Cross Platform Control
Specifications, Installation and Programming
This Manual pertains to both the ELK-M1G and the ELK-M1 models
M1 includes the SIA CP-01 Standards for False Alarm Reduction

Introduction
LIMITATION
The ELK-M1G and ELK-M1 Controls are designed to warn against unauthorized entry and other situations. However, it is not a guarantee of
protection against the occurrence of burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for various
reasons. For example:
- Unauthorized access can be gained through unprotected points or by disarming or bypassing protected points.
- Sensing devices are power driven and do not operate without electrical power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with
dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any
reason, however briefly.
- Telephone lines over which alarm signals are transmitted may be out of service or rendered inoperable by an intruder.
- Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency
situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.
- Smoke detectors have limitations and cannot detect all types of fires. According to data published by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, while smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide
early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, . Some of the reasons some detectors used in conjunction with this
System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense
fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor
or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general,
detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending an the nature of the
fire, and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all
occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death..
- Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path
has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
- Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of
batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External
factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given
installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to
maintain protection for that given point within the system.
- Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowner, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and
property.
- A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
- Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive
Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected
in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed
doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows
or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the
ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105F (32 to 40C), the detection performance can
decrease.
- Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of
closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to
waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a
stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearingimpaired people.
- This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20
years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
- The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

DATA BUS TERMINATION IS VERY IMPORTANT!!
Diagram shows 2 basic (4-wire) home run cables with daisy chained devices on each. Last device on each cable
MUST have a Terminating Jumper installed. Jumpers are marked JP2 on keypads, JP1 on Expanders. Control
Hardware pack has two black jumpers for this purpose. Jumpers engage a 120 Ohm resistor across data A & B
lines. NOTE: If there is only 1 data bus cable, install JP3 Jumper on the Control.
WARNING! The RS485 Data Bus must NEVER have more that two (2) terminating jumpers installed.
Reliability, response, and behavior will be affected!
NOTE: If you want to home run more than 2 cables, run 6 or 8 conductor cable so that the data lines A & B can have
a return path to series connect back out to the next device. This is best done with a ELK-M1DBH Data Bus Hub
which accepts Cat5 or Cat6 cable with RJ45 plugs. For more information see diagram in keypad instructions.

See Wiring & Hookup Diagram on pages 6 & 7.

1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation
Control Mounting
Remove all packing material and compare the system components with those in the figure above to familiarize yourself with
the part names. Mount the control in a secure, dry location where the ambient temperature inside the control box can remain
at 32‘ to 120° Fahrenheit (0’ to +49' Celsius). Choose a location that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a
grounding conductor for the control. A central location makes running system wiring easier. Remove control box knockouts
that best suit your wiring needs. Mount the control using the upper center slotted hole to level. Install and connect all
necessary wiring for the power transformer, detection loops, keypads and siren outputs.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Keypad Mounting and Wiring
Ideal keypad height is 50-58 inches above the floor. Select a location with an ambient temperature range between 32° and
120° F (0° to +49° C). Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Fasten mounting plate to electrical box (or directly to wall) using flat
head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the circuit board. Keypads have a removable wiring plug for connecting to the M1
4-wire data bus. CAT5 or CAT6 eight (8) conductor cable is recommended for all Data Bus cables. The extra wires provide
data return paths. Splice the Black, Red, White, and Green wires from the removable wiring plug to the Data Bus cable. Plug
the connector into the back of the keypad. Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. Each
keypad has connections for an optional programmable output and a programmable zone input.

NOTE: Refer to the section titled Data Bus E.O.L. Termination for important information about how to handle multiple
homerun cables. NEVER SPLICE OR CONNECT WIRE WITH CONTROL POWER ON. Minimum cabling should be four
conductor 22 or 24 gauge. Maximum resistance per wire is 25 Ohms. Device placement beyond 1000' is not recommended.

1.4 Control Wiring
Zones 1 Thru 16
The zone input terminals on the control board are labeled Z1, Z2, thru Z16. There are 8 common negative terminals mixed
between every two zones with each negative to be shared by those two zones. Through programming each zone may be
configured for standard EOL supervised (end-of-line resistor) function, as well as normally closed or normally open with no
resistor required. By default each zone requires a 2,200 Ohm EOL supervision resistor at the furthest most remote end of the
detection device wiring. A combination of N/C (normally closed) and/or N/O (normally open) devices may be connected to an
EOL supervised zone.

Tip: The condition of any zone can be checked using a voltage meter across the zone and com terminals. A non-violated
zone should measure approximately 7.0 Volts DC. If the circuit is violated in an open condition, the voltage should rise to
13.8 VDC. If the circuit is shorted across the EOL resistor, the voltage should be 0 VDC. One of the Keypad Menus also
allows zone voltage to be viewed on the LCD screen. See Keypad Menus, “86-System Diagnostics” on [page 19].

Connect all alarm sensors to the zone wiring per the instructions provided by the sensor manufacturer and wiring
diagram on pages 6 & 7.
Connect each zone wire to the appropriate terminal. Each zone has an input terminal and a common (negative) return.
NOTE: A negative terminal is shared by every two zones and all negatives are common to each other.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Two-Wire Smoke Zones (Zone 16)
To enable the use of two-wire smoke detectors on Zone 16, move Jumper JP1 (located just below Zone 16 terminals) to the
right side so that the two right hand pins are covered. Go to the installer programming mode, Menu 05 - Zone Definitions, and
program Zone 16 as a Fire zone (Def=10). Step to the next location and program Wire Type=6. NOTE Use only compatible
two-wire detectors as listed on the front label of the control. Do not mix brands. The maximum number of detectors is
also listed on the front label. When jumper JP1 is set for two-wire operation, a 680 Ohm EOL resistor (furnished in the
hardware pack) must be used instead of the 2,200 Ohm. Maximum wire resistance must not exceed 60 Ohms.

Switched Power Connection (+SAUX)
Four-wire smoke detector and other devices that require a temporary power disruption in order to reset or unlatch from the
alarm state (i.e. smoke detectors, etc.) should be connected to the +SAUX 12 Volt DC switched power terminal. When a
smoke reset is performed, the operating voltage to these devices is momentarily interrupted.

Auxiliary Power Connections (+VAUX)
Motion detectors, glass breaks, etc. and other devices requiring unswitched 24-hour power should be connected to one of the
auxiliary terminals, +VAUX. All negative terminals on the terminal strip are at the same reference and may be used whenever
a common (circuit ground) negative is required. Use caution when wiring the control to distribute the load devices among the
supply and the negative terminals evenly. NOTE: Circuit ground refers to any negative terminal connection on this control.
This does not refer to the earth ground terminal or to the common terminals of Relay Output 3. These terminals are not at
the same voltage potential and should not be wired so that they are electrically connected to a negative.

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Circuit Breakers
The +VAUX Auxiliary power and J16 power output terminals are protected against shorts and overloads by a 1.25A PTC. A PTC
is a solid state, auto-restoring type of circuit breaker. The +SAUX Switched (Smoke) power output is protected by a 1.1A PTC.
The +VKP Keypad power output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. Output 2 is protected by a 1.25A PTC. NOTE: Sometimes it may
be necessary to remove power (unplug the outputs) for approx. 20 seconds after a short, to allow the PTC to reset. Even
if the short is no longer present, the remaining residual current draw may be so high that the PTC cannot determine that
the short is gone. If the PTC re-trips, check the field wiring and repair.

Transformer Primary Power Input (AC)
The control is powered by a 16.5 VAC, 40 min. VA, UL Listed Class II (power limited) transformer (ELK-TRG1640). The
specified sized and rated transformer must be used to operate this control. The transformer must be connected to a 120 VAC,
24-hour outlet not controlled by a switch other than an approved overcurrent protection device.

unplugged as well as the standby battery until all other connections have been made.

Standby Battery Connection
Connect the BLACK wire to the Neg (-) terminal on the battery, the connect the RED wire to the Pos (+) terminal on the battery.
The control is designed to operate with and recharge a 12 volt, sealed lead acid battery from 7Ah up to 18 Ah for backup of the
primary power supply. The control maintains a float charge for the battery of 13.8 VDC at 100 mA. This is in addition to the
continuous output of 1.5 Amps that the power supply maintains (see maximum current drains for UL Listed Systems).
CAUTION: Do not reverse the battery leads! The control has special circuitry which helps protect it from battery reversal
damage for short durations. However, prolonged reversal of the battery leads may cause permanent damage. A reverse
battery warning LED is located to the left of the power On/Off switch. If this light is ON, turn the power off immediately
and correct the battery lead connections.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

AC Failure, Low Battery, and Automatic Low Voltage Shutdown
During an AC power failure the battery automatically takes over and AC Fail trouble annunciates at the keypad. The
communicator can be programmed to report AC Fail to the Central Station after a time delay (see Menu 12, System Option 01).
If the battery voltage falls below 11.2 VDC a Low Battery Trouble condition will occur. The communicator can be programmed
to report Low Battery to the Central Station. The battery will continue to run the control until its voltage reaches 10.5 VDC, at
which time the control will disconnect and shut down to prevent a false alarm and damage to the battery. The AC Fail trouble
display will clear if the AC restores. However, the Low Battery Trouble requires a manual or automatic battery load test before
it will clear. An automatic battery load test is performed every 24 hours. See Section 2.2 for powering up the control.

