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:
- Unauthorizedaccesscanbegained through unprotectedpoints or bydisarming or bypassingprotected points.
- Sensingdevices are powerdriven and do not operate without electrical power. Battery-operateddevices will notwork without batteries,with
deadbatteries, or ifthe batteries arenot put inproperly. Devices powered solely byACwill not workif theirAC power supply is cut offfor any
reason, however briefly.
- Telephone linesover which alarmsignals are transmittedmay be outof service or rendered inoperable by an intruder.
- Even if the system respondsto the emergency as intended, occupants may haveinsufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency
situation.In thecase of a monitored alarmsystem, authoritiesmay not respond appropriately.
- Smokedetectors have limitationsand cannot detect all types of fires. Accordingto data publishedby the Federal Emergency Management
Agency,whilesmoke detectorshave playeda keyrole inreducing residentialfire deathsin theUnited States,they maynot activateor provide
early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, . Some of the reasons some detectors used in conjunction with this
System may not work areas follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installedand positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense
fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectorsalso maynot sensea fireon anotherlevel ofa residence or building.Asecond floordetector,for example,may not sense afirst floor
or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general,
detectorsmay notalways warnabout firescaused bycarelessness andsafety hazardslike smokingin bed,violent explosions,escaping gas,
improperstorageof flammablematerials,overloaded electrical circuits,children playing withmatches,or arson.Dependingan thenatureof the
fire, and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all
occupantsto escape in time to prevent injury or death..
- Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path
has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.
- Wirelesstransmitters (used insome systems) aredesigned to providelong battery lifeunder normal operatingconditions. Longevity of
batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External
factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given
installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to
maintainprotection for thatgiven point withinthe system.
- Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance.
Homeowner, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and
property.
- Auser may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
- PassiveInfrared Motion Detectorscan only detectintrusion within thedesigned ranges asdiagrammed in their installation manual. Passive
InfraredDetectors donot providevolumetric areaprotection. Theydo create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion canonly bedetected
inunobstructed areas covered by thosebeams. They cannotdetect motion or intrusion thattakes place behind walls, ceilings,floors,closed
doors,glass partitions,glass doors, orwindows. Mechanicaltampering, masking,painting or spraying of anymaterial onthe mirrors,windows
orany partof the optical system can reduce their detection ability.Passive InfraredDetectors sensechanges intemperature; however,as the
ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105F (32 to 40C), the detection performance can
decrease.
- Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of
closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to
waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a
stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-
impairedpeople.
- This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subjectto component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20
years,the electronic componentscould fail at any time.
- The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm
system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

1.1 Planning the Installation
The first step in any multi-zone security system installation is planning the job.
1. Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with all system features and procedures before actually beginning the
installation. Read all the information regarding Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NFPA requirements.
2. Perform a physical survey of the installation site. Use the diagrams below as a guide in planning the installation.
3. Discuss the installation requirements and applications with the customer.
4. Compare the installation requirements and applications with the factory default settings to determine what customized
programming is needed to meet the specific installation requirements.
5. Bench test the system prior to installation.
1.2 Parts Diagram & Descriptions
See Wiring & Hookup Diagram on pages 6 & 7.
1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation
Control Mounting
DO NOT MOUNTTHE CONTROLOUTDOORS OR INADAMP LOCATION OR WHERE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ELECTRONIC BASED EQUIPMENT. DO NOT MOUNTINAN UNCONDITIONEDATTIC. USE
COMMON SENSE AND GOOD INSTALLATION PRACTICES. A suitable location would be inside a secure dry location where
the ambient temperature inside the control box can remain at 32‘ to 120°Fahrenheit (0’ to +49' Celsius). Choose a location
that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a grounding conductor for the control. A central location makes
running system wiring easier. Remove control box knockouts that best suit your wiring needs.
After removing all packing materials, compare the system components with those in the figure above to familiarize yourself
with the part names. Mount the control using the upper center slotted hole to level. Install and connect all necessary wiring for
the power transformer, detection loops, keypads and siren outputs.
Keypad Mounting and Wiring
Ideal keypad height is 50-58 inches above the floor. Select a location with an ambient temperature range between 32°and
120°F (0° to +49°C). Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Fasten mounting plate to electrical box (or directly to wall) using flat
head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the circuit board. Keypads have a removable wiring plug for connecting to the M1
4-wire data bus. CAT5 or CAT6 eight (8) conductor cable is recommended for all Data Bus cables. The extra wires provide
data return paths. Splice the Black, Red, White, and Green wires from the removable wiring plug to the Data Bus cable. Plug
the connector into the back of the keypad. Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. Each
keypad has connections for an optional programmable output and a programmable zone input.

