APPLICATION:
The ELK-M1XSP is a "3 in 1" product. As a lighting interface, it adapts the M1 Control to many brands of Lighting control products
which use “serial" communications. As a thermostat interface, it adapts the M1 Control to HVAC Serial Communicating
Thermostats. As a serial port expander, it expands the RS-232 communication ports of the M1 to allow serial communications
with many types and brands of equipment which communicate using serial ASCII commands. i.e., Personal Computers, etc.
Jumpers on the M1XSP select the appropriate application, connection, and protocol. Most importanly, the M1XSP operates
from the 4-wire (RS-485) M1 Keypad data bus, allowing RS-232 ports to be located long distances from the control. The M1G
and M1EZ8 Controls will support up to 7 M1XSPs. The communications baud rate is adjustable from 300 to 38,400 baud. The
unit comes complete with cable and a black surface mountable housing.

M1XSP Installation Manual Page 3
General Installation and Setup
1. The M1XSP operates on the M1's Keypad data bus and may be remotely located near the equipment to which it is
interfacing. Two (2) #6 x 1/2" screws (not provided), one on each side of the black box should be used. It can also be
mounted inside the M1 cabinet using the same method OR by removing the board from the black box and installing the
board into a pair of ELK-SWG Plastic Glide brackets.
2. Before making any wiring connections, turn Off the M1 Master Power Switch.
3. Connect terminals +12V, A, B, and Neg from the M1XSP to the M1's Keypad Data Bus (terminals +VKP, Data A, Data B, &
Neg). NOTE: Refer to the M1 Installation Manual and the M1DBH information in this manual about proper
connections of data bus devices with multiple homerun cables.
4. There are 4 address switches, each with a position of OFF or ON (binary value 0 or 1) and a decimal equivalent value of
(1, 2, 4, or 8). The total decimal value of the "ON" switches equates to the data bus address. As a rule, the first M1XSP
should be set to address 1. If more than 1 M1XSP is installed, set each one to a unique (sequential) address (2, 3, etc).
IMPORTANT: Only data bus addresses 1, 2, 3, or 4 are valid when interfacing with HAI Thermostats. Data bus address 1 MUST
be selected for HAI Thermostats numbered 1 thru 4. Data bus address 2 for HAI Thermostats numbered 5 to 8. Data bus
address 3 for HAI Thermostats numbered 9 to 12. Data bus address 4 for HAI Thermostats numbered 13 to 16.
5. Set the "Mode" and "Baud" jumpers according to the desired application. Refer to the jumper settings table on the back of
this manual for a complete listing of these jumpers. In some cases the baud rate is not required as it is internally fixed
according to the mode/protocol.

M1XSP Data Bus Terminating Jumper
JP1 Used to engage a 120 Ohm resistor for
terminating the M1 RS-485 Data Bus. See
Data bus wiring instructions before use.
For an M1XSP the only valid Data Bus
Addresses are 1 thru 7 since the max.
number of M1XSPs is 7.

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 4
Steps 6 & 7 may be skipped when using the M1XSP as a Lighting or Themostat interface.
6. If the M1XSP is being used as a general purpose serial port expander then you will definetly need to set the BAUD Rate
Jumpers to the desired speed. Refer to the jumper settings table on the back of this manual.
7. As a serial port expander, the M1XSP can be connected to a PC or other communication equipment using a standard 9
pin RS-232 serial cable. Distance for an RS-232 serial cable is 10 ft. nominal, 50 ft. maximum. Since the M1XSP
operates on the M1's 4-wire Keypad Data Bus, it can be located a great distance from the M1 and thereby closer to the
other equipment so that the RS-232 length limits are not such an issue.
8. Set the RS232 or RS485 communications format jumper (JP3) according to the equipment being interfaced. In most
cases this jumper will be set to the "232" position. Refer to the jumper settings table on the back of this manual.
9. Refer to the equipment wiring diagrams on the following pages.
10. After all connections are complete, turn On the M1 Master Power Switch.
11. Enroll the M1XSP into the M1 Control. From the Keypad access the Installer level programming and select Menu 01-Bus
Module Enrollment. Press the right arrow key to start the enrollment. Onceenrollment has completed, press the right
arrow key to view results. Enrolled M1XSPs will show up as type 5 (T5) followed by the specific address number.
NOTE: To replace an defective M1XSP, set the new unit to the same address as the old unit and repeat the enrollment
process. If a device needs to be permanently removed, perform the enrollment process after removing the device,

