S128P

Chapter 1: Introduction

The S128P is the culmination of fourteen years of ELAN experience in the design and perfection of multi-source/ multi-zone controllers. Incorporating the features and reliability that has made ELAN the fastest-growing manufacturer of multi-room A/V products, the S128P is ELAN's most powerful and flexible multi-source/multi-zone controller to date. The S128P is a twelve-source eight-zone preamp controller with on-board video switching. Up to four S128Ps can be linked for a total of thirty-two zones. The S128P can be controlled by IR or Serial commands, and works with ELAN VIA!® Touch Panels, Olé™ Film Interactive Touchpads, keypads, and/or IR receivers, as well as interfacing with the VIA!®SR1 Sense/Relay Module, and SS1 System Station.

This unit has been designed with ultimate flexibility in mind. Multiple control methods combine with expandability to offer the perfect solution for larger audio/video and automation control systems. Local source inputs allow devices located in a specific zone to be heard in and controlled from that zone, while advanced trigger options allow flexible automation opportunities.

The S128P can switch Composite video, Component video, or both, simultaneously. High Definition video sources, like HDTV and Progressive Scan DVD players, can now be routed throughout the home as well as traditional Composite video sources like VCRs and CCTV cameras.

The S128P is loaded with all the features a custom installer looks for in a high-end multi-room controller, including audio/video signal sensing and system-status feedback, 12 source-specific IR ports, 2 IR 'All' ports, an External IR Input, 6 Sense inputs, 8 Trigger outputs plus a Unit Trigger output, a Music-On-Hold output, Page/Doorbell audio and Trigger jacks for easy integration with ELAN's C2 Communications Controller, and Serial In/Out ports for RS-232 control of the S128P. The SPP Precision Panel makes all system connections quick, neat and reliable!

Chapter 2. System Design & Applications

System Design

The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad, touch panel, volume control, and equipment locations etc. Make sure that all locations are decided upon before pre-wiring commences so that all necessary wiring and installation hardware is in place. This unit will be interfacing with other components such as amplifiers, source components, communications controllers, serial controllers, and user interfaces, so it is essential that ALL system components are accounted for prior to the pre-wire stage.

Secondly, make a detailed list of all components. Include source equipment, keypads, touch panels, volume controls, amplifiers, communications gear and the S128P itself. Be sure to include necessary electrical boxes, structured wiring enclosures, telephone lines, rough-in brackets, patch cords, power supplies, etc.

Pre-Wire

This section will explain the specifics of pre-wiring for an S128P system. Care should be taken at this stage to ensure a properly operational system. Most system wiring is “home-run” from the device being installed (a keypad, for example) back to the equipment location, or “head-end”. Make sure to plan for the future when pre-wiring! It is often advantageous to pull coax along with Cat-5 to facilitate an upgrade from keypads to VIA! Touch Panels.

• Cat-5 When using an ELAN C2 Communications Controller, run Cat-5 for telephones. Run Cat-5 for Door Stations. See the C2 manual for details. 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).

Serial Devices

• Cat-5 or Serial Cable Run Cat-5 or serial cables between RS-232 controllers and the S128P.

Sense Inputs

•Cat-5 (3 conductors used) Use Cat-5 to extend sensor leads, if necessary.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Applications

This section describes typical applications using the S128P in audio/video/automation installations. These are all basic in nature and should be used for guideline purposes only. Each application can be augmented as needed for individual circumstances.

Zone/Sub-Zone Definitions

A zone is defined as an area within a system that has independent source selection ability. A zone may be one room, or several combined areas. A sub-zone is a part of a zone - it shares source selection - but is not independent. Typically, sub-zones use volume controls for volume up/down.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Stereo Zone w/ Stereo Sub-Zone Fixed Output

Many areas of the home are ideal for zone/sub-zone configuration. Examples include Master Bedroom/ Master Bath or Kitchen/Dining Area. In this application, only two amp channels are used. Connect the Fixed Zone Audio Output to a pair of amp channels. Use two impedance matching volume controls on the amplifier’s speaker outputs to maintain independent volume control capabilities in each room. At least one controlling device (touch pad, touch panel) must be installed to control the zone. Volume up/down will be controlled with the volume control located in each part of the zone. If using ELAN electronic volume controls, system and source control is possible using a hand-held remote control. This application uses the least amount of amplifier channels possible.

Note: Fixed Zone Audio Outputs do not have DRC or EQ capabilities.