1.4 Control Wiring
Zone Inputs (1 thru 8 on main board, 17 thru 208 via expanders)
Zones Z1 thru Z8 are on the main board, others are in groups of 16, starting with Z17. Each 2 zones share a common
negative terminal. A zone may be programming for EOL resistor supervision (Default), or normally closed/normally open
without a resistor. In addition, Burglar and Keyswitch zones may be programmed for EOL with Security Alert on Short, or EOL
with Security Alert on Open/Short, also referred to as a Four (4) State Zone (firmware 4.3.5 or later). If EOL resistors are used,
they should be placed at the furthest most remote end of the detection device wiring. EOL zones permit a combination of
N.C. (normally closed) or N.O. (normally open) devices. Using voltage meter probes across the zone and com terminals, a
non-violated EOL zone will measures approx. 7.0 VDC. An open circuit will be approx. 13.8 VDC. A shorted circuit will be
0 VDC. The Keypad also provides the ability “Menu 8 “System Diagnostics” to view zone voltage.

is 25 Ohms. Device placement beyond 1000' is not recommended.

M1EZ8InstallationandProgramming Page9
Two-Wire Smoke Zone (Zone 8)
To enable use of two-wire smoke detectors position Jumper JP1 to the 2 wire smoke position. Go to Installer programming
mode, Menu 05 - Zone Definitions, and program Zone 8 as a Fire zone (Def=10). Step to next location and program Wire
Type=6. NOTE Use only compatible two-wire detectors listed on the front label of the control. Do not mix brands. The
maximum number of detectors is also listed on the front label. For two-wire operation, a 820 Ohm EOL resistor part #
ER820 must be used instead of the 2,200 Ohm resistor part # ER2200. Use 18AWG Fire approved wire. Max. wire length =
1000 feet. Max. wire resistance should not exceed 13 Ohms.
Switched Power Connection (+VSMK)
Four-wire smoke detector and other devices that require a temporary power disruption in order to reset or unlatch from the
alarm state (i.e. smoke detectors, etc.) should be connected to the +VSMK 12 Volt DC switched power terminal. When a
smoke reset is performed, the operating voltage to these devices is momentarily interrupted.
Auxiliary Power Connections (+VAUX)
Motion detectors, glass breaks, etc. and other devices requiring unswitched 24-hour power should be connected to one of the
auxiliary terminals, +VAUX. All negative terminals on the terminal strip are at the same reference and may be used whenever
a common (circuit ground) negative is required. Use caution when wiring the control to distribute the load devices among the
supply and the negative terminals evenly. NOTE: Circuit ground refers to any negative terminal connection on this control.
This does not refer to the earth ground terminal or to the common terminals of Relay Output 3. These terminals are not at
the same voltage potential and should not be wired so that they are electrically connected to a negative.
PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Circuit Breakers
The +VAUX Auxiliary power and J16 power output terminals are protected against shorts and overloads by a 1.25A PTC. A PTC
is a solid state, auto-restoring type of circuit breaker. The +VSMK Switched (Smoke) power output is protected by a 1.1A PTC.
The +12VKP Keypad power output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. The alarm output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. NOTE:
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove power (unplug the outputs) for approx. 20 seconds after a short, to allow the
PTC to reset. Even if the short is no longer present, the remaining residual current draw may be so high that the PTC
cannot determine that the short is gone. If the PTC re-trips, check the field wiring and repair.
Transformer Primary Power Input (AC)
The control is powered by a 16.5 VAC, 45 min. VA, UL Listed Class 2 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.
Connect the transformer to the AC Terminals using 16 to 18 gauge minimun wire. Do not exceed 50 feet between the
transformer and the control or run the AC power in a multiconductor with other system circuits. Leave the transformer
unplugged as well as the standby battery until all other connections have been made.
Standby Battery Connection
Connect the BLACK wire to the Neg (-) terminal on the battery, the connect the RED wire to the Pos (+) terminal on the battery.
The control is designed to operate with and recharge a 12 volt, sealed lead acid battery from 7Ah up to 18 Ah for backup of the
primary power supply. The control maintains a float charge for the battery of 13.8 VDC at 100 mA. This is in addition to the
continuous output of 1.5 Amps that the power supply maintains (see maximum current drains for UL Listed Systems).
CAUTION: Do not reverse the battery leads! The control has special circuitry which helps protect it from battery reversal
damage for short durations. However, prolonged reversal of the battery leads may cause permanent damage. A reverse
battery warning LED is located to the left of the power On/Off switch. If this light is ON, turn the power off immediately
and correct the battery lead connections.

