Introduction
LIMITATION
This Control is 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 hearing-
impaired 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.

1.1 Planning the Installation
The first step in any multi-zone security system installation is planning the job.
1. Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with all system features and procedures before actually beginning the
installation. Read all the information regarding Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NFPA requirements.
2. Perform a physical survey of the installation site. Use the diagrams below as a guide in planning the installation.
3. Discuss the installation requirements and applications with the customer.
4. Compare the installation requirements and applications with the factory default settings to determine what customized
programming is needed to meet the specific installation requirements.
5. Bench test the system prior to installation.
1.2 Parts Diagram & Descriptions
See Wiring & Hookup Diagram on pages 6 & 7.
1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation
Control Mounting
DO NOT MOUNT THE CONTROL OUTDOORS OR IN A DAMP LOCATION OR WHERE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ELECTRONIC BASED EQUIPMENT. DO NOT MOUNT IN AN UNCONDITIONED ATTIC. USE
COMMON SENSE AND GOOD INSTALLATION PRACTICES. A suitable location would be inside 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.
After removing all packing materials, compare the system components with those in the figure above to familiarize yourself
with the part names. 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.
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.

1.4 Control Wiring
Zone Inputs (1 thru 8 on main board, 17 thru 208 via expanders)
Zones Z1 thru Z8 are on the main board, others are in groups of 16, starting with Z17. Each 2 zones share a common
negative terminal. A zone may be programming for EOL resistor supervision (Default), or normally closed/normally open
without a resistor. In addition, Burglar and Keyswitch zones may be programmed for EOL with Security Alert on Short, or EOL
with Security Alert on Open/Short, also referred to as a Four (4) State Zone (firmware 4.3.5 or later). If EOL resistors are used,
they should be placed at the furthest most remote end of the detection device wiring. EOL zones permit a combination of
N.C. (normally closed) or N.O. (normally open) devices. Using voltage meter probes across the zone and com terminals, a
non-violated EOL zone will measures approx. 7.0 VDC. An open circuit will be approx. 13.8 VDC. A shorted circuit will be
0 VDC. The Keypad also provides the ability “Menu 8 “System Diagnostics” to view zone voltage.

is 25 Ohms. Device placement beyond 1000' is not recommended.
M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 9
Two-Wire Smoke Zone (Zone 8)
To enable use of two-wire smoke detectors position Jumper JP1 to the 2 wire smoke position. Go to Installer programming
mode, Menu 05 - Zone Definitions, and program Zone 8 as a Fire zone (Def=10). Step to next location and program Wire
Type=6. NOTE Use only compatible two-wire detectors listed on the front label of the control. Do not mix brands. The
maximum number of detectors is also listed on the front label. For two-wire operation, a 820 Ohm EOL resistor part #
ER820 must be used instead of the 2,200 Ohm resistor part # ER2200. Use 18AWG Fire approved wire. Max. wire length =
1000 feet. Max. wire resistance should not exceed 13 Ohms.
Switched Power Connection (+VSMK)
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 +VSMK 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 +VSMK Switched (Smoke) power output is protected by a 1.1A PTC.
The +12VKP Keypad power output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. The alarm output 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, 45 min. VA, UL Listed Class 2 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.
Connect the transformer to the AC Terminals using 16 to 18 gauge minimun wire. Do not exceed 50 feet between the
transformer and the control or run the AC power in a multiconductor with other system circuits. Leave the transformer
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.

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 drops below 10.2 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.
NOTE: The Telco cord can be supervised to the RJ31X or demarc block by installing an EOL resistor across the Orange and
Blue wires (RJ31X terminals 2 and 7). In the control, connect the Orange and Blue leads to any 24hr Burglar zone input.
Outputs
There are 12 outputs on the main board. In programming these are numbered Out2, Out3, and Out 7 thru 16. The total
outputs may be expanded utilizing output expander boards connected to the RS-485 4-wire Keypad data bus. The Alarm
Output (Out 2) trips 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 2 - Connect a UL Listed Bell or Siren (self-contained). Current limited to 1 Amp. Program Global Option 26 to Voltage.
This output is supervised. Speaker(s) are only permitted for non-UL installations. Series/parallel wire to avoid dropping
below a 4 ohm total load.
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 main board outputs 7 thru 16, while also including outputs 4, 5, and 6.
Earth Grounding
Tests have determined that the best results against lightning and transients are obtained by isolating the control from ground.
Do NOT connect any of the terminals, especially the Neg. terminals to earth ground. Early production boards had an earth
ground terminal. 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.

Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT!
The control features a true RS-485 “differential” data bus operating at 38,400 bits per second. This is relatively high speed by
industry standards and ensures fast, accurate communications. With this speed, EOL data bus terminating resistors are
required to eliminate the possibility of reflection errors caused by varying cable lengths. Every data bus device; keypad, zone
expander, etc. and the control board has a built-in bus terminating resistor (120 Ohm) which is installed (activated) via a 2 pin
header/jumper (2 Gold Pins). The hardware pack includes two black shorting caps. When one of the shorting caps is placed
on the two gold pins, it installs (activates) the 120 Ohm terminating resistor across Data Lines A & B. Terminating resistors
are marked JP2 on the keypads and JP1 on the expanders. From the factory, no terminating resistors are installed (activated).
WARNING! The RS-485 Data Bus must NEVER have more than 2 terminating resistors header/jumpers installed.
Ideally, there should be no more than 2 home run cables (4 wire) with daisy chained devices along each. The last device on each cable
MUST have a terminating resistor installed (activated) via the gold 2 pin header/jumpers marked JP2 on keypads, JP1 on expanders. Place a
black shorting cap (see hardware pack) onto the 2 gold pins to install a 120 Ohm resistor across data lines A & B. If there is only 1 data bus
cable place a shorting cap on JP3 of Main Board. See alternate hookups below.
For those that prefer to home run wires, use 6 or 8 conductor (CAT5 is ideal) cable. At each device, make a three way splice of the data A, the
device A wire (terminal), and a return data A1 wire (using one of the extra wires). At the control, make a two way splice of the data A1 return
wire (series connection) to the outgoing data A wire of the next cable. Repeat for the data B wire. Remember to install a terminating jumper on
the last wired device and the control JP3 ONLY! Electrically the data wires are now in series. 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.
The ELK-M1DBH † Data Bus Hub accepts CAT5 or CAT6 cable with RJ45 plugs on the ends and does all the work of series connecting the
DATA lines A & B. Terminate at the hub using the included RJ45 Terminating Plug in the first unused jack.

Setting the Data Bus Address and Enrolling Device(s) into the System
Keypads and expander devices communicate 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 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’s OK to have a
Keypad, Zone Expander, and 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 addresses are 1 to 16. 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 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: An alternate method is to remove power from the keypad and then power up while holding any key pressed.
2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.

2.1 Introduction
The control has factory default programming which make it easy to bench test prior to installation. Terminate all zones with
EOL resistors, then connect a keypad, transformer, and battery. The factory (Master) user code is 3456. This code can
operate all user related features of the system. This section 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. 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.
2.3 User Codes and Authorities
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 digits and user names are 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 operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer
passcode are slightly different.
Factory Default for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code) (1 2 3 4 5 6 if the six digit code option is enabled)
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 and has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any
area and disarm any area as long as the area WAS NOT armed by a user code. The Installer code can silence 24hr alarms
or a Burglary alarms in an area that was armed by the installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code can silence
a trouble condition in a disarmed area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.
Factory Default for the Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9
CAUTION: If a 4 digit User Code matches the last 4 digits of the Installer Code (or the whole code if 6 digit User
Code option is enabled), the control will deny access to installer program mode. If this occurs, use the Master
User Code to access menu 6 and locate the “offending” User Code, then change its digits to something new.

2.5 Keypad Overview
Ready Light - ON when all burglar zones are secure and the system is OK to arm. If OFF, one or more zones are violated (not secure). For
maximum security, secure all zones before arming the system. If FLASHING, one or more force-armable zones are violated. Force arming
temporarily excludes violated zone(s) from the system. If a force armed zone becomes secure while system is armed, it will automatically
restore to service. This is handy for a garage door as system may be armed with the door up, but will secure when door closes.
Armed Light- 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 - May be programmed for single or double press arming to the AWAY (not occupied) mode. If 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 to Away
Vacation mode. Vacation mode is primarily for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of Elk-RP for long term energy savings.
Stay Key - May be programmed for single or double press arming to the STAY (occupied) mode. If 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 pro-
grammed 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”.

Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu and display the following:
Enter a valid user code. The control does not allow (restricts) mapping or viewing of
areas that are not authorized for the user code.
MAPPING TO AN INDIVIDUAL AREA
Enter an area number from 1 to 8 OR scroll UP and DOWN with the arrow keys.
Press the Right Arrow key to map the Keypad to the area shown. The LCD display and
the Ready / Armed LEDs will show the status for the mapped area for 1 minute. During
this minute, it is possible to arm, disarm, bypass, etc. the mapped area from this
keypad. Each time a key is pressed the 1 minute is restarted. However, after 1 minute
of no keypress activity, the keypad will return to its original primary assigned area.
ACCESSING A CONSOLIDATED DISPLAY OF ALL VALID AREAS
Entering “0” for the area number immediately maps the Keypad to a consolidated
snapshot’ of all authorized areas. This permits quick arming and disarming only. If an
area is not ready to arm it will be necessary to map individually to that area to view the
violated zone(s) and either secure or bypass them prior to arming.
This example shows all 8 areas, meaning that the User Code was valid for all 8.
The display only shows the areas for which the user code is authorized.
Note the letter beneath each area number.
This menu allows the keypad to be mapped temporarily to any other area, allowing multi-area (partitioned) opera-
tion. An individually mapped area can be armed, disarmed, and controlled just as if the keypad were permanently
assigned to that area. It may also be used to access a consolidated display of all areas at once, showing the
status of each area.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 19
3.1 Introduction
The Security functionality of the Control can be programmed either from an ELK-M1KP LCD Keypad, ELK-M1KP2 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..
The Factory Default Elk-RP Access Code is: 2 4 6 8 0 1
NOTE: UL requires that a Technician be On-Site when doing Remote Programming.
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 building divided into
room(s) to be armed/disarmed separately. 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 people. Each area must have its own 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.

Enrolled, Editr
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.

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:
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 Output Exp Addr Input Exp Output Exp. Addr Input Exp Output Exp.
1 = N/A (main bd) N/A (main bd) 6 = Zone 81-96 Output 65-80 11 = Zone 161-176 Output 161-176
2 = Zone 17-32 Output 17-32 7 = Zone 97-112 Output 97-112 12 = Zone 177-192 Output 177-192
3 = Zone 33-48 Output 33-48 8 = Zone 113-128 Output 113-128 13 = Zone 193-208 Output 193-208
4 = Zone 49-64 Output 49-64 9 = Zone 129-144 Output 129-144
5 = Zone 65-80 Output 65-80 10 = Zone 145-160 Output 145-160
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 16. 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.
Note: For the ELK-M1KP2 Keypad simply press and hold the asterisk “*” key 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.
Press RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. Press UP or DOWN arrow keys to select

VACATION MODE: During the exit delay time the Away key may be pressed to convert from Away mode to Away
Vacation mode. The Away Vacation mode does not alter any of the security arming times or zones. Its primary purpose
is for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of Elk-RP for enhanced energy savings modes.
†† 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)

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.
08 Burglar 24 hr - Intended for tamper switches, etc. Activates an immediate Burglary alarm if tripped anytime
(during armed or disarmed state).
09 Burglar 24 hr Box Tamper - Intended for control, siren, and bell box tamper switches. Activates an immediate
Burglary Tamper alarm if tripped anytime (armed or disarmed state).
10 Fire 24 hr Alarm - Intended for Fire alarm sensors such as smoke detectors, heat stats, pull stations, etc.
Activates an immediate Fire alarm upon a short across the zone wires. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open
(break in the zone wires) should occur.
11 Fire 24 hr ‘Verified’ - For smoke detectors in high-risk false alarm areas. Upon initial activation (short across the
zone), the control ignores the alarm and removes smoke power for 5 seconds to reset the detectors. During this 5
seconds, and for 20 additional seconds afterwards, no alarms will be recognized from this zone. Following this is
a 60 second verification time window, during which any additional activation will be regarded as verification of the
initial alarm and the control will initiate a Fire Alarm. If the 60 seconds expires with no further activations, the entire
process is cleared (reset). A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open (break in the zone wires) occurs.
12 Fire 24 hr Supervisory - Intended for monitoring water control valves on fire sprinkler systems. Same as Fire 24hr
except that a short across the zone activates a Fire Supervisory alarm. A Fire Trouble will be activated if an open
(break in the zone wires) should occur.
13 Auxiliary1 24 hr - This zone can trip anytime (armed or disarmed) and send a communicator report, but there is
no audible alarm output or keypad indication provided. It is displayed in the event log. A Whenever/And/Then rule
can be written from the RP software to do other things with this zone type. Resets upon restoral.
14 Auxiliary2 24 hr - This zone can trip anytime (armed or disarmed) and send a communicator report, but there is

