VHTO100
INSTALLATION MANUAL

Introduction

The VHTO100 is a high power speaker
switching module that allows ELAN Page
and Door Chime audio to be heard through
speakers in non-ELAN system areas such
as the Home Theater. A 12VDC signal-
transmitted by an ELAN Z•600
Communications Controller, ELAN HD
Series MCU or a MAC24/AV-L2 whenever
a Page or Door Chime is initiated-triggers
a pair of relays on the VHTO100, switching
the audio path from the local system
amplifier to the ELAN system amplifer.
In a Home Theater, ELAN Page and Door
Chime audio can be routed to the rear
channel speakers. This does not interupt
the entire movie presentation, (as the front
and center channel speakers will continue
to broadcast the movie audio) yet allows
the Page and Door Chime audio to be
easily heard. Another application might be
in a child's room with a stand-alone local
system and the parents wish to have
ELAN Page and Door Chime audio heard.