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. The communicator can be programmed
to report Low Battery to the Central Station. The battery will continue to run the control until its voltage drops below 10.2 VDC,
at which time the control will disconnect and shut down to prevent a false alarm and damage to the battery. The AC Fail
trouble display will clear if the AC restores. However, the Low Battery Trouble requires a manual or automatic battery load test
before it will clear. An automatic battery load test is performed every 24 hours. See Section 2.2 for powering up the control.
Telephone Line Connection (R1,T1,T,R)
The telephone interface is connected by the use of an approved RJ-31X interconnect jack. This device allows the subscriber
to disconnect the control/communicator from the public switched telephone network in the event of a malfunction. The control
is equipped with line seizure so that the premises telephone service is interrupted during communication to the central
station. Connection to the approved jack is done with a RJSET cord which connects the control terminals to the RJ31X jack.
NOTE: The Telco cord can be supervised to the RJ31X or demarc block by installing an EOL resistor across the Orange and
Blue wires (RJ31X terminals 2 and 7). In the control, connect the Orange and Blue leads to any 24hr Burglar zone input.
Outputs
There are 12 outputs on the main board. In programming these are numbered Out2, Out3, and Out 7 thru 16. The total
outputs may be expanded utilizing output expander boards connected to the RS-485 4-wire Keypad data bus. The Alarm
Output (Out 2) trips when any alarm is activated. All others must be enabled through the RP Rules Programming and can be
triggered by multiple conditions “events”. Do not exceed the current limits on voltage only outputs.
Output 2 - Connect a UL Listed Bell or Siren (self-contained). Current limited to 1 Amp. Program Global Option 26 to Voltage.
This output is supervised. Speaker(s) are only permitted for non-UL installations. Series/parallel wire to avoid dropping
below a 4 ohm total load.
Output 3 is a Single Pole Double Throw Relay with form “C” contacts (Com, N/O, and N/C).
Outputs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are low current, positive (+) voltage only, for driving LEDs, relays, etc. Outputs 4,
5, and 6 ARE NOT available from the main board. They can only be accessed with a data bus Output expander set to
address 1. This expander will replicate main board outputs 7 thru 16, while also including outputs 4, 5, and 6.
Earth Grounding
Tests have determined that the best results against lightning and transients are obtained by isolating the control from ground.
Do NOT connect any of the terminals, especially the Neg. terminals to earth ground. Early production boards had an earth
ground terminal. This terminal is no longer used on circuit board revision I or later. However, ancilliary devices such as the
ELK-950 Surge Protector on the incoming Telephone circuit are still recommended.
Keypad & Expanders on the RS-485 Data Bus (+VKP, Data A, Data B, Neg)
Keypads and data bus expander devices connect to the four terminals marked +VKP, Data A, Data B, and Neg. The keypad
plug-in wire harness color code is: Red +VKP, Green Data A, White Data B, and Black (-) Neg. The +VKP power terminal is
protected by an auto reset PTC device. In the event of a short circuit or malfunction, power will be removed from all devices
until the problem is resolved.

