A DC 5 V 3 A USB-C switching power adapter is required to connect to a wall outlet. Be sure only to use an adapter with the appropriate AC voltage rating to prevent component damage.
TouchPanel-3 will automatically turn on after AC power is supplied.

Rechargeable Battery

In addition to the adapter, there is a rechargeable battery inside the Control Panel, which serves as a backup power in case of a power failure.
During normal operation, the AC power adapter is used to supply power to the Control Panel and at the same time recharge the battery.
When the adapter is disconnected from the Control Panel, the Red LED will turn on to indicate AC power loss.
When the battery level is low, TouchPanel-3 will report a low battery status. If the AC power adapter is not reconnected after this report and the battery continues to drain, a warning message will appear on the user interface. If the battery becomes too low for the system to function, it will automatically shut down to protect data.

Auxiliary Power Supply Accessory (Optional)

In addition to the standard power adapter, TouchPanel-3 can also be powered using one of the following optional power supplies:
- AUX-PS: An AC power board that converts 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz input into a regulated 5 V DC / 3 A output. The AUX-PS must be connected to a wall outlet (mains socket).
- AUX-PS-DC: A DC power board that converts 7-36 V DC input into a regulated 5 V DC / 3 A output. The AUX-PS-DC should be connected to a regulated DC power source (e.g., a power supply unit (PSU)).
To use the Power Supply Accessory (AUX-PS or AUX-PS-DC):
1. Connect the USB-C connector of the AUX-PS or AUX-PS-DC to the USB-C Port on TouchPanel-3.
2. For AUX-PS, connect the two wires of the AC power cable to the power input terminals on AUX-PS, then plug the cable into a 100–240 VAC mains outlet.

For AUX-PS-DC, connect the positive and negative output wires from a regulated DC power source (e.g., a PSU) to the V+ and V- terminals, respectively.

Refer to section 3.4. Auxiliary Power Supply Accessoryfor installation instructions for AUX-PS and TouchPanel-3. The same installation process also applies to AUX-PS-DC.

3. Installation

Group

Reporting Sequence: Select a group for your report destination The system will make report according to the following principle:

Group with higher priority will be reported first: Ex: Group 1  Group 2  Group 3….
If reporting to the first destination in a group fails, the system will move on to the next report destination in the group.
If reporting to one of the report destinations in a group is successful, the system will consider reporting to this group successful and stop reporting to rest of the destinations in the group. It will then move on to report to the next group.
If reporting to all destinations in a group fails, the system will retry report to group according to retry times set below. If reporting is still unsuccessful after retries, the system will move on to report the the next group according to Essential/Optional setting below.
After completing a round of reporting (From Group 1  Group 2 ….. Group5), If there is any group set as Essential which has not received report successfully, the system will restart the reporting cycle to retry reporting until every group set as Essential is reported successfully.

Essential/Optional:

Essential: the system will report to all groups set as Essential. The system will never give up trying to report to any group set as Essential until at least one of the destinations in every Essential group successfully receives the report. Group 1 is always set as Essential and cannot be changed.
Optional: The system will only report to group set as Optionalwhen reporting to its previous group fails. For example: if Group 3 is set is optional, the Control Panel will only report to Group 3 if reporting to Group 2 fails.

Retry: If reporting to all destinations in a group fails, the system will retry reporting to the group according to the retries times set here.

Disarming the System via Smartphone

To disarm the system via a paired smartphone:

When the system is away armed, approach TouchPanel-3 with the paired smartphone. Once TouchPanel-3 detects the paired smartphone within the BLE range, the system will automatically disarm.

Note:

The smartphone’s Bluetooth function needs to be turned ON. The effective BLE range may differ depending on different mobile devices.
After the system arms, a 30-second buffer is configured for the paired mobile to be out of TouchPanel-3 BLE range. TouchPanel-3 will start detecting only after the system is armed for 30 seconds. If the paired mobile is within the BLE range when the system arms, the system will not Disarm** until the 30-second buffer passes.**