Zone Definitions 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 cancelled 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. Upon the first code entry
the keypad displays READY FORCE. The second code entry will force arm. Force arm
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.
†† Swinger Shutdown prevents a runaway communicator by shunting a zone after 2 trips.
Zone cannot send another alarm until control is reset OR a 48 hour time period elapses.
Default setting is No.
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.
NOTE: Slow loop response shall NOT be used on Fire zones.
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.
†† Burglar zones programmed “In CrossZonePool” cannot cause an alarm unless another
zone in the cross zone pool also activates within a time window OR unless “Cross Zone
Self Ver“ is Menu 07 - Global System Definitions. Entry/exit zones should NOT be
programmed as Cross zones. Default setting is No. NOTE: The Cross Zone feature
shall NOT be used on Fire zones.
To program the text description of the Zone Name (max. of 16 characters) press the left
arrow key. Enter text using the number keys. I.E. For a “K” press the 5 key twice. To
move the cursor press the right or left arrow keys. While programming the text, pressing

The control can dial up to 8 telephone numbers plus the ELK-RP number. Each of the 8
phone numbers can be used to report alarms, troubles, closings, opening, etc. in digital
format as well as pager formats. Use the up/down arrow keys to select the telephone
number, then press the right arrow key to program the options, starting with option 01.
This selects the reporting format to be used with this number. The available formats are:
00 = Disable reporting 03 = Pulse 4+2 06 = Ethernet
01 = Contact ID 04 = Pager DTMF tones
02 = SIA 05 = not used
0=Always Report, meaning the number will be dialed when its “report to” options are
activated. 1=Backup, meaning the number will ONLY be dialed if the previous sequential
number failed to complete its call. When backup is selected the “report to” options will be
copied from the previous number and ONLY the name, number, format, and dial attempts
may be edited. To edit any “report to” options you must temporarily set this value to 0.
NOTE: Telephone # 1 cannot be set as a backup since it is the first number. A
backup cannot have another backup.
Up to 20 digits may be entered for a telephone number. Valid numeric digits are: 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0. In addition, the following special characters may be programmed.

NOTE: For UL Listed Installations the Dialer Delay MUST be set to 000.
Alarm Abort code is an optional code that may be reported when an alarm is aborted
during the Comm Abort Time window. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
.
Cancel Window Time is the time following an alarm during which a cancel code will be
reported if the area is disarmed. Cancel is not the same as abort since the alarm has
already reported. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
Alarm Cancel code is the code that will be reported if the area in alarm is disarmed within
the Cancel Window Time. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
Close Automatic code will be reported anytime the area is armed automatically by a Rule
from the RP software programming. Refer to the ELK-RP Rules Programming
instructions. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
Close Early code will be reported if the area is closed prior to a programmed Expected
Arm time. Refer to the ELK-RP Rules Programming instructions. Range is 00 to FF.
Default is 00 (no report).
Close Extended code will be reported if a programmed Expected Arm time is extended by
a valid user. Refer to the ELK-RP Rules Programming instructions. Range is 00 to FF.
Default is 00 (no report).

Global System Definitions, Option 12 for the maximum number of digits allowed) in an
attempt to hack out a valid user code. Range is 00 to FF. Default is 00 (no report).
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).

Menu 14 - Wireless Definitions
WirelessDefinitions Description
The Wireless Definitions menu is broken into four parts: 1:Receiver Options, 2:Xmitter
Options, 3:Xmitter Enroll, and 4:Keyfob Event Definitions. To program Receiver Options
press the right arrow key. To move to Transmitter Options, Xmitter Enroll, or Keyfob
Event Definitions press the up or down arrow keys.
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 control
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:
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. The NX416E and
NX448E are therefore better economic choices.
R03: Reg. Supervision sets the interval, in hours, for “check-in” by transmitters which are
programmed for “Supervision Type 1”, see transmitter option 01. Valid range is 001 to
255 hours, however a value lower than 4 is not recommended. Default value is 24.
R04: Fire Supervision sets the interval, in hours, for “check-in” by transmitters which are
programmed for “Supervision Type 2” (Fire), see transmitter option 02. Valid range is 001
to 255 hours, however a value lower than 4 is not recommended. Default value is 004.

