2-Way RF Wireless Touchpanel 

Crestron 

STX-1700C 

 

General Use and Safety  

WARNING:  

To avoid shock hazard and possible damage to the unit, do not use 

touchpanel in rain or expose it to unnecessary moisture.  

Recommended Touchpanel Cleaning 

Keep the surface of the touchscreen free of dirt, dust, or other materials that could 
degrade optical properties. Long-term contact with abrasive materials can scratch the 
surface that may detrimentally affect image quality. 

For best cleaning results, use a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth with any 
commercially available non-ammonia glass cleaner. Surrounding plastic enclosure 
may not provide a complete watertight seal. Therefore, apply cleaning solution to the 
cloth rather than the surface of the touchscreen. Wipe touchscreen clean and avoid 
ingress of moisture beneath panels.

You can create a program that allows you to set up the STX-1700C to operate a 
Crestron control system using the Crestron programming tools Crestron 
SystemBuilder™ and SIMPL Windows. These tools are intended for users with 
different levels of programming knowledge. The flexibility of each tool is 
proportional to the degree of programming expertise (i.e., the more flexible, the 
more a programmer needs to know and account for). Of course, one can initiate 
programming using the easiest method (SystemBuilder) and use advanced 
techniques that are available from SIMPL Windows to customize the job. 
 
VT Pro-e is a Windows

®

 compatible software package for creating Crestron 

touchpanel screen designs. Refer to “Programming with VT Pro-e” on page 18 for 
additional details regarding VT Pro-e.