Updating/Replacing Firmware in the ELK-M1XSP
The M1XSP stores it’s operating firmware in “Flash” memory. This state-of-the-art memory allows electronic field updates
and eliminates the old fashion method of changing IC chips or shipping boards back to the factory. As new firmware updates
become available, they will be posted on ELK’s Dealer ONLY restricted website found at www.elkproducts.com. NOTE:
Firmware updating can only be done through the M1 Control using a Direct to PC Com port connection or an optional
Ethernet Network connection. Dial-up connections cannot be used to perform firmware updates.
How to Update Firmware:
1. Physically connect the Computer and Control using either the RS-232 Serial Port 0 or the M1XEP Ethernet Interface.
3. Start ElkRP and open the account belonging to the control. Click on the Connection menu icon and establish a connec-
tion. Again, use the appropriate Direct using Com_ OR Network options.
4. On the Send/Rcv menu icon there is a selection that allows the firmware to be updated.
5. Select the device to be updated. In this case it is a Serial Expander. Select the update firmware option.
6. Display will show: Device name, current Firmware, Hardware, and Bootware version, and a pull down window for selecting
the update firmware. NOTE: All update (.bin) files downloaded or received should be stored in a directory on your com-
puter. Refer to the Options tab under the Setup menu in RP. It will indicate what directory is used for the update files.
7. Click on the check box for “Update”. If “Reprogram” or “Rollback” is displayed the firmware file is the same as OR older
that what is in the control. Reprogramming with the same firmware is a waste of time but was included for factory testing
purposes. Rollback is not recommended except under the guidance of Elk Technical Support.

1. Connect the HAI OmniStat to the HVAC system per the instructions that came with the thermostat. After re-applying power
to the HVAC and OmniStat enter the Installer Setup Mode (see the HAI manual) and program as follows:
For OmniStat series 1:
A. Set the "Thermostat Address" to a value from 1 to 16. The first unit should be address 1. If multiple thermostats are installed,
each should be set to a consecutive address, starting at 1.
B. Set the "Communications Mode" to 300 Baud.
C. Set the "Display Options" to one of the options designated as "non-programmable" (4 thru 7). This is to disable the
thermostat's internal setback time schedules so they do not override the M1 Automation commands from the M1XSP.
An alternate method is to disable specific schedules by setting their times values to "----" (1 step past the 11:45pm time set).
D. Set the "Cool Setpoint Limit" and "Heat Setpoint Limit" if desired. Effectively, the thermostat will ignore any setpoint
commands sent to it that are outside these limits.
For OmniStat series 2:
A. Set the "Thermostat Address" to a value from 1 to 16. The first unit should be address 1. If multiple thermostats are installed,
each should be set to a consecutive address, starting at 1.
B. Set the "Communications Mode" to 2400 Baud.
C. Set the "System Options" to the option appropriate to the type of heat/cool system being connected.
D. Set the "Program Options" to either "None" or "Occupancy". This disables the thermostat's internal setback time schedules so
they do not override the M1 Automation commands from the M1XSP.
E. Set the "Cool Setpoint Limit" and "Heat Setpoint Limit" if desired. Effectively, the thermostat will ignore any setpoint
commands sent to it that are outside these limits.
2. Install the ELK-M1XSP and set its data bus address from 1 to 4 using the 4-position dip switch. IMPORTANT: The data
bus address MUST be coordinated with the OmniStat address as follows:
The M1XSP data bus address MUST be 1 when connected to OmniStats addressed as 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The M1XSP data bus address MUST be 2 when connected to OmniStats addressed as 5, 6, 7, or 8.
The M1XSP data bus address MUST be 3 when connected to OmniStats addressed as 9, 10, 11, or 12.
The M1XSP data bus address MUST be 4 when connected to OmniStats addressed as 13, 14, 15, or 16.
* If M1XSPs are in use with other devices they will have to be changed to addresses other than 1 to 4.
Perform a M1 data bus enrollment after setting the M1XSP data bus address switches. Up to four (4) OmniStats may be
connected to a single M1XSP. Using four (4) M1XSPs a total of sixteen (16) OmniStats may be connected.
3. For OmniStat 2 series the M1XSP must be firmware updated to version 70.0.2 (or the latest 70.x.x version).
4. Set the M1XSP MODE jumpers to: S5=1, S6=0, S7=1, & S8=0If the M1XSP has jumper S4, set it to =1.
5. Set the M1XSP BAUD jumpers as follows:
On Omnistat 1 series the baud rate must be set for 300 baud: S1=1, S2=0, S3=0
On Omnistat 2 series we recommend setting to 2400 baud: S1=1, S2=1 S3= [see note below]
* Omnistat 2 series may alternatively be set to 300, 1200, or 9600 baud. (refer to back page)
NOTE: Baud Jumper S3 has a special purpose with OmniStat 2 series. The normal setting is S3=0. However, if it is set to
S3=1 the M1XSP will pass along thermostat data in the form of ASCII data to the Elk-M1. This has been a requested feature
by some customers. Refer to the ElkM1 ASCII Protocol document for addition details.
6. On the M1XSP set Jumper JP3 to the "232" position. Make certain that Jumper JP5 is ON. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
7. Splice the ELK-W037A serial cable (supplied) with a four conductor cable running to the OmniStat. Max. length is 500ft.
On OmniStat 1 series splice the four conductor cable to the Black, Red, Green, and Yellow four pin flying lead cable.
On OmniStat 2 series remove the factory jumper between terminals N/C and Black, then connect the four conductor cable
coming from the M1XSP according to the wiring diagram.
8. On OmniStat 2 series REMOVE Jumper J8 from the back side of the unit (if present). THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
9. Plug the ELK-WO37A cable into the 9 pin connector on the M1XSP.
10. Using the ELK-RP Software, program steps a, b, & c below. Then test and verify operation using steps d and e.
a. Select the Automation Tab in ELK-RP and pick the Thermostat icon. Program a name for each valid Thermostat.
b. Select the Task icon. Program two tasks: Name the 1st Task "Economy Mode" and the 2nd "Comfort Mode".
c. Select Rules icon and create the following 4 rules.
Whenever [Area Name] Armed State Becomes Armed Away Whenever [Economy Mode] (Task 1) Is Activated
Then Activate [Economy Mode] (Task 1) Then Set [Thermostat 1] (TStat 1) Cooling Desired Temp to 85 degrees
Whenever [Area] Armed State Becomes Disarmed Whenever [Comfort Mode] (Task 2) Is Activated
Then Activate [Comfort Mode] (Task 2) Then Set [Thermostat 1] (TStat 1) Cooling Desired Temp to 70 degrees
d. From the M1 Keypad PRESS the ELK key followed by the RIGHT arrow key to access Menu 1 - View/Control Automation
Fncts. Press 6 for the Thermostat Temperature sub-menu, followed by Right arrow key. The Keypad should now display
the Name and current temperature from Thermostat (T01).
e. Go back and select the Tasks sub-menu, then select Economy Mode (Task 1). Press the # key to activate. When this
task is activated the thermostat cooling setpoint should go to 85 degrees. Confirm this on the Thermostat display.