Telephone Line Connection (R1,T1,T,R)
The telephone interface is connected by the use of an approved RJ-31X interconnect jack. This device allows the subscriber
to disconnect the control/communicator from the public switched telephone network in the event of a malfunction. The control
is equipped with line seizure so that the premises telephone service is interrupted during communication to the central
station. Connection to the approved jack is done with a RJSET cord which connects the control terminals to the RJ31X jack.
HELPFUL HINT: The telephone cord can be supervised back to the RJ31X block or Telco demarcation block by installation of
a EOL resistor across the Orange and Blue wires (terminals 2 and 7 on the RJ31X jack). Back inside the control, connect the
Orange and Blue leads from the RJ cord to any 24hr Burglar zone input.

Outputs
There are 13 outputs on the main board. Outputs may be expanded utilizing output expander boards connected to the RS-485
4-wire Keypad data bus. Outputs 1 & 2 trip when any alarm is activated. All others must be enabled through the RP Rules
Programming and can be triggered by multiple conditions “events”. Do not exceed the current limits on voltage only outputs.
Output 1 is driven by an Audio Amplifier. It is designed to handle standard 8 ohm alarm speakers (never go below a total
connected load of 2 Ohms) for inside or outside use. This output is the source for voice announcements such as: Zone 1 not
ready, System Armed, Alarm Activated, etc., as well as alarm siren sounds. The initial start volume and the final volume can be
adjusted in programming to suit the application.
Output 2 is a traditional Alarm output. It is factory set to produce alarm siren sounds into standard 8 Ohm speakers (never go
below a total connected load of 4 Ohms). It can be alternately programmed to produce voltage only (12VDC) for driving selfcontained sirens or siren driver boards
Output 3 is a Single Pole Double Throw Relay with form “C” contacts (Com, N/O, and N/C).
Outputs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are low current, positive (+) voltage only, for driving LEDs, relays, etc. Outputs 4,
5, and 6 ARE NOT available from the main board. They can only be accessed with a data bus Output expander set to
address 1. This expander will replicate all the main board outputs, including outputs 4, 5, and 6.

Programmable Outputs (J16) OUT 7 - 16 are +12V switched

Earth Grounding
Tests and studies have determined that the best results against lightning and transients are obtained by isolating the control
from ground. Do NOT connect any of the M1 terminals, especially the Neg. terminals to earth ground. Early production M1
circuit boards had a terminal marked “earth ground”. This terminal is no longer used on circuit board revision I or later.
However, ancilliary devices such as the ELK-950 Surge Protector on the incoming Telephone circuit are still recommended.

Keypad & Expanders on the RS-485 Data Bus (+VKP, Data A, Data B, Neg)
Keypads and data bus expander devices connect to the four terminals marked +VKP, Data A, Data B, and Neg. The keypad
plug-in wire harness color code is: Red +VKP, Green Data A, White Data B, and Black (-) Neg. The +VKP power terminal is
protected by an auto reset PTC device. In the event of a short circuit or malfunction, power will be removed from all devices
until the problem is resolved. Two (2) quick connect header pin plugs (J1 and J2) along the bottom of the board may be used
for temporary purposes I.E. bench testing using a four conductor ribbon cable. Do not use for permanent connections.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Page 11

Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT!
Unlike many controls, the M1 features a true RS-485 “differential” data bus operating at 38,400 baud (bits per second). This
is a relatively high speed by industry standards and was designed to ensure fast, accurate communications. As a result of
this high speed, data bus terminating resistors (120 Ohm resistors) are recommended in order to eliminate the possibility of
reflection errors caused by varying cable lengths, especially with multiple home run (star topology) cables.
Every M1 data bus device; keypad, zone, output expander, etc. and the control board has a built-in bus terminating resistor
(120 Ohm). Each terminating resistor is installed (activated) via a 2 pin header/jumper (2 Gold Pins) using a small black
shorting cap. The terminating resistors are marked JP2 on the keypads and JP1 on the expanders. From the factory, no
terminating resistors are installed (activated). The control hardware pack includes two of the small black shorting caps.
When one of the shorting caps is placed on the two gold pins, it installs (activates) the built-in 120 Ohm terminating resistor
across Data Lines A & B.
WARNING! The RS-485 Data Bus must NEVER have more than 2 terminating resistors header/jumpers installed. Reliability
and response will be negatively affected. See diagrams on opposite page.
Ideally, there should be no more than two home run data bus cables, with devices daisy chain connected along the two
cables and a terminating resistor (header/jumper) installed on the last device of each cable. However, if you prefer to home
run everything (3 or more), we highly recommend using 6 or 8 conductor cabling (CAT5 or CAT6 cable is ideal). At each
device, splice data wires A & B to 2 of the extra conductors so they return back to the control as A1 & B1. At the control, splice
the returning data wires A1 & B1 in series to data wires A & B going back out to the next device. Remember to install a
terminating header/jumper on the last wired device. Electrically the data wires are now in one long series circuit. Connect
the POS (+) and Neg (-) power wires of each device directly to the M1’s +VKP and Neg terminals. DO NOT SERIES THE
POWER WIRES as this will cause unnecessary voltage loss.

Setting the Data Bus Address and Enrolling Device(s) into the System
Keypads and expander devices communicate with the M1 over the RS-485 4-wire data bus. Each device must have a unique
address setting (from 1 to 16) within it's device type. Keypads are device TYPE 1, input (zone) expanders TYPE 2, output
expanders TYPE 3, etc. The purpose of device types is so that the address numbers can be re-used in each different device
type. It is OK to have a Keypad, a Zone Expander, and a Output Expander all set to address 2 and on the same data bus since
each device is a different device type. It is NOT OK to have duplications of addresses within the same device type. I.E.
Multiple keypads on the same control cannot be set to 'like' addresses.
ADDRESS: From the factory all keypads are set to address 1. Valid keypad addresses are 1 to 4 for the ELK-M1, or 1 to 16 for
the ELK-M1G. The first keypad on the system (Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional keypad must
be assigned a unique address and then manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. (See M1 Instruction
Manual, Menu 01, for complete instructions on Bus Module Enrollment)
1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays:
Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)
NOTE: This mode may also be accessed by removing power from the keypad (unplugging the data bus cable) and then
applying power while holding any key pressed.
2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.
3. Set the desired address by entering a number from 1 to X.
4. Press the Exit key when done.
ENROLLING:
1. Press the ELK key, then press 9 (or scroll up) to display 9 - Installation Programming. Press the

Section 2 - Operating the System
2.1 Introduction
For best operation during bench testing, all zones should be terminated with end of line resistors and the correct transformer
and battery should be connected to the unit. The control comes with factory default programming, allowing it to be bench
tested prior to installation. The factory default code for user 1 is 3456. This code is authorized to operate all user related
features of the system. The control is designed to accommodate the grouping of specific zones into partitions called areas
and by default, all zones are assigned to area #1. This is the most common mode in which the system operates. This section
of the manual gives an overview of powering up and basic keypad functioning.

2.2 Powering Up (One Keypad)
After all other connections have been made and checked thoroughly, the controls AC transformer and battery may be
connected. The Master Power Switch located on the lower left corner can then be turned on which will complete the AC and
battery connections into the control. Upon power up the control will perform self-diagnostics and auto-enroll the first keypad
(Keypad Address #1). Any additional keypads or expanders must be manually enrolled using Installer Level Programming.
See “Menu 01 - Bus Module Enrollment”.
NOTE: It is very important to make certain that every keypad, input expander, output expander, or any other data bus
device be assigned a unique data bus address within its type. See “MENU 01 - Bus Module Enrollment” for instructions
on setting keypad and expander addresses.

System Startup on Battery Only
Ordinarily, the control will not startup without AC power. However, if AC power is not available (new construction sites, field
testing, etc.) it is possible to start the control on battery ONLY! Locate the two silver pads on the lower left corner of the circuit
board. Take a small blade screwdriver and short these two pads. This will temporarily bypass the AC sensing circuit and
allow the control to startup. The On/Off power switch must be in the On position.

2.3 User Codes and Authorities
The control has 99 user passcodes plus one installer passcode. Each user code may be assigned specific authorities as to
what it is allowed to do. The authorities are assigned from the Installer level programming, however the code numbers and
user name is assigned from the keypad user menu 6 - Change User Codes. Only a Master authority level code or the
Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s Guide contains a description of panel
operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer passcode are slightly different.

The Factory Default Code for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code)
(If the six digit code option is enabled, User Code 1 default will then be: 1 2 3 4 5 6)
The user code may be used for functions in a specific area or system-wide. Some options may be performed at any time,
even while the control is fully or partially armed. The menu system is designed to be next-step-oriented. After a brief
explanation of the options, the user should be able to begin operating the system immediately. For purposes of discussion,
the installer and the end consumer are both considered users, but have different capabilities.

2.4 Installer Program Code and Authorities
The installer code can access all the keypad user menus, including of course menu 9 - Installation Programming. The
Installer code also has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any area and may be used to disarm any area,
so long as that area was armed specifically by the installer code. The Installer code cannot disarm if an area was armed by
any user code. The Installer code may be used to silence 24hr alarms or a Burglary alarm in an area that was armed by the
installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code may also be used to silence a trouble condition in a disarmed
area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.