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. Every data bus device; keypad, zone
expander, etc. and the control board has a built-in bus terminating resistor (120 Ohm) which is installed (activated) via a 2 pin
header/jumper (2 Gold Pins). The hardware pack includes two black shorting caps. When one of the shorting caps is placed
on the two gold pins, it installs (activates) the 120 Ohm terminating resistor across Data Lines A & B. Terminating resistors
are marked JP2 on the keypads and JP1 on the expanders. From the factory, no terminating resistors are installed (activated).
WARNING! The RS-485 Data Bus must NEVER have more than 2 terminating resistors header/jumpers installed.
Ideally, there should be no more than 2 home run cables (4 wire) with daisy chained devices along each. The last device on each cable
MUST have a terminating resistor installed (activated) via the gold 2 pin header/jumpers marked JP2 on keypads, JP1 on expanders. Place a
black shorting cap (see hardware pack) onto the 2 gold pins to install a 120 Ohm resistor across data lines A & B. If there is only 1 data bus
cable place a shorting cap on JP3 of Main Board. See alternate hookups below.
For those that prefer to home run wires, use 6 or 8 conductor (CAT5 is ideal) cable. At each device, make a three way splice of the data A, the
device A wire (terminal), and a return data A1 wire (using one of the extra wires). At the control, make a two way splice of the data A1 return
wire (series connection) to the outgoing data A wire of the next cable. Repeat for the data B wire. Remember to install a terminating jumper on
the last wired device and the control JP3 ONLY! Electrically the data wires are now in series. Connect the POS (+) and Neg (-) power wires of
each device directly to the M1’s +VKP and Neg terminals. DO NOT SERIES THE POWER WIRES as this will cause unnecessary voltage loss.
The ELK-M1DBH † Data Bus Hub accepts CAT5 or CAT6 cable with RJ45 plugs on the ends and does all the work of series connecting the
DATA lines A & B. Terminate at the hub using the included RJ45 Terminating Plug in the first unused jack.

Setting the Data Bus Address and Enrolling Device(s) into the System
Keypads and expander devices communicate over the RS-485 4-wire data bus. Each device must have a unique address
setting (from 1 to 16) within it's device type. Keypads are TYPE 1, input (zone) expanders TYPE 2, output expanders TYPE 3, etc.
The purpose of device types is so that the address numbers can be re-used in each different device type. It’s OK to have a
Keypad, Zone Expander, and Output Expander all set to address 2 and on the same data bus since each device is a different
device type. It is NOT OK to have duplications of addresses within the same device type. I.E. Multiple keypads on the same
control cannot be set to 'like' addresses.
ADDRESS: From the factory all keypads are set to address 1. Valid addresses are 1 to 16. The first keypad on the system
(Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional keypad must be assigned a unique address and then
manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. (See Menu 01, for complete instructions on Bus Module Enrollment)
1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays:
Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)
NOTE: An alternate method is to remove power from the keypad and then power up while holding any key pressed.
2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.
3. Set the desired address (from 1 to 16) by using the Up or Down arrow keys.
4. Press the Exit key twice when done.

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. This section gives an overview of powering up and basic keypad functioning.
2.2 Powering Up (One Keypad)
After all other connections have been made and checked thoroughly, the controls AC transformer and battery may be
connected. Upon power up the control will perform self-diagnostics and auto-enroll the first keypad (Keypad Address #1). Any
additional keypads or expanders must be manually enrolled using Installer Level Programming. See “Menu 01 - Bus Module
Enrollment”.
NOTE: It is very important to make certain that every keypad, input expander, output expander, or any other data bus
device be assigned a unique data bus address within its type. See “MENU 01 - Bus Module Enrollment” for instructions
on setting keypad and expander addresses.
2.3 User Codes and Authorities
Each user code may be assigned specific authorities as to what it is allowed to do. The authorities are assigned from the
Installer level programming, however the code digits and user names are assigned from the keypad user menu 6 - Change
User Codes. Only a Master authority level code or the Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s
Guide contains a description of operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer
passcode are slightly different.
Factory Default for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code) (1 2 3 4 5 6 if the six digit code option is enabled)
User code may be used for functions in a specific area or system-wide. Some options may be performed at any time, even
while the control is fully or partially armed. The menu system is designed to be next-step-oriented. After a brief explanation of
the options, the user should be able to begin operating the system immediately. For purposes of discussion, the installer and
the end consumer are both considered users, but have different capabilities.
2.4 Installer Program Code and Authorities
The installer code can access all the keypad user menus and has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any
area and disarm any area as long as the area WAS NOT armed by a user code. The Installer code can silence 24hr alarms
or a Burglary alarms in an area that was armed by the installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code can silence
a trouble condition in a disarmed area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.
Factory Default for the Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9
CAUTION: If a 4 digit User Code matches the last 4 digits of the Installer Code (or the whole code if 6 digit User
Code option is enabled), the control will deny access to installer program mode. If this occurs, use the Master
User Code to access menu 6 and locate the “offending” User Code, then change its digits to something new.

