    ELAN’s SPP Precision Panel for the System12 Multi-Room A/V Controller (S12) makes quick work out of configuring a VIA!Valet Touch Panel to con- trol S12 zones. Unlike in-wall VIA!s, a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate is necessary when using a VIA!Valet with an S12. The Figure 2-7 below shows one VIA!Valet100EM Touch Panel, one PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, four VIA!70EM Touch Panels, and a SPP connected to an ELAN S12.

    System8 (S8) The VIA!Valet100EM’s flexibility makes it a good candidate for System8 (S8.6) applications. Use a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate for each VIA!Valet100EM to be installed. The Figure 2-10 below shows a VIA!Valet100EM, a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, four VIA!70EMs and a SPP Precision Panel configured for use with an ELAN S8.6.

    E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S PVIA1VALET System6 (S6) The VIA!Valet100EM is ideal for System6 (S6) applications. Use a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate for each VIA!Valet100EM to be installed. The Figure 2-9 below shows a VIA!Valet100EM, a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, three VIA!70EMs and a SPP Precision Panel configured for use with an ELAN S6.

  • Page 20: Standalone Connections

    The VIA!Valet is ideal for use as a stand-alone system controller or Home Theater controller. For control of a Home Theater system, the VIA!Valet100EM and PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate are combined with a method for IR distribution such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified Connection Block. Signals originate at the VIA!Valet100EM, pass through the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, then travel to the connection block where they are routed to each component.