Lighting Controllers with RS-232 "Serial" Interfaces

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 12
OnQ ALC is a low voltage "wired" lighting technology utilizing a central ALC Master Controller Interface communicating to light
switches and scene switches over a RS-485 proprietary network. An OnQ ALC Serial interface is required for interfacing the
Master Controller Interface with the ELK-M1XSP, and then into the M1 line of controls. The M1XSP supports 31 ALC modules
(dimmers, switches on each of 4 branches for a total of 124 individually addressable ALC devices. The M1XSP also supports
ALC 4 button scene switches, provided they are wired and connected on ALC branch 1.
Integration with the M1 is accomplished by "mapping" the ALC addresses and operation to M1 Lighting devices. For example:
ALC devices 1-31 on ALC branch 1 are mapped to M1 Lighting devices 1-31. Additional ALC devices may be added by the
additional of an ALC "branch" expander board in which case..... ALC devices 1-31 on ALC branch 2 are mapped to M1 Lighting
devices 33-63. ALC devices 1-31 on ALC branch 3 are mapped to M1 Lighting devices 65-95. ALC devices 1-31 on ALC branch
4 are mapped to M1 Lighting devices 97-127. M1 Lighting devices 32, 64, 96, and 128 are reserved for activation of the ALC
"Virtual Scenes" 1 thru 4 respectively. The chart on the next page shows the M1 Lighting devices and their corresponding ALC
device mapping.
Components required for OnQ ALC integration:
- An ELK-M1 or ELK-M1EZ8 Controller.
- One (1) ELK-M1XSP Serial Port Expander. NOTE: Firmware updates may be downloaded from the ELK M1 Dealer Web site.
- One (1) OnQ ALC Master Controller #364644-01and one (1) ALC Serial Interface #364698-01. ** See NOTE below.
- One or more ALC Lighting devices.
Limitations:
The M1XSP can only support ALC 4 button scene switches wired and connected on ALC branch 1.
Setting up the M1XSP and the M1 to communicate with OnQ ALC
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. Connect the RJ45 modular to 9-pin female serial cable supplied with the OnQ ALC Serial Interface to the male DB9 9 pin
serial connector (J2) on the ELK-M1XSP. The OnQ Lighting Controller is then connected to the OnQ Serial Interface. Note:
An optional expansion module OnQ part #364726-01 is required to obtain the full capacity of 124 Switches.
3. Set the MODE Jumpers on the M1XSP as follows: S4*="1" (UP), S5="1" (UP), S6="1" (UP), S7="0" (DN), S8="0" (DN).
NOTE: Some units do not have jumper S4.
4. Set the M1XSP Jumper JP3="232". The position of BAUD jumpers S1,S2,S3 does not matter.
5. Be sure to set the address switches on the ALC switches and use the OnQ Software to program the features.
6. Power up all the devices.
7. Program the M1 Lighting device attributes utilizing the ElkRP software. Only the specific devices to be used for ALC need to
be programmed. For each individual address program the M1 Lighting device as: "Format=Serial Expander" and "Type=
Dimmer" (Type may also be programmed as "On/Off Switch" if the device isn't dimmable).
When a M1 Light device is activated from a rule or from the M1 Keypad "Automation" menu, the corresponding device command
will be sent from the M1XSP to the ALC Serial Interface.
** NOTE: As of the release date of this manual OnQ had announced plans to produce a single module designated the "Elk
Interface". While not yet officially released the OnQ part number is believed to be 364864-01. This new part combines the
OnQ ALC Interface, the ALC Serial Interface, and the ELK-M1XSP, essentially replacing three components with a single
component. More information will be released once this product is available.

