OVERVIEW The "2G" model of the ELK-M1XRF Wireless RF Receiver (full part # ELKM1XRF2G) allows the ELK-M1 and ELK-M1EZ8 Controls to accept specific models of GE wireless transmitters. The receiver connects to the four (4) wire data (keypad) bus of the control and integrates in much the same way as a M1XIN hardware zone expander except that a single Receiver 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 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 charts are intended to help visualize how the Wireless Zones and Hardwired Zones interact and to assist with setting the starting zone ID and the data bus addresses to obtain the total and best mix of wireless and hardwired zones. Special attention should be given to the left most column as it represents the total "max."...

Appendix C - Installing Multiple Redundant Receivers After the first M1XRF2G Receiver has been installed, additional receivers can be installed for redundancy or improved coverage and range. Each addtional receiver will need its own data bus address and will need to be enrolled into the control. The data bus address setting of any additional "redundant"...
