Z-Wave Operating Frequency
Australia/New Zealand: 921:42/921.40/919.80MHz
US/Canada: 908.42.908.40/916MHz

Z-Wave Developer’s Kit: 7.13.1
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave™ network with other Z-Wave certied devices from other
manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters of vendor to increase
reliability of the network.
In an Elan SC Series System Controller, the host application controls the device reset feature.
If this controller is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in the nodes in your
network being orphaned and it will be necessary after the reset to exclude or re-include all of the
nodes in the network. If this controller is being used as a secondary controller in the network, use this
procedure to reset the controller only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or
otherwise inoperable.

3. Mounting
The EL-SC-300 System Controller is designed to mount on a shelf or hang in a cabinet or rack.
Shelf Mounting
The EL-SC-300 has feet to protect nished surfaces. Set the controller in a location that will allow you
to properly manage connected wiring so that tension is not placed on the connections. Wire tension will
cause the unit to move and may cause wires to become disconnected.
Dimensions with feet: 17” W x 2.25” H x 14” D (431.8mm W x 57.2mm H x 355.6mm D)
Rack Mounting
The Rack Mount Brackets included with the EL-SC-300 attach to the chassis using the included screws.
Do not use longer screws to attach the brackets as this may permanently damage the unit.
Remove the feet from the EL-SC-300 before rack mounting the unit. When mounting in very warm
locations (i.e. enclosed rack or cabinet) leave a rack space above and/or below the unit for ventilation.
Dimensions without feet, with rack mount brackets: 19” W x 1.75” H x 14” D (482.6mm W x 44.45mm H x
355.6mm D)
4. RS-232 Serial Connections
Connect up to eight RS-232 serial controlled devices using an included DB9 to RJ45 adapter to the RS-232
port on the rear of the controller.
For null modem connections, the ports can be congured in ELAN Congurator.
Wiring pin-out for the RJ45 connector.
5. RS-485 Serial Connections
The two RS-485 ports allow connection to Full Duplex (Aprilaire thermostats, for example) and Half Duplex
(Pentair Pool and Spa controllers, for example) RS-485 controlled devices without using adapters. The
table below shows the T-568A and T-568B color codes and the function of each conductor of the RS-485
ports. Please refer to the Integration Notes for the device you are integrating for wiring and programming
specics.
CAUTION: Do not connect cables with PoE power on them to the RS-232 or RS-485 ports as it will damage
the unit.

RS-232 Connections
The table shows the 568A and 568B color codes and the function of each conductor of the RS-232 ports.
Please refer to the ELAN Integration Note for the specic device to determine the proper RJ45 to DB9
adapter to use.
CAUTION: Do not connect cables with PoE power on them to the RS-232 or RS-485 ports as it will
damage the unit.
8 Brown Brown N/C
6. IR Output Connections
Twelve discrete IR outputs are supplied to control third party devices. Each output is compatible with
Xantech single and dual emitters. IR outputs are 12V.
7. Signal Input Connections
Four signal input ports provide a way to trigger events based on a contact closure or voltage input. Detects
5V to 24V DC / 24VAC Max. For example, use a contact closure on driveway sensors to trigger lights or
push messages. Or use the voltage detector to sense when a standard doorbell chime is rung to trigger an
ELAN doorbell chime through an audio system.
NOTE: DO NOT WIRE DIRECTLY TO THE DOORBELL BUTTON, THIS WILL DAMAGE THE EL-SC-300.
For detailed wiring instructions, please refer to the Integration Note.
Contact Closure*
*Please verify your device can accept 12V input for contact closure, as this could cause damage
the device if not rated for 12V.

8. Relay Connections
Six normally open relays are available for controlling third party devices - motorized lifts, window shades,
and projection screens. The included removable connectors will accept up to 16ga bare copper leads.
Be careful to verify that no portion of one wire touches the other wire. Prior to connection verify that the
connected load does not exceed 24volts AC/DC or 1amp. If either parameter is exceeded, add a higher
capacity relay to control the load and use the EL-SC-300 output to control that relay.
NOTE: The relays only control turning the external load on / off and do not supply any power.
For detailed wiring instructions, please refer to the Integration Note and documentation for the connected
device.
9. LAN / PoE Connection
The EL-SC-300 can be powered over Ethernet (PoE). The minimum PoE requirement is IEEE 802.3at. 42.5
- 57 VDC, 600 mA maximum.
NOTE: The EL-SC-300 can be connected via WiFi, however a wired connection is preferred.
10. Reset Button
Located on the right rear of the controller is the recessed pinhole button that can be used in three ways:
1. 2 second press and release resets the controller to DHCP
2. 20 second press and release removes all configuration information. Software version will be
maintained.
3. While applying power, a 10 second press and release will perform a full factory reset. Software
will revert to factory default version. DO NOT remove power during a factory reset as it will
permanently damage the unit. Allow the unit to reboot and become discoverable (about 4
minutes). Note: the LED will remain red during the reset process.
WARNING! THESE ACTIONS CANNOT BE UNDONE!
11. Power
Once all other connections have been completed, connect an Ethernet cable connected to a PoE switch or
the 12 VDC, 2.5A power supply to the DC input.
12. LED Status Indicator
The LED communicates the status of the controller:
Blue
Power on / connected to network
Blue ashing slowly
Boot up
Blue ashing rapidly
Controller updating
Amber
Power on / not connected to network
Red
Boot failure
Red ashing
Self check failure
13. Network Connection
The E L- SC - 3 0 0 is factory set to use DHCP. First, connect to a wired network. Once connected, use
Congurator to set a static IP address or connect via WiFi.