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. If a force armed zone becomes secure while system is armed, it will automatically
restore to service. This is handy for a garage door as system may be armed with the door up, but will secure when door closes.
Armed Light- ON when the system is armed. The mode of arm will be indicated by the LCD display and the Exit or Stay lighted pushbuttons.
This light will be OFF when the system is disarmed.
Exit Key - May be programmed for single or double press arming to the AWAY (not occupied) mode. If ON the system is armed and all
perimeter sensors and interior motions are active. The Away key may be pressed during the exit delay time t to convert from Away to Away
Vacation mode. Vacation mode is primarily for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of Elk-RP for long term energy savings.
Stay Key - May be programmed for single or double press arming to the STAY (occupied) mode. If ON the system is armed and all interior
zones are excluded (bypassed). Only perimeter doors and windows are active in the Stay mode. This key may also be programmed to
change to other Stay modes such as: Stay Instant, Stay Night, and Stay Night Instant. Since interior zones are automatically excluded once
the Stay mode is activated, the M1 allows this key to Stay arm even while one or more interior zones are violated, provided they are pro-
grammed for “force arming”. The Stay Night mode re-activates any interior night zones. To prevent a false alarm the control will not allow
change to the Stay Night mode when a interior night zone is violated unless it is programmed for “Force arm”.

Code
From this menu you may press the RIGHT arrow to enter Installation Level Programming. If
the Installer Programming Code has not already been entered it will be required at this
time. REFERTOPAGE20 FOR PROGRAMMINGINSTRUCTIONS
Menu 0 - Select Keypad Alternate Area - Multi-area (Partition) Operation
Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu and display the following:
Enter a valid user code. The control does not allow (restricts) mapping or viewing of
areasthat are notauthorized for the user code.
MAPPING TO AN INDIVIDUAL AREA
Enter an area number from 1 to 8 OR scroll UP and DOWN with the arrow keys.
Press the Right Arrow key to map the Keypad to the area shown. The LCD display and
the Ready /Armed LEDs will show the status for the mapped area for 1 minute. During
this minute, it is possible to arm, disarm, bypass, etc. the mapped area from this
keypad. Each time a key is pressed the 1 minute is restarted. However, after 1 minute
of no keypress activity, the keypad will return to its original primary assigned area.
ACCESSINGACONSOLIDATED DISPLAYOFALLVALIDAREAS
Entering “0” for the area number immediately maps the Keypad to a consolidated
‘snapshot’of all authorized areas. This permits quick arming and disarming only. If an
area is not ready to arm it will be necessary to map individually to that area to view the
violatedzone(s) andeither secureor bypassthem priorto arming.
This example shows all 8 areas, meaning that the User Code was valid for all 8.
The display only shows the areas for which the user code is authorized.
Notethe letterbeneath each areanumber.
Thismenu allows thekeypad tobe mapped temporarilyto anyother area, allowing multi-area (partitioned)opera-
tion. An individually mapped area can be armed, disarmed, and controlled just as if the keypad were permanently
assigned to that area. It may also be used to access a consolidated display of all areas at once, showing the
status of each area.
To reach the keypad menus press the center navigation key labeled “ELK”. Auser code may be required depend-
ing on how the control is programmed. The four arrow keys around the Elk key are used to scroll, backup, etc.
Pressing the RIGHT arrow key will select the displayed menu.

