Bind the Portable Touchscreen
Before binding your Portable Touchscreen, please confirm the installation meets the following requirements:
• Both the receptacle station (UH1RS) and the Portable Touchscreen (P-LCD-P) have been added to the configured
space in LightDesigner.
• The Portable Touchscreen must be enabled for use with the specific receptacle station (UH1RS). This is set in the
“Portable” property of the LightDesigner Property Editor for the Touchscreen. You can enable a Portable Touchscreen
to more than one receptacle station in a configuration. The displayed configuration and theme may be different for
each configured Touchscreen and receptacle station connector depending on the assignments in the configured
space.
• The receptacle station’s physical ID (found on a label on the front of the UH1RS station) must be associated to the
configured receptacle station in LightDesigner. This ID should be manually entered into the “Connector ROM” property
in the LightDesigner Property Editor for that station. This is the recommended approach as it avoids manual binding at
the Paradigm processor.
• The LightDesigner configuration has been uploaded to the Paradigm ACP(s). Reference the LightDesigner online help
system for details on uploading a configuration.
Step 1: Physically connect the Portable Touchscreen to the receptacle station (UH1RS).
NOTE: Startup takes a minimum of 20 seconds depending on the configuration. If the receptacle station‘s
physical ID is associated in the Paradigm configuration, the Portable LCD will automatically bind
at startup. If you receive a “No Response from Server” message, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: At the Paradigm processor facepanel, press enter to access the menu.
Step 3: Navigate to the Arch Setup > LonWorks Connections menu and bind the Touchscreen station using the
“Connect Device” option. Reference the Paradigm ACP Configuration Manual for complete details on
connecting a device.
Configuration and Theme Files
Exporting Files from LightDesigner
Step 1: From the LightDesigner configuration, select (File) “Export Portable LCD Files”. The “Export Portable LCD
Files” dialog displays.
Step 2: Select which Portable LCD files will be exported from the selection and click [OK]. The “Browse For Folder”
dialog displays for selection of a location the files will be exported to, such as a removable USB device. Two file
types will be exported, the configuration file saves with a “.lcdconf” extension and the theme saves with an
“.lcdtheme” extension.
NOTE: It is best to store the configuration and theme files to removable media for loading to the
Touchscreen.
Loading Files onto the Touchscreen
NOTE: If the Portable Touchscreen is already bound to the Paradigm processor, it will automatically begin
retrieving its LCD configuration file when powered. Press the [Cancel] button to stop the transfer
and manually load the configuration files instead.
