Page 14: Installation
E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S Installation ELAN Precision Panels The VIA!4.0 will require an ELAN Precision panel to properly function. The specific application will determine the specific Precision Panel needed. Each of these panels provides a power supply of the cor- rect voltage (+16VDC) and amperage for the application being cov- ered. - Page 15 The PS12 Precision panel is designed to accomodate all connectivity required for Systyem12 installation, including VIA! Touch Panels. Unlike the PVIA Panels, the PS12 will only work with ELAN’s System12 Multi-Room Controller. Each PS12 will provide connec- tions for S12 systems up to eight zones. A separate power supply must be used when connecting VIA! Touch panels to a System12.
