Rear Panel Connections RJ-45 Pin Out ELAN recommends using ELAN C4545 and/or C45P RJ-45 intercon- nect cables for all Cat-5 connections to the PVSE. Should you prefer to terminate your own RJ45 cables, refer to the diagram below for the correct pin-out.
VSE IR OUTPUTS on the PVSE to ADDITIONAL IR INPUTS on the PS12. Make sure to connect the correct VSE IR OUTPUT on the PVSE to the correct ADDITIONAL IR INPUT on the PS12. The diagram below shows VSE #1 connected to S12 Zone 1.
Cat-5 wire from the PVSE’s VSE IR OUTPUTS to the ZONE KEYPAD INPUTS of the S12. Connect IR from the PVSE to the Wh/Blue IR Input wire (PIN 2) of the S12. Connect G from the PVSE to Brown (Pin 7) of the S12. Make these connections in parallel with any keypads or touch panels that are in the same zone as the Electronic Volume Control.
Wh/Blue IR Input wire (PIN 2) of the S6. Connect G from the PVSE to Brown (Pin 7) of the S6. Make these connections in parallel with any keypads or touch panels that are in the same zone as the Electronic Volume Control.
(continued) VSE IR OUTPUTS Connections to PZ6 When installing an ELAN Z system, the PVSE will route IR from a specific Electronic Volume Control to a specific Z•system zone. Panel! To route IR to a specific Z•630 zone, use a run of Cat-5 to connect IR and Ground from VSE IR OUTPUTS on the PVSE to ZONE punch-down locations on a PZ6 Precision Panel.
If not using a PZ6 to install a Z• system, it is necessary to connect two conductors of a Cat-5 wire from the PVSE’s VSE IR OUTPUTS to the IR INPUTS of the Z•630. Connect IR from the PVSE to the IR INPUTS wire of the specific zone of the Z•630 that the Electronic Volume Control will be assigned to .
Control Override signal from a Z•600 Communications Controller and automatically route it to the VC+ and VC- connections on Electronic Volume Controls connected to the PVSE. Use of a PZ600 Precision Panel is highly recommended when installing a PVSE in an ELAN S6 or S12 system that includes a Z•600.
The OVERRIDE OUT RJ-45 jack is designed for system expansion. When connecting multiple PVSE’s, connect the OVERRIDE OUT RJ-45 jack from PVSE #1 to the OVERRIDE IN RJ-45 jack on PVSE #2. Continue the process for all PVSEs in the system. The diagram below shows a Z•600 connected to a PZ600, then to two PVSEs.
ELAN C45P RJ-45 to pigtail cable to connect VC+ and VC- from the back of the PZ6 to theOVERRIDE IN RJ-45 jack on the back of the PVSE as shown below. Pin 1 (Blue) of the RJ-45 cable is VC+, Pin 2 (Wh/Blue) is VC-.
In the example below, Dipswitch #1 is in the Up position. IR OUT #1 will pass IR sent from any Electronic Volume Control that is con- nected to the PVSE. Dipswitch #2 is in the Down position. IR OUT #2 will only pass IR from the Electronic Volume Control connected to the VSE 2 location.
Mute when voltage is absent. Connect a mono 3.5mm interconnect cable from a specific TRIGGERS port on the PVSE to a ZONE TRIGGER OUTPUT or UNIT TRIG OUT of a System12, a ZONE TRIGGER OUTPUT or SYSTEM TRIG OUT of an S6, the REMOTE OUT of a Z•POWER, Z•630 or Z•660 amplfier,...
3.5mm interconnect cable from an IR source’s IR output port to the IR IN port of the PVSE. Make sure to connect the correct out- put to the correct input! Connecting an IR source to the IR IN ALL port will send IR to all volume controls connected to the PVSE.
The IR OUT ports route IR that originates at the volume control loca- tion (typically a hand-held remote). Punch-downs are located on the rear of the PVSE that deal with IR routing for most ELAN system applications, therefore, the front panel IR OUT ports are seldom used in an ELAN system.
In the example below, Dipswitch #1 is in the Up position. IR OUT #1 will pass IR sent from any Electronic Volume Control that is con- nected to the PVSE. Dipswitch #2 is in the Down position. IR OUT #2 will only pass IR from the Electronic Volume Control connected to the VSE 2 location.
The TRIGGERS ports on the PVSE act as inputs. Although normally used for ELAN system integration, the TRIGGERS ports on the front of the PVSE can be used to activate the “Sense” feature of Electronic Volume Controls in Stand-Alone applications.
IR IN Connections It is possible to send IR to ELAN Electronic Volume Controls through the IR IN ports on the front of the PVSE. The volume control will respond to signals it receives just like it would if a hand-held IR remote control were pointed at it.
IR ROUTING Dipswitch #1 is in the Down position so that the DVD player can only be controlled from the volume control that is punched down to the VSE 1 location on the back of the PVSE. An A/V Receiver is connected to the ALL port and can be controlled by any volume control connected to the PVSE.
S Y S T E M S Power Supply Connections 12VDC/1.5A The PWR3 power supply that is included with the PVSE is designed to power up to six ELAN Electronic Volume Controls. Connect the power supply to the front of the PVSE as shown below.
