Introduction

The PVSE Precision Panel makes it easy to connect up to six ELAN
Electronic Volume Controls (VSE, VSE100, and VEHP) to ELAN S
Series and Z•Series equipment, and is also the perfect trim-out
solution for Electronic Volume Controls in any stand-alone system.

The PVSE is one of ELAN’s 1/2 frame Precision Panels and is
designed to be mounted in a PF2 Precision Panel Frame (see
page 4). Two 1/2 frame Precision Panels can be mounted in one
standard-size Precision Panel Frame, giving the flexibility to mix and
match the Precision Panels needed to complete a neat, problem-free
trim-out.

The back of the PVSE features six clearly labeled 110 punchdown
blocks that provide independent connections for Override, IR, and
Sense; plus two additional connectors for easy routing of Electronic
Volume Control IR signals to the System12 Precision Panel (PS12).
Two RJ-45 jacks on the rear of the panel make it easy to route
Override signals from the PZ600 Communications Controller
Precision Panel and link multiple PVSE panels together. There is
also a bank of six dipswitches that allow you to turn the front panel
volume control-specific IR Out ports into ‘ALL’ ports. In stand-alone
applications, this allows all six Electronic Volume Controls to control
any or all sources.

The PVSE’s front panel was designed with stand-alone applications
in mind. Six Trigger Inputs, plus a Trigger ‘ALL’ port, allow you to
mute any or all Electronic Volume Controls whenever voltage is
not present. Six IR Inputs, plus an ‘ALL’ port, allow a VIA!

®

SR1 or
VIA!®2-SS1 to independently control Electronic Volume Controls
connected to the panel. Six IR Out ports, plus an ‘ALL’ IR Out port,
allow each or all VSEs to control source components in a stand­alone system.

Electronic Volume Controls that are connected to the PVSE are
powered by the included PWR12 +12VDC/2A power supply.

Installation

PF2 Precision Panel Frame

The PF2 accommodates any two 1/2 frame Precision Panels.
The kit includes a full-size Precision Panel frame, an insert with pre­drilled holes for the mounting of two 1/2 frame Precision Panels,
mounting screws, and a blank 1/2 frame plate to cover an unused
half of the frame. PBKT6P new-construction brackets are available,
or the PF2 can easily be retro-fitted using the four clamping legs
attached to the frame, which clamp the panel securely to drywall.
Note: The PF2 is required for the installation of all 1/2 frame
Precision Panels.

Installation (continued)

Trim-Out

All system wire runs are pulled through the PF2 frame. Lay the PVSE
front panel (attached to the PF2) on the floor in front of the frame
and make all connections. Dress the wires in neat bundles, being
careful not to pull off any punchdown connections, and then carefully
place the PVSE/PF2 back into the frame and secure using the four
screws.

Rear Panel Connections

RJ-45 Pin Out

ELAN recommends using ELAN C4545 and/or C45P RJ-45 intercon­nect cables for all Cat-5 connections to the PVSE. Should you prefer
to terminate your own RJ45 cables, refer to the diagram below for
the correct pin-out.

PVSE Punch-Down Connectors

The back of the PVSE uses standard 110 punchdown connectors for
all wire runs. Wires do not need to be stripped prior to punchdown
as the insulation will automatically be displaced. Each punchdown
row will accept two 24 or 22 AWG solid conductor wires. Use the
included 110 punchdown tool to properly make connections and
avoid damaging the PVSE.

NOTE:

The PVSE comes with punch­down caps to ensure that
connections won’t come loose.