The Factory Default Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9

2.5 Keypad Overview
Ready Light - This light is ON when all burglar zones are secure and the system is OK for arming. If this light is OFF, one or more zones are
violated (not secure). For maximum security, all zones should be secured before the system is armed.
If FLASHING, one or more force-armable zones are violated. Force arming temporarily excludes violated zone(s) from the system. However, if
a force armed zone becomes secure while the system is armed, it will automatically restore to service. This is handy for a garage door. The
system may be armed with the door up, but once the car is backed out and the door is closed, it will become secured.
Armed Light- This light will be ON when the system is armed. The mode of arm will be indicated by the LCD display and the Exit or Stay
lighted pushbuttons. This light will be OFF when the system is disarmed.
Exit Key - This lighted key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the AWAY (not occupied) mode. If the Exit light is ON the
system is armed and all perimeter sensors and interior motions are active. The Away key may be pressed during the exit delay time t to
convert from Away mode to Away Vacation mode. The Away Vacation mode is primarily for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of Elk-RP to invoke long term energy savings.
Stay Key - This lighted key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the STAY (occupied) mode. If the Stay light is ON the
system is armed and all interior zones are excluded (bypassed). Only perimeter doors and windows are active in the Stay mode. This key
may also be programmed to change to other Stay modes such as: Stay Instant, Stay Night, and Stay Night Instant. Since interior zones are
automatically excluded once the Stay mode is activated, the M1 allows this key to Stay arm even while one or more interior zones are
violated, provided they are programmed for “force arming”. The Stay Night mode re-activates any interior night zones. To prevent a false
alarm the control will not allow change to the Stay Night mode when a interior night zone is violated unless it is programmed for “Force arm”.

Chime Key - Chime produces an audible alert whenever certain doors, windows, or other selected zones are violated. There are four
different selections: Tone only, Voice, Tone/Voice, and Off. In the programming mode this key also functions as an insert character key for
text programming. The key light indicated when Chime is On.
Bypass Key - Pressing this key followed by a zone number and the bypass key again will exclude or bypass the selected zone. This
key may also be used to delete a character during text programming. When the Bypass key is lit, one or more zones are bypassed.
* Key - This key serves as a clear or reset key. If an error is made while entering digits, pressing this key clears the error. Three presses is
a master clear.
# Key - This key is currently a duplicate of the Bypass key.
Numerical Keys - These keys are used for entry of passcodes, programming, etc. Keys 2 - 9 also have an assigned alpha character
which are used for entering text.
Arrow Keys - The menu and arrow keys have powerful functionality used for both normal operation and programming. Pressing the Menu
key displays relative information according to each application. The arrow keys allow scrolling through all available options. The user can
activate or select the displayed option by pressing the right arrow key. Once an option has been selected, the user may be prompted for
a passcode. Additional sub-menu options may appear to assist. The user may return to the status screen by pressing the * key.

Keypad Menus
The control offers extended Menu Options via the center navigation “ELK” key. Some menus
may require a valid code to authorize. The Factory Default Code for USER Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6
(1 2 3 4 5 6 if the six digit code option is enabled)

Access to menus 1 to 5 can be restricted via programming to only Users that have “User Code Option 8” set. Menus 6 & 8
required a Master or Installer Code. Menu 9 requires the Installer Code. Press ELK to begin, then press the UP or DOWN
arrow key to select a menu. Enter a code if prompted. To select a menu press the RIGHT arrow key.

This option is used in conjuction with a house telephone (microphone) to record up to 10
custom voice messages. Each message occupies a 6 second block. Two or more
consecutive blocks may be linked together for longer times. Total record time cannot exceed
60 seconds. These messages require the Elk-RP software, which utilize these messages
together with the built-in 500+ word vocabulary to construct voice phrases for many uses,
including the voice dialer. Press the RIGHT arrow key to begin custom message record.
Selects any one of the custom messages (VM01-VM10) for playback or recording. Press the
UP or DOWN arrow keys to select. To Play the selected message press the RIGHT arrow key.
The message will play through Output 1 speakers. To record a new message press the LEFT
arrow key. To exit press the * key.
This sets the number of consecutive 6 sec. record blocks. The default is 01 blocks which is
normally long enough for most applications. However, to create a longer message press the
RIGHT arrow key and enter the number 01 to 02, etc. NOTE: Creating longer messages
reduces the total number of custom messages. This screen also allows all messages to be
played “PlayAll” by pressing the RIGHT arrow key. When ready to record press the LEFT arrow
key.
This is the prerecord screen. To begin recording: 1) lift the house phone (off hook), 2) press
the LEFT arrow key, 3) start speaking. To stop recording press the “0” key. If stop is not
pressed, recording will automatically end after 6 sec. (or the total number of blocks times 6
seconds).
NOTE: A local house phone is used as the microphone. Installer programming menu 07,
option 1, must be set to a 1 in order for the local phone to be recognized by the control.
This will display as soon as recording has stopped. To play the new message press the
RIGHT arrow key. To record the message again press the LEFT arrow key and follow the
same procedures again. To exit press the * key.

Step by step summary of procedures for recording a custom message:
Verify that a house telephone is connected to the control’s T1 and R1 terminals and that Installer menu 07, option 1
is set to a 1. This allows the control to recognize the telephone and allow it to be used as a microphone.
Go to the user menu 8-System Settings by pressing the ELK key and entering 8. Press the r key and enter a valid
user code. Press 87 to reach the custom message record screen.
Using the Up/Down arrow keys, select the voice message to record VM01 to VM10. There are 10 custom
messages.
Press the l key and select the number of 6 second blocks for your message. Hint-rehearse and time the message,
if it is greater than 6 seconds then increase the number of consecutive blocks as required.
Lift the telephone handset and press the l key to begin the recording. The recording will not start until the handset
is off-hook and the l key is pressed.
Record your message by speaking into the handset. If the message is shorter than the amount of time selected
then press 0 to stop recording. Otherwise, recording will stop when the number of blocks is reached.
Press the Right arrow key to play the message. The message will be heard through the telephone handset if it is
still off-hook. Otherwise the message will be directed to the amplifier connected to output 1.

MAPPING TO A CONSOLIDATED DISPLAY OF ALL AREAS
Pressing the r RIGHT arrow key will map the Keypad to a consolidated ‘snapshot’
display of all areas which the user code was authorized to operate. This display permits
quick arming and disarming only. If a area is not ready to arm it will be necessary to map
individually (see steps above) to that area to view the violated zone(s) and either secure or
bypass them prior to arming.

be displaying “r”, however the letter will immediately change to “n” and the keypad will emit
an error tone when an attempt is made to arm by pressing the area number.
NOTE: This is a new feature which became available with firmware release version 4.2.5. The
firmware may be flash upgraded in older controls to add this capability.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Section 3 - Programming The Control
3.1 Introduction
The Security functionality of the M1 Control can be programmed either from an ELK-M1KP LCD Keypad OR from the ELK-RP
PC Software. The keypad features a menu-driven “Text” based interface with simple Yes/No answers for most options. After
just a short amount of experience the average installer will not even require an instruction manual to keypad program the
control.
For the Automation functionality the ELK-RP PC Software is a requirement. The options and capabilities available for
automation are so unique and powerful that it takes a PC to make use of all the benefits. The M1 features a powerful
“Whenever/And/Then” RULES based programming that allows almost any imaginable operation.

3.2 Local Keypad Programming
There are two levels of operation for programming the control locally, user level and installer level.
- User level programming provides the ability to add, change, or delete user passcodes and names. It also allows custom
automation settings to be viewed and changed. A master user code is required to access the user code and custom settings
screens. User programming is explained in the User’s Guide.
- Installer level programming allows total customizing of the Security operating features. Only the installer code may access
this level. If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it is impossible to program the control locally. Anyone attempting installer
level programming should be familiar with the contents of this publication prior to programming the control panel. If remote
programming is used, it is possible to “lock out” or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company by selecting
“Lockout Local Prog.” This prevents the installer passcode from gaining access to programming via an LCD keypad. The
installer passcode may still be used for the non-programming functions described in Chapter 2. Lockout Local Prog does not
affect remote programming.

3.3 Local or Remote Computer Programming (ELK-RP) and Anti-Takeover
ELK-RP programming utilizes extensive error checking and security safeguards, including data encryption, password log-on,
serial number, and dealer assigned RP access code. The serial # identifies the control to RP while the RP access code
identifies the computer to the control prior to a programming session. RP loads the access code during the first connection. It
cannot be viewed or changed from local keypad programming. In addition to these safeguards, you can set an anti-takeover
option from RP which prevents certain keypad programming. Even a total default of the panel programming cannot reset the
anti-takeover option once it is set..

3.4 Area Partitioning
The control may be divided into 1 to 8 independent areas (partitions). Each area appears as a full-featured system, allowing
one control to be shared by multiple, independent departments within a common structure. Zones, User Codes, and
Keypads may be assigned to any 1 area up to the maximum number available. An example is a single business divided into
separate departments, each department occupied by different employees. Mount the control in a secure area (common utility
closet) with dedicated and uninterrupted AC power and telephone service. Then assign zones, codes, and keypads to each
department.
Output 1 siren/voice activates on all alarms, regardless of the area. The RP Software Rules can be used create additional
(separate) outputs. When reporting to the central station events like AC Power Failure, Automatic tests, Low Battery, etc., are
considered system reports and are transmitted using the Area 1 account number. If area partitioning is not desired, simply
designate all zones to a single area (Area 1) which is the factory default setting for zones 1-16.
COMMON AREA - Another popular feature is the ability to have one or more areas made “common” to Area 1. This is often
referred to as a “Vestibule Feature”. Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot be
armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any common area becomes disarmed. This
is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or more businesses. Each business must have their own area keypad.
NOTE: If you want Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a Whenever/And/Then rule
from the RP software to do this.

