stereo or mono to a maximum of 16 total inputs. It supports integration of the C2 Communication
Controller. Single Chassis Mode supports a maximum of 64 audio zones with up to 256 audio
outputs (16 chassis required) in any combination or stereo or mono.
The C2 Communication Controller requires the use of 1 Mono
Input
2. Dual Chassis Mode: Dual Chassis Mode supports stereo source audio inputs only, to a
maximum of 16 total sources. It supports integration of the C2 Communication Controller. When
a C2 Communications Controller is used there is a maximum of 15 stereo source inputs available.
Dual Chassis Mode supports a maximum of 64 audio zones with up to 128 stereo pairs of audio
output (8 chassis pairs required.)
In Dual Chassis Mode each S1616A is dedicated to the Left or the Right channel audio outputs. A
minimum of 1 chassis pair is required for a Dual Chassis Mode system.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
1. During the rough-in phase, install speaker wire for the speakers and Cat5 cable for keypads, in each
zone.
2. Also during the rough-in phase, run a Cat5 wire from the location of the ELAN S1616A to the HCxx
controller for VIA!Net communications.
3. Mount the speakers and keypads in each zone, and install the ELAN S1616As and the sources. Set
the VIA!Net Unit IDs for the S1616As. Refer to the S1616A Installation Manual for VIA!Net Unit ID
programming.
4. Connect the g! system to the ELAN S1616A system electrically. See the wiring diagrams for more
information.
5. Configure the g! system for the ELAN S1616A and confirm communication between the ELAN
S1616A and the Controller.
6. Test the system by changing sources in a zone to confirm the correct source plays and volume is
controlled. Test source control for any sources that are to be controlled from the g! interface.
