Removing a Crestron touch panel can seem daunting, especially if you are unfamiliar with the device's installation and security features. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring that you can safely and effectively remove your Crestron touch panel without damaging it or the surrounding area.
Crestron offers a range of touch panels, including the TSW-560, TSW-760, and TSW-1060 models. These devices are designed for easy integration into various AV systems, providing users with intuitive control over their environments. However, there are specific steps and precautions to consider when removing these panels.
Before you begin the removal process, gather the following tools:
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Phillips screwdriver (if applicable)
- Release key (if your model includes one)
- Soft cloth (to protect the screen)
Before removing the touch panel, ensure that it is powered off. You can do this by selecting 'Exit System' on the touch panel and confirming the shutdown.
Many Crestron touch panels include security latches to prevent unauthorized removal. Check if your model has these latches:
- If there is no latch, gently pull the panel away from the wall.
- If a latch is present, proceed to Step 3.
To disengage the security latch:
1. Locate the Slot: Find the slot on the top of the touch panel where you can insert a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Insert and Rotate: Insert the screwdriver into this slot and rotate it to unlock the latch. This action will retract the latch arms.
3. Pull Away: With the latch released, gently pull on the touch screen until it disengages from the mounting bracket.
Once you have pulled the touch panel away from the wall:
- Carefully disconnect any cables attached to it, such as Ethernet or power cables. Make sure to handle these connections gently to avoid damage.
After disconnecting all cables, continue pulling on the touch screen until it is completely free from its mounting bracket.
To enhance your understanding of this process, refer to these images and videos that illustrate each step:

- Always handle the touch panel with care to avoid scratches or damage.
- If you encounter resistance while pulling away from the wall, double-check for any remaining screws or latches.
- Use a soft cloth to protect the screen from fingerprints or scratches during handling.
While removing a Crestron touch panel is generally straightforward, there are some common issues that users may encounter:
- Stuck Panels: If your panel feels stuck after attempting to pull it away from the wall, check for hidden screws or additional security latches that may need disengaging.
- Cable Resistance: Sometimes, cables may get caught or tangled during removal. Ensure all cables are free before fully detaching the panel.
- Damage Concerns: Be cautious of applying too much force when pulling on the panel. If resistance is felt, reassess whether all latches and screws have been addressed.
When planning to remove a Crestron touch panel, consider these additional factors:
Ensure that you are working in a clean environment free from distractions. This will help prevent accidental drops or damage during removal.
Choose an appropriate time for removal when usage of the device is low or when it will not disrupt others who rely on its functionality.
Refer to your specific model's user manual for any unique instructions related to your device. Each model may have slight variations in design and removal procedures.
Removing a Crestron touch panel is a straightforward process if approached with caution and proper tools. By following these steps carefully, you can ensure that your device is removed safely without causing any damage.
If your touch panel is stuck, check for any hidden screws or security latches that may need to be released before removal.
While some models may allow for easy removal by hand, having tools like a flat-head screwdriver is recommended for models with security latches.
Yes, as long as you follow proper procedures and take precautions not to damage the device or surrounding area.
If your panel breaks during removal, contact Crestron's customer support for assistance with repairs or replacements.
Always use soft cloths and handle all components gently. Ensure that all cables are disconnected before fully removing the device.