3.5 Communicator Setup Checklist
The Communicator (Dialer) in the M1 can dial up to 4 telephone numbers in addition to the RP computer. The more powerful
M1G can dial up to 8 phone numbers plus RP. Digital reporting formats include: Pulse 4+2, SIA, Contact ID, and Pager. There
is also a Voice format which can be commanded from the RP Rules Programming to call a business, home, or cellphone and
deliver a voice message. Use the following checklist for each required telephone number.

Press RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. Press UP or DOWN arrow keys to select
another menu. The ELK key backs up one menu level. To exit press the * or Exit key.

NOTE: Every data bus device: Keypad, Input (Zone) Expander, Output Expander, etc. MUST have a unique
address within its type. This menu is then used to enroll the device into the system. SEE DETAILS BELOW:

Bus Module Enroll

Description of Option

Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu and automatically start the bus enrollment
process. ALL data bus devices which are presently connected to the data bus should
become enrolled.

The enrollment process only takes a few seconds. Once complete, this summary screen
will appear displaying the total number of bus modules that were found and enrolled. To
edit and/or view the devices individually, press the RIGHT arrow key one time.

Each enrolled keypad/device can be viewed one by one. The first device will always be
Keypad 1 with a T1 (for type 1) and Addr=01 (for address 01). As explained below,
different kinds of devices can be identified by their device “Type”. Pressing the Up or Down
arrow keys will scroll through each enrolled device.
If a device is removed from the data bus, it should be removed by repeating the enrollment
process. The control will only enroll the devices that are connected. It will remove any
previously enrolled devices that it does not see.
After the last device is reviewed, the next press of the Up arrow key moves to the “End
Enrollment” screen which once again displays the total number of devices enrolled.

DATA BUS DEVICE TYPES AND ADDRESSES: Each data bus device is a specific “Device Type”. Keypads are TYPE
1, Input (Zone) Expanders are TYPE 2, Output Expanders are TYPE 3, Serial Port Expanders are TYPE 5. Any new
devices designed will be assigned a Device Type. Every data bus device MUST have a unique “Address” setting within
its type. Valid Input Expanders addresses are 2 to 13, Output Expander addresses are 1 to 13. The address determines
the starting and ending zone or output numbers for that expander. See chart below:
Addr Input Exp
1 = N/A (main bd)

INPUT AND OUTPUT EXPANDER ADDRESSES: Locate the bank of four white (DIP) switches along the top edge of the
board. Each switch has a position of Off or On (0 or 1) and a binary value (1, 2, 4, 8). The addition of the binary values
(sum total) for the switches set to the On position determines the data bus address. For example: Data bus address 5
is set by placing switches 1 and 4 to the On position (1 + 4 = 5). All other switches must be in the down or Off position.
KEYPAD ADDRESSES: All keypads are factory set to address 1. Valid addresses are 1 to 4 for the ELK-M1, or 1 to 16
for the ELK-M1G. The first keypad on the system (Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional
keypad must be assigned a unique address and then manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. To set
the address on a keypad do the following:
1. Hold down a key while applying power OR press and hold the (Asterisk) “ * ” and F5 keys for 5 seconds.
2. Press the F1 key, then use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to set the desired address number.
3. Press the EXIT key when done.
NOTE: If a device is removed from the data bus, it should be un-enrolled to prevent a trouble. To replace a
defective device, set the address to the same value as the old unit and initiate the Bus Enrollment process.

AUTO ARMING: The control has an Auto Arming feature which may be setup using the “Whenever/And/Then Rules” in
the ELK-RP PC Programming Software. Basically, a rule must be written to initiate the auto arm sequence at a specific
time and/or date occurrence along with a programmable pre-warning time period. At the end of the pre-warn time, the
system will automatically arm to the AWAY mode, bypassing any violated Burglar zones. All area keypad(s) will beep
and display a warning when the initiating time occurs. Pressing the * key clears this warning for 1 minute. The auto arm
time may be extended in 10 minute increments by pressing the RIGHT arrow key. No further warnings will occur until 10
minutes prior to the newly “extended” auto arm time. Example 1: If a scheduled AutoArm is set for 06:00pm with a prewarn time of 20 minutes, the warning will start at 6:00pm and the auto arm will occur at 6:20pm. Pressing the RIGHT
arrow key to extend the time will cause the new auto arm time to be 6:30pm.

Keypad F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 keys Each keypad has 6 lighted function keys that may be programmed to activate
specific operations. There are 7 programming attributes for each key: 1) KeyEvent - A four digit event code for the zone
definitions 0001 thru 0035, or the automation tasks 2001 - 2032. 2) KeyLight - A four digit event code which lights the
key when the event is active. This can be any of the Appendix A Event Codes. 3) Light Invert - A Yes/No option which
allows the light to be opposite of the event, off when active, on when not. 4) Light Blink - A Yes/No option which allows
the light to blink when active. 5) Key Requires PIN - A Yes/No option used to prevent the key from activating unless a
valid user code is entered. 6) Single Key Press - A Yes/No option which allows a single press of the key instead of the
normal double press to activate the event. NOTE: In the double press mode the key’s name is displayed on the LCD
screen as soon as the first press occurs. This serves to visually verify to the user that the correct key has been
selected prior to the second “activating” key press. 7) Key Name - A sixteen character programmable description that
describes the key’s function. I.E. Police Alarm, Garage Door, etc.

Disabled - Used to remove any unused zone(s). No need to put a jumper or resistor across the terminals.
Burglar Entry/Exit 1 - For perimeter entry/exit doors. Allows a time delay to enter and exit during arm and disarm.
Burglar Entry/Exit 2 - For perimeter entry/exit doors that require more time delay during arm and disarm.
Burglar Perimeter Instant - Windows and perimeter openings. Activates an immediate Burglary alarm if tripped
during ANY armed mode. Does not provide any exit or entry delay.
04 Burglar Interior - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. Creates an instant alarm if tripped during the AWAY arm
mode. This zone type IS NOT ACTIVE during the STAY, STAY INSTANT, NITE, and NITE INSTANT arm modes.
05 Burglar Interior Follower - For motions detectors, interior doors, etc. which may be in the keypad or entry pathway.
If an entry delay zone is violated first, this zone will delay (Follow) also, otherwise it will create an instant alarm.
This zone type IS NOT ACTIVE during the STAY, STAY INSTANT, NITE, and NITE INSTANT arm modes.
06 Burglar Interior Nite - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. which are not close to sleeping areas. The primary
use of this zone type is for increased security when the user is home. Interior Nite zones ARE ACTIVE during the
NITE and NITE INSTANT arm modes as well as the AWAY arm mode and will create an instant alarm if tripped.
This zone type is NOT ACTIVE during the STAY or STAY INSTANT arm modes.
07 Burglar Interior Nite Delay - For motion detectors, interior doors, etc. that are not close to sleeping areas. Same
as an Interior Nite zone except that Interior Nite Delay zones will delay for the entry/exit delay 1 time period. Interior
Nite zones ARE ACTIVE during the NITE and NITE INSTANT arm modes providing increased security when the
user is home and in bed. However, if the user accidentally wanders into a Nite Delay zone the entry delay timer
will start and the tone will sound, warning the user to disarm before a false alarm occurs.
NOTE: If “Auto Stay,No Exit” is set to YES (see Area Definitions) and the system is armed in the Away
mode, all interior zones will be bypassed if no exit is detected from the premises during the exit delay time.

“Type” refers to the wiring configuration for zones. For Burglar and Keyswitch zones the
valid types are: 0=EOL Supervised, 1=Normally Closed, 2=Normally Open, 3=EOL
Security (Day) Alert on Open, or 4=EOL Security (Day) Alert on Short. For ALL other nonfire zones the types may be 0, 1 or 2 only. Fire zone valid types are: 5=EOL Supervised 4wire detectors, 6=EOL Supervised 2-wire detectors (zone 16 ONLY!)

Wiring Configuration

Operating Description

EOL Supervised, 2,200 Ohm resistor (Zones 1 - 16 are defaulted to Hwd 0)
Normally Closed only. No resistor required.
Normally Open only. No resistor required.
EOL Supervised with Security (Day) Alert on Open. (Burglar & Keyswitch Zones Only) If zone wiring is OPENED
while the control is disarmed the Keypad will beep and display the zone name. Ideal for gun cabinets, exit doors,
etc. Press the Star key to silence beep. User code is required to acknowledge/reset the alert. A regular alarm is
created if the control is armed. Requires the Whenever/And/Then rules from RP software for additional output.
EOL Supervised with Security Day Alert on Short. (Burglar & Keyswitch Zones Only) Same as type 3 except the
zone wiring must be SHORTED while the control is disarmed to create the alert. Pressing the Star key silences. A
User code is required to acknowledge/reset the alert. A regular alarm is created if the control is armed. Requires
the Whenever/And/Then rules from RP software for additional output.
Fire, 4-Wire Smoke Detector with 2,200 Ohm EOL resistor. Trouble on open, alarm on short. (Zones 1 to 16).
Fire, 2-wire Smoke Detector with 680 Ohm EOL resistor. (ZONE 16 ONLY)

Enter the area (partition) number that this zone is to be assigned to. A zone can only
reside in one area and fire zones can only reside in Area 1.

A zone programmed ‘Yes’ for Silent Alarm will not cause any audible alarm event from a
programmable output OR from any keypad. However, a visual display will occur on the
keypad(s) which are assigned to the same area as the zone.

