About this manual

The ELANSENSE line provides a family of automation sensing solutions that share common hookup, adjustment, and programming procedures. Each sensor uses a 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo mini‑plug to connect to ELAN automation products and signals a closed contact when triggered.

This manual explains how to install each sensor type, adjust delay (0‑15 seconds) and sensitivity, and meet the power requirement of 5 VDC < 10 mA. It also includes wiring diagrams, filter usage for the LED/Light sensor, and the limited two‑year warranty terms.

Frequently asked questions

How do I adjust the delay setting on ELANSENSE sensors?

Turn the delay potentiometer counter‑clockwise to reduce the time; the delay can be set from 0 to 15 seconds.

What power supply is required for ELANSENSE sensors?

Each sensor requires a 5 VDC supply drawing less than 10 mA.

Can the LED/Light Sensor detect specific LED colors?

Yes, using the red or green filter lenses to detect red or green LEDs; removing the filters allows detection of other light sources.
