Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
The sample installations on the next few pages will help familiarize you with the
features of your unit. You MUST know how your system is laid out to program it with
this manual. If you have questions about your configuration, please contact your
installing dealer for more information.
Single Family Residence (NPB)
This type of installation utilizes the "No Phone Bill" (NPB) feature. When a visitor
contacts the resident at the unit, it does not dial a separate number to reach you in
your residence. The unit essentially functions as an intercom with your residence
phone. Therefore, the NPB does not require the use of directory codes, since the unit
will only need to ring a single telephone line to the house. When a visitor arrives,
they will simply press the unit’s "Call" button to contact the resident.
Telco Phone Line
Bypass
Board
AUG 10, 2005
WELCOME
Multi-Resident Complex (Dial-Out)
This installation utilizes the dial-out feature. Each resident has a separate phone
number. The unit dials the resident’s numbers using preprogrammed Directory
Codes. Because the unit dials a separate phone number to contact the resident, the
"Call Waiting" and "Direct Command" features will not work. The unit must be
remotely programmed.

With this type of installation, the manager has the same features as the single family

the manager directly using "Call" button or contact residents using preprogrammed

Visitors or residents of a building or complex controlled by a unit can gain
access using one of the following methods:
Resident Phone (Directory Codes): A visitor may dial a resident’s
directory code from the unit to contact him/her. The resident can then
decide to grant or deny the visitor access to the building or complex.
Keypad (Entry Codes): A resident may enter a valid entry code on the
unit’s keypad or an optional external Wiegand-compatible keypad to enter
the building or complex.
Optional Card Readers (Cards): A resident may present a valid card
to an optional Wiegand-compatible card reader to enter the building or
complex. Card readers are typically located near an entry/exit area (e.g.,
door or gate).
Optional Radio Frequency Receivers (Transmitters): A resident
may choose to use an optional Passport radio frequency transmitter or
other optional Wiegand-compatible receiver to enter the building or
complex. For example, these may be used to open a vehicular gate.

The unit can control the property with a vehicular gate operator, access card or the
unit’s keypad. Residents can use programmed transmitters for the parking lot,
access cards for the pool or a personal entry code for the main entrance. The main
entrance is equipped with a door sensor to alert management about inappropriate
use. The exit sensor will automatically open the gate for exiting cars.

Programming Single Unit Overview
The units can be programmed 4different ways:
1. Keypad: You may use the keypad on the front panel (next page).
2. Local/Remote DTMF Phone: You may use the keypad on a local or remote phone
to program the system. The unit responds to the DTMF signals generated by your
touch-tone phone (next page).
3. Direct/Modem Connection to a PC: In order to program the units with a direct or
modem connection, your PC must be running Chamberlain’s Windows®
compatible Versa XS software (not covered in this manual).
4. EL2000 Keypad with Display: On EL2000 units with an LCD, you have two ways
to use the LCD to program the unit.
1. Enter program steps and use the LCD to confirm the step(s) before entry or
2. Use the program menus in an interactive step-by-step manner to program
common items in the system.
When using the program menus, you’ll notice that they are fairly intuitive
and walk you through the common areas necessary to set up a basic
system. There is also a quick start menu selection, numerous help files
and voice and text confirmation of the areas programmed. Two areas
that do need special mention are noted below:
1. Scan Mode: This is a new feature that allows you to enter single transmitters or
cards by scanning them into the system. The program menus are the only area in
the system where you can use the scan mode feature.
2. and keys and and keys for navigation and text input while
using the program menus. The up and down keys help you to scroll through the
alphabet for text input, while "4" and "6" numeric keys allow you to advance the
cursor forward or backward.
The best way to learn how to navigate through the menus is to actually
use them to program the standard settings in the system. You can use
the keypad programming template on page 72 for a description of the
keypad keys and functions.

Procedure Required to Program EL Models:
1. 1,2 or 3 digit Programming Number. (See "Quick Reference Guide" Tables for descriptions
and procedures)
2. One or more Data Fields.
3. Pound Key (#) as a Data Field Separator and at the end of the programming sequence to Save
the Data.
NOTES:
• All data fields must be separated with the pound key (#).
Example: (Programming Number) # (Data Field) # (Data Field) # (Data Field) #
•Steps tagged with a ( ) are optional, press the pound key (#) to skip them. NOTE: Some
steps are required and must have data entered in them to continue, tagged with ( ).
•If you make an error during an entry, press the asterisk key (*) to cancel the step.
•When you correctly enter the entire programming sequence, the unit will respond with voice
feedback (see also System Feedback/Responses(Beeps) on page 16).
