• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Caution: Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by ELAN could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
System Design is typically comprised of Prewire, Rough-In, and Trim-Out. The following sections will describe each phase of the installation process as they pertain to installing ELAN VIA!Valets and the PVIA1 Precision Panel specifically. Rear...
VIA!Valet100EM, System SS1, ELAN Sensors all controlling many IR sources and Serial devices as shown in Figure 2-6. Figure 2-5 below shows a VIA!Valet100EM, A PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate, two VIA!70EMs and a PVIA4 Wall Plate controlling a stack of A/V gear. See VIA!Tools for additional program- ming details.
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.
E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S Connections Rear Panel ELAN recommends using Cat-5 cable for connections to the SPP from the PVIA1 Valet. Refer to the SPP Overlay being used for the correct pin-out. SPP to PVIA1VALET (Using 16 VDC from SPP) PVIA-1 Z485-...
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.
Panel for complete VIA! connectivity. Connect PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate to the VIA!Valet100EM as shown. Connect IR, RS485+/- and GND between the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and the SPP Precision Panel as shown. Please consult the SPP Installation Manual for additional details.
VIA!Valets in a System8 (S8). Connect the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate to the VIA!Valet100EM as shown below. Connect IR, V485+/-, and GND between the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and the SPP, as shown. Multiple VIA!s will connect in the same way. Please consult the SPP Installation Manual for additional details.
PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate to the VIA!VALET100 as shown. Connect IR, V485+/- and GND from the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate to an ELAN C45P, then connect to the S6 as shown below. Multiple VIA!s will connect in the same way.
The SPP Precision Panel provides power and signal routing for up to Ten VIA! Touch Panels. For each VIA!Valet, a PVIA1 Valet version needs to be con- nected to the SPP. Connect IR, V485+/-, and GND between the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and the SPP, as shown below.
PWR1 Power Supply to power the PVIA1, when the PVIA1 is more than 110 feet from the PVIA4. Connect IR, V485+/-, and GND between the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and the VIA1 110 punchdown connector on the PVIA4. Punchdown an ELAN C45P to the XLink 110 connector and connect to the ELAN multi-room controller as shown below.
ELAN SS1 System Station or VIA! SC-4 System Controller. Use Figure 3-9 to configure a S8. Connect IR, V485+/-, and GND between the PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate and the PVIA1 Inwall Wall Plate. Connect a ELAN C45P to the screw terminal connec- tors and connect to the ELAN multi-room controller as shown.
Many Home Theater receivers, Satellite, and Cable boxes have secondary composite video monitor ports located on them that can be use to connect to the PVIA1 Valet. Also, matrix video switchers like ELAN’s Z•880 or V883 can be used to distribute video to the VIA!Valet, Projectors and TV monitors throughout the home.
E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S IR Out - Rear The ELAN IRD4 is the perfect companion to the PVIA1 Valet in a stand-alone application. The IRD4 is a single input, four output Amplified IR Connection Block designed to provide a convenient way of interconnecting IR control of source components to the PVIA1Valet.
VIA!Valets can be powered locally by the power supply that comes with the PVIA1 Valet, or powered by the power supply that is to be used with an SPP Precision Panel is used in an ELAN Multi-Room System. The SPP has con- nectivity provided for a PWR1, PWR4, and PWR10 Power Supply.
Touch Panel. Connect an ELAN PWR9 9 VDC Power Supply into the 9 VDC connector on the PVIA1 Valet and plug it into the switched outlet of the source device. The VIA! Touch Panel can then sense whether source voltage is present or not, and display feedback and execute macros based on the source power state.
With respect to equipment sold by, but not manufactured by ELAN, the warranty obligations of ELAN shall in all respects conform to the warranty actually extended to ELAN by its supplier. The foregoing warranties do not cover reimbursement for labor, transportation, removal, installation or other expenses which may be incurred in connection with repair or replacement.
