8.5.

Background

A picture or colour shown

behind the buttons. To

learn how to conﬁgure the

background see section 8.3.

Hotspot

An invisible button in the

lower right corner of the

screen. Press it to enter

the Conﬁguration menus.

To learn how to use the

Conﬁguration menus

sections 2.2 to 2.5.

2.2 About Conﬁguration Menus And The Pop Up Menu

These are text menus used to conﬁgure and customize TouchPanel, conﬁgure lighting scenes,

conﬁgure Scheduled Events, and customize the look and content of Screens.

Title and advice Area

Shows the title of the

current menu, or advice for

you to follow.

A list of sub-menus and

commands. Menu content

varies according to mode

of operation. For a list of

all icons and their purpose

see the back cover of

this guide. To learn about

modes of operation see

section 3.2.

List

A collection of related

items, such as Loads,

Scenes, or Screens.

Back button

Click this button (or

anywhere in the Title and

advice area) to return to the

previous menu.

Pop up menu

A row of icons at the

bottom of the screen. It

provides commands that

can be used with items that

are shown in the main part

of the screen. For example,

if you have a Scene on

the screen, the Pop up

menu provides commands

that can be used with that

Scene.

1. Press repeatedly until the required screen or menu appears. You may also need to exit

from any conﬁguration mode you are in, such as Move mode or Properties mode.

2. Wait 20 seconds. When this time has elapsed the password will expire and TouchPanel is

secure. You must type in the password again to access the Conﬁguration menus.

2.3 Accessing Conﬁguration Menus

1. Press the Hotspot in the lower-right

corner of the screen for at least four

seconds.

2. Type in the password and press .

Press . The Main Menu will

appear.

To learn about password protection see

Section 15.

When you have entered a valid password, features protected by the password can be used until

the password expires. The password expires if you return to a Screen, and do not return to the

Conﬁguration menus within 20 seconds. After this time, if you want to access the Conﬁguration

menus you must enter the password again. This ensures that TouchPanel’s Conﬁguration menus

are protected automatically from accidental or unauthorized access.

2.4 Exiting from Conﬁguration Menus

2.5 Using Conﬁguration Menus And Pop Up Menu

The Conﬁguration menus and Pop up menu are used together to perform many different tasks. Nor-

mally you press an item to select it but, sometimes the Pop up menu is made available when an item

can have an action performed on it.

To perform an action on an item, select the action from the Pop up menu, and then press the item

on which you want to perform the action. Some Pop up menu commands work just once, but some

remain active until you quit from them. For example, if you select the delete command , you can

continue to select and delete items until you quit from that command. The following example shows

the delete command in use:

1. Press to select the delete command.

This screen shows a list of Loads, which in this case

are SCR Dimmer channels. The last is a missing load

and is shown in GREY.

If only one Pop up menu icon is visible, you may be

in a command already. Press that icon to quit from

the command and display the Pop Up menu.

2. Select the load to delete. Only missing loads

can be deleted. It will be highlighted in RED.

3. Press to conﬁrm the deletion. Notice that the

delete icon remains visible in the corner of the

screen. This indicates that the delete command

is still active.

4. If you wish, select another SCR Dimmer to

delete it. When you have ﬁnished deleting

items, press to quit from the delete

command.

3. Switching On For The First Time

TouchPanel requires some conﬁguration before it can be used. The conﬁguration process is a once-

only process that starts automatically when TouchPanel is switched on, unless the conﬁguration

process has been completed previously.

3. SwitchingOn For TheFirst Time

Once the mode of operation has been set, you can only change it by resetting TouchPanel to

factory defaults. To learn how to do this see section 14.

3.1 Setting Language, The Mode, Date And Time

1. Switch TouchPanel on and wait up to 30 seconds.

2. The Language menu will appear.

3. Select a language.

4. to accept the language.

7. If not previously set, the Set Date And Time menu

will appear.

8. and to set the date and time.

9. to accept the date and time.

10. The Default Screen will appear. TouchPanel is

now ready for use.

5. The Select Mode menu will appear. Press Master

Panel, Toolbox Slave, Workshop Slave , or

Desginer Slave to set the mode of operation.

To learn more about each mode see section 3.2.

6. to accept the mode.

Once the mode of operation has been set, you can

check the mode setting later by viewing the About

screen. To learn more see section 20.2.

TouchPanel can retain its conﬁguration settings

indeﬁnitely. However, if TouchPanel remains without

power for more than approximately two days then the

date and time may need to be reset. To learn how to

set the date and time see section 16.