Stereo Zone w/ Stereo Sub-Zone Fixed & Variable Output

This application takes full advantage of the S128P’s Fixed and Variable Zone Audio Outputs. The main zone utilizes the Variable outputs. An Olé Touch Pad or VIA! Touch Panel controls source selection, source control, etc. and volume up/down in the main zone.

The sub-zone uses a volume control to ramp volume up/down independently from the main zone, however, it always shares the same source. If using an ELAN electronic volume control in the sub-zone, system and source control is possible using a hand-held remote control. This application uses more amp channels than the previous example, but only uses one volume control in the sub-zone.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Stereo Zone w/Two Stereo Sub-Zones

This application is ideal for large areas where independent volume control is needed. Volume is controlled in a variable zone using touch pads or touch panels. Sources for the entire zone are selected and controlled from this same keypad or touch panel.

Connect the Fixed Zone Audio Outputs to two impedance matching volume controls, then to two pairs of speakers. The volume controls will ramp volume up/down for only the speakers that they are connected to, giving separate volume control in all areas of the zone. If using electronic volume controls, a hand-held IR remote control can be used for source select and control in the sub-zone areas. If using rotary volume controls, all source selection and control must be done from the keypad or touch panel.

This application has cost-saving advantages. Only two pairs of amp channels are needed. If using electronic volume controls, independent volume up/down is available as well as source selection and control. In this application, separate source selection is only available in one area.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Stereo Zone w/Two Mono Sub-Zones

Expanding zones by using mono sub-zones is a great way to save money and amplifier channels. This application uses a total of four amp channels to create three separate areas with independent volume control. As in previous examples, a source can be selected and controlled from the keypad or touch panel in the main zone. Volume up/down in the main zone is controlled the same way. Sub-zone volume is controlled from the individual volume controls in each sub-zone. Sources can be controlled from a hand-held IR remote control if using electronic volume controls in the sub-zone.

Please note that an RCA ‘Y’ cable must be used from the zone’s Fixed Zone Audio Output to an Input 1 L of an ELAN D660. This cable creates a mono signal. Connect the Output 1 L of the same Channel to Input 1 R. Now, the same audio plays out of Speaker Output 1 R and Speaker Output 1 L. A mono volume control is connected to each of these speaker outputs to create two mono sub-zones.

Chapter 3. Connections

System Control

System control connections are comprised of IR Inputs, IR Emitter Outputs, IR/RS485 Expansion ports, RS232 ports, and Triggers. These various control methods can be combined and integrated to create hundreds of possible control schemes for customized functionality.

SPP Precision Panel

The SPP Precision Panel is more than a convenient trim-out solution for the S128P. With more sources, more zones and more built-in features than any other ELAN multi-room controller to date, the number of wire runs and systems connections needed to get everything up and running smoothly makes the SPP a necessity!

The rear panel of the SPP features a neatly laid out array of all the 110 punch-downs necessary to ensure quick, reliable connection of keypads, touch panels, and touchpads in every zone. There are also dedicated punch-down connectors for six ELAN™Sense sensors, Triggers, and EXT IR signals. The clearly labeled overlays shows both the color-code and function of every connection. There are RJ-45 jacks and a switch on the rear of the panel for an easy link to an additional SPP, and SS1 System Station.

Use one or two meter RJ-45-to-RJ-45 interconnect cables for reliable connections. Six Sense Input jacks use stereo

3.5mm interconnect cables to go directly to the Sense Inputs on the S128P. The front panel also features DC power jacks for 1.5A, 4A and 10A VIA! power supplies .

The front panel of the SPP is removable, to facilitate easy access when connecting wires. New-construction brackets are available, or the SPP can easily be retro-fitted using the four clamping legs attached to the frame, which secure the panel securely to drywall. Additional panels are required for systems with two, three or four S128P Controllers (one SPP per chassis).

S128P

VIA! Touch Panel Connections

The S128P is designed to work flawlessly with ELAN VIA! Touch Panels. VIA! Touch Panels require ELAN 16 Volt DC power supplies. Use the PWR10 16V/10A power supply to power up to ten VIA! Touch Panels. Use the PWR4 16V/4A power supply to power up to 4 VIA! Touch Panels. Use the PWR1 16V/1.5A power supply to power a single touch panel.

When using a VIA! Valet 100EM Tabletop/Under-Cabinet Color Touch Panel, a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate must be used. One PVIA Wall Plate is included with each VIA! Valet. The installer has the option of using the included PVIA1 power supply, or one of the other 16V power supplies to provide power to the Valet.

