AUTOMATION
AUDSENSOR
AUDIO SENSOR
Detects line-level audio.
Female-to-male RCA 
adaptor connects 
in-line between either 
the left or right line-level
audio output of any source
and an A/V controller 
or receiver. Features 
adjustable sensitivity 
and delay.

SENSE AUTOMATION SENSORS
Introducing six new ways to add reliable power management
and automation features to any system!
ELAN
™
SENSE automation sensors detect audio and video signals,
as well as transitions in voltage, current, contact closures and
light, allowing you to add advanced functionality to ELAN S, 
Z• and HD systems. When combined with the ELAN SR1
Sense/Relay/IR Controller, ELAN sensors become extremely 
powerful automation tools, providing “If/ Then” logic capabilities
for power management and triggered events. Adjustable 
sensitivity and delay on most models make it easy to fine tune
sensor activation for specific applications.
VTSENSOR
VOLTAGE SENSOR
Detects AC or DC voltage from 
9-24 Volts. A two-terminal 
barrier-strip is used to 
connect voltage + and – 
conductors. Perfect for 
use with the SR1, S Series 
multi-room controllers, 
D Series amplifiers and 
HD sense input applications.
DBSENSOR
DOORBELL SENSOR
Detects the voltage drop 
that occurs when a 
doorbell is activated. 
A two-terminal barrier 
strip is used to connect + and -
doorbell connections. Ideal 
for SR1, S6, S12 and HD sense
input application.
VIDSENSOR
VIDEO SENSOR
Detects composite video 
signals. Female-to-male 
RCA adaptor connects 
in-line between the 
composite video output 
of any source and an 
A/V controller or receiver.
Features adjustable 
sensitivity and delay.
LTSENSOR
LIGHT/LED 
SENSOR
Detects daylight, 
room light, LEDs and 
even the displays of many A/V
components. Red and Green
filters (included) allow for 
the detection of bi-color 
LEDs found on many 
components. Features
adjustable sensitivity 
and delay.
CTSENSOR
CONTACT CLOSURE
SENSOR
Detects dry contact relay 
closures. A two-terminal 
barrier-strip is used to 
connect + and – 
conductors from relay 
devices. Ideal for SR1, 
S6, S12 and HD sense 
input applications.
CRSENSOR
CURRENT/ MAGNETIC
FIELD SENSOR
Detects AC current in 
power cords, as well as 
the AC magnetic fields 
generated by motors, 
transformers, TV’s, etc. 
The CRSENSOR has a unique 
clamping device that 
accommodates a wide 
variety of different 
sized AC power cords. 
The base of the clamping 
device is removable when magnetic 
field detection is desired. Features
adjustable sensitivity and delay.