4.1 ELK-RP Software
ELK-RP (RP) is a Windows based software package that is compatible with Windows 98
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 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 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 an
M1EZ8MSA Main Serial Interface (optional), which
then connects to the EZ8 board. NOTE: If your
computer only has a USB port, an approved
converter (USB to RS-232) is available from ELK
(ELK-USB232).
2. Dial-up using Modem and phone line - RP is
compatible with virtually all computer modems, even 56k modems. This is due to the control’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 control 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.
3. Network - With an optional ELK-M1XEP Ethernet Port module you can connect over a Local or Wide Area Network. (Contact
ELK for details)
Section 4 - PC Programming and Automation Capabilities
NOTE: UL requires that a Technician be On-Site when doing Remote Programming.
M1EZ8 Installation and Programming
Page 48
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 control 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. In order to make a RS232 Serial connection from an EZ8 Control to a PC the EZ8 must be equipped with an ELK-
EZ8MSI Main Serial Port Interface. This provides a standard RS232 Port with operating speed up to 115,200.
2. Connect a 9 pin serial cable from the Computer’s Serial Port to the 9 Pin RS232 Connector on EZ8MSI.
3. Start RP and open the account belonging to that particular control. Click on the Connection menu icon and establish
a connection using the Direct using Com_ option.
4. Click on Update/Verify Firmware from the Send/Rcv menu icon.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 49
4.3 Automation Rules and Attributes
The RP Automation Programming software offers powerful, easy to setup and manage, life style enhancement features. The
automation programming allows mixing and matching of lighting components, outputs (relays or 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 control.
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.

Page 50
LIGHTING - The control can handle up to 256 Light (or appliance) devices. Each is assigned to one of 256
addresses. Each device is displayed in a column 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. The available Lighting formats are: Standard, Extended, Preset dim,
Compose, Serial Port. The Serial port format is for UPB, ALC, Centralite, others through an ELK-M1XSP 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. 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 built-in Astronomical clock, which is capable of calculating sunrise and sunset times automatically. The inputs necessary
to setup the control for sunrise/sunset are latitude, longitude, and the time zone value where the control 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 control.
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.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 51
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 7-
Automation 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 control and its automation rules engine.
This menu allows each thermostat to be assigned a 12 character description for easy reference in an automation rule.
Currently compatible thermostats include: RCS, Aprilaire, and HAI. Due to the various data protocols, a Lighting/Thermostat/
Serial Interface Expander (ELK-M1XSP) is needed to couple the data bus to HVAC thermostats. Depending on the brand of
thermostat, its wiring interface (RS-232 or RS-485), 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. 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.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 53
RULES - This section essentially brings all the power of the control’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.
M1EZ8 Installation and Programming
Page 54
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-F-
Example 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
M1EZ8 Installation and Programming Page 55
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.

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 1009 =
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.

“Reset” Attribute
The letter(s) displayed in Reset column indicate what condition(s) it takes to
clear an event once it has been activated.
For example: the letters TMC indicate the event will reset when the output
timer ends, or when manually turned off, or when a valid user code is
entered, whichever comes first. NOTE:
The reset attributes are shown only for informational purposes. They are set
by the factory and cannot be altered.
N (0) Event follows the activation
T (1) Event clears when output timer ends
M (2) Event clears when manually turned off
C (4) Event clears upon User Code entry
A (16) Event clears upon Arming
D (32) Event clears upon Disarming

Appendix D - Two Way “Listen-in/Talk” Interface
Not evaluated by UL
Using a Two Way Interface board (ELK-EZ8TWI), up to 3 zones of listen-in can be provided. 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 the EZ8TWI. 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-EZ8TWI 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 call-
back 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. 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.
TONE COMMANDS

M1KP KEYPAD ON-BOARD TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The ELK-M1KP Keypad has an on-board temperature sensor. (NOTE: The ELK-M1KP2 & M1KPAS devices DO NOT HAVE an
on-board temp sensor.) The temperature may be displayed and/or used with the Elk-RP Whenever/And/Then Rules to cause
an action or control something. i.e., a fan, pump, light, etc.
Using a Keypad temperature reading in an ELK-RP Whenever/And/Then Rule to create an action or output
The following rule example will turn on Output 3 for 10 minutes when 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 min-
utes). Click OK. Double check everything and click Done.
** Numerous WHENEVERS may be used for a temperature rule, i.e., time occurence, arming of the system, etc. but NOT a direct temperature
change or reading. However, you can use a AND command to compare or "test" a temperature reading against a target value each time the
trigger occurs. The target 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.
M1KP Temp Sensor Calibration - It may be necessary to re-calibrate the temp sensor for certain locations.
1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key ** . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 secs or until the LCD displays
Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)
** Alternate Method: Hold any key pressed while applying power to the keypad.
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 temp display until it approximates the desired setting. Each press
changes the setting by approximately 3 tenths of a degree (00.3)
4. Press the Exit key twice do return back to the regular operation mode.
Appendix G - Additional ELK-M1KP Keypad Information
OPTIONAL PLUG-IN PROX CARD READER
(Internal or external on ELK-M1KP, external only on ELK-M1KP2)
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 Control, Disarm the 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.