2. Use the UPor DOWN arrow keys to find menu “0-Select KeypadAlternateArea”.

[Area Name] A1
The single upper case “X” indicates the primary area. This area is controlled exclusively from
theregular operationscreens.
Alower case “r” below an area indicates the area is Ready toArm.
Alower case “n” below an area indicates the area is Not Ready.
Aupper case “A” below an area indicates the area isArmed.
This example shows the user code was only authorized for areas 1, 2, and 3. The
unauthorizedarea(s)have a“-”belowthem.
To change or ‘toggle’ the arm status of an area, press the number key representing
the area number. IMPORTANT: The area status is not “real time”. It is a snapshot
taken when the RIGHT arrow key was pressed. If a zone has since become violated
the area will still be displaying “r”, however the letter will immediately change to “n”
and the keypad will emit an error tone when an attempt is made to arm by pressing
the area number. When finished, press the “*” key to exit.

NOTE: The ElkRP software can be used to lockout certain local program capabilities for “anti-takeover” purposes. The
number in the lower right corner of this menu will indicate the level of lockout as follows: (0) = No lockout, (1)=Lockout
Telephone number programming - view everything, (2)=Lockout ALL programming - view everything, (3)=Lockout ALL
Programming and Viewing. This can only be set or removed from the ELK-RP Remote Programming Software.

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. After just a short amount of experience the average installer will not even require an instruction manual to
keypad program the control.
For the Automation functionality the ELK-RP PC Software is a requirement. The options and capabilities available for
automation are so unique and powerful that it takes a PC to make use of all the benefits. The M1 features a powerful
“Whenever/And/Then” RULES based programming that allows almost any imaginable operation.
3.2 Local Keypad Programming
There are two levels of operation for programming the control locally, user level and installer level.
- User level programming provides the ability to add, change, or delete user passcodes and names. It also allows custom
automation settings to be viewed and changed. A master user code is required to access the user code and custom settings
screens. User programming is explained in the User’s Guide.
- Installer level programming allows total customizing of the Security operating features. Only the installer code may access
this level. If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it is impossible to program the control locally. Anyone attempting installer
level programming should be familiar with the contents of this publication prior to programming the control panel. If remote
programming is used, it is possible to “lock out” or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company by selecting
“Lockout Local Prog.” This prevents the installer passcode from gaining access to programming via an LCD keypad. The
installer passcode may still be used for the non-programming functions described in Chapter 2. Lockout Local Prog does not
affect remote programming.
3.3 Local or Remote Computer Programming (ELK-RP) and Anti-Takeover
ELK-RP programming utilizes extensive error checking and security safeguards, including data encryption, password log-on,
serial number, and dealer assigned RP access code. The serial # identifies the control to RP while the RP access code
identifies the computer to the control prior to a programming session. RP loads the access code during the first connection. It
cannot be viewed or changed from local keypad programming. In addition to these safeguards, you can set an anti-takeover
option from RP which prevents certain keypad programming. Even a total default of the panel programming cannot reset the
anti-takeover option once it is set..
The Factory Default Elk-RP Access Code is: 2 4 6 8 0 1
NOTE: UL requires that a Technician be On-Site when doing Remote Programming.
3.4 Area Partitioning
The control may be divided into 1 to 8 independent areas (partitions). Each area appears as a full-featured system, allowing
one control to be shared by multiple, independent departments within a common structure. Zones, User Codes, and
Keypads may be assigned to any 1 area up to the maximum number available. An example is a single building divided into
room(s) to be armed/disarmed separately. Mount the control in a secure area (common utility closet) with dedicated and
uninterrupted AC power and telephone service. Then assign zones, codes, and keypads to each department.
Output 1 siren/voice activates on all alarms, regardless of the area. The RP Software Rules can be used create additional
(separate) outputs. When reporting to the central station events like AC Power Failure, Automatic tests, Low Battery, etc., are
considered system reports and are transmitted using the Area 1 account number. If area partitioning is not desired, simply
designate all zones to a single area (Area 1) which is the factory default setting for zones 1-16.
COMMON AREA - Another popular feature is the ability to have one or more areas made “common” to Area 1. This is often
referred to as a “Vestibule Feature”. Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot be
armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any common area becomes disarmed. This
is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or more people. Each area must have its own keypad. NOTE: If you want
Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a Whenever/And/Then rule from the RP
software to do this.

