ELK 6021 User Manual

ELK-6021 Wireless Mini Window Sensor

APPLICATION

The ELK-6021 is an exceptionally thin Wireless Window Sensor.
It is designed primarily for use on non-metal surfaces and is
ideal for double hung or casement style wood/vinyl windows. It
is nearly invisible when installed properly. The 6021 is compatible
with Wireless Transceivers and Controls that accept Elk’s two­way technology such as the ELK-M1XRFTW. The 6021 contains
a built-in reed switch and reports a unique TXID identifier to the
transceiver.

The 6021 features Elk’s Industry Leading Two-Way Technology
with positive signal acknowledgment and very good battery life.

Enrolling from M1 Keypad Installer Programming

1. Enter M1 Keypad Installer Programming and navigate to

Menu: 14-Wireless Setup

2. Press right arrow, then scroll up to Sub-Menu: 3:Learn Sel

WirelessTransmtr

3. Press right arrow, then scroll or select a unused/available

WZone (wireless zone).

4. Press right arrow to Lrn (Enroll) a new sensor.

5. Insert the Battery into the 6021 as soon as the keypad

displays: Push Transmitter Button. The M1G voice will
speak; “Press Transmitter button for zone xx”.

NOTE: If battery is already installed; remove it, wait 5
seconds, then re-insert.

6. Upon successful enrollment the Keypad will chime and briefly

display the 6 digit TXID code of the sensor.
If enrollment fails the TXID will not display. If that occurs;
remove the battery, wait 5 seconds, then re-insert. In certain
instances it may be necessary to repeat steps 3 - 6.

7. The Rapid-Enroll feature will auto advance to the next

wireless zone in sequence and wait for the next sensor
enrollment. Simply repeat step 5 for each additional sensor.

8. To end Rapid-Enroll AFTER after all wireless zones

(sensors) are enrolled, press the ELK key one time.

9.

Set the Loop Number. ELK wireless sensors use Loop 2
for the built-in reed switch. Since the 6021 only has the
single “reed switch” zone, the default M1 Loop # 0 will
recognize the reed switch WITHOUT the need to change
the Loop from 0 to 2. If you wish to view (or change) the
Loop #, scroll up or down to the desired M1 wireless zone
and press the left arrow. The screen will display a 9 digit
number (TXID in decimal) followed by Loop=.

10.

Supervision - For wireless Burg sensors the supervision
should be set to 1=Normal “Burg”. This happens to be the
factory default setting for all wireless zones. To view or
change the Supervision value, press the ELK key to locate
Sub-Menu: 2:Xmit Transmitter Opt. Press the right arrow
and scroll to the wireless zone, then press right arrow to
select.

ZONE DEFINITION: After all wireless zones (sensors) have
been enrolled proceed to Menu: 5 - Zone Definitions to program
the name, zone type, and any desirable options.

Do not mount on metal

Enrolling from ElkRP Software

1. Launch ElkRP and open the desired Customer Account file.

2. If no wireless zones currently exist in this M1 you will need
to create a group of 16 wireless zones. In the folders column
right click on Zones (Inputs) and then click New Wireless
Zones. Place a check mark in the box beside the desired
group, then click OK. Repeat if additional wireless groups
are required. All expanded zones must be defined in groups
of 16. The M1XRFTW wireless must always start at Zone
17 (Group 2) and the last wireless zone CANNOT be higher
than Zone 160 (Group 10).

Note: M1 only allows Zones 17 to 160 to be used for
wireless zones (max. of 144 wireless sensors). If a large
number of wireless zones is expected, avoid conflict with
any future Hardwired Zones in the range of zones 17 to
160 by NOT enrolling any Hardwired Zone Expanders
(M1XIN) at data bus addresses below 10.

3. Double click on Wireless - Group _ (the group just added),
then double click one zone at a time to define a name, type,
and options. Repeat for each wireless zone. It is more time
efficient in ElkRP to program the Zone Definitions (name,
type, and options) before moving to the Wireless Setup for
entering the TXID and Loop number.

4. From the Folders column double click on Wireless Setup
to setup and enroll the wireless sensors.

4a. Click the Transmitters tab, then double click a zone.
4b. Place a check mark in the Enabled box.
4c. Set Supervision type: 0=Non Supervised (Keyfobs),

1=Normal “Burg” Supervision, or 2=Fire Supervision

4d. Skip down to the TXID box and enter the Sensor TXID

from the printed label located on the sensor.

4e. Skip to the LOOP box and enter a 2. Loop 2 defines the

built-in reed switch.

4f. Click Save. Repeat the entire step 4 for each additional

Wireless Zone and Sensor.

Locating and Mounting the Sensor

We recommend that the ELK-6021 Mini sensor be installed
within 100 ft. of the wireless receiver. While the open-air
range is much greater than 100 ft., obstacles and conditions
in a building can significantly decrease effective operating
range. (Note: For longer range requirements check out the
ELK-6020 Slim-Line and ELK-6022 Universal sensors.) The
ELK-6021 should never be mounted on metal surfaces since
the extremely low profile of the device causes the signal to
be adversely affected by the metal.

Always test sensors in their intended location PRIOR to
permanent mounting. Bear in mind that a sensor’s operating
range can often be improved by slightly moving or re­orienting the sensor mounting.

2. Peel the protective cover from one side of adhesive pad and
apply to back of sensor/magnet.

3. Grasp the remaining protective backing and remove just prior
to mounting.

4. Hold for several seconds to allow a strong bond. It may
require up to 24 hrs for tape to reach full bond.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT:

Operational Testing

A two color LED located behind the plastic cover (front & center)
displays feedback of transmission status. This LED is very
useful during installation and troubleshooting. Direct sunlight
conditions can make it difficult to see this LED.

GREEN blink = Sensor has successfully transmitted a violation

(alarm) transmission to the transceiver and that signal has
been received and acknowledged by the transceiver. The
green blink is not provided for a sensor restore transmission.

RED blink = CAUTION Indicates sensor was unable to

communicate with the transceiver after multiple repeated
attempts. The most likely problem is that the distance
between the sensor and the transceiver is too great.
However it is also possible that the transceiver if off-line or
powered off. Try the following troubleshooting steps:
A. Verify that the transceiver is on with its status LED blinking.
B. Walk to another sensor and test (trip) it to see if it can
communicate with the transceiver.
If steps A & B appear to work then temporarily remove the
failed sensor and re-test it at a closer range with the
Transceiver. If the sensor successfully communicates at a
closer range then one of two solutions may be needed:

1. Try to relocate the transceiver at a closer and more central
location this and all other sensors.

2. Purchase and install an additional “remote” transceiver
to cover the area where this sensor was mounted.

Per UL a complete test of the security system and all zones
should be performed once a week. The zones may be walk
tested using the M1 Keypad Menu 3 - Walktest Area.