M1 Lighting Devices Mapped to OnQ ALC

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 14
UPB is a PLC or Powerline Communications lighting technology. There are 2 methods for interfacing UPB to M1. First is an
ELK-M1XSP connected to a UPB PIM 'S" (RS232 Serial Program Interface Module). Second is a new product called the
ELKM1PCSPIM (or PCSPIM 'E'). This product looks like an ordinary PIM but actually contains both a PIM and M1XSP processor
module. It connects directly to the M1 Data Bus and eliminates the RS232 cord/connection. NOTE: The M1PCSPIM is internally
fixed to M1 Bus Address #7, meaning that no other M1XSP's on the bus may be set to that address. Regardless of the type of
connection, M1 supports up to 192 UPB individual addresses (dimmers, switches) and 64 UPB Links (scenes).
Integration is accomplished by "mapping" the UPB addresses and operation to M1 Lighting device entities. UPB device
addresses 1-192 map to M1 Lighting devices 1-192. UPB Links 1-64 map to M1 Lighting devices 193-256. NOTE: Links
require M1XSP firmware version 1.0.14 or higher. The chart on the next page shows the M1 Light devices and UPB mappinig.
Components required for UPB integration:
- ELK-M1 or ELK-M1EZ8 Controller and the ElkRP Programming Software.
- ELK-M1XSP Serial Port Expander. Firmware updating may be required and may be downloaded from the ELK Web site.
- UPB PIM (Programming Interface Module) { or ELKM1PCSPIM which is internally fixed to M1 Bus Address #7}
- One or more UPB Lighting devices plus the UPB PC Programming Software called "UPStart."
Setting up to communicate with UPB { Skip steps 1 - 4 if you are using the new ELKM1PCSPIM }
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. Connect the female end of the supplied 9-pin serial cable to the M1XSP and the male end to the UPB PIM Module.
3. Set the MODE Jumpers on the M1XSP as follows: S4*="1" (UP), S5="1" (UP), S6="1" (UP), S7="0" (DN), S8="1" (UP).
NOTE: Some units do not have jumper S4.
4. Set the M1XSP Jumper JP3="232". Set JP5 to ON. The position of BAUD jumpers S1,S2,S3 does not matter.
5. Power up all the devices.
6. Using the ElkRP software, open the "Globals" folder. Then go to the "G29-G42 Special" tab and program the same unique
UPB NETWORK ID into the M1 that is stored in the UPB switches.
DO NOT USE NETWORK ID 0 OR 255 AS THESE ID HAVE SPECIAL PURPOSE RESERVED BY UPB.
7. In the ElkRP software open the Automation > Lighting folder and program the M1 Lighting devices. Only the devices
specifically for UPB use will need to be programmed. For UPB individual addresses program M1 Lighting devices: 1-192
as: Format=Serial Expander, Type= Dimmer (or "On/Off Switch" if the device isn't dimmable). For UPB link addresses
program M1 Lighting devices: 193-256 as: Format= Serial Expander, Type=On/Off Switch.
When an M1 Light device is activated from a rule or from the M1 Keypad "Automation" menu, the corresponding device com-
mand will be sent onto the powerline network to the UPB Devices.
Programming the UPB devices:
The UPB UPStart Software must be used to program each UPB module with an address, a network ID, and any other options.
IMPORTANT: The UPB NETWORK ID programmed into the UPB switches MUST MATCH the UPB NETWORK ID programming
into the ElkRP software. [ElkRP Globals folder > G29-G42 Special tab. DO NOT USE NETWORK ID 0 or Network ID 255.
UPB Device Status:
In order to receive "Load Status" changes from the UPB devices, make sure to program their option bit "Transmit Changes".
LIMITATIONS - CURRENT STATUS FROM UPB MODULES
Status reports resulting from manual rocker (pushbutton) changes. - UPB devices may be optionally programmed to
broadcast (report) their individual status whenever a manual change occurs via the rocker (pushbutton) switch. This
option requires UPStart PC Software and each device must be individually programmed. Go to tab labeled "Rocker
Switch". On this tab place a checkmark in the box option labeled "Report light level after rocker switch is pressed."
Status reports resulting from UPB LINK commands. - UPB devices DO NOT and CANNOT be programmed to broad-
cast (report) their status when changed by a LINK command. Because a LINK can affect anywhere from 1 to 255
devices simultaneously, the communications protocol does not permit status reports because the entire performance of
the UPB network could be adversly affected. For this reason, the status displayed by M1 Controller may not always
match the true status of UPB devices when devices are controlled by a Link command. This is a UPB protocol issue
and there is nothing (NO WORKAROUND) that Elk can do to resolve this issue.
PC based software packages with access to lots of memory are able to memorize which UPB switches belong to each
LINK along with their programmed (expected) response to each LINK. From this they are able to either anticipate the
expected status OR poll only each affected device in order to obtain their status report. But even this is not practical
when large numbers of devices are involved in a LINK. Simply put, it can take up to 5 minutes to poll all 255 potential
UPB devices, during which network traffic and device communications would be totally swamped and messages lost.