Description of Option
Dialer delay is designed to reduce false alarm dispatches. Upon an alarm from a zone
with this option the communicator delays dialing for the “Dialer Delay” time programmed in
Menu 09-Area Reporting Codes. If a valid code is entered before this delay expires, the
report will ABORT (no report). If an ‘Alarm Abort” code is programmed, (see Menu 09), the
communicator will transmit this in place of the alarm. NOTE: The Dialer Delay Time will
only start once per alarm, regardless of additional zone trips. Default setting is No.
Allows zone to trigger a listen-in session after alarm is reported. Control will hold the line
for 60 seconds after ‘kiss-off’, allowing Central Station to enter *55* to activate listen-in.
The Central Station can renew or terminate listen-in remotely. NOTE: Two-Way must be
enabled (Menu 07-Globals) and an interface (ELK-M1TWI) with one or more microphone/
speakers (ELK-M1TWS) must be installed. Default setting is No.
A Yes allows zone to be manually bypassed. A bypassed zone will be ignored by the
system. Burglar zone bypasses are canceled upon a disarm. To bypass a zone: Press
the Bypass key + [zone number] + the Bypass key once again. Default setting is Yes.
Force Arm allows a violated zone to be temporarily bypassed upon arming. Prior to arm,
the READY light blinks if force arm zone(s) are the only zones violated. Force arm
requires two entries of a user code. Quick arm cannot be used for force arming. Upon
the first code entry the keypad will display READY FORCE. The second code entry will
force arm. Force armed zone(s) automatically return to service if they become normal
while armed. CAUTION! Force arm operates in a unique way on entry/exit zones! Entry/Exit zones that are also force armable can be violated during the exit delay and still
become force armed. This allows a user to arm, open a garage door, back out, and then
shut the door at their leisure, without creating a false alarm and without a long exit delay
time. As soon as the garage door is closed, it will automatically return to service. Default
setting is No. NOTE: For UL installations Force Arm shall be disabled.
Swinger Shutdown prevents a runaway communicator by shunting a zone after two trips.
It cannot send another alarm until the control is reset OR a 48 hour time period elapse.
Default setting is No. NOTE: For UL installations this feature shall be disabled.
This type zone must be tripped at least once per disarm cycle*. This prevents blocked
PIRs or seldom used doors from being left not secure. Keypad will display “Not Ready” if
a periodic zone has not been tripped. * NOTE: A periodic trip will not be required for a
disarm period of 1 hour or less. Default setting is No.

Response is the time the zone must be violated before the system detects it. If No, the
zone responds to the Slow response time. The time values are in milliseconds and they
are programmed in the Menu 07 Global Sys. Definitions menu. Default setting is No.

Each zone may be selected to be included in the Chime annunciation whenever Chime
Mode is turned on from the keypad. Most zone types may be included via this option.
Default setting is No.

Common To Area1

Description of Option
Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot
be armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any
common area becomes disarmed. This is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or
more businesses. Each business must have their own area keypad. NOTE: If you want
Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a
Whenever/And/Then rule from the RP software to do this.

Changes the Burglar Yelp sound on outputs 1 & 2 to a pulsing Buzzer sound. NOTE:
Out1 is designed for 8 Ohm - 20 watt min. speakers (up to 4 max) and has
adjustable volume settings. Default is No.

Options G15 thru G18 set the start and final volume levels for alarms and non alarms.
G15 sets the initial siren/bell volume of Output 1 upon initial alarm activation. The range of
settings is selectable from 0 to 7 (0 = lowest, 7 = loudest).

Sets the maximum siren/bell volume of Output 1. The sound starts at the initial setting
and increases (volume step) every 10 seconds until the max. is reached. Volume
stepping reduces noise and confusion with user caused false alarms. Default is 7.

Description of Option
Allows Output 2 to be converted from a siren driver into a voltage only output. If set to
“No” the control produces alarm sounds for use with 8 Ohm speakers. If set to “Yes” the
control will produce +12 Volts for use with self-contained sirens or bells. Default is No.
Ordinarily, Outputs 1 & 2 activate immediately on alarms. However, Output 2 can be time
delayed up to 255 seconds. Using Output 1 strictly for interior sounders and Output 2 for
outside sounders, a false alarm will be heard inside first, giving the user time to disarm
before any outside sounders are activated. A “good neighbor” feature. Default is 000.

Output 2 can be set to alarm only once per armed cycle for burglary type alarms. This
feature is intended for noise abatement. The dialer will continue to transmit all alarms that
may occur. THIS ONLY LOCKS OUT AUDIBLE FROM OUTPUT 2.

The control must be set to auto answer an incoming call in order for Telephone Remote

Fail Communicate

Exit Error Code can be used to identify an accidental alarm caused by an error while
arming. Locally, it works as follows: If an exit delay rolls directly into entry delay as a
result of a zone being left violated, the entry delay warning AND the siren will sound. If the
control is not disarmed prior to the entry delay expiring, the communicator will report the
alarm along with the Exit Error code. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
Fail to communicate displays on the keypad and the event log when the communicator
fails to complete it’s report using the number of dial attempts. A good communications
report must occur in order to reset/clear the failure. If this fail to communicate report code
is enabled, it will be reported with next good communications to indicate a “past” failure.
Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).

Based on the event, the CID (Contact ID) or SIA Codes for Area Reporting Codes will be:

Description
The Wireless Definitions menu is broken into four parts: 1:Receiver Options, 2:Xmitter

press the right arrow key. To move to Transmitter Options, Xmitter Enroll, or Keyfob

R01: Receiver Size. Identifies the size of the connected Receiver so the appropriate
number of zones may be reserved. For the NX408E 8 zone receiver enter a 0, for a
NX416E 16 zone receiver enter a 1, for a NX448E 48 zone receiver enter a 2. The M1
will know these zones are wireless, starting from the ZnBank setting in the next option.
R02:ZnBank Starting Zone. Identifies where the first wireless zone begins. Using the
receiver size setting and this starting number, the M1 blocks out the required number of
zones. If another zone expander (hardwired) is encountered that results in a duplicate
zone, the M1 will error tone and return to a 00 setting. To resolve the conflict: move the
starting zone to another setting, move the conflicting zone expander to another address,
or reduce the receiver size setting. Valid starting zones must be increments of 16:
04=(Zone 33) 06=(Zone 49) 08=(Zone 65) 10=(Zone 81)
14=(Zone 113) 16=(Zone 129) 18=(Zone 145) 20=(Zone 161) 22=(Zone 177)
Example: Entering a value of 2 for receiver size and 02 for starting zone would block out
48 zones from 17 thru 64 as wireless. NOTE: If an 8 zone receiver is installed, the upper
8 zones are not available (wasted) as far as the control is concerned. Receivers with
multiples of 16 zones (NX416E and NX448E) are therefore better economic choices.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Section 4 - PC Programming and Automation Capabilities
4.1 ELK-RP Software
ELK-RP (RP) is a Windows based software package that is compatible with Windows 95
and later. It features an extremely intuitive user interface and contains all data in a central
database. RP can be run on a single PC or over a local area network (LAN) with multiple
operators. In addition to the traditional security programming features, RP allows you to
create and manage the automation functionality in the M1 control. The following information is a brief overview including
illustrations of the various screens. Please refer to RP’s on-line help file for specific operation details.

4.1.1

RP Connection Methods

There are 3 methods for the RP software to connect with the M1 control. Regardless of the method, the control’s serial
number and RP access code MUST match in order for the connection to be successful. The connection methods are:
1. Direct using Com_ (PC Com port) - Requires a 9 pin
serial cable from the PC’s RS-232 Com port to the
M1’s on-board 9 pin serial port. Data transfer is
115,200 baud. NOTE: If your computer only has a
USB port, an approved converter (USB to RS-232) is
available from Radio Shack and from ELK (ELKUSB232).
2. Dial-up using Modem and phone line - RP is
compatible with virtually all computer modems, even 56k modems. This is due to the M1’s built-in V.22 bis “True” modem,
which handles data transfer at 2,400 baud. The 6 dial-up options are:
Fully Automatic - RP dials the control phone number and listens for the control to answer on it’s “rings until answer” setting.
If an answering machine answers, RP will transmit codes to override it automatically.
Prompt when answer - RP dials and listens for the control to answer. It waits for a manual OK before connecting.
Dial, hang up, dial again - This is faster than waiting on the control’s “rings until answer” setting. It is also useful for
reaching premises that have telephone company answer/forward services. The M1 must be enabled for this option. After
dialing, RP leaves the PC speaker on, and prompts you to click “Hang-up” after you hear two rings. It then forces a time
delay before allowing you to click OK to start the second dial. As long as the control properly detects the first two rings
and subsequent hang-up, it will wait up to 45 seconds for a second call and answer that call on the first ring.
Customer will force answer - Similar to method 1 except the User must enter keypad menu 8, option 5, item 1 to force the
control to answer. This is necessary if the “rings until answer” or “dial/hang-up/dial” options are not programmed.
Telephone connection already established - If a voice connection is already established using the control’s phone line and
the PC’s phone line, this method can be used to take over the connection and initiate an immediate connection.
Local connection via house telephone line - Convenient way to connect locally from virtually any house phone jack that is on
the same phone line as the one attached to the control. Connect the PC modem to the phone wall jack, click on Local
Connection, and RP will pick up the line and enter the access codes required to connect with the control.
3. Network - With an optional ELK-M1XEP Ethernet Port module you can connect over a Local or Wide Area Network. (Contact
ELK for details)

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

4.1.2

Check for Conflicts

During the connect and disconnect process RP performs an automatic check of the data stored in the control and compares it
the database. If there are any conflicts (differences), a pop-up resolution window display them and allows corrections to be
made. ELK regards “Check for Conflicts” to be an especially important feature. It can point out any changes that have
occurred such as a user having added or changed a code. The resolution window allows you to receive the control’s data into
the database (accept the local version) or send the RP data to the control (accept the database version). NOTE: Checking for
conflicts adds considerable time to the connect/disconnect process, especially on dial-up connections. For this reason,
the automatic check for conflicts may be disabled from the SETUP menu. A manual Check for Conflicts can be selected
from the Send/Rcv icon.

