Unpack the HC6. Verify that you have all package contents. You should have received:
HC6 DB-15 Male-Female Cable  Rack Mounting Ears (2)
AC Power cord DB9 Male to RJ45 Adapter (6) Rack Ear Mounting Screws (8)
HCREM Remote Safety Sheet
AAA Batteries (2) Quick Install Guide (This Document)
The complete HC6 Installation manual can be found by going to www.elanhomesystems.com and
following the dealer link. Precision panel documentation is also located on the dealer site.
Mount the HC6 in the desired location. Use the included rack ears and screws if mounting in an equipment rack.
When choosing the location for the HC6 keep heat management and ventilation in mind. The HC6 should not be
directly located above heat sources such as amplifiers. When possible the HC6 should be mounted at the bottom of the
gear rack. In very warm locations (i.e.: enclosed rack or cabinet) leave a rack space above and/or below the HC6.
Serial Connections
Connect up to 6 RS232 controlled devices using the included DB9 to RJ45
adapters. Two RS485 ports are also available for a total of 8 serial ports.
Connect serial inputs from PPIS panels when using GCIREs. Connect
serial control outputs to the PPWM RJ45 connections for serial controlled
devices located in zones. Suggested Cat5 wiring is 568 for the RS232 port
connections to the DB9-RJ45 adapters. Refer to the Integration Notes for
Cat5 wiring for devices connected to the RS485 ports.
VIA!Net Connections
Connect to PPVN precision panels to provide VIA!Net communication for
TS2 user interfaces. Connect to VIA!Net controlled devices like the M86A.
Use the ELAN standard color code for this connection.

Relay Connections
Connect to the PPWM precision panel to activate relay controlled devices like lifts, drapes and
movie screens located in the zones. Connect bare leads using the screw down terminals to 3.5
stereo minis connected to the PPWM. Only Room connections 1-4 on the PPWM have relay
connections. Accepts up to 24V AC or DC and current of up to 1 amp.
Sense Input Connections
Connect to the Sense Input connections of the PPWM using 3.5 stereo cables. This allows ELAN
sensors connected to PPRMs to be used to trigger events or to be used when conditionals are
required in programming. The connection from the HC6 provides power for the sensor.
Optionally, sensors may be connected directly to the HC6 sense inputs.
IR Output Connections
Connect to IR controlled devices at the head end or by using the PPWM to connect
to IR controlled devices located in zones. Use 3.5 mono cables to connect to the
PPWM. If more than six IR controlled devices are to be used connect the DB15
cable from the HC6 to the PPWM. An IR ALL port is also provided.
EXTERNAL IR Input Connection
Connect to the EXT IR IN connection of a PPVN or the PPWM. This connection allows the HC6 to
receive IR input from a TS2’s IR receiver (through the PPVN) or from an IR sensor connected to a
PPRM, PPIS or PPIR (through the PPWM). If you need to connect both the PPWM and a PPVN
to the EXT IR In of the HC6 an IR connecting block can be used.
Audio Output Connection
Connect to the source inputs of the A/V Controller. These are the line level audio outputs
of the Internal Player.
Video In/Out Connections
Connect the Video Output to the component input of a monitor to provide the On Screen
Display of the HC6. Connect the Video Inputs to the component video output of the A/V
Controller to allow video to loop through the HC6 when the OSD is not being displayed.
Ethernet and USB Connections
Connect the Ethernet connector to a switch or router to allow the HC6 to communicate on
the network.
Connect the USB connection to the dial-up modem for Voice Mail applications.
Connect AC Power Cord
Verify the HC6 is powered using the Activity Indicator LEDs.
Verify the HC6 is on the network
Using the g! Configuration software verify the HC6 is on the network. You can also “ping”
the HC6’s IP address from a computer that is on the network.
The HC6 comes from the factory as a DHCP client. We recommend changing the IP
address using the “Config IP Info” button on g! ConnectPro to a dedicated static address
outside of the DHCP range of your network.

To help protect your equipment from power surges and momentary power interruptions, we
strongly suggest that you use a battery-backed power supply (UPS) with this equipment.
