Z!Series
In an ELAN Z-Series system, the SC-4 may be used:
As an interface between the VIA! Panels and enables system information to be fed back
!
from the Z System using a PZ6 Precision Panel.
!
To enable the VIA! Panels in your Z System to issue serial commands to RS232 controlled
sub-systems.
!
To provide quicker and more reliable control of ELAN's RS232 controlled components,
including the Z880 Video Controller and the SR-1 Sense/Relay Module.
HD Series
In an ELAN HD Series system, the SC-4 may be used:
!
As an interface between VIA! Panels in the system and and enables system information to
be fed back from the HD Series MCU using the PHD12 Precision Panel.
To enable the VIA! Panels in your HD System to issue serial commands to RS232
!
controlled sub-systems.
!
To provide quicker and more reliable control of ELAN's RS232 controlled components,
including the HD MCU, the Z880 Video Controller and the SR-1 Sense/Relay Module.
To enable control of each zone in the HD system from any VIA! Panel location.
!
Stand-Alone Systems and TOKEN commands
The ELAN SC-4 may also be used to control RS232-based control systems using VIA! Panels
and PVIA Wall Plates. The SC-4 supports one thousand token commands which enable your
ELAN system to interface with other RS232-based systems. NOTE: The SC-4 does not support
RS232 "hand-shaking". Systems which operate utilizing 5-wires (Transmit, Receive, Request to
Send, Clear to Send, and Ground) are NOT compatible with the SC-4. See page 26 for more
info.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE UTILIZING AN PVIA-1, PVIA-4, OR PVIA-10 WALL PLATE, IT IS NOT
NECESSARY TO USE THE SC-4'S OWN POWER SUPPLY. THE PVIA WALL PLATES WILL
SUPPLY ADEQUATE POWER TO THE SC-4. ADDITIONALLY, BE SURE TO CONNECT THE
SC-4 TO THE PVIA WALL PLATE ONLY AFTER ALL OTHER CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN
MADE!
1.
Use the provided DB9-to-six pin DIN cable to connect your computer's COMM Port to the
'PC HOST' terminal on the front of the SC-4. This connection will enable you to download
your completed program and serial data to the SC-4. NOTE: If your PC has a USB port
instead of a serial COMM port, a Belkin USB-to-RS232 converter will be required.
2.
Connect the SC-4's COMM ports to any RS232 controlled devices in your system (maxi-
mum of 4, plus as many as three ELAN RS232 controlled devices, i.e SR-1s, Z880s, or
HD MCU).
3.
Connect your VIA! Panels to the PVIA Wall Plate(s), and make the connection to the
SC-4's 'Network Interface' terminal. NOTE: Be sure to supply power to the VIA! Panels
using the power supply provided with the PVIA Wall Plate(s). See ELAN system-specific
hookup instructions on the following pages.
4.
Use the provided six pin DIN cables to connect the SC-4's 'ELAN RS232 OUT' terminal to
the ELAN SR-1, Z880, or HD Series MCU if applicable. NOTE: If using an SC-4, the SR-1
and Z880 must be serially controlled. IR control of the Z880 is still possible, but AutoBuild
will automatically configure the Z880 for serial control.
5.
If you are not utilizing a PVIA Wall Plate, Connect the supplied 16VDC 1.3A power supply
to the SC-4.
