WP8 is a programmable Wall Control Panel. Every button is programmable and works
either individually or together. WP8 is built in the programmable 3 RS232, 1 RS485, 3
Infrared & 2 Relay, and 1 mini USB for programming.
Please notice, RS232 (1) and IR2 share the same port, cannot be used at the same
time. Also, RS232 (2) and IR3 share the same port, cannot be used at the same time.
It can fully control the PTN product, as well as third party devices such as projectors,
screens etc. It is an easy-to-use control device for presentation show rooms,
classrooms and boardrooms.

Notes:Please confirm if the product and the accessories are all included, if not,
please contact with the dealers.
2. Features
Every button can be programmed to send the bi-direction RS232 and RS485
commands simultaneously to control third party devices.
Every button can be programmed to send the infrared code, control the relay, to let
them work simultaneously to control the third party devices.
Every button is built in the infrared code and RS232 code learning function, and
baud-rate setting.
ID looping function. 99pcs WP8 can be looped and controlled together, by ID
identifying.
Programmed by USB or RS232, working with PTN PC software (PS-WP).

4. Connection Introduction
4.1 Introduction of the Interfaces
Mini USB Connector:
1. Communicate with PC
which uses PS-WP to
program the buttons.
2. Transmit the infrared
data when learning IR
(Optional).
Infrared sensor port:
receive and learn the IR
code, to build the IR
database.

The WP8 has various ports in the rear panel, including Lopping port, RS232 port,
RS485 port, IR port, Relay port and Power port. Below is the introduction:
①This port includes two parts:
One part is RS232 (2)/IR3, it can be used for control other devices or looping
output. RS232 (2) and IR3 share the same port, the detailed use depends on the
setting of PS-WP.
Other part is RS232 (3), it can be used for control other devices or looping output,
or connect with PC.
These two parts share the same grounding.
②This port includes: RS232 (1)/IR2, IR1 and RS485.
a) RS232 (1)/IR2: share the same port, the detailed use depends on the setting of
PS-WP. When be used as RS232, it is unidirectional transmission, transmit
data but without receive.
b) IR1: for control other devices, it can be programmable by the PS-WP.
c) RS485: the RS485 can be programmed as different commands and control the
device with RS485 port. The command of RS485 is the same as RS232 (1).
③Low-Voltage relay ports: set the relay on/off by software PS-WP.
④Power connector: 12VDC. Be sure that the “+” and “-” never be mixed or
wrong connection.

4.2 Connection of Programming and Looping
WP8 can be connected to the computer for programming, to default the functions of
every button. It can be connected by USB or RS232, working with the PS-WPsoftware.
It is shown as below:
Programming Connection
Several pieces WP8 can be also looped to be a system, for control more devices. It is
looped by the inter RS232 setting. Please check the demo picture as below:
Several WP8 Looping connecting
After connect the WP8 as above, and then we should set the ID of each WP8 by
PS-WP. The ID number is from 01 to 99, and it also is the class of WP8 in the loop,

different WP8 should set to different ID. After connections finish, we can set the control
modes by PS-WP. For detailed connecting, please check the picture below:

5. System Operations
5.1 Introductions of the Front Panel
Crystal and luminescent, programmable buttons:
Every button can be programmable with PTN software PS-WP.
Connect the PC via USB or RS232.
And every label inside the button can be changeable. You can choose the label you
need and change it very easily like below:
(For the specific transparent paper table, please contact the local distributor or reseller
for it)

5.2 USB Driver Installation
There are USB driver file and PS-WP software in the disk. The PS-WP can run directly
without installation.
But when connect WP8 with PC by USB, it may need to install the USB driver. Use the
driver file to install the driver of USB, we can use USB to program the WP8.
5.3 Software Programming
You can use this PTN software PS-WP to easily set every button of WP8.
After connect WP8 with PC by USB or RS232, we can open the PS-WPto program the
buttons for controlling.
The main window of PS-WP has five parts: main menu, panel (button) setting, event
setting, action list and event list. In this manual we will take WP8-V for example, to
show the uses of all functions.
The main window of PS-WP is as below:
We will introduce all the configurations one by one.

view are different with different models. The pictures below show the differences
between WP8-V and WP8-H.
NOTICE: When select the model WP8, it will pop up “Output Port Selection” dialog,
user can select different RS and IR types, depend on the uses of the two shared ports.
The dialog is as the picture below:
