Along with the Mini Touch Screen, Control4 offers a variety of other navigation options for every room, including the System Remote Control, On-Screen (television), 10.5” Wireless Touch Screen, etc.The Control4 Mini Touch Screen offers complete system control in an elegant and compact design. The Mini Touch Screen is equipped with the touch screen, an intuitive Select Dial, and a unique programmable shortcut button. The Mini Touch Screen comes in two models: Ethernet and WiFi. These two options are described in the following sections. Mini Touch Screen Placement for both models: Place the Mini Touch Screen in a convenient location at eye level, typically near the entrace of the room, approximately 57 to 61 inches from the floor. Note that for the Wireless model, you need to place it near a power source, such as at an outlet, or be able to route AC power to it.Option 1: Ethernet Model The Ethernet Mini Touch Screen requires a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device that injects electrical current into the Ethernet cable in order to provide the Ethernet Mini Touch Screen with both power and a network connection. See Figure 1. The Ethernet Mini Touch Screen works with the Control4 Power Over Ethernet Injector (model # AC-POE1-B) or a third-party PoE injector or switch. If you plan to use a third-party PoE solution or a non-standard connection cable, refer to “Power Interface Requirements” for the specifications. Ethernet Placement: Place the PoE Injector near your gateway/router/switch. Pull the Ethernet cable from that location to the location of where you want to place your Mini Touch Screen.FIGURE 1. Ethernet Model - Requires Ethernet Wiring to Mini Touch Screen.Option 2: WiFi Model The WiFi Mini Touch Screen differs from the Ethernet model in two ways:•It uses a WiFi antenna that communicates via WiFi to a Wireless Access Point to the Control4 Controller, such as the Home Theater Controller.•It gets its power from an AC power source close to the Mini Touch Screen. This power connection requires both neutral and hot connec-tions. See Figure 2.WiFi Placement: Place the WiFi Model above a power source, such as at an outlet. Ensure you have WiFi in the home.FIGURE 2. WiFi Model - Requires AC power to Mini Touch Screen.IMPORTANT! If you already have a network setup distributing DHCP, manually disable any DHCP service on any device you add prior to putting it on the network, such as a wireless router. You cannot have two devices running DHCP or this may result in devices malfunctioning. For information about setting up a home network, see Composer online help topic: “Guidelines for Setting up a Wired or Wireless Network.”Wall Box Kit OptionsThere are four wall box options to install the Mini Touch Screen.

A virtual keypad displays for you to enter the information. Press OK when finished.e. Highlight the SSID of the WiFi Mini Touch Screen and press Enable.f. Press OK.8 Now that your Mini Touch Screen is physically installed and appearing on the home network, you can add it to the Control4 System using the Composer software (available for your PC). See Composer online help for information on how to add the Mini Touch Screen and other devices to the Control4 System.Power Interface RequirementsIf you plan to use any other PoE solutions besides the Control4 PoE Injector, such as a third-party injector or PoEswitch, then refer to the diagram of the Ethernet Mini Touch Screen Power and Connection Schematic scematic to determine how to create a PoE solution and cabling to meet the power and connection requirements for Mini Touch Screen.Ethernet Mini Touch Screen Power and Connection SchematicTroubleshootingIf you experience operational problems with the Control4 Mini Touch Screen, check the following list for system troubleshooting. If problems persist, contact your authorized Control4 dealer for technical support.Question: What if the on-screen display that reads “Welcome to Navigator” won’t go away?Answer: If screen also has text that reads “Touch the crosshairs firmly...,” then you need to calibrate the device as described in the installation instructions.Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen locks up or runs slowly?Answer: Try rebooting by holding down the Select Dial for ten seconds. Reset the system by cutting and restoring power: for Ethernet model, disconnect and reconnect the PoE connector at the network gateway, router or switch. Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen is damaged?Answer: Contact your Control4-authorized reseller.Question: What if I have network connection problems?Answer: Make sure the network cable connectors are firmly locked into the network jack. See Composer online topic: “Guidelines for Setting up a Wired or Wireless Network.”Question: What if my Mini Touch Screen is unresponsive to the touch?Answer 1: The nut under the Select Dial may be too tight. This can cause the faceplate to press against the overlay causing a false “press and hold” and renders the touch overlay inoperable. To fix this, loosen nut until proper operation is restored.Answer 2: The lower-right display clip may be wedged between the overlay and the display. (It is one of seven clips that hold the display in place.) Do NOT use any metal or sharp objects to correct this. (1) Using your left thumb, press down firmly on the lower edge of the display to the left of the clip. (2) Using your right index finder in a hook-shape, slide your fingernail under the clip to allow the display to slide back under the clip.Answer 3: The Mini Touch Screen may need to be recalibrated. Call technical support for further information on this procedure.WarrantySee Mini Touch Screen User Guide for warranty information.Regulatory ComplianceThis product complies with standards established by the following regulatory bodies:Federal Communications Commission (FCC)Industry CanadaUnderwriters Laboratories Inc.
