3.1 Introduction The Security functionality of the M1 Control can be programmed either from an ELK-M1KP LCD Keypad OR from the NESS-RP PC Software. The keypad features a menu-driven “Text” based interface with simple Yes/No answers for most options. After just a short amount of experience the average installer will not even require an instruction manual to keypad program the control.

A Yes allows this code to activate the Access Keypad Events 1313-1328 for the keypad 001 05:=No where code is entered. Use the Whenever/And/Then Rules from Ness-RP to assign an Access with Code output to this event for tripping a door strike or lock. Note: If this code is enabled for arming, it will be necessary to press the Exit or Stay key to arm after the code.
An Exit Error event flag will also be set which can be used by the “Whenever/And/Then” rules (refer to the Ness-RP software) to sound a siren, or blink a light, or whatever. Exit Error feature complies with the SIA CP-1 false alarm reduction standard.

AUTO ARMING: The control has an Auto Arming feature which may be setup using the “Whenever/And/Then Rules” in the Ness-RP PC Programming Software. Basically, a rule must be written to initiate the auto arm sequence at a specific time and/or date occurrence along with a programmable pre-warning time period. At the end of the pre-warn time, the system will automatically arm to the AWAY mode, bypassing any violated Burglar zones.
This serves to visually verify to the user that the correct key has been selected prior to the second “activating” key press. 7) Key Name - A sixteen character programmable description that describes the key’s function.
