ElkGuard is a fully self contained security system. It features an on-board motion sensor, loud siren, and

wirelessreceiver for remote sensors andArm/Disarm keyfobs. There areseveral power options, including “AC

Power” primary and “Battery Only” modes. In the “Battery Only” mode ElkGuard is capable of operating for up

to 3 months between recharges, depending upon activity and communication options selected. The ability to

operate for long periods of time withoutAC power sets ElkGuard apart from its competitors and means less

maintenance for the customer. ElkGuard is manufactured to world class standards using the latest surface

mount technology and state of the art in-circuit probe testers, together with strict process controls and

adherenceto an ISO9001 QualityAssurance Program, ensuring a quality product and a long service life.

ElkGuard is available with our without a Cellular GSM radio communicator. The GSM radio allows ElkGuard to

communicate to a central monitoring station wirelessly, making it totally independent of landline phones.This

featurealone affords ElkGuard with unprecedented easeof installation and portability.

Completecontrol of the ElkGuard is available fromwaterproof remote wireless keyfobs, which provides theuser

with separate on and off buttons plus a panic button.

ElkGuard not only visually reports all events to the user via its large, bright alphanumeric display, it actually

speaks to the user to report events and advises on the action to take.

ElkGuard contains the latest microprocessor technology ensuring the highest level of security and

dependability. The wireless keyfobs utilize proprietary encryption algorithms to remove the risk of code

duplication by would be intruders though the use of “Code Grabbers.” Detection devices such as wireless

passiveinfrared detectors and wireless reed switches also offer a high level of security through the use of

programmablesupervision techniques and constant monitoringof their battery condition.

ElkGuard also helps resolve the growing issue of manpower and experience when it comes to installation.A

basic install can be completed in minutes using only a screwdriver to mount the equipment. Minimal

programmingis required allowing a comprehensive system to be installedin under one hour.

Mounting

Select a mounting location for the ElkGuard in a main area of the building or home with consideration of the

followingrecommendations:

1) ElkGuard needs to be high enough in the corner of the room for the motion detector to cover the most

space possible. The ideal mounting height is at least 70" from the floor to the bottom of the unit.

2) The Cellular GSM Radio version of ElkGuard requires access to a nearby GSM transmission tower. It

cannot function without adequate signal strength. Some buildings or locations may not be conducive to

GSM coverage OR the location within the building may so critical that the location of ElkGuard will need to

be adjusted to obtain the best possible signal strength.

3) Even thoughElkGuard is capable of operating on battery for 3 between recharges (in Battery Only mode),

connection to anAC electrical outlet (if available) is certainly a good practice as it would eliminate the need

to remember to periodically recharge the unit manually.

Figure1

The design of the ElkGuard makes it ideal for mounting in the corner of a room or to any flat surface. Adifferent

set of mounting holes are used when mounting the unit in a corner versus a flat surface as illustrated in Figure 3

onthefollowingpage.

To access the mounting holes first remove the speaker grill by holding the main unit and pulling the speaker

grill away from the main cover at the top using the opening tab as shown below.

Next, remove the display face plate by holding the main unit and pulling the face plate away from the main unit

using the opening tabs located on each side of the face plate as shown below.

Figure2

Page6 ElkGuardInstallation&Programming Manual V1.2

After removing the speaker grill and faceplate, position the unit on the wall vertically level where it will be

mounted and mark the appropriate mounting holes. This will indicate where to drill the holes for the anchors.

Use a 3/8" drill bit.

Squeeze the anchor tabs down and press the anchor into the hole. The anchors will fit tight so try not to bend

the anchor. Repeat for all of the holes you drilled.

When all the mounting anchors are in place, insert the screws through the mounting holes and into the

anchors. Do not overtighten the screws. Anchors can be stripped out if screws are over tightened.

Snap the speaker grill and display face plate back into place.

After mounting the unit, plug in theAC transformer for 24 hours. This will ensure the onboard battery is fully

charged.

NOTE:

The two (2) factory

supplied Keyfobs are

stored behind the

removable lower

faceplate.

