SPP System Precision Panel
The SPP System Precision Panel is designed to be the connectivity solution for all ELAN C Series Multi-Room
Controllers. The rear panel of the SPP features a neatly laid out array of all the 110 punch-downs necessary to
ensure quick, reliable connection of keypads, touch panels, touchpads, Sense Inputs and Triggers in every zone.
Clearly labeled overlays show the color-code and function of every connection for the S86A Controller as well as
other ELAN Multi-Room Controllers.
Note: Each S86A chassis in a multi-chassis system requires its own
SPP Precisionpanel.

Figure 3-1: SPP Connection Overview
Keypads, touch panels and touchpads connect to the back of the SPP Precision Panel. RJ-45 connectors on the
front provide an easy interface to the Zone IR Inputs on the S86A Controller. Use one or two meter RJ-45-to-RJ-45
interconnect cables for reliable connections. Six Sense Input jacks use stereo 3.5mm interconnect cables to go
directly to the Sense Inputs on the S86A. The front panel also features DC power jacks for 1.5A, 4A and 10A VIA!
power supplies .The front panel of the SPP is removable, to facilitate easy access when connecting wires.
New-construction brackets are available, or the SPP can easily be retro-fitted using the four clamping legs attached
to the frame, which secure the panel securely to drywall. Additional panels are required for systems with two, three
or four S86A Controllers (one SPP per chassis).
