  • Page 18: Chapter 2: S128P System Design Overview Introduction

    Figure 2-1: System Design Pre-Wire This section will explain the specifics of pre-wiring for an S128P system. Care should be taken at this stage to ensure a properly operational system. Most system wiring is “home-run” from the device being installed (a keypad, for example) back to the equipment location, or “head-end”.
  • Page 19 Use stranded, twisted pair speaker wire between amplifiers and speakers. Local Source/LSWP • Cat-5 Local Sources connect to the S128P using an LSWP Local Source Wall Plate with Cat-5 (see page 47). Remotely Located Sources • Cat-5 • RG6 or RG59 coax (if necessary) Remotely located sources connect to the S128P using an ELAN RSWP with Cat-5.

  • Page 20: Applications

    E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S Applications This section describes typical applications using the S128P in audio/video/automation installations. These are all basic in nature and should be used for guideline purposes only. Each application can be augmented as needed for individual circumstances.

  • Page 21: Stereo Zones

    Stereo Zones To create an independent stereo zone, simply connect the S128P’s Variable Zone Audio Outputs to a pair of ampli- fier channels. Volume will be controlled using IR or RS-232 commands at pre-amp level. Any and all speakers con- nected to these channels will ramp volume up/down together.

  • Page 22: Stereo Zone W/ Fixed Sub-Zone

    Volume up/down will be controlled with the volume control located in each part of the zone. If using ELAN electronic volume controls, system and source control is possible using a hand-held remote control. This application uses the least amount of amplifier channels possible.

  • Page 23: Stereo Zone W/ Fixed/Variable Sub-Zone

    Stereo Zone w/ Stereo Sub-Zone This application takes full advantage of the S128P’s Fixed and Variable Zone Audio Outputs. The main zone utilizes the Variable outputs. An Olé Touch Pad or VIA! Touch Panel controls source selection, source control, etc. and vol- ume up/down in the main zone.