M1 Lighting Devices Mapped to UPB
** Link (Scene) 64: When this link is activated from the M1, the M1 will automatically send a special "flash" command. All devices
are programmed to respond to Link 64 will immediately begin flashing until the link is de-activated (turned off) from the M1.
UPB - (continued)

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 16
Elegance and LiteJet - Low voltage, centrally controlled lighting. All lights to be controlled are high voltage home run back to a dimmer/relay
enclosure. This enclosure contains an MCP Processor Board with an on-board RS232 serial port for interfacing with the M1XSP. Depending on
the particular Centralite model, the M1XSP can support up to 192 individual light devices (loads) and up to 64 lighting scenes.
Centralite StarLite and JetStream - Wireless lighting control. The M1XSP interfaces to a Centralite Master Interface or RS232 Bridge which
then wirelessly controls switches installed around the building. Depending on the model, up to 96 individual light devices (loads) and up to 64
lighting scenes can be controlled.
IMPORTANT: The M1XSP requires firmware version 30.x.x to support JetStream. This firmware is downloadable from the
Elk M1Dealer website. Select the M1XSP Firmware and look for the appropriate JetStream file. Starlite utilizes standard M1XSP
firmware (same as for LiteJet), however DIP switch #7 on the Starlite MCP must be set to ON so that Starlite will know to emulate
the LiteJet protocol.
Integration:
Integration with the M1 is accomplished by "mapping" the Centralite loads to M1 Lighting devices. For example: Centralite individual load 1 is
mapped to M1 Lighting devices 1. Scenes start at M1 Lighting device 193 and go up. E.G. Scene 1 is mapped as M1 Lighting device 193. The
chart shows the M1 Lighting devices and their corresponding Centralite Load/Scenes.
Components required:
- An ELK-M1 or ELK-M1EZ8 Controller.
- One (1) ELK-M1XSP Serial Port Expander. NOTE: Firmware updates may be downloaded from the ELK M1 Dealer Web site.
- Centralite LiteJet or Elegance with MCP processor board, JetStream with RS232 Bridge, or Starlite with MCP base unit.
- One or more Centralite lighting devices and/or switches.
Setting up the M1XSP and the M1 to communicate with Elegance, LiteJet, or Starlite
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. Connect the 9-pin serial cable between the M1XSP and serial connector on the Centralite MCP processor board marked "RS232-2".
3. Set M1XSP MODE Jumpers to: S4="1" (UP), S5="1" (UP), S6="1" (UP), S7="1" (UP), S8="0" (DN). NOTE: Some units do not have jumper
S4.
4. Set the M1XSP Jumper JP3="232". The position of BAUD jumpers S1,S2,S3 does not matter.
5. Power up all the devices.
6. Program the M1 Lighting device attributes utilizing the ElkRP software. Only the specific devices to be used for Centralite need to be
programmed. For individual addresses program M1 Lighting devices: 1-192 "Format=Serial Expander" and "Type= Dimmer" (Type
may also be programmed as "On/Off Switch" if the device isn't dimmable). For the scene addresses program M1 Lighting
devices: 193-256 as "Format= Serial Expander", "Type=On/Off Switch".
Load Status and/or Limitations with Elegance and LiteJet:
- The wallplate "button press" feature with LiteJet & Elegance is not directly usable with M1. However, by assigning a button to a load, even
a phantom (non-physical) load, it may be possible to use the status change of that load as a trigger with M1.
- To receive load status changes from Centralite the M1XSP MUST have firmware ver 1.0.14 or later and the Centralite Main Processor
MCP MUST have firmware ver 5.5 or later. There is a status Dipswich that must be set on the MCP. On the Elegance MCP Dipswitch
#5 must be set to ON. On the LiteJet MCP Dipswitch #6 must be set to ON. NOTE: DO NOT software program the load option to "send
changes". The Dipswitch settings will take care of this feature. Note: Version 5.5 or later of the Centralite firmware places a 1
second delay between each load change transmission. This means that multiple load changes can and will take several
seconds to reach the M1. An ALL ON command could take well over a minute for all loads to report in.
- Please note that under some conditions it may not be possible to obtain instantaneous real time lighting status updates.
Setting up the M1XSP and the M1 to communicate with JetStream
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. Download M1XSP firmware 30.x.8 (or later) from the Elk M1Dealer website and flash update the M1XSP. IMPORTANT!
3. Connect the 9-pin serial cable between the M1XSP and serial connector on the JetStream RS232 Bridge.
4. The M1XSP MODE Jumpers S1 to S8 are NOT APPLICABLE with this firmware and do not need to be changed or set.
5. Set the M1XSP Jumper JP3="232". The position of BAUD jumpers S1,S2,S3 does not matter.
6. If there is a shorting Jumper on JP5 remove it.
7. Power up all the devices.
6. Program the M1 Lighting device attributes utilizing the ElkRP software.
JetStream Configuration, Load Status and Limitations:
1. Install the JetStream devices into a "network" and program them using the JetStream USB programming dongle.
Follow the User's or Programming guide which came with the CentraLite JetStream system.
2. Add the RS-232 Bridge to the network. Refer to the section titled “Bringing the RS-232 Bridge into the Network” and “Configuring the
RS-232 Bridge for Your Area". Also the section “Third Party Control”. Verify that the baud rate for the RS232 bridge is set for 19200.
3. To get status updates the following steps MUST be performed:
a. Select the RS-232 Bridge in the Device List on the left hand side of the JetStream Software.
b. Check the box labeled “Update Third Party.”
4. Once step 4 has been completed there will be a new checkbox option available on each lighting device page. This option will be labeled
"Send T-Party". Check this box for any and all devices that status report is desired.
5. IMPORTANT! Click Send Device or Send All to make sure all devices are updated with the latest changes.

