  • Page 3 The design of the M1XRF receiver provides for all transmitter programming and enrollment data to be stored in the control panel, not in the M1XRF. The only data stored in the receiver is a pre-filter or list of "valid transmitters" that is automatically updated by the control each time the sensor enrollment mode is exited.

    - Before making any wiring connections, turn the power Off on the Control Panel. Connect terminals +12V, A, B, and Neg from the M1XRF to the M1's Keypad Data Bus (terminals +VKP, Data A, Data B, & Neg). NOTE: Refer to the M1 Installation Manual and the M1DBH information in this manual about proper connections of data bus devices with multiple homerun cables.
  • Page 5: Setting The M1Xrf Data Bus Address And The Starting Wireless Zone Id

    M1XRF Receivers: The main differences between a ELK-M1XRF Wireless Receiver and a ELK-M1XIN Zone Expander are: 1) With only a single (1) M1XRF Receiver it is possible to add up to 144 wireless zones to the control in groups of 16 at a time.
  • Page 6: Data Bus Enrollment

    Data Bus Enrollment:: Once the address is set and the M1XRF is powered up it will be necessary to manually ENROLL the device so that the M1 Control knows it is present. This is accomplished either from keypad programming "Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment" or from the ElkRP Remote Programming Software.
  • Page 7: Operation And Programming

    - A slow blink of once per second with a matching Off time indicates normal operating mode. - A more rapid "two" blinks per second with a very brief Off time indicates the M1XRF is in the Bootloader mode. This occurs when the unit is awaiting a flash download of its application firmware. Until the firmware application has been successfully downloaded the M1XRF is non-functional as a wireless receiver.

    2). This leaves the most room for future wireless expansion all the way up to zone 160. - If the job needs lots of hardwired zones and only a handful of wireless zones consider starting the M1XRF at a higher address, leaving room for future hardwired expansion at the lower addresses.

    Receivers. From the example above, addresses 3, 4, and 5 could be used by additional "redundant" M1XRF Receivers. In theory it is possible to install up to 11 total M1XRF Receivers onto a single M1 or M1EZ8 control, but only if there were NO M1XIN Expanders installed.
  • Page 15: Appendix D - Updating Firmware In The Elk-M1Xrf

    Appendix D - Updating Firmware in the ELK-M1XRF The M1XRF stores it’s operating firmware in “Flash” memory. This state-of-the-art memory allows electronic field updates 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 Dealer ONLY restricted website found at www.elkproducts.com.
