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.

Setting the M1XRF Data Bus Address and the Starting Wireless Zone ID Devices that communicate on the RS-485 4-wire data bus must each have a valid address setting (from 1 to 15) within their device type. Keypads are TYPE 1, Hardwire and Wireless Input expanders are TYPE 2, Output expanders TYPE 3, Serial expanders TYPE 4.

Operation Handling Received Transmissions: Operationally when a transmitter signal is received by the M1XRF it quickly scans through a filter of valid transmitter sensors to determine if it that sensor has been enrolled into the M1 or EZ8 control. If that transmitter is valid then its data will be sent to the M1 Controller for additional processing.

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.
