DISCLAIMER:

The ELAN C2 Communications Controller is an advanced design capable of interfacing with most telecommunication devices and central office switches. It has been thoroughly tested and should work satisfactorily with most telephone equipment. However, ELAN in no way represents, guarantees, or claims that the ELAN C2 Communications Controller will achieve 100% functionality with every manufacturer’s telephone equipment or with every central office feature.

ELAN Home Systems strongly recommends the use of a quality in-line Telephone Surge Suppressor such as the Z•POWER Power Controller or TH31SRG surge Protection Hub. This device should be installed between the incoming telephone service line and the C2’s TELCO IN jack. If your installer has not installed such a device, please insist that they do so. For additional protection on large wiring networks, surge suppression can also be added in series

with the C2’s PHONE OUT jack, protecting your house network and C2 from surge in both directions.Although the installation of telephone line surge suppression is an important precautionary measure to take in protecting your

C2 from surge-related damage, it does not completely eliminate the possibility of surges entering into the system through the telco line due to near or direct lightning strikes. ELAN Home Systems does not warranty this, or any product against surge-related damage; nor does this warning imply that, if surge protection is installed and the unit is subsequently damaged by surge, ELAN Home Systems would repair or replace the unit under warranty. Please consult the warranty policy of the surge protection device you are installing for information on product repair/ replacement in the event of surge-related damage.

Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction

With the C2 Communication Controller, your multi-room audio system will be transformed into a whole-house communications network. This stand-alone component integrates intercom, telephone and home automation features with your existing audio system to seamlessly create an environment of whole house communication and control.

A Better Intercom

With the C2, your audio system becomes a high-fidelity intercom system that is simple to use. Page family members from any phone in your home. Hear clean, clear voice communications via ELAN in-wall or in-ceiling speakers as the music mutes automatically. To answer a page, simply pick up the nearest phone. No unsightly wall units to contend with - just reliable, high-fidelity voice and music. You’ll use it every day and wonder “how did I live without this before?”

A Great Door System

In larger homes, hearing a doorbell and then answering it is no easy task. The C2 is designed to distribute up to ten different door chimes through in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, alerting you to a visitor at any door entrance. With the DSS3, DSF3 or DSC3 Door Station packages (optional), two-way communications and door latch control to any eight dwelling entrances is a “touch-tone” away. Simply pick up the phone to query a visitor or unlock a door.

Step-Saving Convenience

Park an incoming call while you take it on another phone. When you page, callers are automatically put on hold and entertained with the C2’s “Music-On-Hold” feature. If you take a call in a room where music from the in-wall speakers is too loud––simply mute the speaker audio from your phone. The C2 will alert you with tones through the audio system if you inadvertently leave a caller on hold too long or if the phone receiver is left off hook.

Intuitive Operation

Phone feature commands are simple and intuitive. Press the pound sign (#), followed by simple, easy to remember feature keys like “P” (7) for Page, “H” (4) for placing a caller on Hold, “D” (3) for talking through the Doorspeaker or “M” (6) for Muting the audio system music for that call.

Automation In Mind

With its relay control circuitry, the C2 can also provide control of home automation amenities such as lighting, drapes, outside gates, even security systems. Home automation commands, such as the opening of drapes and turning lights on or off are easily executed via the telephone keypad. Nothing could be more simple or more elegant.

Bulletproof Design

Enhanced ESD protection, transient voltage surge protection, and phone-line conditioning circuitry guarantee years of enjoyment from your C2. A high-output door speaker amplifier and sensitive door microphone ensure superior two-way door communications.

The C2 and Your Phone Line

Where Do You Install It?

The C2 Controller installs on your phone line before all the telephones. This installation assures that you will be able to utilize the C2’s telephone and intercom features from any phone in your home. The C2 is typically installed close to the home’s whole-house audio system or stereo system components. The C2 provides communications features for up to two separate phone lines from your local telephone provider. The best thing about the C2 Communications Controller is that it does not require special or proprietary phones. Any touch-tone phone, including cordless, are all that is required for convenient, easy to use intercom and call features!

Features

Paging

The C2’s “Page” feature makes communicating to all rooms in your home as easy as picking up a phone. The C2’s page audio is heard through the same speakers that provide music throughout your home.