4.1.3

Sending and Receiving Data

RP allows many options and groups of options to be sent or received individually, which greatly reduces the on-line connect
time if there are only a few items to be changed. However, a full send or receive occurs very quickly, thanks to the M1’s built-in
V.22 bis “True” Modem. RP features easy to use menus & toolbar icons and makes extensive use of the right mouse button
to perform operations. Try right clicking on any item or icon to see the available options.

4.2 Update/Verify Firmware in the Control and Peripherals
The M1 stores it’s operating firmware in “Flash” memory. This state-of-the-art memory allows electronic field updates to the
control and its peripherals, and eliminates the old fashion method of changing IC chips or shipping boards back to the factory.
As new firmware updates become available, they will be posted on ELK’s website [www.elkproducts.com] in a password
restricted “M1 Dealers ONLY” location. NOTE: Firmware updating can only be done from a Direct to PC Com port
connection or an optional Ethernet Network connection. Due to the amount of data that has to be transferred, Dial-up
connections cannot be used to perform firmware updates.
How to Update Firmware:
1. Connect a 9 pin serial cable from the Computer’s Serial Port to the 9 Pin RS232 Connector on the M1.
2. Start RP and open the account belonging to that particular M1 control. Click on the Connection menu icon and
establish a connection using the Direct using Com_ option.
3. Click on Update/Verify Firmware from the Send/Rcv menu icon.
4. On the Update/Verify screen, select the device to be updated (Control, Keypad, etc.) along with the “Update to new
firmware” option. Then click Continue.
5. The Update Firmware screen displays the device name, the current Firmware, Hardware, and Bootware version, and
a pull down window for selecting the firmware version to use on the update. Always select the latest firmware version
(highest number). Be sure to save all update (.bin) files that are downloaded or received via CDROM into the
~Program Files\ElkRP\Updates directory on your computer. This is where RP looks for all update files.
6. Click on the check box for “Update”. If “Reprogram” or “Rollback” is displayed the firmware file is the same as OR
older that what is in the control. Reprogramming with the same firmware is a waste of time but was included for
factory testing purposes. Rollback is not recommended except under the guidance of Elk Technical Support.
NOTE: The option for “Verify existing firmware” on the Update/Verify screen is normally not required except for
factory diagnostics. If the control has multiple keypads, expanders, etc., RP will display the details about each
one onscreen with a check box for selecting units for updating.

voltage), thermostats, temperature sensors, and all the security inputs and features to integrate functions that add value and
appeal to the owner/user. Lights can be set to turn on and off in response to a time or day, a certain sensor, or according to
the arm/disarm status of the security control. Outputs can be set to control door strikes, irrigation sprinklers, circulating
pumps valves, etc.
The power behind the automation features is the unique RULES Engine. Rules are expressions of what you would like to
happen at a given time or in response to a set of circumstances. The following information is intended to provide an overview
of the vast automation features in the M1. NOTE: The quantities and capabilities of the automation and rules programming
will vary based on the model of M1 that is being programmed. For example: The standard M1 supports 100 rules and
limited lighting options while the M1G (Gold edition) supports 528 rules and extensive lighting options and capabilities.
Some examples in this section may not be available with the standard M1.

TASKS - A Task is similar to a computer macro, in that a single activation can result in multiple actions or events. The
actions and triggering of a Task must be written or developed in a Whenever/And/Then Rule. The purpose of the task
screen is to assign each task its own 16 character description, 6 word voice phrase, and the ability to “Show” on the keypad or
the telephone remote control menu. Up to 32 Tasks can be programmed. Examples are “Water the Lawn” which could be
used to turn on a series of outputs or relays to control underground water valves for a certain time duration. “Welcome
Home” could be task used to control a series of lights at a given time or day or in response to someone disarming the
security system. The following shows several tasks and the voice description word listing.

LIGHTING - The M1 can control up to 256 Light (or appliance) devices. Each is assigned to one of 256 addresses. Each
devices is displayed in columnar format with the following options and settings: Name - Each device can be given a 16
character name (description) which is displayed on the keypad when the light is being controlled. Format - This pull down
box selects the protocol of the device. Depending on the M1 model you have, the available Lighting formats are: Standard,
Extended, Preset dim, Compose, Serial Port. The Serial port format is for UPB, ALC, Centralite, others through an ELKM1XSP Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Expander Interface. Type - This pull down box selects the whether the device is a: On/Off
Switch, Dimmer, or Appliance. Show - If this box is checked the device will appear “show” on the keypad and telephone
remote as you scroll through the automation control menus. 2-way - This checkbox is used to record whether the device is
capable of replying back to commands. Voice Description - Click on this box to pop up a window for programming a custom
6 word voice phrase. The voice is used primarily during a telephone remote session. NOTE: Additional lighting formats are
in development, including the new Z-Wave wireless devices. Even if a lighting product is not directly supported, it is
always possible to use RS-232 ASCII strings for communicating lighting control.

OUTPUTS - These can be in the form of voltage only, relays, or a combination of the two. Depending on the M1 model, up to
208 outputs may be controlled. The first 32 outputs have a 16 character description, 6 word voice phrase, and the “Show” on
keypad or telephone remote option. However, any output may be controlled from the keypad or telephone remote by entering
its number. Outputs can be used to actuate door locks, motors, fan, pumps, etc.

SUNRISE/SUNSET - Sunrise and sunset can be used to control lighting and other entities. This section is the setup for the
M1’s built-in Astronomical clock, which is capable of calculating sunrise and sunset times automatically. The inputs
necessary to setup the M1 for sunrise/sunset are latitude, longitude, and the time zone value where the M1 is installed.
Latitude/longitude information can often be found printed on city or state highway maps, or it can be researched on the
internet. After entering the required information, click calculate and then send to the M1.

NOTE: The Time
Zone automatically
assumes “standard
time”. Therefore, the
calculated times will
reflect standard time.
If the control is set for
“Observe Daylight
Savings Time” the
sunrise/sunset times
will be adjusted by the
control accordingly.

VOICE - This section is used to setup and customize many of the 6 word phrases that can be spoken by the control during a
certain event or when commanded by an automation rule. The capabilities of this section are quite powerful. The library
contains over 500+ words in addition to specialized speech commands for inserting conditions, current time, status/state,
time delays, and even an 800hz tone. In addition, any of the 10 custom recordable messages can be included when building
these 6 word phrases.

CUSTOM SETTINGS - These are 20 memory locations which may be assigned a 12 character description, a function type
(one of 3), and a starting value. An authorized user can then access the custom settings from keypad user menu 7Automation Custom Settings, and modify the value whether it be a numeric value, a timer (seconds), or a time-of-day.
Incorporating custom settings in rules provides the user the ability to modify how the rule will operate. For instance, the user
can modify the time or duration for the lawn sprinklers which have been programmed to turn on automatically. The function
types include: A 5 digit raw number with a range of 00000 to 65,535, a 5 digit timer (seconds) with a range of 00000 to 65,535
seconds, or a Time (time of day) which is formatted as 00:00 with a range of 00:00 to 23:59.

COUNTERS - These memory locations (often called flags) can be set, incremented, decremented, or compared by an
automation rule to track an event or keep up with how many times an event has occurred. There are a total of 64 counters.
Each can be programmed with a 12 character description, making it easy to reference in an automation rule.

THERMOSTATS - HVAC Thermostats may be read and/or controlled by the M1 and its automation rules engine. This menu
allows each thermostat to be assigned a 12 character description for easy reference in an automation rule. The M1 is
currently compatible with the following communicating thermostats: RCS, Aprilaire, and HAI. Due to the various data
protocols, a Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Interface Expander (ELK-M1XSP) is needed to couple the M1 data bus to HVAC
thermostats. Depending on the brand of thermostat, its wiring interface (RS-232 or RS-485), and the model of M1 that you are
installing, up to 16 HVAC thermostats can be controlled. Many communicating thermostats operate stand-alone when they
are not being remotely commanded by an automation controller.

TEXTS - This section allows custom text messages to be constructed and formatted. These messages can be transmitted to
an LCD keypad or out one of the RS232 serial ports to a PC or some other type of equipment. I.E. Touchscreen, Lighting
centers, etc. A message to the keypad could be “Happy Birthday” or “Please Pay Your Bill”, while a message going out a serial
port might be a series of ASCII characters formatted to a certain manufacturers protocol. Special options built into this menu
include: automatic display of temperature readings from Zone Temperature Sensors (ELK-M1ZTS) and from the temperature
sensor built into an LCD Keypad. The sending or receiving of text messages is controlled by the automation rules engine.
NOTE: Text messages share the same memory space as rules. The total number of text messages and rules is limited
by the M1 model that you are installing.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

RULES - This section essentially brings all the power of the M1’s automation and its features together. Rules consist of three
major elements: A WHENEVER (“triggering”) condition, one or more ANDs (“qualifiers”), and one or more THENs
(“activations”). Rules utilize the various elements of the previously described sections in addition to the many control
conditions (arm, disarm, alarms, etc.), plus many of the event codes listed in Appendix A. For example: A rule might be
triggered by a Task to activate a specific light and output, but only if the control is armed in a specific mode.

