Elk -M1XSLZW Instructions Manual

ELK-M1XSLZW
M1 to Leviton Z-Wave Interface
APPLICATION & OVERVIEW:
The M1XSLZW is a specialized Elk-M1 serial expander for
connecting M1 Controls to Z-Wave enabled devices through a
Leviton VRC0P-1LW (vizia rf+3) Z-Wave Serial Interface.
Z-Wave is a wireless, low power, "mesh" network technology
widely used for automating devices such as: Lights, Thermostats,
Electronic Locks, etc. Z-Wave empowers devices to be remotely
controlled from across the room or across the world with benefits
such as energy savings, convenience, and comfort.
The VRC0P-1LW (vizia rf+3) is known as a Z-Wave Secondary
Controller. It is required as a permanent member of the Z-Wave
network to maintain contact with all Z-Wave devices and
communicate via RS232 to the M1XSLZW. The M1XSLZW
translates the protocol into the M1 control and allows commands
to be sent and received on the Z-Wave network.
Functionally the M1XSLZW is a serial expander (RS485 to
RS232) and shares the same TYPE 5 databus ID as M1XSP serial
expanders. A maximum of seven (7) TYPE 5 serial expanders
may be connected to an M1.
A key benefit of combining the M1XSLZW and VRCOP-1LW
(vizia rf+3) is the ability to interface with new generation Z-Wave
devices such as the electronic deadbolts and locksets from
Kwikset, Yale, and Schlage. Locks require a special Security
Encrypted (SE) protocol and a process called "Beaming". Both
the M1XSLZW and the VRC0P-1LW (vizia rf+3) support these
new requirements.
In general, any Z-Wave device that is compatible with the Levitons
VRC0P-1LW (vizia rf+3) should also be compatible with the M1.
However some devices may have limited functionality due to
design or feature differences.