VIA! Touch Panels punch-down to the rear of the SPP at two locations, depending on system configuration. These locations are labelled “ZXA 16V VIA!/OLÉ” and “ZXB 16V/12V VIA!/OLÉ” where “X” corresponds to the zone that the touch panel(s) will control. Two touch panels can connect to each punch-down location for each zone. If using more than 2 touch panels per location, make connections off of the SPP and use jumper wires to punch-down to the correct location. Figure 3-4 shows the correct wiring for one touch panel in Zone 1 connected to the “A” location and utilizing 16VDC power from the PWR1, PWR4, or PWR10 power supply connected to the front of the SPP.

When connecting a PVIA1 Valet Wall Plate to the SPP, use either the included PVIA1 power supply connected to the PVIA1 Wall Plate, or a PWR10, PWR4 or PWR1 power supply connected to the SPP.

DO NOT USE BOTH POWER SUPPLIES!

External Power Connections

Use the V+ and G screw terminal connections at the bottom edge of the SPP Precision Panel to connect 2 conductor wires (14-18AWG) to power VIA! Touch Panels that DO NOT use the Cat-5 power wiring option at the touch panel and DO use the external power connector located on the touch panel. This application is typically used for long wire runs greater than 110 feet in length. It is not necessary to use both the Cat-5 power connection (located on the ZONE punchdown locations) and the External Power connectors described here.

RS-485 Expansion Connections

The RS-485 EXPANSION punchdown connectors channel RS-485 signals (ZNET) generated by the multi-room controller. The RS-485 information sent to these punchdowns is identical to that sent to the ZONE locations (Z#C). The RS-485 EXPANSION locations simply allow additional punchdown positions and typically WILL BE needed when installing touch panels, touchpads, and keypads in an S128P system.

NOTE: The S128P Controller, generates ZNET information for status feedback. Make sure to set the ZNET/VNET switch to the ZNET position in any S128P-based system.

Switches

There are three types of switches located on the rear of the SPP Precision panel: The INT 12V-EXT 16V switches (one per zone), the ZNET/VNET switch and the SS/SC4-NO SS/SC-4 switch. These switches affect the function of the S128P Multi-Room Controller in various ways depending upon system configuration.

INT 12V-EXT 16V Switch

As previously described, the INT 12V-EXT 16V switch selects between internally generated voltage from the S128P Controller (+12 Volts DC) for use with Z•Pad Keypads and Olé Touchpads, or externally generated voltage from a power supply connected to the front of the SPP Precision Panel to be utilized by Olé Touchpads and VIA! Touch Panels. This selection applies only to the “Z#B 16V/12V OLÉ/ZPAD” punchdown location. Select INT 12V (UP) when 12VDC is required for keypads or touchpads. Selects EXT 16V (DOWN) when using an external 16VDC power supply for touch panels or touchpads.

Figure 3-16: Internal/External Voltage Switch

ZNET/VNET Switch

The ZNET-VNET switch selects between systems based on ELAN’s ZNET (S66A and S128P Multi-Room Controllers) and VNET (S86A/P ). This switch will always be in the ZNET position when installing the SPP with the S128P Controller.

Source IR Emitter Output Connections

The S128P features 12 source-specific IR emitter outputs. Each of these outputs is active only when the assigned source is selected. This makes it possible to use identical source components and still have the capability of separate control. For ELAN multi-output sources such as VIA!dj or DTNR, VIA!TOOLS setup software will automatically route IR out of each IR port that the source is assigned to. The example below shows a VIA!dj that is connected to Audio Inputs 1, 2, 3, and 4. Any of IR Emitter Outputs 1 through 4 can be used to control the VIA!dj. To connect nonELAN multi-output sources, see IR ‘ALL’ Output Port Connections below.

Two ‘ALL’ IR outputs are provided for controlling additional components such as TVs or A/V Receivers that may require control regardless of the source currently selected. These ports are chassis-specific and always active: any IR signal sent into S128P Chassis #1 comes out the ‘ALL’ IR outputs of Chassis #1 as shown below. When a nonELAN multi-output source requires control from more than one chassis, an ELAN Dual Plug IR emitter should be used. The ‘ALL’ ports are also useful when controlling several non-identical sources. For really large installations, an ‘ALL’ port can be routed to an IR Distribution Block and sent to several sources.

