The VIA!
®
SC4 System Controller takes
RS-232 system integration into a new
generation of programmer-less setup.
The SC4 is an RS-232 system network
interface. It enables up to thirty VIA! Touch
Panels to control up to four RS-232-based
systems or components such as lighting,
security, temperature, A/V processors and
more. A fifth, dedicated serial port allows
you to control ELAN components such as
the new System12, the HD Series MCU,
the Z•880 Video Controller and the SR1
Sense/Relay/IR Controller.
The SC4 is programmed using VIA!
®
TOOLS
setup software, which incorporates pre-
written and pre-tested RS-232 serial drivers
that enable the programmer to assign serial
commands to any button on a VIA! Touch
Panel with the click of a mouse.
ELAN’s VIA! Integration Partner (VIP) program
includes some of the industry’s leading
manufacturers of lighting, security, temper-
ature control, audio and video systems.

SR1 Sense/ Relay/IR Controller
provides enhanced automation and power
management capabilities to home theater
and whole-house systems.
This IR- or RS-232-controlled device features
six independently configurable relay outputs
that can be used to automate motorized
screens, lifts and draperies. Eight sense
inputs, triggerable by contact closure, and
eight steerable IR output ports provide a
means for intelligent power management
for home theater or whole-house A/V
components. Programmable “If-Then”
commands, based on the status of each
of the eight sense inputs, assure that the
movie screen won’t go UP if it’s already
DOWN, or that the TV won’t turn OFF if
it’s already ON.
The SR1 can be used to enhance the capa-
bilities of ELAN S, Z• or HD Series systems,
or added to any stand-alone (non-ELAN)
system; it’s the perfect compliment for a
VIA! Touch Panel in a home theater.
ELAN’s new line of sensors –ELAN
™
SENSE–
now makes the SR1 more powerful than
ever! Use them to trigger SR1 Sense Inputs
whenever audio, video, voltage, current,
contact closures or light are detected.
