PPIS Precision Panel
The PPIS panel is the connection point for the Global Caché GC-IRE. The GC-IRE converts
IR data into RS-232 data. The System Controller uses this RS-232 data to trigger Event
Maps. The PPIS can be located at the Head-end so the GC-IRE can receive IR from TS2s
connected to the PPVN as shown in Figure 3-10 on page 27 of this manual. Optionally, a
Global Caché GC-RG1 IR receiver (not sold by ELAN) can be connected to a PPIS located
in a room if desired. Connect a Cat5 from the PPIS to an HC4/HC8’s serial port.
(Maximum wire run from the System Controller to the PPIS cannot exceed 50’.)
Figure 5-8 shows the connection from the PPIS to Comm port eight of the HC8.
