Introduction LIMITATION This Control is designed to warn against unauthorized entry and other situations. However, it is not a guarantee of protection against the occurrence of burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for various reasons. For example: - Unauthorized access can be gained through unprotected points or by disarming or bypassing protected points.

AC Failure, Low Battery, and Automatic Low Voltage Shutdown During an AC power failure the battery automatically takes over and AC Fail trouble annunciates at the keypad. The communicator can be programmed to report AC Fail to the Central Station after a time delay (see Menu 12, System Option 01). If the battery voltage falls below 11.2 VDC a Low Battery Trouble condition will occur.
Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT! The control features a true 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. With this speed, EOL data bus terminating resistors are required to eliminate the possibility of reflection errors caused by varying cable lengths.
Page 12
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.
Section 2 - Operating the System 2.1 Introduction The control has factory default programming which make it easy to bench test prior to installation. Terminate all zones with EOL resistors, then connect a keypad, transformer, and battery. The factory (Master) user code is 3456. This code can operate all user related features of the system.
2.5 Keypad Overview Ready Light - ON when all burglar zones are secure and the system is OK to arm. If OFF, one or more zones are violated (not secure). For maximum security, secure all zones before arming the system. If FLASHING, one or more force-armable zones are violated. Force arming temporarily excludes violated zone(s) from the system.
Section 3 - Programming The Control 3.1 Introduction The Security functionality of the Control can be programmed either from an ELK-M1KP LCD Keypad, ELK-M1KP2 LCD Keypad, OR from the ELK-RP PC Software. The keypad features a menu-driven “Text” based interface with simple Yes/No answers for most options.
3.5 Communicator Setup Checklist The Communicator (Dialer) can dial up to 8 phone numbers plus RP. Digital reporting formats include: Pulse 4+2, SIA, Contact ID, and Pager. Use the following checklist for each required telephone number. Under Menu 08 - Telephone Account Setup, select one of the telephone numbers and program the following: Option 01: Select the desired reporting format - 0=Disable, 1=Contact ID, 2=SIA, 3=Pulse 4+2, 4=Pager Option 02: Set the priority for the first (primary number) to 0 = Always Report.

Section 4 - PC Programming and Automation Capabilities 4.1 ELK-RP Software ELK-RP (RP) is a Windows based software package that is compatible with Windows 98 and later. It features an extremely intuitive user interface and contains all data in a central database.
4.1.2 Check for Conflicts During the connect and disconnect process RP performs an automatic check of the data stored in the control and compares it the database. If there are any conflicts (differences), a pop-up resolution window display them and allows corrections to be made.
4.3 Automation Rules and Attributes The RP 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.

† LIGHTING - The control can handle up to 256 Light (or appliance) devices. Each is assigned to one of 256 addresses. Each device is displayed in a column format with the following options and settings: Name - Each device can be given a 16 character name (description) which is displayed on the keypad when the light is being controlled.
Page 51
CUSTOM SETTINGS - These are 20 memory locations which may be assigned a 12 character description, a function type (one of 3), and a starting value. An authorized user can then access the custom settings from keypad user menu 7- Automation Custom Settings, and modify the value whether it be a numeric value, a timer (seconds), or a time-of-day.
Page 52
TEXTS - This section allows custom text messages to be constructed and formatted. These messages can be transmitted to an LCD keypad or out one of the RS232 serial ports to a PC or some other type of equipment. A message to the keypad could be “Happy Birthday”...

RULES - This section essentially brings all the power of the control’s automation and its features 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.
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.

† Appendix D - Two Way “Listen-in/Talk” Interface Using a Two Way Interface board (ELK-EZ8TWI), up to 3 zones of listen-in can be provided. 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.
