Forexample; whenever any 6050 Smoke Detector alarms and the alarm iscommunicated to the Control, the Control will broadcast a signal to all otherenrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors informing them to turn on their sounder.Likewise, whenever the alarm is silenced at the Control, a broadcast willbe transmitted to silence the other "like" detectors. EXCEPTION: If smokeis still present in a detector, that detector will not cease sounding until thesmoke has been cleared. Below is a complete listing of the two-waycommunications signals:Alarm - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that thedetection chamber has sufficient smoke or heat toqualify as an alarm condition.Trouble - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that thedetector has an internal fault and may requireservice.Low - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that theBattery batteries have reached a low voltage state andmust be replaced to maintain proper operation.Test/Silence - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the TestButton was pressed on a detector which wassounding an alarm. The Control will treat this a asilence the Fire audible signal..Sounder On - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectorsinforming them to activate their sounder.Sounder Off - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectorsinforming them to silence their sounder. This istriggered by the silencing of the Fire Audible. NOTE:A detector will not silence if it continues to detectsmoke or heat.Trouble Off - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectorsinforming them to silence their trouble chirps. In thecase of a low battery trouble chirp, if the batteriesare not replaced then the chirp will re-start after 24hours.Alarm/Status LEDHeat Sensorand Ack LEDTest/SilenceButtonAlarmSounderHeatSensor
Page 2 ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke DetectorWARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE DETECTORSyWireless smoke detectors are very reliable, but may not work underall conditions. No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property.Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life insurance.ySmoke Detectors require a source of power to work. Thissmoke detector will not operate and the alarm will not sound if batteriesare dead or not installed properly.ySmoke Detectors may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someonewho has taken drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installedoutside a bedroom. Closed or partially closed doors and distance canblock sound. This alarm is not designed for the hearing impaired.ySmoke Detectors may not always activate and provide warningearly enough. Smoke detectors only activate when enough smokereaches the alarm. If a fire starts in a chimney, wall, roof, on the otherside of closed doors, or on a different level of the property, enoughsmoke may not reach the alarm for it to alarm.ySmoke Detectors are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and evendeath. However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothingworks perfectly under every circumstance and we must warn you thatyou cannot expect a smoke alarm to ensure that you will never sufferany damage or injury.yCurrent studies have shown smoke detectors may not awaken allsleeping individuals. It is the responsibility of individuals in the householdthat are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those whomay not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may beincapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.WHERE TO INSTALLWarning: As a minimum requirement, smoke detectors must be installed inaccordance with the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) Standard 72,Chapters 2, 3, and 5, which define the standards for the National Fire AlarmCode (National Fire Protection Association), Batterymarch Park, MA 02269-9101). Depending on the application, you may need to reference otherchapters of NFPA 72 or NFPA 101.In addition, observe all local and nationalbuilding and electrical codes. See back page for listing of NFPA Guidelines.When choosing an installation location, consider:o Use of structure and type of constructiono Contents you want to protect and their burning characteristicso Human occupancyo Total area to be monitoredo Ceiling height and surface conditiono Air movement and vent locationso Obstructionso DeflectionsAfter considering these factors, choose a location:o Where the temperature range is between 40° and 100° F (4.4° and37.8° C).o Where the humidity is between 0 and 90% non-condensing.o Away from ventilation sources that can prevent smoke from reachingthe smoke alarm.o That is at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from bathrooms.When placing the product on a ceiling, mount it in the center of the roomor hallway, at least 4 inches (10cm) away from any walls or partitions.When mounting the product on a wall, place it so the top is 4 to 12 inches(10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.In rooms with sloped, peaked, or gabled ceilings, place smoke alarms 3feet (.9 m) down or away from the highest point of the ceiling.If mounting to suspended ceiling tile, secure the tile with the appropriatefastener to prevent tile removal.Smoke detectors are not to be used with alarm guards unless thecombination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.Note: A smoke detector does not provide warnings for fires resulting fromexplosions, smoking in bed, or other furniture; ignition of flammable liquids,vapors and gasses; and children playing with matches or lighters.Bedroom 1DenLiving RoomKitchenBasement1st FloorIn homes basements or multiple levels at least one smoke detector shall be on each level.A Smoke Detector shall be located in the hallway outside the entrance to any bedroom areas.In new construction an additional Smoke Detector shall be installed in each sleeping area2nd FloorSSSSDiningGarageMaster BedroomBedroom 2BathSMaster BathBedroom 3SBathSSSS SSSSRequired Smoke Detector – Absolute Minimum Additional Smoke required in new construction and for additional protection
ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke Detector Page 3Locations to Avoido Areas where normal ambient temperature exceeds 100° F (37.8° C).o Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas.o In or near areas with combustion particles (kitchens, garages,furnaces, hot-water heaters, gas space heaters).o On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens, where there is no transombetween the kitchen and such rooms.o Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers.o Near fresh-air inlets or returns or very drafty areas.o Near heating/air conditioning vents, fans, and fresh air intakes, whichcan drive smoke away from the smoke alarm.o In dead-air spaces at the top of peaked ceilings or in corners wherewalls and ceiling meet. Dead air can prevent smoke from reaching asmoke alarm/alarm.o Within 10 feet (3 m) of fluorescent light fixtures.o Not suitable for outdoor use.In Case of Fireo Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables.o In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary.The clearest air is usually near the floor.o If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door anddoor knob to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace yourfoot against the bottom of the door with your hip against the door andone hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air isfelt, slam the door quickly and latch it. Unvented fire tends to build upconsiderable pressure. Be sure all members of the household realizeand understand this danger.o Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the firedepartment. The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to theprofessionals.Be PreparedPractice the following steps to prepare you and your family in the eventof a fire:o Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarmsignal.o Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is importantthat children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in timesof crisis.o Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyonemeet there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someonereentering the house for a missing member who is actually safe.o If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing inyour household, use window decals to help emergency personnelidentify the sleeping quarters of these individuals.IMPORTANT:It is recommend that the Smoke Detector be enrolled(added) into the Control and a Full-Test be performedprior to permanently mounting the detector in theintended location.Mounting the Smoke DetectorPlease enroll (add) the Smoke Detector into the Control andperform a Full-Alarm test with the detector temporarilypositioned in the intended mounting location. This shoud bedone PRIOR to permanent mounting to help ensure that thelocation is suitably in range of the wireless Transceiver and/orthe Control. A little extra time and a few steps now can oftensave loads of time later.A. Before mounting disconnect or disable any alarm-notificationappliances (bells, sirens), any service-release devices, and anyextinguishing systems that may be a part of the Control panel. Testcommunications between the control panel and smoke detectorbefore permanently mounting. Test as follows:oHold the Smoke Detector in the approximate location where it isto be installed.oPress the alarm test button on the front of the unit for approximately4 seconds. The built-in sounder should go into alarm and awireless alarm transmission should be sent to the Control.oAt the Control Keypad, verify that the signal was received and thatthe Fire Alarm sounded. If no signal is received or the RF signalis low, relocate the smoke alarm and retest.B. Using two supplied screws and anchors, mount the detector baseplate.Note: NEVER attach this Smoke Detector to a removable ceiling panelunless some form of span support bracket is utilized. The bestrecommendation is to always mount directly to the metal grid supportof the removable ceiling panels.C. Attach the Smoke Detector to the mounting baseplate as follows:oLine up the raised alignment tab on the lip of the detector with thealignment arrow on the mounting base.oInsert the detector into the base and turn clockwise about 15degrees until it snaps into place.Note: The product is designed so that it cannot be attached to the mountingbase if no batteries are installed.D. Test communications between the Smoke Detector and the Controlonce again.- Press the Test button on the front of the unit for 8-to-10 seconds.Both the unit itself and the Control should sound an alarm.- Verify the alarm and silence at the Control by entering a valid UserCode.E. The Control and all auxiliary functions should be verified for a completetest of the system.Alignment arrowAlignment tab
