V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS Chapter 2. System Design & Applications System Design The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad, touch panel, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place.
ELAN HOME V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEMS Pre-Wire V85 WIRING CONSIDERATIONS • Component Video Outputs Component/RCA Video Patch Cables • Cat-5 Video Outputs CAT5 RJ45 to RJ45 • RS232 DB9 Cables • IR 2 Conductor Wire w/ 3.5mm mono connector This section describes typical applications using the V85 in video distribution installations. These are all basic in nature and should be used for guideline purposes only.
V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS Multi-Chassis Stand-Alone System This application shows four V85s linked together to form an 8 x 32 component video matrix. Verify that the UNIT ID DIP switches are correctly set for each unit to ensure proper switching. Note: When using the V85's Cat-5 video outputs, the total number of outputs can be expanded to 16 using one chassis and 64 outputs using 4 chassis.
ELAN HOME V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEMS ELAN Multi-Room Controller-Based Applications There are many possible applications when using the V85 in ELAN Multi-Room Controller-based systems. This section shows basic concepts that can be combined or arranged according to the needs of the exact system being installed. V85/S66A When utilizing a S66A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be an economical and versatile video switching solution.
V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS V85/S86A or S86P When utilizing a S86A Integrated Multi-Room Controller, the V85 can be a powerful component video switching addon. In this application, the S86A routes analog audio and composite video and performs IR distribution and amplification functions. The V85 routes component video sources to TVs with component video inputs and the S86A routes composite video to TVs and ELAN Touch Panels with composite video inputs.
ELAN HOME V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEMS V85/S128P This application shows an S128P Multi-Room A/V Controller performing audio distribution functions as well as composite video switching. The V85 is used to distribute component video. Although the S128P has component video capabilities, the use of the V85 frees up S128P video inputs and allows them to be used as composite video inputs that can be routed to ELAN touch panels and TV's that do not have component video inputs.
V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS Chapter 3: Connections Component Video Outputs Use high-quality component video cables to make connections between sources and the V85’s inputs. Sources will typically be located near the V85 at the head-end of the system. Component video outputs will typically be sent via RG-6 coaxial cables from the head-end to televisions, monitors and video projectors with component video inputs located throughout the house.
ELAN HOME V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEMS sent to the V85's IR IN port. IR IN Port Most ELAN multi-room applications will utilize the rear IR IN port for IR control. Use a 3.5mm mono interconnect cable to connect between an IR OUT port (typically an ‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V85. In this configuration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent to the V85.
V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL ELAN HOME SYSTEMS IR OUT Port Any IR signal that is sent into the V85 through the IR IN port is passed out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V85s or as a convenient way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below. V85 #2 V85 #1 IR IN IR IN 3.
ELAN HOME V85 INSTALLATION MANUAL SYSTEMS Control Connections - RS-232 Use the SERIAL PORTS when a computer, third party, or ELAN RS-232 controller will be used with the V85.
