Wiring Multiple EL25 Units to Telco Line Up to 7 EL25s can share the same phone line. The bypass boards allow the EL25 units to be disconnected without interrupting normal telephone operation. • When the EL25 units are in use, the bypass switches must be set to the operate position.

Ring Tip C Wiring a Key Switch/PIR/REX Any auxiliary opening device such as a key switch or PIR (Passive Infrared Device), or an exit request button (REX) that provides contact closure can be hooked up to the Door Input terminals.
The EL25 can monitor the position of up to four doors/gates and may react to a change in their status with one of the relays (not set as a control relay). For example, if a door is pried open or is held open after its relay deactivates, the unit will record the breach in its transactions and can perform the following actions: • Call the main residence phone and report the status of the door. • Energize a relay to activate an alarm device such as a siren, light, or CCTV camera.
An optional radio frequency module and a remote antenna can be installed if the residents will access a controlled area with a transmitter. Refer to instructions supplied with the optional RF Module for more information. Avoid any metallic surface around the antenna. RG-6 Coaxial Connector 1 RF Module Kit Part # RFMODKT Main J407 J400 Circuit Device 3 Device 1 Board Remote Antenna RF Module(s) will fit in J400 as Device 1 and/or J407 as Device 3.
The Post Office requires installation of a postal lock if postal carriers do not have access to a controlled area. Contact the local post office and arrange for them to install the postal lock while you are on site. The postal lock requires a switch to activate one of the four relays (Configurable with programming number 669, 69 page 58 in the Keypad Programming Manual).
Grounding the EL25 Ensure that the system is grounded properly. The EL25 contains a number of static sensitive components that can be damaged by static discharge. Recommended and should be no further than 12 ft from the unit and use a minimum of 12 gauge wire in most cases. The type and length of earth ground rods vary by region. Contact the building inspector’s office in the municipality where you plan to install the unit for correct grounding materials and installation procedures.
Wiring Power to the EL25 The 110 VAC outlet must be dedicated to the EL25 ONLY . This outlet should be wired back to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit breaker. This will prevent two problems: 1 Other equipment cannot introduce spikes, noise, surges, or dips into the power circuit. On Off Off Air (1) Conditioner Main Room Off Conference Room 1 On EL25 MUST be Properly Grounded! See Page 16. Conference Rm 2, 3 Off 12 VAC (Included) On Refer.

Unit will return to programmed volume setting when call is complete.
Troubleshooting Common Mistakes No power to EL25 • Check power at source. Power must come from a dedicated 110VAC outlet. • The transformer's outlet should be wired to its own circuit breaker. • Check “SYS PWR” LED indicators. If “LO” or “HI” are lit, press “PWR MON RST” button. If either of those two LEDs are still lit, check transformer and outlet. Door Strikes/Maglocks/Gate Operator not working • Check power source. Strikes, Maglocks and Gate Operator must be powered independent from unit.

FCC Requirements The EL25 system complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The label affixed to this equipment contains, among other information, the FCC Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called.