Page 4 ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke DetectorNormal Mode Operationo In normal operation, the Alarm/Status LED should flash once every16 seconds.o In alarm mode, the Alarm/Status LED should be ON – Red Color.o In trouble or maintenance mode, the Alarm/Status LED is OFF.Silencing an Alarm or Low Batteryo Press the Test/Silence button to silence the sounder during an alarmand will also silence a Low Battery trouble chirp.o After a few minutes the sounder and alarm will resume if smoke isstill present in the detection chamber.Tamper ProtectionA Fire Trouble signal will be transmitted to the Control when the SmokeDetector front housing is removed from the backplate. Replacing thedetector onto the baseplate should restore the Fire Trouble condition.BatteriesWhen the batteries become low the 6050 will extinguish its Alarm/StatusLED and communicate a low battery trouble to the Control. It will sound alocal chirp every 45 seconds until the batteries are replaced. The lowbattery chirp can be silenced for 24 hours by pressing the Test/Silencebutton. Estimated battery service life is 5 - 7 years in typical usage.Replacing / Installing BatteriesUse only 3V lithium CR123A batteries, as listed on the battery compart-ment cover. Replace both batteries at the same time.A. Remove the Smoke Detector from the baseplate by grasping thefront housing and twisting counterclockwise.B. Slide the battery compartment cover away from the smoke alarmto unsnap it and lift it off (see the figure below).C. Remove and dispose of (recycle) the batteries appropriately.D. WAIT AT LEAST 20 SECONDS after removing the old batteriesbefore installing the new batteries.E. Observe correct polarity and insert two new 3V lithium batteriesinto the battery compartmen. Lay the black ribbon in behind thenew batteries as they are installed.Note: Use only new batteries when replacing old batteries. Do notreplace with batteries that were used previously. Use of adifferent battery can detrimentall affect the smoke alarm opera-tion. Caution: Constant exposures to high or low humidity mayreduce battery life.F. Replace the flat cover over the battery compartment.G. Align the raised alignment tab on the lip of the smoke alarm withthe arrow on the mounting base and reattach the smoke alarm tothe mounting baseplate.H. Test the Smoke Detector and the Control to verify operation.RF ACK (Acknowledge) Green & Orange/Red LEDThis LED is located near the detector's Test/Silence button, but downinside the cavity where the heat sensor is located. This LED helps providea way to verify that the wireless (RF) communications to the Control. TheLED will briefly flash Green if successful, or Orange/Red if unsuccessful.To view this LED it may be necessary to look directly into the heat sensorcavity. Bright lighting may hinder this viewing.GREEN blink = Detector has successfully communicated to the Controland the signal was positively acknowledged.ORANGE/RED blink = Detector was not successful in communicating tothe Control after multiple attempts. Refer to the Troubleshootingsection of this manual.Full-Alarm Testing of the Smoke DetectorThis sensor may be tested during install or at anytime after. At a minimumIt is recommended the product be tested annually in-place.NOTE: Prior to conducting any testing ALWAYS contact your CentralMonitoring Station to inform them of the impending test.A. Use Smoke! in a can® and follow the directions on the can.B. Or hold a smoldering punk or cotton wick close to the unit and gentlydirect the smoke into the smoke entry openings for 20 seconds oruntil an alarm is indicated.The Alarm/Status LED should illuminate, the sounder should emit atemporal 3 pattern, and the Control should be indicating a Fire alarmcondition. Fan the detector to clear the smoke source and stop thelocal alarm. Enter a valid User Code at the Control Keypad to silenceand reset the alarm. Extinguish the smoke source after testing!LOCAL (non-alarm) Testing of the Smoke DetectorThe detector's operation with the Control can also be tested WITHOUTcausing a full alarm using the Control Walk Test mode (User Menu #3). ThisDOES NOT TEST or confirm the operation of any alarm notificationappliances (Sirens/Bells), nor does it test the Central Station Communi-cations. Use the Full-Alarm testing procedures for those purposes.A. Place the Control in the WalkTest Area mode (User Menu #3).While in the Walk Test the communicator does not sendalarms to the Central Monitoring Station.B. Locate the Test/Silence button on the Smoke Detector front.C. Press and hold the Test/Silence button for 4 seconds, thenrelease. The Alarm/Status LED should blink indicating that the testhas begun. Then the following should occur:1. The Alarm/Status LED should illuminate solid Red and the built-in sounder should blast for several seconds.2. The RF ACK (Acknowledge) LED (located near the Test/Silencebutton) should flash Green as soon as the transmission isacknowledged by the Control.3. A chime tone should be heard at the keypad where Walk Testwas initiated. You may also hear the Control speak a numberproceeded by the words "level." This is an approximate signalstrength of the sensor's transmission. The higher the better.4. The same keypad will also display the number of zones thathave successfully been tested. This number increments asadditional zones are tested. Unfortunately there is no way toview which Smoke Detector zone tested because that portionof the Walk Test is only designed for Burglary tested zones.D. When satisfied with the test results press the " * " or Clear key toexit the Walk Test Area mode.
ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke Detector Page 5Enrolling into Control from Keypad ProgrammingEach wireless sensor is programmed with a unique TXID number whenmanufactured. The unique ID must be enrolled into the control panel atthe time of installation, allowing the detector to communicate with thatspecific control panel.1. Make sure the M1XRFTW Transceiver is powered up and enrolledwith the M1 Control.2. Enter M1 Keypad Installer Programming and navigate to Menu:14-Wireless Setup3. Scroll up to sub-menu:3:Learn Sel Wireless Transmtr and pressSelect (right arrow).4. Scroll to and select an unassigned WZone (wireless zone) andpress Learn (right arrow) to enroll.5. Insert the Batteries into the 6050 as soon as the keypad displays:Push Transmitter Button. The M1G will speak; “Press transmitterbutton for zone xx”. If successful the Keypad will chime and brieflydisplay the 6 digit TXID code of the sensor. If a TXID is not displayedthen enrollment was not successful. Should this happen, re-move the batteries, wait 5 seconds, and re-insert.Rapid-Enroll will auto advance to the next wireless zone in sequenceand wait for the next sensor. Repeat the previous step for each newsensor.6. After all wireless sensors are enrolled, press the ELK or SelectWireless key to stop Rapid-Enroll.7. Set the Loop ID to Type 2 - To do this scroll to the appropriatewireless zone and press the HW (left arrow) button. An 8 digitnumber (the TXID in decimal) will now display followed by Loop = 0.Move the cursor to the right (press RIGHT arrow) and enter a "2".Press the ELK key or the Select Wireless key to back out. The LoopID is an identifier sent wireless by the 6050 to the Control. Settingthe Loop ID to 2 is very important as the 6050 detector will notcommunicate with the Control unless this is set. The M1 default forall wireless zones is Loop "0".8. Set Supervision Type to "1" (Normal Supervision) - To do thispress the ELK or the Select Wireless key to locate Sub-Menu: 2:XmitTransmitter Opt. Scroll to the desired wireless zone, press Select(right arrow) and scroll to Option 2: Supervision Type. Change orverify that this is set to "1." The Supervision Type informs the Controlto expect a supervisory check-in report from the 6050 detectorapproximately every 64 minutes. If set to "0" the control will notexpect a supervisory check-in, thus leaving the device unsupervised.A separate M1 option sets the number of missed check-ins that willbe allowed before a sensor is declared missing.9. PROGRAM THE ZONE DEFINITION - This must be done from KeypadMenu 5 - Zone Definitions for all new enrolled wireless zones.The Elk-6050 Smoke Detector may be enrolled into the Control using one of the following two methods.Enrolling into Control using ELKRP software1. Launch the ElkRP PC software and open the desired CustomerAccount file.2. Click the "+" next to Zones (Inputs) to expand the view. Look to seeif there are any existing wireless zone groups. If there are none thenit will be necessary to add or create a new group. To create awireless group, right click on Zones (Inputs) and click NewWireless Zones. Place a check mark in the box to be added,starting with Group 2). Click OK. Repeat if more wireless groupsare required.NOTE: The M1 Control requires all expanded zones to bedefined in groups of 16. E.G. Zones 17-32 = Group 2, zones33-48 = Group 3, etc. And it requires the M1XRFTW Two-WayTransceiver to always be enrolled as the first expander(databus address 2). For this reason, the first group ofwireless sensors must be defined as group 2. M1 allowsa maximum of 144 wireless zones, therefore the lastpotential wireless zone will be Zone 160. So, If a largenumber wireless zones is ever anticipated, it would be agood idea to avoid conflict with any future Hardwired Zonesin the 17 to 160 range by NOT enrolling any Hardwired ZoneExpanders (M1XIN) at data bus addresses below 10.3. Double click on Wireless - Group _ (the group just added) anddouble click one zone at a time to define the Zone Name, Definition,Type, Attributes, etc.4. The next steps involve setting the sensor's TXID and other wirelesssetup. The wireless setup may accessed directly from each zonedefinition screen (click the Wireless Setup button) OR from theElkRP Wireless Setup in the folders column.5. Enable the sensor by placing a check mark in the Enabled box.6. Set the Supervision type to "1" (Normal Supervision) for the6050. A setting of "0" means the control will not expect a supervisorycheck-in from the detector. For additional details refer to Supervisionon the previous page.7. Skip to the TXID box and enter the detector TXID that is printedon the small printed label attached to inside back of the detector.8. Skip to the LOOP box and set the Loop to Type 2. This is veryimportant as the 6050 will not communicate with the Control unlessthis is set.9. Click Save. Repeat the entire sequence above for additional 6050detectors or other Wireless Zone sensors.Don't forget to PROGRAM THE ZONE DEFINITION of the 6050detector to Fire (Def=10).