M1 Lighting Devices Mapped to Centralite
Centralite - (continued)
Partial Recap of Centralite Commands sent from the M1XSP:
^Annn<cr>=Load ON
^Bnnn<cr>=Load Off
^Cnnn<cr>=Scene On
^Dnnn<cr>=Scene Off
^Ennnllrr<cr>=Load, Level, & Ramp Rate. "nnn" is the load/scene 001-256, "ll" is the dim Level 00-99, and "rr" is the ramp rate 00-31.

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 18
Requirements: ELK-M1XSP Interface with firmware 1.0.14 or greater, 9 pin Serial Cable, Lutron (1st Generation) RA-RS232
Serial Interface, Dimmers, Keypads, etc. Operation limited to Phantoms, Zones, Security Flash/Solid, & Master Ctrl Buttons.
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. The M1XSP jumper settings should be: JP3=232 position and JP5=ON, Mode Jumper S4=1 (not all boards have S4 jumper)
S5=0, S6=1,S7=1, and S8=0. BAUD jumpers S1,S2, & S3 do not matter as the Lutron baud rate is preset internally.
3. Plug a standard 9-pin Serial Cable (not included) between the Lutron RA-RS232 DB-9F (female) connector and the
M1XSP DB-9M (male) connector.
4. Follow the instructions in the Lutron RA-RS232 "Setup and Installation Guide". Activate the RS232 interface (pages 8 & 9).
Assign Phantom Buttons as Rooms or Scenes (pages 12 to 25). Assign Zone Numbers if direct control or feedback of an
individual zone (device) is desired (pages 26 to 28). Turn Hardware Handshaking OFF by following the instructions on
pages 33 and 34. Test the Phantom Button On or Off function locally from the RA-RS232 interface (page 42).
5. Use the ELK-RP software to configure the LIGHTING setup for the M1 to control the Lutron Radio RA devices.
Operation with Lutron RadioRA
Operation with Lutron RadioRA is based on "mapped" assignments to M1 Lighting Devices 1 to 256. Commands to Lutron
include: Phantom Button Presses, Direct Zone Control, and Security Mode activation. An M1 rule OR the Keypad "Automation-
Lighting" menu can be used to: A) Turn On or Off any of the phantom buttons 1-15 via M1 Lights 1-15. All Phantoms may be
turned On or Off at once via M1 Light 16. B) Turn On or Off any individual Lutron zone 1 to 32 (+32 additional zones with a
Lutron "bridged" system). C) Set dimmers to specific levels (via rules only). D) Activate the 5 minute timed Security Flash or
Security Solid modes assigned to the 15 phantoms. As for received "status" messages from Lutron zones, they can be used
to trigger M1 rules. Received state changes from unused Lutron Master Control unit buttons (limited to 7 button models) can
be used to trigger M1 rules, provided they are not assigned to any other function. The chart on the next page and the following
paragraphs explain how the M1 Light Devices correspond to various Lutron capablities.
M1 Light Devices 1 to 15 correspond to Lutron RA Phantom Buttons 1 to 15 (Rooms / Scenes) respectively. Whenever one
of these 15 M1 Lighting Devices is turned On or Off its corresponding Lutron phantom button is turned On or Off. For each
of these devices program the Format to "Serial Expander", the Type to "On/Off Switch", and the Name to describe each
phantom button. Each Lutron phantom button (maximum of 15) can control multiple lights.
M1 Light Device 16 corresponds to Lutron RA Phantom Buttons 16 and 17 (All On / All Off) respectively. Program the name
for light device 16 as "All On/Off". Set the Format to "Serial Expander" and Type to "On/Off Switch". Activating M1 lighting 16
'On' it will send Phantom 16. Activating M1 Lighting 16 'Off" will send Phantom 17.
