FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
· Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
La puissance de sortie émise par l’appareil de sans fil est inférieure à la limite `exposition aux fréquences radio d’Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans fil de façon à minimiser les contacts humains lors du fonctionnement normal. Ce périphérique a également été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites d’exposition aux RF d’IC dans des conditions d’exposition à des appareils mobiles (antennes sont supérieures à 20 cm à partir du corps d’une personne).
Z-Wave Operating Frequency
Australia/New Zealand: 919.8, 921.4 MHz
US/Canada: 908.40, 908.42, 916 MHz
European: 868.40, 868.42, 869.85 MHz
Z-Wave Developer’s Kit: 7.13.1
This product can be operated in any Z-WaveTM network with other Z-Wave
certified 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 finished 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 configured in ELAN Configurator.

function of each conductor of the RS-232 ports. Please refer to the ELAN
Integration Note for the specific 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.

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 specifics.
CAUTION: Do not connect cables with PoE power on them to the RS-232 or RS-485 ports as it will damage the unit.

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.

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 flashing slowly Boot up Blue flashing rapidly Controller