Page 6 ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke DetectorMaintenanceThis 6050 Smoke Detector is designed for a service life of approximately8 to 10 years. Even so, the following annual and random maintenancetests are recommended:Annual - Smoke Detector Test {Locate and follow the section inthis manual titled: Full-Alarm Testing of the Smoke AlarmRandom - Visually check for LED flashing every 16 seconds- Perform a Detector Sensitivity TestDetector Sensitivity TestThis test performs a manual diagnostic of the detector with the resultsdisplayed via flashes of the Alarm/Status LED. To initiate this test:A. Press and hold the detector Test button for 4 seconds. Once thetest starts, the alarm/status LED will flash 1 to 9 times.B. Count the LED flashes and view the table below to determine theresults of the sensitivity test and any action required.IMPORTANT:If the sensitivity is within limits and all other tests pass, the detector willgo into full alarm mode after the LED flashes stop. This also causes theControl to go into alarm. The detector will auto-reset after 7 seconds,but the Control's alarm must be manually reset by entering a User Code.If the sensitivity is not within limits, or an unserviceable hardware faultis detected, the LED will remain OFF indicating that the Smoke Detectormust be serviced or possibly replaced.FFLASHES MEANING STEPS TO TAKE1Unserviceable hardware faultReset smoke sensor alarm and rerun the sensitivity test. If error persists, replace smoke sensor.2 - 3 Smoke sensor is becoming insensitiveClear smoke sensor, reset it, and rerun the sensitivity test. If error persists, replace smoke sensor.4 - 7 Smoke sensor is within normal sensitivity range. None.8 - 9 Smoke sensor is becoming too sensitiveVerify smoke chamber is snapped down securely. Clean smoke sensor and replace the smoke chamber.Cleaning the Smoke DetectorClean the cover with a dry or slightly damp (water ONLY) cloth as neededto keep it free from dust and dirt. When necessary, use the followingprocedure to clean the interior of the detector and replace the opticalchamber (UTC part #211) as follows:A. Notify the Central Monitoring Station prior to cleaning or testing.B. Remove the detector from its mounting base. This will generate a FireTrouble condition on the Control.C. Remove the battery cover and then remove both batteries.D. Slide a flat-blade screwdriver in the alarm cap slot. Gently push thehandle down to pry the cap up and off. See figure below.E. Squeeze the optical chamber where indicated . Pull it up and awayfrom the optical base and discard. See figure below.F. Carefull blow out all dust and dirt from the optical base. A soft-bristledbrush may also be utilized.G. Align the latches on the optical base with the arrows on the NEWoptical chamber and snap it down into place.H. Replace the detector cap by aligning the four protrusion with thenotches in the detector. Then insert the cap and turn clockwise about15 degrees. The cap should snap firmly into place.I. Insert the batteries into the detector using the proper polarity, thenreplace the battery compartment cover.J. Reattach the detector to its mounting base.K. Run the Detector Sensitivity test.
ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke Detector Page 7TroubleshootingDetector does not power up- Verify that the batteries are fully seated inside the battery compartmentand that their polarity orientations are correct.- Check the battery voltage (3.0 VDC nominal).Tamper alert sounds- Press the keypad " * " or clear key to silence the tamper. You may berequired to enter a valid user code to silence/clear.- During service or maintenance the control should be placed into WalkTest mode so that tamper alerts will not sound.Tamper condition does not restore- Verify that the detector is properly seated and locked into the mountingbaseplate.- Perform a sensitivity test to be sure there are no trouble indicationsin the detector.Alarm condition does not restore- Fan some clear air towards the detector to be certain that no smokestill exists in the detector.- Make sure the ambient air temperature isn't too high for the heat sensorin the detector.The ACK (Acknowledge) LED flashes Orange/Red when thedetector attempts to communicate with the Control- Verify that the detector is properly enrolled into the Control.- Verify that the detector's TXID matches what is enrolled in the Control.- Verify that the M1XRFTW Transceiver and the Control are poweredup and that the Transceiver's data bus address is set to either 2, 3,4, or 5. Verify that the Transceiver has been enrolled into the Control.- Check to see if the detector is comfortably within range of theM1XRFTW Transceiver.- Test another (different) two-way wireless sensor at this samelocation to determine if it can successfully communicate.- It may be necessary to temporarily move the unsuccessful detectora little closer to the M1XRFTW Transceiver and retest. If it successfullyworks at a closer location then it may be necessary to:a. Relocate the M1XRFTW Transceiver to a closer and morecentral location to this and all other sensors.ORb. Purchase another (redundant) M1XRFTW transceiver andmount it closer to the area where this sensor is mounted.NFPA GuidelinesNFPA 72, 2-1.4.2.1 Total (Complete) CoverageIf required, total coverage shall include all rooms, halls, storage areas,basements, attics, lofts, spaces above suspended ceilings, and othersubdivisions and accessible spaces; and the inside of all closets,elevator shafts, enclosed stairways, dumbwaiter shafts, and chutes.Inaccessible areas shall not be required to be protected by alarms.