WHENEVER - The first element of a rule and the starting point of every rule is a triggering event. Every rule must have a
triggering event in order to be started. A triggering event can be a time of day occurrence, a zone opening or closing, the
security system going from armed to disarmed, a light changing from on to off, or literally hundreds of other events.
Below are some examples of WHENEVER elements:
Example 1 = WHENEVER THE TIME IS 08:00AM
Example 2 = WHENEVER Living Rm Light [6 (A6)] IS TURNED ON

An important point to remember is that a WHENEVER gets triggered by the transition of its event from one state to
another. In example 1, the trigger occurs when the time of day goes from 07:59AM to 08:00AM. In example 2, the trigger
occurs when the living room light goes from off to on. Some WHENEVER elements may even include the word
“BECOMES”, which clearly implies that the event has to change from its current condition and “become” the alternate
condition. Just remember, a rule can only be triggered by the transition of an event from one condition to another.

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Page 55

AND - The second and optional element of a rule is a qualifier. Rules can have one or more qualifiers OR none at all. Even
though qualifiers are not required, they are ideal for filtering out actions that should not occur under certain
circumstances. A qualifier can be a time, day(s), the state of light or dark, the state of a zone, output, or light, and
hundreds of other variables. The state of light or dark can be determined by the Sunrise/Sunset settings from the M1’s
Astronomical Clock. Below are some examples of AND (qualifiers):
Example 3 = AND Front Door (Zn 1) IS NOT SECURE
Example 4 = AND THE DAY(S) OF THE WEEK IS/ARE -M-W-FExample 5 = AND IT IS DARK OUTSIDE
Example 6 = AND John’s House (Area 1) IS ARMED AWAY

THEN - The third and final element of a rule is the action that you wish to occur as a result of the Rule being triggered and
all the qualifiers being true. Below are some examples of THEN actions:
Example 7 = THEN TURN Air Cond (Out 9) OFF
Example 8 = THEN TURN Living Rm Light [6 A6)] OFF
Example 9 = THEN SET Main Floor (Tstat 1) OFF
Example 10 = THEN TURN All Lights On

Here is an example of a rule used to turn off the air condition anytime the front door is left open by the kids. It consists of a 30
second timer for the WHENEVER trigger an AND to test the door’s open/closed state, and a THEN to turn off the output that
controls the air condition.
WHENEVER EVERY 30 SECONDS
AND Front Door (Zn 1) IS NOT SECURE
THEN TURN Air Cond (Out 9) OFF

Page 56

M1 Installation and Programming Manual

Examples of Rules - Shown below are a series of rules that should help illustrate the power and results that rules can
provide. Look closely at the ones that have multiple ANDs and THENs. Rules with Multiple ANDs and THENS work as
follows: When the WHENEVER element is triggered, each one of the AND elements is evaluated to determine if the condition
its testing is true. If any one of the ANDs are not true, the rule engine stops executing the rule immediately. However, if all
ANDs are true then the rule engine moves on to the THEN elements, executing each one of them.

Rule 1 is an energy saving example. It automatically turns off the Porch lights at 8:00AM everyday if it is light outside.
Rule 2 is a courtesy light example. It will turn on the Porch light for 5 minutes when the Front door opens (exiting the building)
provided it is dark outside and the control has been armed to the away mode.
Rule 3 is a comfort example. It periodically (every 20 seconds) checks the temperature reading of the Outdoor Temp sensor
and turns on the Porch Fan if the temperature becomes greater than 90 degrees. NOTE: An additional AND element
could be added to prevent the fan from operating on certain days or at certain times.
Rule 4 is another energy savings example. It adjusts the cooling setpoint of the Main Floor Thermostat to 85 degrees
whenever the control is armed to the away mode.
Rule 5 is especially great for a homeowner arriving home after dark. If they are equipped with an RF (wireless) Keyfob and
they press button #3, the rule will turn on the outside Flood lights and Porch lights for 5 minutes, provided it is dark
outside and the Flood lights are not already on. If the Floodlights were already on the rule would stop. This prevents
the lights from going off after 5 minutes if you intentionally had already turned them on manually.
Rule 6 shows how an ASCII string coming in from the serial port (port 0) could be used to unlock a door strike for 10 seconds
and announce “Access Allowed”. This string could come from Access Control system.

In this last example, three rules are used to chirp the outside
siren based on the input of a RF Keyfob to arm the control.
Rule 8 makes the siren chirp once if the control successfully
arms when the user presses button 1.
Rule 9 makes the siren chirp twice if the control disarms when
the user presses button 2
Rule 10 makes the siren chirp four times (error tone) if the
control fails to arm when the user presses button 1.

Appendix A - Event Codes
Event Codes are four digit numbers used to represent alarms, troubles, arm/disarms, restores, and various other conditions that occur within the control. For the
most part, they are used only internally by the control’s software. For example: turning on the alarm output. However, there are cases where the installer may need
these codes. Case #1 - Keypad F key programming. Each of the Keypad F keys may be programmed to activate a particular condition such as Emergency Panic
Alarm. See Menu 04 - Keypad Definitions. The activation event code can be any of the zone definition codes. The F1 key may also be programmed to light up or
“illuminate” when a condition is active. The F1 key can illuminate when the Emergency Panic Alarm is active by programming the four digit event code 1011 =
Emergency Alarm. Case #2 - Event History log. Each of the 512 entries in the event history log is represented by one of these 4 digits event codes, along with the
time, date, area, and/or user code. It may be necessary or helpful to have these codes handy to fully interpret the log.

Appendix B - Telephone Remote Control
There are two methods of entry:
1. Local – Lift house phone off-hook. Enter ***.

(To hear over the inside speakers press * 0 * instead.)

Once the control hears the pickup sequence it will go offhook and announce a welcome message. It will then
prompt the user to enter a valid user passcode.
If the User Code is validated the control will announce the main menu selections. These selections are shown
below along with the sub menu items for each level.
Main Menu Example: FOR ARM STATUS PRESS 1, FOR AUTOMATION CONTROL PRESS 2, FOR TROUBLE STATUS
PRESS 3, FOR ZONE STATUS PRESS 4, FOR AUDIO MONITOR PRESS 7, TO EXIT AND HANG-UP PRESS 9.
2.

Off site – Dial phone number of control (the control must have a programmed number of rings till answer). Wait for
control or answering machine to pick up. If an answering machine picks up enter ***, then enter 1. A voice message
will ask for security code. If the control answers then wait for three short beep tones and then enter your code.

Menu listing: Main menu options are underlined.
For Help - press 0. A voice message will explain the function of each key.
For Arm Status - press 1. A voice message will identify whether the system is currently armed or disarmed and will allow the

was designated to “Show” will be announced by name and by number. To choose a task, enter its number. For fastest
operation, add a 0 in front of single digit numbers. I.E. for a 3 enter 03. NOTE: Any valid task can be selected by entering
it’s two digit number, even if it was not announced. The task name will then be repeated along with the prompt: To
Activate - press #. This should cause the events to activate.
For Light Control - press 2. This menu allows direct control any light device and can even be used for PLC appliance
modules. Lights are programmed and named using RP software. Upon entry into this menu, any light which was
designated to “Show” will be announced by name and number. To choose a light, enter it’s three digit number. For
fastest operation, add 0’s in front of numbers less than three digits. NOTE: Any valid light can be selected by entering it’s
three digit number, even if it was not announced. The light name will then be repeated along with it’s current status (On/
Off) and the prompt: To Change - press #. The light should change state.
For Output Control - press 3. This menu allows direct control any valid output on the control. Outputs are programmed
and named using RP software. Upon entry into this menu, any output which was designated to “Show” will be
announced by name and number. To choose an output, enter it’s three digit number. For fastest operation, add 0’s in
front of numbers less than three digits. NOTE: Any valid output can be selected by entering it’s three digit number, even if
it was not announced. The output name will then be repeated along with it’s current status (On/Off) and the prompt: To
Change - press #. The output should change state.
For Sensor Temperature - press 4. Temperature sensors can be connected to the first 16 zones on the control. This
menu allows you to hear the current temperature of any valid sensor. Upon entry into this menu, any sensor programmed
with a name and designated to “Show” by the RP software will be announced by name and number. To choose a sensor,
enter it’s two digit number. Add 0’s in front of numbers single digits. NOTE: Any valid sensor can be selected by
entering it’s two digit number, even if it was not announced. The sensor name will then be repeated along with it’s
current reading.

