—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the ELAN electronic equipment because of risk of fire or explosion.
With a current catalog of over 600 items and having been honored with many prestigous industry awards, ELAN is considered by many to be the leader in whole-house distributed audio/video systems.
Note: When using the V85's Cat-5 video outputs, the total number of outputs can be expanded to 16 using one chassis. Be aware, however, that the video of each Cat-5 output mirrors its corresponding component RCA video output.
DIP switches are correctly set for each unit to ensure proper switching. Note: When using the V85's Cat-5 video outputs, the total number of outputs can be expanded to 16 using one chassis and 64 outputs using 4 chassis. Be aware, however, that the video of each Cat-5 output mirrors its cor- responding component RCA video output.
V85/S66A When utilizing a S66A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be an economical and versatile video switching solution. In this application, the S66A routes analog audio and performs IR distribution and amplification functions. The V85 routes component video sources to TVs with component video inputs. The system below shares sources between the S66A and a local Home Theater.
INSTALLATION MANUAL V85/S86A or S86P When utilizing a S86A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be a powerful component video switching add- on. In this application, the S86A routes analog audio and composite video and performs IR distribution and ampli- fication functions.
The V85 is used to distribute component video. Although the S128P has component video capabilities, the use of the V85 frees up S128P video inputs and allows them to be used as composite video inputs that can be routed to ELAN touch panels and TV's that do not have component video inputs.
V85. See Appendix A: CVRM Component Video Receive Module for detailed specifications and dip-switch settings. Control Connections - IR There are two ways to send IR to the V85 using the 3.5mm IR IN port. The IR OUT port passes any IR signal that is TV/Monitor...
IR OUT port (typically an ‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V85. In this configuration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent to the V85.
IR OUT Port Any IR signal that is sent into the V85 through the IR IN port is passed out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V85s or as a convenient way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below.

DIP Switch Settings - Baud Rate Set the Baud Rate DIP switch to the 9600 position (Up) when utilizing RS-232 controllers that require this baud rate. Use the 19.2k (Down) position for ELAN RS-232 applications and third party controllers that operate at 19.2k. UNIT ID...
Use IR commands when controlling the V85 with ELAN keypads, Ole' Touchpads or hand-held remote controls. RS-232 Use RS-232 commands when controlling the V85 with the ELAN SS1 or other third-party RS-232 controllers or when using a computer to test/verify RS-232 functionality.

Output 6, Input 1 Output 7, Input 4 Output 8, Input 0 (OFF) Note: The V85 requires at least 50ms between each serial command transmitted to it. However, if the &V85,ACK,xxx<CR> is received prior to 50ms, another command can be transmitted immediately.
Controller such as the V85 to zones equipped with Hi-Definition video displays. Cat-5 video outputs from an ELAN V85 are connected to the RJ-45 input on the back of the CVRM (See V85 Cat-5 Video Pinout Below). Component video connections on the front of the CVRM are then connected to the compo- nent video inputs of a TV or other video display.
1. Mount the brackets onto the V85 chassis from the front. Ensure that the brackets are flush with the front of the V85. Install each of the eight screws (included) through the side mounting flanges into the holes in the sides of the unit as shown below.
