    There are 4 address switches, each with a position of OFF or ON (binary value 0 or 1) and a decimal equivalent value of (1, 2, 4, or 8). The total decimal value of the "ON" switches equates to the data bus address. As a rule, the first M1XSP should be set to address 1.
  • Page 3: Elk-M1 Data Bus E.o.l. Termination

    Optional programmable Zone Input The optional ELK-M1DBH † Data Bus Hub is suggested if the job must have more than 2 home runs. The M1DBH accepts CAT5 or CAT6 cable with RJ45 plugs. It keeps wires more organized while also providing easy bus termination. Essentially, the M1DBH circuit board daisy chains the devices by series connecting the DATA lines A &...

    OFF status changes. Refer to the section titled "Load Status Communications". The M1XSP is capable of sending commands to Groups 1 thru 62, but only if you have a way to setup the groups. A third party hardware/software interface like the Universal Devices Ins. (ISY99) does not have the above limitations.
  • Page 5 ** Optional: You may elect to end the linking process after each new device (using step 5) just so the next linked device will be visually confirmed by the start of the special blink process of the M1XSP. Keep in mind if you elect to do this, the linking process must then be restarted (using step 2) prior to proceeding to the next device.
  • Page 6 Special Option - Jumper S5 With the INSTEON version of the M1XSP in default settings no X-10 House or Unit codes can be programmed in the M1 Lighting device locations 193 (M1) to 256 (P16). This is because these locations are reserved for INSTEON Groups and special commands.

    Added a 1 second debounce timer upon power-up before reading the state of Jumper S1. New feature - It is now possible to tell the M1XSP to totally ignore X-10 type commands heard from the M1 or from the Insteon PLC by setting Jumper S8 to “0”. I.E. X-10 can still travel on the X-10 connector located on the M1G board while Insteon commands travel on the M1XSP without clashing or inteferring with one another.

    NOTE: Updating will ERASE ALL linked Insteon devices! Polling for status after a manual switch press - Added a new routine to make the M1XSP poll a device if it detects release of the on or off switch. This should improve the ability for the M1 to get the level (instead of just on and off) of the light after a local switch press.
