DESIGN/CONFIGURATION
STAND-ALONE CONFIGURATION
The VSE100 can be used in stand-alone configuations without using an
ELAN whole-house controller. Each stand-alone scenario will be slightly dif-
ferent, but all will connect the same way as the following diagram explains.
The basic connections for stand-alone systems are as follows:
1
.
Amplifier Input:
Speaker wires from the amplifier (L+/-, R+/-)
2 Speaker Output:
Speaker wires to speakers (L+/-, R+/-)
3
.
Power:
+12 Volts DC & Ground (RJ45 +12VDC=Gr/Wh,GND=Br)
4
.
IR:
IR Output and Ground (RJ45 IR=Wh/Bl, GND=Br)
ELAN SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
The VSE100 is ideally suited for many ELAN whole-house audio distribution
applications. Features such as Volume Control Override, Impedance
Matching, SENSE, and the built-in IR receiver allow this unit to seamlessly
integrate into the most basic or complex ELAN systems that the installer can
imagine. Following are diagrams showing typical applications using the
VSE100 in ELAN S, Z, and HD system designs.
NOTE: Zones vs. Sub-Zones
A “Zone” is defined as an area of a whole-house audio system that has
separate source control/selection capabilities.
A “Sub-Zone” is a room or area that shares source selection/control with
another area, but typically has separate ability to control volume for the
sub-zone.

IR INPUT
The VSE100 has an IR Output (utilizing the built-in IR receiver) and an IR
Input (to control the VSE100 from another device.) When designing systems
with sub-zones, this IR Input will allow individual sub-zone control (including
Volume) from a keypad without having to use a separate Volume Control
mounted in the wall.
