TEST THE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

1. Place a telephone call from the resident's telephone to verify it is
operating properly, then hang up the phone.
NOTE: To ensure proper function of the audio and authorization
tones, keep the telephone handset at least 10 feet (3 m) from the
EL1SS during testing.
2. Ensure EL1SS is programmed for Telco or Intercom mode based
on application.
3. Press the "Call" key on the unit's keypad. The telephone in the
residence should ring.
NOTE: After the "Call" Button is pressed, the "Status" LED on the
processor board will blink during transmission.
4. To test Relay 1 press the "Call" button and have someone answer
the telephone and enter "*9" (Star + 9). The EL1SS will disconnect
the call as soon as the relay is activated. To test Relay 2 have
someone answer the telephone and enter "*5" (Star + 5). The
EL1SS will disconnect the call as soon as the relay is activated.

OPERATION

The EL1SS requires a Master Code (see page 12) to set up basic functions and settings. Use the STAR Key "
When the unit is being set up, certain tones will be heard (see chart below). Keypad commands should be entered in a single string to be
successful (indicated by a dual tone beep). Stop and go keystrokes will result in a negative tone (three short low tone beeps).

USING ENTRY CODES
The Entry Codes allow residents to activate an entry device connected to a relay (Relay 1 or Relay 2). There are two types of entry
codes available in this system. A Standard 4-Digit Code ONLY triggers the relay (1 or 2) the code has been assign to. A Special
Use 5-Digit Code (4-Digit Code + 1 or 2) triggers the corresponding relay that matches the last entered digit. Choosing between the
Standard 4-Digit Code or the Special Use 5-Digit Code entry codes depends on the application, standard 4-digit codes maximize
memory capacity for systems controlling two access points for a large number of users. Special use 5-digit codes provide custom
secured access for two independent access points (see chart below).
Standard 4-Digit Code
Special Use 5-Digit Code (Relay 1)