SS1 System Station to S128P Connections

The SS1 System Station allows many advanced features in an S128P system. Wireless VIA! Touch Panels can communicate with the S128P and other sub-systems through RS-232 or IR. Connectivity between the SS1 and the S128P is done through two cables (included with the SS1); a 15-pin cable for IR and RS-485, and a 9-pin cable for RS-232. Connect these cables as shown below. Please consult the SS1 System Station Installation Manual for important information regarding the use of this product.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

PV12 Video Precision Panel

The PV12 Video Precision Panel provides a clean and easy way to connect up to 12 runs of coaxial cable to the S128P A/V Controller. Twelve gold-plated F-to-RCA barrel connectors are mounted on flanges angled at 45 degrees. The angled flanges ensure that all coax runs slide easily back into the wall after termination, and that the cables are not bent past their specified limits, which can cause damage resulting in signal loss. The PV12 is one of ELAN’s new ‘half-frame’ Precision Panels. Two ‘half-frame’ panels can be mounted in one PF2 Precision Panel Frame, giving you the flexibility to mix and match the Precision Panels needed to complete a neat, problem-free trim-out. Two PV12s can be mounted in one frame to accommodate the16 video outputs of the S128P.

Figure 3-46: PV12 Video Precision Panel

Video Switching

The vast array of built-in video switching features is part of what makes the S128P so powerful! When properly configured, large video routing projects become a simple matter of “Auto-Building” IR or RS-232 commands using VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software. The S128P has a 16 input by 16 output video switcher that can distribute Composite, Component and High Definition video to any zone. The number of video sources, and the number of zones that they can be distributed to, depends on whether you are using single-input/output Composite video signals, or 3-input/output Component video signals. The tables below show the video switcher’s distribution capabilities with different combinations of Composite/Component video sources.

Default Tracking Mode

For many systems, one-to-one audio/composite video switching may be all that is required. Default Tracking Mode is the default audio/video switching mode for the S128P, and requires no additional programming. By default, the first twelve video inputs of the S128P are directly tied to, or 'track' with, the twelve audio inputs. This means that the audio and composite video signals of Sources 1-12 will switch simultaneously when selected from a zone without any additional programming. Additionally, in Default Tracking Mode, Video Inputs 13-16 remain available for additional Composite video sources such as CCTV cameras. These inputs can be programmed for selection in any zone.

In Default Tracking Mode, there are two pre-configured video outputs for each zone. The first output is pre-configured for a VIA! Touch Panel, the second output for a TV/monitor. When a video source is selected in a zone, both of these video outputs will automatically route the selected source video to that zone ( see Video Zone Output Connections for further details).

Source-Select Tracking Mode

Should more than the two default video outputs be needed in a zone, VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software provides an easy way to automatically route up to five composite video outputs, plus one component video output (three jacks), to a zone using a single source-select IR or RS-232 command. This not only facilitates quick programming, but also eliminates the delays inherent when multiple IR commands are chained together to perform multiple input/output select functions. See VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS Help tutorials for step-by-step programming instructions.

16 x 16 Mode

The S128P also performs video matrix switching, meaning that any of its 16 video inputs can be routed to any of its 16 video outputs, singly or in groups. By far the most flexible option for advanced video routing, 16 x 16 mode also requires a great deal more programming. Unlike Tracking mode, where no additional programming is necessary for the simultaneous switching of audio and video, or Source-Select mode, where multiple outputs switch automatically when a source is selected, 16 x 16 mode requires that each video input and output be 'told' what to do through programming. Essentially, a button on a VIA! Touch Panel or a keypad will be programmed with a specific input-select command(s) and output-select command(s). Specific instructions on S128P video programming are provided with VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS Setup Software (revision 5.0 or higher).

System Expansion

An S128P system can be expanded from eight to thirty-two zones by adding additional units:

1 S128P = 8 zones 2 S128Ps = 16 zones 3 S128Ps = 24 zones 4 S128Ps = 32 zones

Sixty-four zones of video only are also available when linking four S128Ps. The number of distributed audio/video sources (twelve/sixteen) does not increase with the addition of multiple chassis. The number of local sources, however, increases by eight with each additional S128P.

Each S128P in the system will have its own UNIT ID, which designates the zones it is controlling:

UNIT 1: Zones 1-8 UNIT 2: Zones 9-16 UNIT 3: Zones 17-24 UNIT4: Zones 25-32

Unit ID dipswitches are found on the S128P's rear panel, and must be properly configured in order for a multi-chassis system to work correctly.

Note: Changes to the Unit ID Dip Switches become active when the S128P is reset to Factory Default. Each chassis must be reset in order for changes to take effect. See pg. 75 for Factory Default procedure.

