OVERVIEW The "EG" model of the ELK-M1XRF Wireless RF Receiver (full part # ELKM1XRFEG) allows the ELK-M1 and ELK-M1EZ8 Controls to accept GE 319.5MHz format Wireless Transmitters, including other brand sensors that are compatible with the GE protocol. Refer to the list of compatible transmitters elsewhere in the manual. Regardless of model, an M1XRF receiver attaches to the four (4) wire (keypad) data bus and integrates in much the same way as a hardwired zone expander, with the exception that a single M1XRF can handle up to 144 wireless zones (e.g.

M1XIN Expanders: A single ELK-M1XIN Hardwired Zone Expander (M1XIN) provides 16 hardwired zones. The data bus address SETS THE ID OF THE STARTING ZONE of each 16 zone group. See Table 1-1. If additional M1XINs are installed, each must have a different address (usually the next available) to set the starting zone of the next 16 zone group.
Intrusion Sensor. In Elk's opinion, the minimum acceptable level of any wireless sensor would generally be a level 4. This is based on the fact that the M1XRF Receiver REQUIRES a minimum of 2 repeated data packets in order to qualify an event as a valid transmission.

Appendix A - Data Bus Selection Tables These tables are intended to help visualize how the Wireless Zones and Hardwired Zones share the data bus address assignments. They should help with the setting of a starting zone ID and data bus address(s) to obtain the total and best mix of wireless and hardwired zones.