Start Up

To power up ElkGuard insert one of the two round barrel keys into the lock on the bottom edge of the unit. Turn

the key clockwise 1/4 turn and the unit will momentarily display its Version Number, follwed shortly thereafter

by “Learn”. If the unit was previously in any state other than disarmed, this mode will time out in 30 seconds.

During this time the triggers for the main motion detector are ignored. After the time has expired the unit will

resumethe mode quietly (without usual arming sounds).

Version Number

Upon initial power up the display will show the current firmware version of the unit. The first production units

began at version 1.0. Please note that any modifications or additional features as a result of a firmware version

change will be highlighted or noted within this manual..

User Modes

ElkGuard has four different modes, DISARMED,ARMED, STAY, and STAY2. This allows the user to set

different levels of security when they are home or away. It is very easy to scroll through the available armed

modes by pressingArm/Lock key on the keyfob multiple times. To disarm simply press the Disarm/Unlock

key on the keyfob. The chart below suggests the type of sensor definition that should be used for specific

protection areas and also illustrates in whichArm Mode the sensor definitions will be active.

NOTE: ElkGuard will not permit arming to the STAY or STAY2 modes if no sensors are defined

as INT or NTINT. Refer to the programming section of this manual for more information.

SENSOR DEFINITIONS

INT - This is for interior sensors that are intended to be ACTIVE with the System in the ARMED mode but NOT

ACTIVE in the STAY or STAY2 modes. Typically used for PIR motion sensors.

NTINT - This is for specific Interior Sensors that are to be Active with the system in the ARMED and STAY modes

but NOT ACTIVE in the STAY2 mode. Typically this should only be used for sensors in unoccupied

areas (high security areas) because they will be Active in the STAY mode and a false alarm could occur

if someone accidentally crossed into the area.

PERIM - This is for Perimeter Sensors (doors and windows) that are to be Active always when the system is in

the ARMED, STAY, and STAY2 modes.

CHIME - This is currently usable for NON ALARM Sensors and is only active when the ElkGuard is in a

DISARMED state.

ICHIME, NCHIIME, PCHIME - As shown below, these 3 Sensor definitions provide various reactions depending

upon the current mode or state of the ElkGuard.

Alarms

Intruder Alarms

Activation of the intruder alarm will cause the internal siren to sound for the programmed time. An optional

external speaker may also be wired to ElkGuard for additional sound. Also, an optional strobe light may be

wired to ElkGuard for visual indication of events. The strobe light can flash for 1 hour if the unit is powered only

by the battery, or for 12 hours if the unit is connected to theAC transformer power. Refer to the section titled:

OptionalAuxiliary Connections for more information.

Pressing the Disarm/Unlock button immediately after an alarm will disarm ElkGuard. For the next 5 minutes

the display will indicate the source of the alarm, and the time at which the alarm occurred.

Note: ElkGuard features a 6 character display. When displaying messages with more than 6

characters the message will scroll across the display in segments. In this manual messages that

contain more than 6 characters are shown with a (<) sign to indicate the separate segments.

Panic/Duress Operation

Audible Panic alarms (including siren and optional strobe light) may be activated by pressing the special panic

button on the 3 or 4 button keyfobs if they have been programmed as “KEY”. Audible Panic alarms may also

be activated by pressing the single button on the emergency transmitter, provided the emergency transmitter is

programmedas “KEY”.

A silent Duress alarm (without any siren or strobe activation) can be activated by pressing the special panic

button on the 3 or 4 button keyfobs if they have been programmed as “DURESS”. The system will also be

armed or disarmed at the same time. Asilent Duress alarm may also be activated by pressing the single

buttonon the emergency transmitter,provide theemergency transmitter has been programmed as “DURESS”.

Silent Duress means that the system will arm or disarm while a silent Duress alarm is being sent to the central

station.

ElkGuardInstallation&Programming Manual V1.2 Page 11

Battery Management

It is the responsibility of the installer to program ElkGuard to operate in one of several power selection modes.

Theprimary modesare: 1)AC Mode - ElkGuard operates onAC power (from plug-in charger) with the built-in

standby battery taking over for brief power outages. OR 2) Battery Mode - ElkGuard operates solely on

Battery power (this will require an occasional connection of the plug-inAC charger to recharge the battery).

