Signal Input Connections; Relay Connections - Elan EL-IO-200 Quick Install Manual

6. Signal Input Connections

Two signal input ports provide a way to trigger events based on a contact closure or voltage
input. Detects 5V to 12V DC / 24VAC Max.
Contact Closure*
*Please verify your device can accept 12V input for contact closure, as this could cause
damage the device if not rated for 12V.
For example, use a contact closure on driveway sensors to trigger lights or push messages.
Or use the voltage detector to sense when a standard doorbell chime is rung to trigger an
ELAN doorbell chime through an audio system.
NOTE: DO NOT WIRE DIRECTLY TO THE DOORBELL BUTTON, THIS WILL DAMAGE THE
EL-IO-200.
For detailed wiring instructions, please refer to the Integration Note.

7. Relay Connections

Two normally open relays are available for controlling third party devices - motorized lifts,
window shades, and projection screens. The included removable connectors will accept up
to 16ga bare copper leads. Be careful to verify that no portion of one wire touches the other
wire. Prior to connection verify that the connected load does not exceed 24volts AC/DC or
1amp. If either parameter is exceeded, add a higher capacity relay to control the load and use
the EL-IO-200 output to control that relay.
NOTE: The relays only control turning the external load on / off and do not supply any
power.