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.
1. 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.
Option 03: Program the telephone number digits to be dialed. No special start or ending characters are required.
Option 04: Set the dial attempts to greater than 0. For Digital reports 8 is suggested. For Voice the max. is 2.
Option 05 Program the digits for the account number to report. Each area (partition) has its own Acct. Number.
Option 13: Select Yes to have Area info, Zone Alarms, Zone Restores, and Zone Unbypasses reported to this Tel #.
Option 14: Select Yes if you wish to have Zone Bypasses reported to this Tel #.
Option 15: Select Yes if you wish to have Zone Troubles reported to this Tel #.
Option 16: Select Yes if you wish to have User (Open/Close) Reports reported to this Tel #.
Option 17: Select Yes if you wish to have Global System Events (AC Fail, Low Battery, etc.) reported to this Tel #.
Option 18: Although not required, you may program a text name for each telephone number.
2. Under Menu 09 - Area Reporting Codes, select the area (partition) and program the desired options such as: Dialer
Delay, Alarm Abort,Auto Open/Closings, etc. then .
3. Under Menu 10 - Zone Reporting Codes, select the zone number and program the desired options such as: Zone Alarms,
Restores, Bypasses, or Trouble.
Option A: For Zone Alarm program a two digit code. To have the automatic SIA or Contact ID report codes transmitted
simply program a nonzero value. I.E. Program a 1 (01).
Option R: For Zone Restore program a two digit code. For automatic SIA or Contact ID codes program a 1 (01).
Option B: For Zone Bypass program a two digit code. For automatic SIA or Contact ID codes program a 1 (01).
Option T: For Zone Trouble program a two digit code. For automatic SIA or Contact ID codes program a 1 (01).
4. Under Menu 11 - F Key Reporting Codes, select and program the alarm code for each desired Keypad Panic Key. NOTE:
Keypad Panics only have Alarm report codes, they do not have restore codes. For automatic SIA or Contact ID codes
program a 1 (01).
5. Under Menu 12 - Sys Report Code Options & Codes, select and program each desired option such as: AC Fail, Low
Battery, Automatic Test, and other system wide options, including the time values for certain options. For automatic SIA or
Contact ID report codes program a 1 (01).
6. Under Menu 13 - User Report Codes, select and and program an Open or Close report code for any User(s) that you
wish to track arm/disarm events, including arm/disarm by the Installer Code or Elk-RP computer.
3.6 Entering Installer Level Programming
1. Press the center ‘ELK’ key once followed by the DOWN arrow key until display reads “9-Installation Programming”. NOTE:
The keypad may beep and display the following:
2. Enterthe Installer ProgramCode when required.
Press the right arrow key to select the “Installation Programming” option.
The Factory Default Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9
For security against unauthorized programming changes, the installer code should be changed from its factory default
setting. This can be done from Menu 07 - Globals System Definitions, Option 42.
CAUTION: If a 4 digit User Code matches the last 4 digits of the Installer Code (or the whole code if 6 digit User
Code option is enabled), the control will deny access to installer program mode. If this occurs, use the Master
User Code to access menu 6 and locate the “offending” User Code, then change its digits to something new.
Once the Installer Code has been entered, the first programming menu will display and a 4 minute timer will be started.
If there is no key-press activity during this time period the control will automatically exit from the programming mode. It
iseasy tonavigate aroundand betweenthe programming menus and optionsusing theup anddown arrowkeys. When
the correct menu or option is located, press the right arrow key to proceed into that menu.
Refer to the Quick Reference Guide on the following page to locate a particular menu or to see what options
appear under each menu. Refer to the individual menus and their option descriptions for details about each of the