Audio/Video Connections

The Audio and Video Loop Outputs are used to route source audio and video between each S128P chassis. Each source connected to S128P Unit 1 must be routed to the corresponding source input on S128P Unit 2. This process must be repeated for each chassis. Since both the audio and video loop outputs are buffered, there will be no loss of signal between S128Ps. For video sources that output High- Definition Component signals, such as certain cable/ satellite receivers, HDDVD, and DVHS machines, only use cables that are HD-rated to loop these video signals between chassis. Use of Standard Definition video cables will result in a degradation of video quality.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Chapter 4. Operations

Other than the Unit ID dipswitches that are used to identify each S128P in a multi-chassis system (see pg. 68) and ELAN keypad dipswitch settings (see below), all S128P programming is done with VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software - the same software that is used for programming VIA! Touch Panels and ELAN keypads. VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS is required for S128P programming. VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS software requires Windows XP or Vista operating systems on a PC with one standard RS-232 or USB port, 256 color 800 x 600 display, 16MB RAM (minimum) and approximately 10MB free disk space for associated files.

The S128P can be programmed prior to making all connections (recommended) or after making all connections. If programming prior to making connections, print out the source and zone setup screens from VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS and use them as a guide for making your input and output connections. If programming after making all your connections, it is critical that you document the location of every source input and zone output, as this information will be needed for programming.

The specifics of VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS programming is outside the scope of this manual, but complete stepby-step S128P programming tutorials are included with VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS setup software.

If there is more than one S128P in the system, it will be necessary to connect the ELAN RS-232 ports between chassis using the 9-pin serial cable that is included with the S128P Expansion Kit (see Multi- Chassis Connections, page 55, for details).

Each S128P in the system must be powered up prior to downloading. In multi-chassis systems, make sure the Unit ID dipswitches for each chassis are set correctly (see System Expansion, page 69, for details).

For detailed, step-by-step downloading instructions, see the VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS Help files included with every version of VIA!TOOLS or ELANTOOLS.

ELAN Keypad Dipswitch Settings

ZNET Errors Detected Screen

Press DND again to cycle to the ZNET Errors Detected screen. This will show the ZNET Errors Detected screen, a counter that increments whenever the S128P receives data over the ZNET bus that is not a properly formatted ZNET command with a correct checksum. This usually occurs under one of three conditions:

1) When there are wiring problems on the ZNET bus

2) When electrical interference injects signals on the ZNET bus

3) When a ZNET device like a Z100/150 keypad fails in a way that causes it to emit electrical noise on the ZNET bus.

Under normal circumstances, it is not unusual to see the counter increment a few times in the course of wiring up or connecting controls to an S128P system. After the wiring is complete or control(s) connected, the counter should not be incrementing.

If the counter is incrementing frequently or constantly, there is an issue on the ZNET bus or with a ZNET control and the installer needs to troubleshoot until the issue is identified and resolved.

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Appendix C: RS-232 Serial Control Commands

General Information

The S128P serial interface is a 3-wire RS-232 (Rx, Tx, Ground-Pins 2, 3, and 5 respectively).

S128P Communication Port Settings

Baud Rate 19200 Data Bits 8 Parity None Stop Bits 1 Flow Control None

Command Structure

&S12, cmd, par 1, par 2 <cr>

• Prefix: Must be present for every command string (Required)

• Command: See list below for all commands (Required)

• Parameter 1: Usually Zone 01-32 command

(Optional for some commands, required for others)

• Parameter 2

(Optional for some commands, required for others)

• Carriage Return: 0x0d or Decimal 13 (Required)

&S12,ACK &S12,ACK<cr> is a command that is transmitted by the S128P whenever it receives a command with the correct structure. It does not mean that the command was performed. To ensure that the command was performed correctly, the S128P needs to be queried.

The following are correct serial command structures:

• &S12,SYSOFF

• &S12,PWR,01,1 If &S12,SYSOFF command is transmitted to the S128P, the S128P will respond with &S12,ACK. If &S12,PWR,100,1

is transmitted to the S128P, the S128P will NOT respond with a &S12,ACK because 100 is out of the scope. That field supports Zones 01-32 for this particular command.

If there is only one S128P in the System, Zones 1-8, and &S12,PWR,09,1 is transmitted to the S128P, the S128P will NOT respond with a &S12,ACK because Chassis 1 does not support Zone 09. Chassis 1 supports Zones 01-08 for this particular command.

If an &S12,ACK is not received within 200ms:

• the command was formatted incorrectly

• an error has occurred in the S128P

• serial cable not connected or defective

• S128P does not have power The S128P requires at least 50ms between each serial command transmitted to it. However, if the &S12,ACK is

received prior to 50ms, another command can be transmitted immediately.
