ELAN HOME SYSTEMS SC-1 INSTALLATION MANUAL
VNET-V485/RS485
When using the SC-1 with ELAN S86A/S86P Multi-Room Controllers
ELAN recommends using the SPP Precision Panel's Zone (X) A or B
punchdown locations. These multi-room controllers utilize V485 to
transfer information and status. The SS/SC4 Port connection on the
front of the SPP Precision Panel may also be utilized, but requires
the SC1 to be powered locally, see page 19 for more details.
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.
Using the VIA!NET run with Cat5 cable simplifies control of remotely
located RS-232 devices such as HVAC, security, pool equipment,
and ELAN's VIAmigo.
ZNET-Z485/RS485
When using the SC-1 with ELAN S6/S12 Multi-Room Controllers
ELAN recommends using the SS/SC4 data port on the front of the
SPP Precision Panel. These multi-room controllers utilize Z485 data
to transmit information and status so the use of a precision panel is
required. A PWR3 power supply will be needed for the SC-1 in this
application, see page 19. Ensure that the SPP ZNet/VNET switch is
in the ZNET Position and the SS/SC-4 switch is in the ON position. If
a Zone installation is required with a ZNET application see page 18
for SPP ZNET Zone wiring details.