AC Mode as Primary

In this mode ElkGuard expects to have a full time connection toAC power. It will constantly trickle charge the

internal battery to keep it ready for standby operation. Under the following conditions ElkGuard will switch to a

highervoltage “fast charge” method to quickly bring the battery back to full charge.

• On initial connection toAC or after a momentaryAC outage ElkGuard will switch to fast charge for 24 hrs.

• When ElkGuard detects its main battery as being low it will switch to fast charge for 24 hours.

• Every 30 days ElkGuard will switch to fast charge for 12 hours

• Following any event that causes the Siren to sound ElkGuard will switch to fast charge for 12 hours.

Exception: If a FAULT<MAIN<BATTERY is detected, ElkGuard will limit charging of the main battery to 6

hours. This is to help prevent overcharging a battery which has become weak or is near its end or life.

NOTE: Replace the internal battery after 3 to 5 years of use. Adefinite indication that the battery should be

replaced is when ElkGuard displays a low battery condition while it is connected toAC power. That means

that the battery is no longer able to accept a charge and that it has exceeded its useful life.

Battery Mode as Primary

When configured to this mode (the factory default) and with no full time connection toAC power, ElkGuard’s

internal battery is designed to provide up to 3 months of operation before it must be recharged. The actual

amount of battery time is affected by ElkGuards’ activity; i.e. alarms, armings, disarmings, etc.

Whenever ElkGuard displays “Low Main Battry” it indicates that it is time to connect the unit to itsAC power

charger in order to recharge the battery. Plug theAC power charger into a 110VAC outlet and plug the charging

connector into ElkGuard for at least 24 hours.

How can ElkGuard operate so long on battery power only?

When ElkGuard is programmed to the Battery Power Only (BATT) orAC Off mode, it utilizes a proprietary

“hibernation” mode in which it keeps all but the most essential electronics shut down. Alarms, arms/disarms,

and select other signals will wake the unit up to full power operation, and stay that way until activity ceases.

How is the Battery Mode operating time affected by alarms and daily activity?

*AlarmActivations - Each alarm activation reduces the battery operation time by approx. 2 weeks.

i.e.After two (2) alarms the battery operating time would be reduced by 1 full month.

*Arming/Disarming - Each arm/disarm cycle reduces the battery operation time by approx. 2 days.

i.e.Arming/disarming ElkGuard daily would reduce the operating time by half, from 3 mths to 1 1/2 mths.

IMPORTANT: Be certain that ElkGuard is programmed to the factory default Battery

Power “BATT” mode (AC Off mode) if it will not be connected to a full time AC power

connection. Otherwise ElkGuard will not hibernate and will consequently only

operate for approximately 24 to 48 hours on its battery when AC poweris not present.

Page12 ElkGuardInstallation&Programming Manual V1.2

Nonvolatile Memory

ElkGuard uses EEPROM memory, which is designed to be retained in the event the unit is turned off or resets

due to abnormal conditions. Data stored in nonvolatile memory includes: All programmed devices and options

associated with the device (keys and detectors). The arm state of the system when the problem occurred to

allow the state to be restored after a power cycle or reset.

Battery Load Test

ElkGuard will automatically perform a battery load test:

•Uponpower up of the main unit

•Every24hours

•Upondisarming

•3 hours after the completion of a recharge cycle (only at the end of a recharge cycle and no siren was

activatedafter the recharge cycle.)

IMPORTANT: Each time ElkGuard is connected to its AC power charger it initiates a 24 hr

“fast charge” using a higher voltage charge cycle. It then drops back to a maintenance or

“trickle” charge at the end of 24 hrs. For this reason, we do not recommend frequent or

repeated unplugging and plugging of the ElkGuard unit to itsAC power charger unless: A) It

displays a Low Main Battery message. OR B) Unless it has been operated on battery only

for a substantial period of time. Repeated unplugging and plugging of the AC power charger

without sufficient time for the battery to be depleted can eventually damage the battery due

to the higher voltage “fast charging”.

ElkGuardInstallation&Programming Manual V1.2 Page 13

Programming

There must always be at least one keyfob programmed into the system. The unit is shipped with 2 keyfobs

which are already programmed into the system.

