IMPORTANT NOTICE: Every effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the information contained in this docu-
ment as of the date printed.
The extent of integration between Elk Products and other Partner Mfgs varies from product to product. Some integra-
tion is more powerful or feature rich than others. In some cases there are variables or limitations not within Elk's
control which may render certain desirable features unavailable or unusable. Certain Partner Mfgs products and/or
protocols, including Elk's may not contain the capabilities or data definitions to permit additional integration beyond
what is currently available. In addition, Partner Mfgs may, at their option, add, modify, or discontinued features or
support with little or no notification.
Drawings, illustrations, diagrams, part numbers, etc. contained and shown in this document are provided as refer-
ence only. All information is based on equipment available from or provided by the Partner Mfg. at the time the
information was created. A Partner Mfg may in fact offer similar or alternative equipment in their line that Elk has not
evaluated, and therefore Elk cannot guarantee operational compatibility.
For reasons stated herein, Elk Products makes no warranty that it will be able to integrate all available features or
operations, nor does it make any express or implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose or of merchantability.

  • Page 29: Data Bus E.o.l. Termination - Very Important

    Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT! The control uses a RS-485 “differential” data bus operating at 38,400 bits per second. This is relatively high speed by industry standards and ensures fast, accurate communications. EOL data bus terminating resistors are strongly suggested to eliminate the possibility of reflection errors due to varying cable lengths.
  • Page 30 The ELK-M1DBHR † "Active" Data Bus Hub Retrofit splits the Controls' main RS-485 Data Bus into 4 managed RS-485 branches. Each branch can have 2 parallel home run cables for a total of 8 home runs. The last (end of line) device on each home run should be jumper terminated to insure proper operation and supervision.
