Pharos TPS 5W - Designer Touch Panel Station with 5-inch Touchscreen and Mounting Plate in White Finish

The Pharos TPS 5W (Touch Panel Station 5") is an elegantly designed interface that features a customizable 5-inch capacitive touchscreen, specifically crafted to work seamlessly with any Pharos Designer Controller. This model is available in a sleek white finish, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and making it an attractive addition to any lighting control installation. The seamless, uninterrupted glass front plate not only looks sophisticated but also improves the overall touch experience, ensuring enhanced functionality, superior touch performance, and excellent screen resolution.

The vivid 5-inch touchscreen provides a resolution of 800x480 pixels, allowing users to navigate their project controls intuitively and appealingly. With a high DPI and responsive interface, the TPS 5W makes it quick and easy to activate presets, initiate manual overrides, or use a custom color picker to personalize lighting setups. This user-friendly design ensures that control over the Pharos Designer system is always at the user's fingertips, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

One of the most impressive features of the TPS 5W is its fully customizable user interface, which can be created using the free Pharos Designer software. Users have the freedom to design multiple pages of controls, incorporating buttons, sliders, keypads, and color pickers while configuring their appearance and visual feedback. To enhance user engagement, the TPS 5W allows the import of custom graphics and offers a selection of attractive themes, supporting extended character sets for languages like Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese, and Korean.

Built with cutting-edge technology, the TPS 5W enables five-point multi-touch capability, providing smooth transitions and higher screen fidelity. This upgraded technology allows for greater responsiveness and processing power, enabling the loading of more pages efficiently. Users can create interface pages within Pharos Designer while programming the controller, facilitating a streamlined workflow for commissioning.

Installation of the TPS 5W is straightforward, thanks to its innovative universal mounting solution. The included mounting plate is designed to fit a wide variety of regulatory backboxes, including those common in the UK, US, and EU. The TPS 5W attaches to the mounting plate using a bayonet twist system, ensuring a secure and toolless installation while keeping the MicroSD card out of reach during operation.

Scalability is a key aspect of the TPS 5W, allowing multiple Touch Devices to be integrated with one or more Pharos Designer Controllers on the same network. This capability supports the construction of an ideal lighting control system, with a maximum of 40 Controllers and Touch Devices that can be combined effortlessly. The TPS 5W connects to any Pharos Designer Controller using standard Ethernet protocols, ensuring flexible integration into various environments.

As a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) device, the TPS 5W simplifies installation by requiring only a single Ethernet cable for both power and data connectivity. This feature allows the touch panel to be positioned in remote locations, providing flexibility in installation design while maintaining a clean and efficient setup.

Overall, the Pharos TPS 5W is a sophisticated and versatile interface that combines advanced touch technology with customizable features, making it an essential component of any modern lighting control installation.
