Description

Functional Description

The ST-DS is a microprocessor-based docking station designed to fast charge the ST-BTP (rechargeable power pack). A fast charge occurs in one of three possible configurations and can take between two and three hours (depending on whether the ST-BTP is fully discharged and the amount of current drawn during the charging process). Each situation is detailed in “Using the ST-DS to Charge the ST-BTP (Rechargeable Power Pack)” on page 4.

1.The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP alone.

2.The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP while the rechargeable power pack is installed in a touchpanel and the touchpanel is not in use.

3.The ST-DS charges the ST-BTP while the rechargeable power pack is installed in a SmarTouch STS touchpanel and the touchpanel is in use.

NOTE: Configuration 2 and 3 depend on the type of Crestron wireless touchpanel in use.

A second function of the ST-DS is to preserve the charge of the ST-BTP. As long as the contacts of the ST-BTP and the ST-DS remain together, the ST-DS “trickle charges” the ST-BTP in an attempt to maintain the ST-BTP for optimum performance. The duration of a “trickle charge” is continuous as long as the ST- BTP is not fully charged.
