System Design
Proper system design ensures that all parts of a whole-house audio/video
system work together to provide the desired results. Each part of the system
(source A/V components, keypads, speakers, and the multi-room controller, for example) must be carefully chosen and a location specified for each
device. Wiring needs must be carefully planned for. Building codes and
contruction methodology must be factored in to provide a safe and properly
functioning system. Before beginning any installation, it is advisable to consult a set of building plans and a list of equipment and map out each part
of the system. Make sure to carefully locate speakers, keypads, touchpads,
touch panels, and wire runs so as to avoid interference with other household
devices such as plumbing, doors, windows, and high-current electrical wires.
System Design is typically comprised of Prewire, Rough-In, and Trim-Out.
The following sections will describe each phase of the installation process
as they pertain to installing ELAN VIA! Touch Panels and the PVIA1 Precision
Panel specifically.

WIRE RUNS
Runs of Cat-5 for IR and Data transmission and RG-6 or RG-59 for Video
signals are required between the VIA! Touch Panel, PVIA1 Wall Plate and the
central equipment location. If the VIA! Touch Panel is powered locally only a
single run of Cat-5 and a single run of coax will be necessary.
If the VIA! Touch Panel is to be powered by a power supply located at the
“head-end” location of a multi-room system, refer to the table on the following page for minimum wiring requirements.

Stand-Alone/Home Theater
The VIA! Touch Panel is ideal for use as a stand-alone system controller or
Home Theater controller. For control of a Home Theater system, the VIA!
Touch Panel and PVIA1 Wall Plate are combined with a method for IR distribution such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified Connection Block. Signals originate
at the VIA! Touch Panel, pass through the PVIA1 Wall Plate, then travel to the
connection block where they are routed to each component.
NOTE: This application does not allow for independent control of identical
sources. An ELAN multi-room controller or SS1 System Controller should
be used in that scenario.

Composite Video Connections
Stand-Alone/Home Theater
There are many ways to integrate a VIA! Touch Panel in a Stand-alone/Home
Theater application. Many Home Theater receivers, Satellite, and Cable
boxes have secondary composite video monitor ports located on them that
can be use to connect to the PVIA1 Wall Plate. Also, matrix video switchers
like ELAN’s Z•880 or V883 can be used to distribute video to the VIA! Touch
Panel, Projectors and TV monitors throughout the home.
The PVIA1 Wall Plate features a pass-through video connector to conveniently allow for video access from a video source such as an Z•880, S12, S8
or V883 to a connected VIA! Touch Panel.
Connect the RG-59/RG-6 cable from the VIA! In-Wall Touch Panel location
to the rear panel coaxial connector of the PVIA1 Wall Plate. Connect the
video cable from the central equipment location to the front panel composite
connector of the PVIA1 In-Wall. Use VIA!TOOLS setup software to assign
video switching as required by the system’s architecture. See VIA!TOOLS for
detailed programming instructions.

IR Out - Front
The IR OUT port is a 3.5mm mono mini jack connection typically used to
control a device that is part of the main IR system in a stand-alone application. IR is routed to an emitter as shown in Figure 3-10 or an IR distribution
block connected to the IR OUT and sent to the source components with IR
emitters as shown in Figure 3-11.

IR Out - Rear
The ELAN IRD4 is the perfect companion to the PVIA1 Wall Plate in a
stand-alone application. The IRD4 is a single input, four output Amplified IR
Connection Block designed to provide a convenient way of interconnecting
IR control of source components to the PVIA1Wall Plate. This unit includes
a robust, wide-bandwidth amplifier with reverse voltage protection so that it
has the ability to drive both Mini-Emitters and High-Output Emitters reliably.
Connect IR OUT and GND from the rear panel of the PVIA1Wall Plate to CAT5 cabling and terminate it to the IRD4 IR IN and GND. Connect IR Emitters
from their Output ports and place on the source component IR Receive windows. Power up the IRD4 and with VIA!Tools programming downloaded to
the VIA! Touch Panel the sources are ready to be controlled.

POWER CONNECTION
Use an ELAN PWR1 16VDC/1.5 A power supply connected to the 16VDC
PWR1 connector for one VIA! Touch Panel.
VIA! Touch Panels will be powered locally by the power supply that comes
with the PVIA1 Wall Plate when used in a Stand-Alone application. When VIA!
Touch Panels are used in a Multi-Room Systems they may be powered by
the power supply used with the SPP Precision Panel. The SPP has connectivity provided for a PWR1, PWR4, and PWR10 Power Supply.
For complete SPP Applications & Connections refer to the SPP Installation
Manual.

POWER SENSE
In a stand-alone application the power status of an A/V receiver or cable
box may need to be monitored when using the VIA! Touch Panel. System
ON/Off status feedback will be displayed in the feedback window at the top
of the screen of the Touch Panel. Connect an ELAN PWR9 9 VDC Power
Supply into the 9 VDC connector on the PVIA1 Wall Plate and plug it into the
switched outlet of the source device. The VIA! Touch Panel can then sense
whether source voltage is present or not, and display feedback and execute
macros based on the source power state. Power On and Power Off macros
can be programmed for all Home Theater components using VIA!TOOLS. See
VIA!TOOLS for detailed programming instructions.
