DLite Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Next week, we are (finally) getting all our T3 touch screens replaced with T4's. Will the in-wall T4's be able to use the same mounting hardware already installed for the in-wall T3's? Or will the mounting hardware have to be replaced? Thanks!

0 RyanE Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 They use the same back box, so wall mounting is unchanged. I believe they have a different 'mid box', which is the part of the electronics that stays (connected to power / network) in the back box when you remove the touch panel from the wall. The product documentation states this: https://www.control4.com/docs/product/t4-series-touchscreen/data-sheet/english/revision/B//t4-series-touchscreen-data-sheet-rev-b.pdf "Compatible with T3 backbox" RyanE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cyknight Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 There should be no major 'work' that needs to be done to swap them out. The hardest part will be getting the T3 screens off the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bdo21 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I have T3s using the wall smart bracket so they are flush with the wall. Is it possible to upgrade to a T4 without causing damage to the wall? If it just means replacing the wall smart bracket, that could be feasible but if the wall smart dimensions are different so the wall needs work, it is much harder!

Thanks Interesting question… my dealer will be trying to replace 2 T3s with T4s at my holiday home next week. They are both installed in wall with wall smaRt mounts so I should know the answer next week… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Cyknight Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Yeah....Wall-Smart is likely going to be a problem. First of all, the T3 came in a 7", the T4 is 8" so that won't fly, and the wall-smart units for the 10" are certainly different based on their spec sheet drawings, and the two units have different sizes....I don't see any 'adapter' options on their site, though they may one or coming with one, but that is for them to say. For a 'standard' t3 to t4 conversion (or the other way around for that matter) it's a non-issue, just to be clear on that. If anything if your screen is installed on an uneven wall (a rock-wall for example) the T4 bracket will likely make it easier/cleaner than the T3 was.

Question
DLite
Next week, we are (finally) getting all our T3 touch screens replaced with T4's. Will the in-wall T4's be able to use the same mounting hardware already installed for the in-wall T3's? Or will the mounting hardware have to be replaced?
Thanks!