Entering Programming Mode

Programming mode may be accessed in two different ways:

Method 1 Alternate Method 2

Exiting from Programming Mode

Onceall programming changesare complete there are two(2) ways toexit programming mode.

1) Navigate forwards to the last program option labeled ”P-EXIT” and then press theArm/Lock key on a pro-

grammedkeyfob. In isalso possible backupor navigate backwardswhile in programming mode. See Program

ModeNavigationbelow.

2) You may also exit programming mode by power cycling the unit with the master on/off key switch.

NOTE:The ElkGuard will automaticallyexit programming mode after10minutes of inactivity.

Programming Mode Navigation and Selection

Whennavigating through the programming menus devices and system options are displayed steady. The

currentprogrammed value for eachdevice/option is displayedflashing.

•TheDISARM/UNLOCK button on the keyfobis used to advance forwardthrough the program menus.

•The ARM/LOCK button on the keyfob is used to select and advance into a displayed menu. The current

value of that menu option will be displayed in a flashing mode. Repeated presses of theArm/Lock button

willthen scroll through the various values or options for that particular menu.

•The PANIC buttton on the keyfob is used to pick or store the value currently being displayed. The new

value will then flash indicating that it is now the programmed value for that option.

•On the Main unit there are two pushbuttons. While in the programming mode the left most

button can be used to navigate backwards though the program menus. This is handy to go backwards,

particularly if you are trying to get to the P-EXIT (program exit) menu or if you just accidentally step forward

past a menu that you wished to program.

Turn the system on by using the

master on/off key switch.

ElkGuard will briefly display its

firmwareversionnumberand will then

flash“LEARN” for 10 seconds.

If the system is already on and disarmed, the programming

mode can be accessed by doing the following:

1. Press and hold down the right button on the main unit.

2. Once “ElkGrd” is displayed, continue to hold the right

button while pressing the Disarm/Unlock key on a

programmedkeyfob.

3. Theunit should gointo programming mode

showing“Key 1”.

Page14 ElkGuardInstallation&Programming Manual V1.2

Learning New Devices

Learninga new wireless device requires the Master On/Offkey. Proceed with the following:

Step 1 Enter programming mode using Method 1. The display will show the version # and flash LEARN for 10

seconds. NOTE: If unit is ever completely defaulted (erased), it will display “LEARN KEY 1” until at

least 1 keyfob has been programmed. This can be done by simply activating the Learn Procedure

with the keyfob that you want to be Key 1.

Step 2 Press theArm/Lock button on any existing programmed keyfob to advance the display to “READY”.

This now indicates that the unit is waiting for a wireless transmission from the new device.

Step 3 Proceed to the device to be learned and perform the Learn Procedure (see chart below) while the

display is showing Ready. After a LEARN message is received from a new device it will be added to

the next available empty slot. It is not possible to specify the slot number.

Thechart below outlines the Learn Procedure forspecific devices:

OPTIONAL:Reed Switch devices (door/window sensors) may be learned as a “checked” item. If

the sensor is not closed when the system is armed it will announce and display the sensor

number. In order for a sensor to become learned as a “checked” item it must be in the secure or

closedposition (nonviolated) when it is learned.

Once the device is learned into the system, it will automatically be set to the default definition for that type of

device. Sensor devices default to INT, but can be changed to NTINT or PERIM by pressing the arm/lock

button. Key devices default to KEY, but can be changed to MEDIC, DURESS, etc. by pressing the arm/lock

button. When the desired mode is selected press the Panic button to save the new mode selection. The new

modewill flash indicating the programming change has been stored into memory. To learn another device

simply press the Disarm/Unlock button to go back to the main menu at “LEARN”.

Erasing/Replacing Devices

To erase a device:

Step 1 Enter programming mode using either Method 1 or 2. When using method 1 you must wait for approx.

10 seconds until the LEARN goes away. Once the unit displays Key 1 you may press the Disarm/

Unlock button to step through to the device to be erased. When the device you wish to remove

appears on the display, press theArm/Lock button. The current definition for that device will be

displayed flashing. Press the Arm/Lock button until ERASE is displayed, then press the Panic button.

The display will now show LEARN, allowing you to program a new device in that slot. This allows a
