  • Page 9 Transformer Primary Power Input (AC) The control is powered by a 16.5 VAC, 40 min. VA, UL Listed Class II (power limited) transformer (ELK-TRG1640). The specified sized and rated transformer must be used to operate this control. The transformer must be connected to a 120 VAC, 24-hour outlet not controlled by a switch other than an approved overcurrent protection device.

  • Page 13: Section 2 - Operating The System

    Section 2 - Operating the System 2.1 Introduction For best operation during bench testing, all zones should be terminated with end of line resistors and the correct transformer and battery should be connected to the unit. The control comes with factory default programming, allowing it to be bench tested prior to installation.

    How to Update Firmware: In order to make a RS232 Serial connection from an EZ8 Control to a PC the EZ8 must be equipped with an ELK- EZ8MSI Main Serial Port Interface. This provides a standard RS232 Port with operating speed up to 115,200.

  • Page 49: Automation Rules And Attributes

    4.3 Automation Rules and Attributes The Automation Programming software offers powerful, easy to setup and manage, life style enhancement features. The automation programming allows mixing and matching of lighting components, outputs (relays or voltage), thermostats, temperature sensors, and all the security inputs and features to integrate functions that add value and appeal to the owner/ user.
  • Page 50 The available Lighting formats are: Standard, Extended, Preset dim, Compose, Serial Port. The Serial port format is for UPB, ALC, Centralite, others through an ELK-M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Expander Interface. Type - This pull down box selects the whether the device is a: On/Off Switch, Dimmer, or Appliance. Show - If this box is checked the device will appear “show”...
  • Page 51 12 character description for easy reference in an automation rule. The compatible thermostats are: RCS, Aprilaire, and HAI. Due to the various data protocols, a Lighting/Thermostat/Serial Interface Expander (ELK-M1XSP) is needed to couple the M1 data bus to HVAC thermostats. Depending on the brand of thermostat, its wiring interface (RS- 232 or RS-485), and the model of control that you are installing, up to 16 HVAC thermostats can be controlled.
  • Page 52 ASCII characters formatted to a certain manufacturers protocol. Special options built into this menu include: automatic display of temperature readings from Zone Temperature Sensors (ELK-M1ZTS) and from the temperature sensor built into an LCD Keypad. The sending or receiving of text messages is controlled by the automation rules engine.
  • Page 53 RULES - This section essentially brings all the power of the automation together. Rules consist of three major elements: A WHENEVER (“triggering”) condition, one or more ANDs (“qualifiers”), and one or more THENs (“activations”). Rules utilize the various elements of the previously described sections in addition to the many control conditions (arm, disarm, alarms, etc.), plus many of the event codes listed in Appendix A.
  • Page 54 AND - The second and optional element of a rule is a qualifier. Rules can have one or more qualifiers OR none at all. Even though qualifiers are not required, they are ideal for filtering out actions that should not occur under certain circumstances.
  • Page 55 Examples of Rules - Shown below are a series of rules that should help illustrate the power and results that rules can provide. Look closely at the ones that have multiple ANDs and THENs. Rules with Multiple ANDs and THENS work as follows: When the WHENEVER element is triggered, each one of the AND elements is evaluated to determine if the condition its testing is true.

  • Page 56: Appendix A - Event Codes

    Appendix A - Event Codes Event Codes are four digit numbers used to represent alarms, troubles, arm/disarms, restores, and various other conditions that occur within the control. For the most part, they are used only internally by the control’s software. For example: turning on the alarm output. However, there are cases where the installer may need these codes.

Each zone can have up to 4 microphones for a total of 12 listen-in points. Talk back is delivered through the speakers connected to the EZ8TWI. A two way session can be triggered by any number of zones when an alarm occurs.