Phone-to-Phone Intercom

After paging a family member, a room-to-room phone conversation can be conducted without being heard over the in-wall speakers when the second user picks up a handset on the same line.

Music-On-Hold

Callers who are placed on hold enjoy music via the C2’s “Music-On-Hold” feature (dedicated Music-On-Hold source required).

Door Station Communication & Chimes

The C2 provides two-way communication and door chimes for up to eight dwelling entrances. With the addition of an ELAN DSC3, DSS3 or DSF3 Doorstation Assembly, you can conduct two-way conversations with any door station via your telephone. When someone presses the ELAN doorbell button, a chime will sound over the speakers in every room. There are ten selectable door chimes to choose from, so you can immediately identify which entrance has a visitor.

Selectable Door Chimes

The C2 features 10 user-selectable door chimes that let you differentiate between door stations. Unique chimes, such as sleigh bells, a fog horn and even a barking dog make for fun door announcements that can easily be changed for the occasion. Here are the available door chimes:

• 01 - 8-Note Bells (Door Station 1 default)

• 02 - 4-Note Bells (Door Station 2 default)

• 03 - 3-Note Bells (Door Station 3 default)

• 04 - 2-Note Bells (Door Station 4 default)

• 05 - “Ding-Dong”

• 06 - Fog Horn

• 07 - Mean Dog Barking

• 08 - Sleigh Bells

• 09 - Ping

• 10 - Sonar Blip

INSTALLATION MANUAL

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S

C2

Home Automation

From your telephone, you can activate up to four relays that can be configured to trigger home automation controls such as lighting, draperies, security systems or garage door openers.

Telemute

The C2’s “Telemute” feature automatically mutes the music throughout your home whenever a page or door chime is activated or whenever the phone rings. The music will come back on once the page or door chime has ended or when you pick up the phone to answer the call.

Music Mute

The C2 mutes the music when you press #, M. The tunes come back when you hang up.

On Hold Alert

When you place a caller on hold, one minute after the phone is placed “on-hook” the C2 will transmit a single beep over the speakers at 5 second intervals, alerting you that the caller is still on hold.

Off Hook Alert

If any phone is left off hook, after two minutes the C2 will transmit a double beep over all the peakers at 5 second intervals alerting you that the phone is off the hook.

System Bypass

This feature allows you to override all C2 phone features and enjoy call services provided by your local phone company, bank or credit card company, etc.

When you want to call someone, simply pick up the phone and start dialing! It’s that simple.

It is not necessary to dial #, 9 before dialing out. There are, however, certain instances where this feature will come in handy:

• When dialing out to an automated service that requires the use of “#” to access services and enter information (i.e., banking by phone or credit card company).

A Quick Explanation

All telephone feature commands are initiated from the keypad of your touch tone phone. They are simple to use and easy to remember! All telephone feature commands begin with the # (pound) symbol (factory preset).

NOTE: You have the option of choosing the * (star) symbol as the beginning command key. This is selectable via DIP switch number 1 on the front of the C2. You may wish to select the star (*) command key if the pound symbol is not compatible with your telephone/home office equipment or security system that you are currently using in the home.

The second key press in each command coincides with the first letter of that feature––for instance to place a caller on Hold, press #, then 4 (the H key on your telephone keypad).

The C2 feature key press sequences can also be programmed to your telephone’s Speed Dial buttons, For example: #,P can be programmed to Speed Dial Number 1 for Paging throughout the home; #,D,1 and #,D,2 can be programmed to Speed Dial Numbers 2 & 3 for instant doorspeaker communication; #1,1 (activate relay #1) can be programmed to Speed Dial Number 4 to turn the lights on throughout the house at the press of a single digit (X-10 lighting control module or similar device required).

Fax Machines, Modems, and Caller ID Boxes

Generally, these types of telephone equipment work well with the C2 Communcation Controller.

Paging

• Pick up any phone and press #, 7 (P) or #, 7 + (Group). Your page will be heard through all the speakers in the house. If there was music playing when you initiated the page, the music will mute for the duration of the page and come back on when you hang up the phone.

