Terminating Jumper Data Bus RS-485 Address Switches Data Bus Connections ELK-M1XRFTWM Two-Way Transceiver LEGEND Address 2 Address 3 Address 4 Address 5 NOTE: ONLY addresses 2, 3, 4, or 5 are permitted to be used with the M1XRFTWM. Installation must be in accordance with: - Chapter 2 of the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72 and the National Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA 70.
1. Mounting - Use two (2) #6 x 1/2" screws (not provided) on each side of the housing for mounting. The Transceiver connects to the Keypad data bus and may be remotely located up to several thousand feet away from the control. NEVER mount inside a metal enclosure or on metalized surface! Space at least 4 to 6 feet from electrical devices that generates noise, including the M1 Control.
Tables 1-1 and 1-2 As shown above zones 17 to 32 are associated with data bus address 2, which is where the primary Elk-M1XRFTWM must be setup and enrolled. Avoid setting up and enrolling hardwired expanders at any of the data bus addresses where a wireless zone might someday be needed.
Every signal sent by an Elk two-way sensor receives a positive acknowledgment from the transceiver. One-way systems have the reputation of being "fire and pray". Elk two-way sensors only send one signal at a time. One-way sensors have no choice but to blindly send multiple signals in hopes that at least one will reach the receiver.
Elk 6000 Series Wireless Sensors Enrollment and programming of wireless devices may be done from Keypad Installer Programming or from ElkRP Enrollment from Keypad Installer Programming utilizes Menu 14 and the LRN (Learn) method. The enroll method varies between sensors. Please follow the specific enroll method suggested below and read the additional programming recommendations.
6. To end Rapid-Enroll once all wireless zones (sensors) have been enrolled, press the ELK key one time. 7. Loop # - Refer to the "Elk 6000 Series Wireless Sensors" chart for more information on the loop setting of each sensor. For single internal reed sensors the Loop # setting will be 2.
M1 Keypad Programming for Wireless From the keypad enter the Installer Level Programming mode. Press ELK, 9 > (enter installer code). Navigate to the Wireless Setup - Menu 14 and press the RIGHT arrow key to select. There are four (4) wireless setup submenus: 1-Receiver (Transceiver) Options, 2-Xmitter 14-Wireless Options, 3-Xmitter Enroll, and 4-Keyfob Event Definitions. Use the UP or DOWN arrow keys to...

Appendix A - Data Bus Selection Table This table should help visualize how the Wireless Zones and Hardwired Zones share the data bus address assignments. Please note that No Wireless Zones Are Allowed Above Zone 160. This table shows the starting wireless Zone # and data bus address along with the additional data bus addresses and Zone #’s necessary to obtain the total and best mix of wireless and hardwired zones.