M1 Light Devices 17 to 31 correspond to Lutron RA Security Flash Mode for Phantom Button 1 to 15 respectively. M1 Light
17 can be be used to Flash (for 5 minutes) any light(s) assigned to phantom button 1. Phantom 1 will continue flashing for
5 minutes. Program the Format to "Serial Expander", the Type to "On/Off Switch", and the Name describing each phantom.
M1 Light Device 32 corresponds to Lutron RA Security Flash Mode All On / All Off (Phantom Buttons 16 and 17). Activating
M1 Light 32 'On" will Flash (for 5 minutes) ALL LIGHTS that are assigned to phantom buttons. Activating M1 Light 32 'Off'
will turn off Flash mode and return ALL LIGHTS assigned to phantom buttons to their previous levels. Program the Format
to "Serial Expander", the Type to "On/Off Switch", and the Name as "Flash On/Off"..
M1 Light Devices 33 to 64 correspond to the first 32 Lutron RA Lighting Dimmer/switch Zones (1 to 32) in an single
"unbridged" system (S1). It is possible to expand Lutron RA with a second system (S2) using a term call "bridging".
Consult Lutron for more information. In a "bridged" environment, M1 Light Devices 65 to 96 correspond to the second 32
Lutron RA Lighting Dimmer/Switch Zones (1 to 32). For each zone to be utilized, program the Format to "Serial Expander",
the Type to "Dimmer", and the Name to represent the zone being controlled. NOTE: While Lutron does not specifically
recommend or require zone number assignment, the advantage of zoning is that it provides direct individual control
including On, Off, and Dim, as well as status respond/feedback which can be also be used by M1 to trigger rules.
M1 Light Devices 97 to 111 correspond to Lutron RA Security Solid Mode for Phantom Buttons 1 to 15 respectively. M1 Light
97 can be used to turn On Solid (for 5 minutes) any light(s) assigned to phantom buttom 1. They remain On for 5 minutes.
Program the Format to "Serial Expander", the Type to "On/Off Switch", and the Name describing each phantom.
M1 Light Device 112 corresponds to Lutron RA Security Solid Mode All On / All Off (Phantom Buttons 16 and 17). Activating
M1 Light 112 'On' turns On Solid (for 5 minutes) ALL LIGHTS that are assigned to phantom buttons. Activating M1 Light 112
'Off' turns Off Solid mode and returns ALL LIGHTS assigned to phantom buttons to their previous levels. Program the
Format to "Serial Expander", the Type to "On/Off Switch", and the name as "Solid On/Off".
M1 Light Devices 113 thru 144 correspond to the first 32 Lutron RA Window Treatment Zones (1 to 32) in an single
"unbridged" system (S1). In a "bridged" environment, M1 Light Devices 145 to 176 correspond to the second 32 Lutron RA
Window Treatment Zones (1 to 32). For each zone to be utilized, program the Format to "Serial Expander", the Type to
"Dimmer", and the Name to represent the zone being controlled.

M1 Lighting Devices Mapped to Lutron Radio RA
M1 Light Devices 177 thru 248 correspond to Lutron RA buttons on Master Control units 1 thru 12. Unused (unassigned)
buttons can be used, with restrictions, to initiate rule triggers in the M1. Buttons that are already assigned to activate or
display phantoms or zones SHOULD NOT BE USED as rule triggers simply because the state of the button can be out-of-
sync with the M1, preventing a transition change from occurring. NOTE: Master Control units buttons are Receive ONLY.
The M1 cannot directly activate or control any of the Master Control unit buttons.