• Following a #,7 command with a numeric 0 will re-engage the audio over the speakers, and connect your phone to the other phones on your line. The 0 can be initiated either by the person performing the page or by a person picking up another extension.

E L A N H O M E S Y S T E M S

C2

Incoming Calls While Paging

• While in page mode, if there is an incoming call you will hear a ring over the handset every fourth ring. To access the caller, press the flash-hook button.

• While on a phone-to-phone intercom (#,7,0), if there is an incoming call, you will hear the phone ring over the handset every fourth ring. To access the caller press any digit except “0” or the flash-hook button.

Paging With A Caller On Line

• Pressing #, 7 (P) puts the caller on hold while you page. Pressing the flash-hook button will bring the caller back on line. If you hang up the phone after paging, the person you paged need just pick up any phone in the house and the caller will be there.

• If you followed a #,7 command with a numeric 0 to initiate a phone-to-phone intercom, press any digit, or the flash-hook button to get the caller back.

Incoming Calls While Using the Door Station Assembly

• Press #,3 (D) to initiate two-way communications to your ELAN Door Stations.

• If, while communicating via a door station, there is an incoming call, you will hear an alert over the handset every fourth ring. To access the caller, press the flash-hook button. To re-access the door station you must press the #,3 (D) keys again.

Trigger Input Design Application

The C2’s Trigger Inputs are designed to accept a dry contact closure across the “+ “ and “-” terminals. An added benefit is that the Trigger Inputs provide 12VDC on the “+” terminal and ground on the “-” terminal (see Figure 2-5). This provides the ability to illuminate lighted doorbell buttons.

NOTE: Trigger inputs 1 and 2 will always trigger the Door Chime assigned to Door Station 1 and Door Station 2 alerts respectively. In order to differentiate between Door Stations 1 and 2 alerts and Triggers 1 and 2, set the I.D. DIP Switches on the door stations DS 1 and DS 2 to DS 3 and DS 4. This will allow different alerts for the two door stations and the two trigger inputs

C2 to Door Station Connections

The C2 is designed to work with ELAN DSC3, DSF3, and DSS3 Door Stations to provide doorbell push button and door station communications functionality. Use Cat-5 for these connections. Note that only two wires are used to connect between the C2 and the door station. The remaining wires of the Cat-5 are used for the DSC3’s camera functions (the camera does not interact with the C2).

CAUTION: ALWAYS remove power to the C2 along with any other electronics equipment prior to making any connections to or from the C2. Set the Power Switch on the back of the C2 to the OFF position prior to making connections.

NOTE: If using a VBRM Video Balun, Cat-5 network cable is recommended to be used. IF a video balun is not used ELAN recommends 18 AWG wire. For DSC3 runs over 500 feet you must double wire the power inputs.

Figure 3-12: Connecting Telephone Service to the TH31SRG Telephone Master Hub

The ELAN C2 is compatible with most touch-tone telephones and multi-line telephone systems. Certain telephones that use the both # or * buttons for other functions may not be compatible.

The ELAN C2 has a Ringer Equivalency Number (REN) of 0.7A. The maximum number of telephones that may be connected in a home is dependent on the Ringer Equivalency Voltage being provided to the home by the phone company and the Ringer Equivalency Number of each telephone in the home. When added together, the REN of all the house phones plus the C2 should not exceed 5 per telephone line.

Exceeding the Ringer Equivalency Voltage provided by the telephone company may result in intermittent or no ring-in or a call from your local carrier. Ring boosters are available from your phone company for a nominal fee. ELAN strongly recommends the use of telephone line surge protection between the incoming phone line and the C2 Phone Input.

C2

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, is a batch of technologies that provide a digital connection (typically an Internet connection) over the copper wires of the local telephone network. DSL provides high speed Internet access to home consumers in Europe and North America.

Telephone services were initially designed to carry “Plain Old Telephone Service” (POTS) or Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) calls. DSL allows ordinary phone lines to provide a way to carry data and voice services simultaneously.

