    ELAN HOME SYSTEMS SC-1 INSTALLATION MANUAL Introduction The SC-1 has one Serial Port for the integration of local and system RS-232-controlled sub-systems and components (i.e. lighting, temperature, security), allowing wired VIA! Touch Panels, Wireless Color Touch Panels, and Olé Touchpads to control these systems.

    Applications The SC-1 is extremely versatile. Whether being located in the ‘head- end’ of a central equipment rack or remotely located in the Zone or a combination of both, the SC-1 makes adding a serial controlled devices easy.
  • Page 9 The S86A/S86P Multi-Room Controller uses a VIA!NET data buss to transmit V485 information. A basic S86A/P can take advantage of the KP 1-6 connector for a direct link to the SC-1 when an SPP Precision Panel is not used. Direct connection of an Olé Touch Pad to the SC-1 streamlines the wiring network when installing a single SC-1 to an S86P as shown in applications Figure 2-2.

    This chapter describes all necessary connections for installing the SC-1. VIA!NET When adding an SC-1 to expand Com Port capability use a Cat-5 wire with ELAN Standard RJ-45 pinout to connect the SC-1 to a system’s VIA!NET when installing ELAN devices including SS1s. Set the SPP SS/SC4 switch to the up position (ON).

  • Page 19 SC-1 INSTALLATION MANUAL SPP/VNET When locating an SC-1 in a Zone, i.e. to control a TV or VIAmigo, use a Cat-5 wire with ELAN Standard RJ-45 pinout to connect the SC-1 to an SPP ZONE VIA 16V punchdown when installing the SC- 1.
  • Page 20 When a Zone application is necessary for S6/S12 Multi-Room controllers, use a Cat-5 wire with ELAN Standard RJ-45 pinout to connect the SC-1 to an SPP ZONE VIA 16V punchdown and the RS485 expansion block. Connect the IR, V485+/-, GND, and +16V to the ZONE VIA Punchdown and the Z485+/- to the RS485 Expansion block when installing the SC-1.
