OVERVIEW OF TELCO WIRING

Many phone companies have updated their color standards due to the use of Cat 5 cable for most phone line installs, and keep residential and business installs in line with each other. In the new standard, there is no green, red, black or yellow wires, they have been replaced by white/blue, blue/white, white/orange, and orange/white. If the wire is primarily orange with white stripes then that color is orange/white. Refer to the table below. The NID labels will most likely have the old coloring scheme on them, and most telephone wiring components you can purchase will still reflect the original colors.
Accessories: Optional method to mount. LiftMaster Gooseneck Pedestal Post Models PED42 or PED64
• Wire connectors can be removed to simplify wiring.
• DO NOT overload wire connectors. Use ONLY one wire per hole.
Function Old Color Standard New Color Standard
Tip 1 Green White/Blue Ring 1 Red Blue/White Tip 2 Black White/Orange Ring 2 Yellow Orange/White
NOTES:
• The voltmeter measurement between the Tip and Ring should be between 48 and 53 Vdc.
• Never run data wires and high voltage wires in the same conduit. The high voltage wires may interfere with the data wires and cause the system to malfunction.
• Reversed polarity will not damage the unit, however, some telephones will not function properly.

TYPICAL TELCO OVERVIEW WITH THE UNIT

CONNECTING THE BYPASS BOARD
The bypass board allows the EL1SS unit to be disconnected without interrupting normal telephone operation. If the unit is used in conjunction with an alarm system, you must connect the telephone line to the alarm system fi rst or the unit will not operate properly.
NOTES:
• When a unit is in use, the bypass switch must be set to operate.
• When a unit is disconnected, the bypass switch must be set to bypass.
• If the unit will be connected with an alarm system, you must connect the telephone line to the alarm system first in the series from the Telco box. If the units are not connected in this order, they will not operate properly.
Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. The unit MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The unit should be on
a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
• A static discharge can damage circuit boards
• NEVER run telco wires and high voltage wires in the same conduit. The high voltage may interfere with the telco wires, possibly causing the system to malfunction.

Phone lines with DSL service. In order for the EL1SS to function normally a DSL filter is required to separate the DSL (digital) signal from the telephone service (POTS).
1. Install the splitter between the demarcation box and the EL1SS.
2. Route the DSL/Phone wires from the demarcation box to the splitter’s input terminal.
3. Run a copper, twisted pair from the splitter’s phone output to the EL1SS.
4. Run the data wires from the splitter to the resident’s computer network.
5. Run the residence phone wires from the EL1SS to the residence phone(s).

EARTH GROUND ROD

To AVOID damaging gas, power or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.
Connect the green ground wire to the grounding rod. Run the wire from unit to suitable earth ground.
NOTE: Shield connections on boards should not be connected to ground wire.
IMPORTANT: An earth ground rod is strongly recommended and should be no further than 12 feet 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 offi ce in the municipality where you plan to install the unit for correct grounding materials and installation procedures.
NOTE: Keep ground wire as
straight as possible.
Check national and local codes for proper depth

POWER WIRING

The 110 Vac outlet must be dedicated to the unit only. This outlet should be wired back to its own 10 Amp minimum circuit breaker. This will prevent two problems:
• Other equipment cannot introduce spikes, noise, surges, or dips into the power circuit.
• The system’s operation will not be affected if any other equipment develops a short circuit across the power line.
Connect the transformer into a 110 Vac outlet after all connections have been made, any other type of outlet will cause damage to the system.

PLUG THE TRANSFORMER INTO THE OUTLET

Plug the transformer into the 110 Vac outlet.
NOTE: Once power is applied, the EL1SS will begin to click to indicate that it is powered, and is waiting to be programmed for the unit’s Master Code. The Master Code is used to unlock the programming functions of the EL1SS. The Master Code should not be distributed as a User Code.

TEST GATE/DOOR RELAYS

TEST RELAY 1
Enter 4 digit Master Code + 1 (Key). The “1” Key indicates
the Relay to be triggered.
+
NOTE: Relay 1 status indicator LED will illuminate (Blue) to show activity when triggered.
TEST RELAY 2
Enter 4 digit Master Code + 2 (Key). The “2” Key indicates
the Relay to be triggered.
+
NOTE: Relay 2 status indicator LED will illuminate (Blue) to show activity when triggered.

TEST THE TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS

1. Place a telephone call from the resident’s telephone to verify it is operating properly, then hang up the phone.
NOTE: To ensure proper function of the audio and
authorization tones, keep the telephone handset at least 10 feet from the EL1SS during testing.
2. Press the “Call” key on the unit’s keypad. The telephone in the residence should ring.
NOTE:
After the “Call” Button is pressed, the “Status” LED on the
processor board will blink during transmission.
3. To test Relay 1 have someone answer the telephone and enter “*9” (Star + 9). The EL1SS will disconnect the call as soon as the relay is activated. To test Relay 2 have someone answer the telephone and enter “*5” (Star + 5). The EL1SS will disconnect the call as soon as the relay is activated.
