Applications
This section describes typical applications using the HC4/HC8 for control. These are all
basic in nature and should be used for guideline purposes only. Each application can be
augmented as needed for individual circumstances. This section is for overall design
purposes.
Please see Chapter 3: HC4/HC8 Connections for specific wiring configurations.
HC4 Controlling a Home Theater
With four RS-232 ports, two IR output ports and two on-board relays, the HC4, combined
with the included HCREM remote, is a perfect choice to control a Home Theater System.
Figure 2-1 on the following page shows RS-232 connections to the receiver, the projector
and the lighting system. IR is used to control the cable box and the DVD player. An on-
board relay is used to drop the screen. The Internal Player accesses a Network attached
drive through the Ethernet connection.
In the ELAN configuration software, program the HC4 to control the attached devices. See
the Integration Notes at www.elanhomesystems.com/dealer.
