3. Installation Requirements and Preparation

Power Supply

TouchOne G3 requires a 12V-14V 15W power supply (measured at the end of line) for smooth operation. Certified compatible power supplies include: 

  • Mean Well GE18I12-P1J Plug Pack (used in the 8PS-PP18xx-1x power supply kit) 

  • Mean Well APV-16-12 / APV-16E-12 Power Supply (used in the 8PS-IW15-1x power supply kit) 

  • TouchOne PoE Adaptor (Used in 8PS-POE25-1x power supply kit) 

For an updated list, please visit mytouchone.com/g3-power

Wire Harness

TouchOne G3 includes a 4 wire - wire harness for connection to power and data (either via a suitable connector or soldering). Power requirements are listed in the Power Supply section above. The 2 wire data connection is for Certified Compatible control systems.  

TouchOne Certified Compatible power supplies (8PS-PP18xx-1x or 8PS-POE25) include a different wire harness for a tool-less plug-and-play connection. 

Orientation

TouchOne can be mounted in either Landscape or Portrait orientation to provide the best user experience for the applications you will be using.

Important Notice: Some applications will only support one orientation so it’s important to check the orientation compatibility of the apps your want to use before screwing TouchOne to the wall. 

4. Hardware Installation

Step 1 - Install Power Supply

The selected power supply should be installed as per the included instructions. For safety, make sure the power supply is turned off during the installation process. If you are using the TouchOne Barrel Jack Adaptor, it’s recommended to cable tie the power supply wire and the barrel jack wire together to ensure they don’t come disconnected during installation.  

Example of power supply installation. Please refer to the power supplies included installation manual.

Step 2 - Mark and Drill Holes

Hold the included Wall Mount onto the wall in either Portrait or Landscape, using a spirit level to ensure the mount is level. Mark two screw holes and the wire cutout using a pencil. 

For mounting to plasterboard: Drill two 2.5mm (7/64 inch) pilot holes.

For mounting to masonry: Drill two 6mm (1/4 inch) holes for the included wall anchors. 

If the wire is being fed through the wall, drill an appropriately sized hole (at least 20mm or 3/4 inch) in the wire cutout for the wire to come through.

Important Notice: If mounting to a standard flush box, use the appropriate screw holes for the flush box. 6-32 UNC flush box screws can be used with the wall mount instead of the included screws. 

Step 3 - Screw Mount to Wall

Using the included screws, screw the wall mount to the wall. Double check for level when tightening the screws.

Step 4 - Wire and Connect to Power

Bring the power supply wire through the wire cutout and connect to the back of TouchOne. 

Step 5 - Mount TouchOne

Feed the wire back into the wall and mount TouchOne onto the Wall Mount. Slide TouchOne in the direction of the camera until you feel a click. 

Once you apply power to the power supply, TouchOne will boot automatically. In a successful installation, you’ll see the TouchOne logo within 3 seconds of applying power.