M1XSP Installation Manual
Page 20
INSTEON requires a special firmware version in the M1XSP. This firmware must be downloaded from the ELK M1
Dealer Web site and "flash" programmed in the field using Elk-RP. The firmware version can be identified by its unique
first two digits being 50, example 50.0.16. This special firmware does not support any other manufacturer or protocol.
INSTEON is a Powerline Communications "PLC" technology. Numerous device types are available; such as Light Switches,
Lamp Modules, Appliance Modules, Keypads, etc. A unique feature of INSTEON is the availability of RF signal enhancers or
"Bridges" that can extend signal range as well as provide power line signal coupling.
There are three (3) ways to interface INSTEON with an M1 Control:
1) INSTEON Interface > Powerlinc Modem (PLM p/n 2412S) communicating to a ISY Controller produced by Universal Devices
Inc. The ISY connects to the M1Control over a LAN network, utilizing Elk's M1XEP Ethernet Adapter. NO ELK-M1XSP is
required if using an ISY Controller. This is perhaps the easiest and most powerful way to interface with INSTEON, as it
offers Computer setup and management of the devices in a powerful and easy to use Graphical User environment
2) INSTEON Interface > Powerlinc Modem (PLM p/n 2412S) communicating directly to an ELK-M1XSP Serial Adapter. See
instructions that follow.
3) INSTEON Interface > Powerlinc Serial Controller (PLC p/n 2414S - obsolete - no longer sold) communicating directly to an
ELK-M1XSP Serial Adapter. NOTE: At this time the M1XSP firmware and instructions still support this obsolete interface,
however no technical support is provided and there are no guarantees of future compatibility. One current requirement in
order to use the PLC p/n 2414S is that it be marked as V2 rev 1.6 (or greater), with firmware 2.12 or later, and it must have
the Smarthome SALad program titled "timerCoreApp" loaded. This was generally preloaded in production.
The M1 control family supports up to 192 individually addressable INSTEON Devices and up to 63 Scenes or Groups. Individual
addresses 1-192 are mapped into the M1 architecture as lighting devices 1 to 192. Groups 1-63 are mapped in as lighting
devices 193-255. For example, to turn on INSTEON Group 1 it would be necessary to turn on M1 Lighting device 193. An
attached chart outlines the M1 Lighting devices and their corresponding INSTEON devices.
Limitations: (Without the use of "third party" hardware/software the following limitations apply)
- INSTEON devices can only be "linked" (learned) into the M1XSP starting at the first M1 Lighting device 001 (A1). Using just
the M1XSP there is no way to have devices start at a specific location.
- INSTEON devices cannot be removed or re-arranged individually. If it becomes necessary to remove or re-arrange any
linked devices the entire memory must be cleared and all devices re-linked (learned) again.
- Once an M1XSP has been linked with INSTEON devices, any updating to the firmware in that M1XSP will cause all memory
of linked addresses to be erased, requiring all devices to be re-linked (learned) again.
- INSTEON devices do not initiate a report of their dim level status to the M1. However, they can initiate reports of their full ON
or full OFF status changes. Refer to the section titled "Load Status Communications".
- The M1XSP is capable of sending commands to Groups 1 thru 62, but only if you have a way to setup the groups.
NOTE: "Third Party" hardware/software such as the ISY Controller by Universal Devices, Inc. PowerHome, and others
can overcome some limitations such as the starting addresses, removing or moving of devices, Group setup, etc.
Setting up an M1XSP and the M1 to communicate with INSTEON
1. Install the ELK-M1XSP per the instructions on page 3. Be sure to enroll the device into the M1.
2. Update the firmware in the M1XSP or verify that it is running the latest firmware for INSTEON.
3. Connect a serial adapter cable between the INSTEON Interface (P/N 2412S PLM or P/N 2414S PLC - obsolete) and the 9
pin male serial connector (J2) on the ELK-M1XSP. This cable should have been included with the INSTEON Interface.
4. Plug the INSTEON Interface into an available wall outlet.
5. Set the BAUD and MODE Jumpers on the M1XSP:
Typical Jumper Settings: S1= 1 , S2= 1 , S3= 1, S4= 1, S5= 0, S6= 1, S7= 0, S8= 1
a. Jumper S7 set to "0" position (down) is for operation with the PLM 2412S.
For operation with the obsolete PLC 2414S interface this jumper would be set to "1".
b. Jumper S1 = "1" is for normal operation. This jumper can also be used to clear memory. See note below.
c. Jumper S2 = "1" Do NOT change this jumper.
d. Jumper S3 = "1" is used to disable polling. Setting S3 = "0" will enable polling (normally not used or recommended).
e. Jumper S5 = "0" sets ELK lighting devices 193 to 255 as reserved for INSTEON Group #'s 1 to 63.
Setting S5 = "1" sets ELK lighting devices 193 to 254 as reserved for individual X-10 devices M1 to P14.
f. Jumper S6 = "1" Do NOT change this jumper.
NOTE: Should it become necessary to clear (erase) ALL of the linked INSTEON IDs from the M1XSP memory:
1. Power down the M1XSP
2. Set Jumper S1 = "0" (down)
3. Power up the M1XSP and wait 5 seconds.
4. Power down the M1XSP.
5. Set Jumper S1 = "1" (up) and reapply power to the M1XSP.
