Contemporary Research 6 Display Express System Manual
Setup Tips for all Display Express Applications
Your installation will go well if you keep a few key facts in mind. If you don’t understand a bullet point, read the
rest of the manual or call CR Support.
Controller Installation
 Create a spreadsheet and divide the system into Zones before you begin. Otherwise, you’ll need
to change the controller addresses later on.
 Pre-test display control on at least one controller and display before starting. You can use a
Head End and iC Send to test on and off control. In most cases, all displays and controller settings are the
same across the system. If some are different, pre-test those, if possible.
PC Setup
 Change the Time Zone when you install the PC. All the units are shipped sent to Central or Pacific
Time. Also enable to synchronize with an Internet time server if possible (some networks may block that).
Remote PCs will display the Display Express web server’s time and date on the browser.
Software Updates
 New versions of Display Express can be installed over previous versions. You won't lose any data or
settings.
 Updaters for existing Display Express software are available on the CR website,
www.crwww.com/downloads.