Appendix B - Telephone Remote Control (cont.)
Automation Menu continued
For Keypad Temperature - press 5. Certain models of keypads have a built-in temperature sensor. This menu allows
you to hear the current temperature of any valid keypad sensor. Upon entry into this menu, any keypad sensor
programmed with a name and designated to “Show” by the RP software will be announced by name and number. To
choose a keypad sensor, enter it’s two digit number. Add 0’s in front of numbers single digits. NOTE: Any valid keypad
sensor can be selected by entering it’s two digit number, even if it was not announced. The keypad sensor name will
then be repeated along with it’s current reading.
For Thermostat Temperature - press 6. Specific brands of HVAC thermostats can be connected to the control. This
menu allows you to hear the current temperature of any valid thermostat. Upon entry into this menu, any thermostat
programmed with a name and designated to “Show” by the RP software will be announced by name and number. To
choose a thermostat, enter it’s two digit number. Add 0’s in front of numbers single digits. NOTE: Any valid thermostat
can be selected by entering it’s two digit number, even if it was not announced. The thermostat name will then be
repeated along with it’s current reading.
For System Trouble Status press 3. Upon entry into this menu, any current system troubles will be announced by name. This
will deliver a voice message stating that system is normal or the first system trouble that is present. Options: Each time 3 is
pressed the next system trouble is identified.
For Zone Status press 4. Upon entry into this menu, any current zone troubles will be announced by name. This will deliver a
voice message stating either that “no zones violated” or “zone xx violated”. Additional presses of the 4 key will announce
additional troubled zones, if any exist.
For Audio Alert press 7. This only works if a 2 way listen-in interface is installed. (ELK-M1TWI) It will open an audio path
from the phone to the listen-in board and the output 1 speakers. For full operating instructions see Appendix D.
To hang-up press 9. This will deliver the good-bye voice message. The telephone remote control operation has ending.
To hear menu options press 0. This will deliver a voice message explaining the function of each key.
* NOTE: If no response or key presses are heard by the control, the item or menu will be repeated once again. If no key
presses are received within a 30 second time frame the message “Hanging Up, Good-bye” will be heard and the control will
then disconnect.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PHONE LINE IS BUSY?
If the dialer is in use (such as during an alarm message report) then no dial tone will be heard and the offhook sequence will
be ignored. The best thing to do at that point is to try again later (when the dialer is free) or hold onto the phone
and wait till dialer hangs up. When the phone line is released (idle) dial tone will again be heard and you can then enter the
offhook sequence.
WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ALARM OCCURS?
If the control is programmed to communicate alarms to a central monitoring station, it will automatically pick up the phone line
and disconnect all calls when an alarm occurs. During this time period the telephone remote control will be inoperable.
However, the installer may elect to program a communicator delay before dial time which would permit the telephone remote
to function for a short time period immediately after an alarm. During this time it would be possible to enter the offhook
sequence of * * * and enter all the proper codes to disarm and/silence the alarm.

Appendix D - Two Way “Listen-in/Talk” Interface (optional)
Using a Two Way Interface board (ELK-M1TWI), the M1 accommodates up to 3 zones of listen-in. Each zone can have
up to 4 microphones for a total of 12 listen-in points. Talk back is delivered through the speakers connected to Output 1.
A two way session can be triggered by any number of zones when an alarm occurs. Two way can also be triggered
during a Telephone Remote Control session. Instructions for the ELK-M1TWI are included with the interface.
OPERATION
1. Two way Listen-in must first be enabled from Menu 07-Global System Options. There are two required options.
Option 31, “2Way Listen-in Enable” (No or Yes) and Option 32, “2Way Callback Time” (000 to 255 seconds). These
options are defaulted to No and 000. In addition, you must also decide which zone(s) need to activate listen-in and set
their “Enable Listen-in” programming option. Whenever a Central Station alarm message is transmitted for one of these
zones, the dialer provides two methods for initiating a listen-in session.
1a. Hold the Line - After alarm kissoff the dialer will hold the phone line open for the amount of time programmed in
Option 32, “2Way Callback Time”. This can be from 001 to 255 seconds. During this time the Operator may pick up the
line and press * 55 * to initiate an immediate two way session. If the control does not receive * 55 * during the time
period it will hang up and release the phone line.
1b. Callback - Upon hangup the control uses the same time value (Option 32, “2Way Callback Time”) to begin a callback time window. During this time window the control will answer any incoming call on the 1st ring, and allow the
Operator to press * 55 * to initiate a two way session.
2. Two way may also be initiated by calling in using the Telephone Remote Control, and pressing 7 - “Audio Monitor”.
3. Once a two way session has begun, it will continue for 3 minutes before automatically disconnecting. To extend the
two way session for 3 additional minutes you must press command 7.

Turn Off the M1 Master Power Switch.
Remove M1KP Keypad from mounting plate, disconnect the 6 pin data bus cable, and place face down on a soft surface.
Locate the 1" mounting hole in the lower left corner and the 5 pin connector marked J2 to the right of the mounting hole.
Position the M1PR in the 1" mounting hole with its 5 wire female cable facing towards connector J2 on the circuit board.
Gently lift up on the 5 wire cable, then bend the white plug down to form a slight arch in the wires.
SEE DETAIL A. This will shorten the cable enough that it can be plugged into connector J2.
6. Reconnect the 6 pin data bus cable to connector J1 and install the keypad onto its mounting plate.
7. Turn On the M1 Master Power Switch and follow the instructions for enrolling cards or fobs

Enrolling Prox Cards and Fobs
Prox cards/fobs are enrolled into a User Code location using the same procedures used to add/change User Code PINs.
1. Press the ELK key, then press the 6 key (or scroll up) to display 6 - Change User Codes. Press the RIGHT arrow key to
select this menu. A Master user code (PIN) must be entered to gain access to this menu.
2. Enter the three digit number of the desired User Code location (001 to 099) or use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to scroll
through the codes. Then select CHG by pressing the RIGHT arrow key.
3. The keypad will display any existing 4 or 6 digit code that is programmed for this user along with any programmed name.
4. Place a new (not previously enrolled) prox card/fob near the Keypad's right speaker grill below the Stay key. The read range
is approximately 1/8" to 3/8". The Keypad should beep 3 times and display the card/fob 12 digit ID.
5. If the card/fob is rejected, a low error tone and Code Not Authorized, Redo will display. Causes for reject include: A. The
card/fob has already been enrolled (duplicate codes are not allowed) OR B. The facility code in the card/fob does not
match the reader facility code. A prox reader can only read cards/fobs with a matching facility code.
6. Once a prox card/fob is enrolled in a user code location, its capabilities are set by the User Code Options found in Installer
Menu 02. The commonly used options are: Arm the M1 Control, Disarm the M1 Control, or Access event.
A keypad access event occurs when a valid prox card/fob is read at a keypad. Nothing will happen until this event is utilized in
a Whenever/And/Then Rule from the Elk-RP software. An Access event can be used to create virtually any desired reaction.
i.e., turn on an output, a light, close/open a relay, etc. The following rule example turns on Output 003 for 10 seconds when a
valid prox card/fob (with Access Option enabled) is read at Keypad 01. This could be used to break power to a door strike.
WHENEVER Keypad 01 Access is Activated
THEN Turn On Output 003 for 10 seconds.

Appendix G - Additional Keypad Information

(cont.)

KEYPAD INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Every standard ELK-M1KP has a built-in temperature sensor, which detects the surrounding ambient temperature. The
sensor temperature may be displayed on the LCD, and read from another keypad or the telephone remote control. It may
also be used with the Elk-RP Whenever/And/Then Rules to automatically cause an action or control something. i.e., a fan,
pump, light, etc.
Viewing a Keypad temperature sensor reading
1. To view a keypad temperature sensor press the ELK key once (enter code if prompted), then press the RIGHT arrow to
select the View/Control Automation menu.
2. Press the 5 key (or scroll up) to display: 4-Keypad Temperature, then press the RIGHT arrow key.
3. The first Keypad (Keypad 01 will be displayed along with its Name, Keypad Number, and Temperature.
4. Additional Keypad Temperature sensors (if any) may be displayed by entering the 2 digit Keypad number OR by scrolling
with the UP or DOWN arrow keys. To exit from this menu press the * key.
Using a Keypad temperature reading in a Rule to create an action or output
The following is an example of an ELK-RP Whenever/And/Then Rule to automatically turn on Output 3 (controlling a Fan, etc.)
for 10 minutes whenever the Keypad temperature reading exceeds 90 degrees.
1. Start RP and open an account. Click the Automation tab and the Rules tab followed by New.
2. Click Trigger, then point to Time Occurrence, then Every X Seconds, and then click to select. **
3. In the block beside the words Fixed Value, type in 30 and click OK.
4. Click And, follwed by Temperature which is located near the bottom of the drop down list.
5. Highlight the Keypad temperature sensor (by name), click the Greater than button, and change the temperature selection
number to 90. Make sure the button beside F is selected, and click OK.
6. Click Then, followed by Turn Output On/Off. Highlight Output 3 (use the scroll down arrow), make sure the button beside
Turn on is selected, then select the box labeled For. Highlight the hrs:mins:secs window and enter 00:10:00 (10 minutes). Click OK. Double check everything and click Done.
7. The completed Rule should resemble the example below.

** Numerous triggers may be used for a temperature type rule, i.e., time occurence, arming of the security system, opening of a zone, etc.
However, the M1 does not allow a temperature reading to be used as a trigger. This helps prevent a false activation "runaway" that could
occur simple because the temperature has fluctuated by a degree or fraction of a degree. Instead, the AND command is used to compare or
"test" a temperature sensor reading against a target value, each time the trigger occurs. The target value is programmable and the compare
options are "Equal to, Not equal to, Less than, and Greater than". The "Equal to" is not recommended as a compare opton because it may be
impossible for a temperature reading to be exactly at the target value when the trigger occurs.

TEMPERATURE READING ADJUSTMENT
If the Keypad internal temperature sensor appears to read higher or lower than other room thermostats/thermometers, it may be
due to the Keypad mounting location, the room conditions, or the installation of a optional Mini Prox Reader (ELK-M1PR). The
Keypad has an adjustment procedure which allows compensation for these conditions.
1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays
Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)
NOTE: This mode may also be accessed by removing power from the keypad (unplugging the data bus cable) and then
applying power while holding any key pressed.
2. Press the F2 key and the LCD will display: Temperature Degrees F = XX.X (This is the current temperature)
3. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to adjust the current temperature display until it approximates the desired setting. Each
press of the arrow keys changes the setting by approximately 3 tenths of a degree (00.3) It may not be possible to end up
exactly on an even temperature setting.
4. Press the Exit key twice do return back to the regular operation mode.
