Introduction

The VHTO100 is a high power speaker

switching module that allows ELAN Page

and Door Chime audio to be heard through

speakers in non-ELAN system areas such

as the Home Theater.  A 12VDC signal-

transmitted by an ELAN Z•600

Communications Controller, ELAN HD

Series MCU or a MAC24/AV-L2 whenever 

a Page or Door Chime is initiated-triggers

a pair of relays on the VHTO100, switching

the audio path from the local system

amplifier to the ELAN system amplifer.

In a Home Theater, ELAN Page and Door

Chime audio can be routed to the rear

channel speakers.  This does not interupt

the entire movie presentation, (as the front

and center channel speakers will continue

to broadcast the movie audio) yet allows

the Page and Door Chime audio to be 

easily heard.  Another application might be

in a child's room with a stand-alone local

system and the parents wish to have 

ELAN Page and Door Chime audio heard.
