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 l est inférieure à la limite ‘exposition aux fréquences
radio d’Industry Canada (IC). Utilisez l’appareil de sans l de façon à minimiser les contacts humains lors du
fonctionnement normal. Ce périphérique a également été évalué et démontré conforme aux limites d’expo-
sition 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).

The EL-IO-200 is designed to mount to a wall, on a shelf, or mount in a structured wiring
enclosure with optional mounting bracket.
Wall Mounting
The EL-IO-200 chassis has been designed to allow convenient wall mounting in any ori-
entation. Arrows on the rear panel may be used to mark the location for the screws. Mark
the screw locations, mount the screws leaving approx. 3/16” (5mm) of screw exposed and
slide the chassis over the screws.

Shelf Mounting
The EL-IO-200 has rubber feet to protect nished surfaces. Set the controller in a location
that will allow you to properly manage connected wiring so that there is no tension on the
connections.
Structured Wiring Cabinet Mounting
Mount the EL-IO-200 in a structured wiring cabinet using the optional structured wiring
cabinet mount.
1. Attach mounting bracket to the wiring cabinet with snap rivets and washers.
2. Snap the controller to the 2 hooks on the mounting bracket.

3. RS-232 Serial Connections
Connect up to two RS-232 serial controlled devices using an included DB9 to RJ45 adapter
to the RS232 port on the rear of the controller.
For null modem connections, the ports can be congured in ELAN Congurator. For more
information, refer to the Integration Note for this device.

mine 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.

4. 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 specics.
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. IR Output Connections
Four discrete IR outputs are supplied to control third party devices. Each output is compati-
ble with Xantech single and dual emitters. IR outputs are 12V.

6. Signal Input Connections
Two signal input ports provide a way to trigger events based on a contact closure or voltage
input. Detects 5V to 12V DC / 24VAC Max.
*Please verify your device can accept 12V input for contact closure, as this could cause
damage the device if not rated for 12V.
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-IO-200.
For detailed wiring instructions, please refer to the Integration Note.
7. Relay Connections
Two 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-IO-200 output to control that relay.
NOTE: The relays only control turning the external load on / off and do not supply any
power.

Note: The EL-IO-200 can be connected via WiFi, however a wired connection is preferred.
9. Reset Button
Press and hold the reset button for 3 to 5 seconds to reset the network settings. The IP
address will be reset to DHCP if a static IP address has been assigned and if congured for
WiFi, will reset to an Ethernet connection.
10. Power
Once all other connections have been completed, connect an Ethernet cable connected to a
PoE switch or the 5 VDC, 2A power supply to the DC input.
11. LED Status Indicator
The LED communicates the status of the controller:
Blue
Power on / connected to network / connected to main controller

12. Network Connection
The EL-IO-200 is factory set to use DHCP. Connect to a wired network and use the ELAN
Congurator to connect to the IO-200 Extender. Once connected, use Congurator to set
a static IP address or connect via WiFi.