DSL Filters

Installers will need to install a passive electronic filter (known variously as a “filter”, “microfilter” or a “splitter”) up stream of the C2 if using the POTS service on the same line. This ensures that the DSL modem and the telephone only receive the frequencies they are designed to handle. The end user will need a splitter. The splitter is first thing connected to an incoming phone line. Then, one side of the splitter goes to the DSL modem. The other side goes through the filter to the C2 TELCO input.

Introduction

ELAN’s new DS3 Series Door Station and the C2 Communications Controller provide you with full two-way communications and door latch control from your touch-tone telephones. A simple #-D (for Door) from any touch-tone phone allows you to speak with visitors at the door. Another simple button press (“0”) activates the door latch to let them in (if you are so inclined). The door latch must be installed and is not included. The DSC3, with its on-board color camera, gives you the option of seeing who is there before you even pick up the phone.

Door Stations Models

ELAN’s two-wire door station models include the DSS3 Surface Mount Door Station, the DSF3 Flush Mount Door Station, and DSC3 Flush Mount Door Station with Color Camera. Designed to be installed in a variety of locations, each door station allows custom installation in areas such as the front door, back door, guest house, or gates. Each model allows independent conversation with visitors at up to eight locations. With the Door Latch Activation feature, you can remotely unlock a door or gate and let the visitor enter, if desired (a third-party door latch must be installed and is not included with ELAN Door Stations.

NOTE: The new DS3 Series Door Stations are only compatible with ELAN’s C2 Communications Controller and will not work with the discontinued Z•600 Communications Controller or HDC1050/HDC2050 Telephone Interface Cards used with ELAN HD systems.

PreWiring & Installing The Door Stations

The DSF3 and DSS3 Door Stations require two conductors to achieve full functionality. The DSC3 requires six conductors in order to utilize the camera functionality eight for long runs (over 500 feet). Cat-5 network cable is recommended in each instance. Route Cat-5 from the head-end location to each Door Station location, avoiding sharp angles.

To physically mount DSF3 and DSC3 Door Stations, use an ELAN DBK1000 Rough-In Bracket during construction. The DSS3 Door Station is designed to be surface mounted and utilizes four wall anchors and screw.

For best aesthetics and audio quality, (and viewing angle when positioning the DSC3), mount the unit approximately 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet from the ground. It is strongly recommended that you test the view from the camera before finalizing installation!

In the rare instance that an ELAN VBRM Video Balun is not used, the installer can still connect the DSC3 Door Station and camera, using Cat-5 for the door station, RG59/RG6 for the camera and 18/2 AWG stranded wire for power. ELAN recommends using Cat-5 wire for the DS+ and DS- connections from the door station to the C2 Door Station Bus.

To connect the camera, perform the following:

1) Unplug the power connector and RCA video connector from the video balun on the DSC3 circuit board.

2) Remove the camera power connector, then strip back the insulation on the red and black camera power wires and connect the corresponding red and black conductors of the 18/2 AWG wire as shown in Figure B-4.

NOTE: DO NOT remove the DSC3’s yellow (video) RCA jack connector!

3) Remove the connector from the PWR3 Power Supply (see Figure B-5).

4) Tie the red wire of the 18/2 AWG to the black/white wire of the PWR3. Tie the black wire of the 18/2 AWG to the black wire of PWR3 Power Supply (see Figure B-4).

5) Splice camera power to PWR3 using 18/2 wire.

6) Connect “F-to-RCA” barrel connector (included) between the RG-6 or RG-59 coax cable and the DSC3 RCA composite video connector (yellow).

2) Make sure the camera wire is located in the upper right corner of the camera module when the DSC3 is viewed from the rear.

3) Adjust the viewing angle by carefully twisting the camera bracket.

4) Once the camera has been repositioned, tighten the bracket screw to secure the camera at the desired position.

Cat-5 network cable must be used to connect ELAN Door Stations as shown in Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9. Connecting the DSC3 includes a video balun on the head end to provide power to the camera module for cable lengths over 125 feet and up to 1000 feet. If Cat-5 network cable is not applicable for your specific installation you can still wire your door stations. ELAN suggests using RG59 for video and 18/2 for all other connects. In this case, the video balun should not be used.

NOTE: ELAN recommends using the provided doorbell only. A non ELAN doorbell has not been tested and is not covered under ELAN’s Door Station Warranty
