Purpose of this Manual This manual provides step-by-step installation instructions and connection examples, along with basic user information for installation and ongoing use of the TS2. This manual is written for the installer of this equipment. Organization The following information is contained in this manual.
“hot spot” that issues a control command and gives both audible and visual confirmation to the user when pressed. The TS2 is for use with ELAN Home Controllers running Core Module Software 5.0 or later and is not interchangeable with the Olé2XL.
INSTALLATION MANUAL The ELAN Story Located in Lexington, KY, USA, ELAN Home Systems has designed innovative multi-room audio/video systems since 1989. ELAN systems were the first to integrate music, intercom and TV distribution features that used the homeowner’s stereos, televisions and telephones to create the whole-house entertainment experience.
ELAN recommends test fitting a unit prior to installation. Pre-Wire Each TS2 Touchpad has an RJ45 jack on the back to allow for easy connection. Run Cat-5 wire from the central equipment location (head-end) to the location where each Touchpad will be installed.
TS2 Touchpads for outdoor use. Mounting Height The TS2 has no viewing angle limitations, so mounting height should be determined by the average height of the user. Typical mounting height is 56-60 inches from the floor to the bottom of the electrical box. This will provide optimum viewing for the largest number of people.
INSTALLATION MANUAL Connectors/Pinout The TS2 has a System RJ-45 connector and a five pin Interface Port connector which each perform specific functions. All applications will use the RJ-45 connector, while certain situations will require the use of the Interface Port.
IR receiver in the TS2. Any IR signal that is received from the front IR-RECEIVER is sent out both the Local IR- EMITTER OUT and the System IR Output. Pressing a button on the TS2 will not issue IR commands from these outputs.
Interface Port IR Receiver Note: In certain cases, the TS2’s built-in IR sensor can be flooded with plasma TV interference or other ambient light interference. In this case, connect a plasma-friendly IR sensor (ELAN IRS8EP, for example) to the Local IR Input and disable the built-in IR sensor using the Service Menu (See SERVICE MENU on page 25.)
TS2 connection to any of the ELAN System Controllers (HC12, HC6, etc.) is accomplished using the PPVN (VIA!NET Precision Panel.) A single Cat5 connects the TS2 to the VIA!NET punch downs on the back of the PPVN and a Cat5 jumper connects from the front of the PPVN to the VIA!NET port on the System Controller.
PPVN (VIA!NET Precision Panel) and an SC1. A single Cat5 connects the TS2 to the VIA!NET punch downs on the back of the PPVN and a Cat5 jumper connects from the front of the PPVN to the VIA!NET port on the SC1.
The Service Menu is used to make initial connections to the system, enable and disable TS2 features and to provide VIA!NET and TS2 configuration information. It is accessed by pressing the SERVICE MENU BUTTON (see Page 8.) The MAIN MENU screen will be displayed as shown below.
1. In the ELAN Configuration Software on the Interface Tab add the SC1 as a communication device and select the COM port that it is connected to. See the TS2 Integration Note for more information.
The Service Menu (continued) Speaker The TS2 features a small speaker that allows audible feedback signals to be heard as a result of button pushes. The speaker can be enabled or disabled in the Service Menu. Factory default setting is ENABLED.
INSTALLATION MANUAL IR Sensor The TS2 features a built-in IR Sensor. IR signals from a hand-held IR remote control pass through the IR sensor and travel to the head-end location and out of the IR emitter OUT connection of the Interface Port. The IR sensor can be enabled or disabled in the Service Menu.
INSTALLATION MANUAL Light Sensor Disable The TS2 features a light sensor that allows the backlighting of the TS2 to adjust based on the ambient light in the room. The light sensor can be enabled or disabled in the Service Menu. The light sensor should be calibrated with the room lighting at its brightest setting.
