ELK 6030 Installation

ELK-6030

Wireless PIR Motion Sensor

APPLICATION & OVERVIEW

The ELK-6030 Wireless PIR Motion Sensor is designed for use with
control/transceivers that accept Elk's two-way technology; such as
the ELK-M1XRFTW. It is intended for use in residential and light
commercial installations and incorporates many features designed to
ensure its reliable performance.

The dual element pyroelectric sensor in the 6030 detects movement
within a specific coverage area, by sensing the infrared energy that is
emitted from an intruder moving across the sensor's field of view. A
change in the infrared energy creates a temperature change in the
sensor's zones, which is then processed to determine if the occurrence
qualifies as a legitimate motion detect event. If it does then the built-in
radio will be triggered.

The two-way radio (RF) in the 6030 transmits alarm, tamper, supervisory,
and low battery messages to the control/receiver. Each sensor has a
unique TXID number which is enrolled into the control during installation.
With its two-way capability, the 6030 radio listens after every
transmission for a positive acknowledgment from the control. This
makes the sensor very energy efficient since it doesn't waste battery
power repeating transmissions unless they are not acknowledged.

Like all battery powered motion detectors, the 6030 has a mandatory
sleep cycle function to help extend the battery life. After detecting
motion, the sensor's radio will transmit the event to the control and wait
for acknowledgment. Upon acknowledgment the sensor will enter the
mandatory sleep cycle. During the sleep cycle time it cannot transmit
additional events. There are two (2) time choices for the sleep cycle
selected via DIP Switch #4. After the sleep cycle expires the sensor will
once again be capable of transmitting a new event.

The 6030 introduces the industry's first Security/Convenience Light.
This bright white LED projects a beam of light out in front of the sensor.
The modes of activation/operation are: Quick blip when motion is
detected and walk test mode is active. Flash during an audible alarm
activation. On Solid for several seconds when Control is Armed Away
and motion is detected. On Solid for several seconds when motion is
detected (regardless of armed state) and Control Output #4 is On. Flash
for several seconds by command from Control (use as a special
attention grabber or general purpose indicator). On Solid for several
seconds by command from Control (can be used to help illuminate the
immediate area for cameras, etc.)

GUIDELINES FOR USE

The 6030 Sensor is for indoor use only. It may be
mounted directly on a wall or in a corner, with or without
the supplied swivel bracket.

It is recommended that the ELK-6030 be located within
100 feet of the control/transceiver. While an open-air
range of 400 feet or more is possible, adverse indoor
and environmental conditions can significantly reduce
the actual transmission range. Small changes to the
sensor's mounting can often make a big difference in
transmission range.

Always locate the sensor where an intruder is most likely
to walk

across the coverage pattern. Aim the sensor

so that it faces inward toward a solid reference point
such as a wall. Corner mounting often provides the best

detection coverage. See Figure 1.

Choose the location and mounting height carefully. For
optimum performance the recommended mounting

height should be 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 ft. The surface must be
solid and free of any noticeable vibrations. As with all

PIR sensors, select a location that avoids direct
sunlight, glass windows, fireplaces, heating or cooling
sources, and areas of high humidity. Always ensure the
sensor has a clear line of sight of the area to be
protected. Understand that infrared energy does not
pass through solid objects, including glass.

DO NOT mount a wireless sensor near metal duct work
or other large metallic surfaces that might shield or
adversely affect the RF signals. Prior to permanent
mounting, we recommended a walk test be performed

with the control/transceiver to verify acceptable
operation of the wireless sensor at its intended location.

Motion Sensors are not recommended for areas where
a pet can roam. Pets can and will trigger a motion sensor.

Windows should be closed in any area which has an
armed motion sensor.

COVERAGE PATTERNS

INSTALLATION

1. OPENING THE HOUSING - Remove the locking

screw along the bottom (if installed). Push in the
retainer tab and lift the front away from the backplate.

(1) Remove locking
screw (if installed)

(3) Lift here

(2) Push in on retainer tab

Figure 2. Opening the Housing

2. MOUNTING - To mount directly onto a wall WITHOUT

the swivel bracket, start by inserting the supplied
blanking plug into bracket mounting hole. This is very
important! See Figure 3. Next, locate the 9 dimple
marks on the inside of the backplate. Choose 2 (or
more) of these for use as the screw mounting holes.
Drill out the necessary holes using 1/8" bit. To
prevent air or contaminants from getting into the
sensor, DO NOT leave any exposed or unused holes!

Figure 3. Prep for Wall Mounting (No Bracket)

To mount with the supplied Swivel Bracket, start by
attaching the bracket's base to the wall in the chosen
location. Next, fit the backplate over the bracket and
install the locking disc with bracket screw provided.
Do not tighten this screw until the angle and direction
have been adjusted as required.

Sensor must be enrolled into the control

using one of the following two methods.

3. SENSOR ENROLLMENT FROM KEYPAD

3.1 Make sure the M1XRFTW Transceiver is powered
up and enrolled with the M1 Control.

3.2 Enter M1 Keypad Installer Programming and
navigate to Menu: 14-Wireless Setup

3.3 Scroll up to sub-menu:3:Learn Sel Wireless
Transmtr and press Select (right arrow).

3.4 Scroll to and select an unassigned WZone (wireless
zone) and press Learn (right arrow) to enroll.

3.5 Insert the Batteries in the 6030 and press the tamper
switch arm when the keypad displays: Push
Transmitter Button and the M1G speaks; “Press
transmitter button for zone xx”). Upon successful
enrollment the Keypad will chime and briefly display
the 6 digit TXID printed on the sensor. If the TXID
of the sensor is not displayed then enrollment was
unsuccessful. To attempt enrollment again you

must remove the batteries and wait 20 seconds
before re-inserting.

Rapid-Enroll will auto advance to the next wireless
zone in sequence and wait for the next sensor.
Repeat the previous step for each new sensor.

3.6 After all wireless sensors are enrolled, press the
ELK or Select Wireless key to stop Rapid-Enroll.

3.7

Set the Loop ID. Scroll to each 6030 wireless zone
and press the HW (left arrow) button. An 8 digit
number (the TXID in decimal) will now display
followed by Loop = 0. For the 6030 move the cursor
to the right (press RIGHT arrow) and enter a "2" for
the Loop ID . This is VERY IMPORTANT! Press
the ELK key to return back to the wireless zone
display. Loop ID informs the M1 how to handle the
input transmission, and thus permits the use of
multi-input sensors. A 6030 PIR is a single input
device and must always be Loop "2". NOTE: The
M1 default for all wireless zones is Loop "0".

3.8 Set Supervision Type - Set this to "1" (Normal
Supervision). Press the ELK or the Select Wireless
key to locate Sub-Menu: 2:Xmit Transmitter Opt.
Scroll to the desired wireless zone and press Select
(right arrow). Scroll to Option 2: Supervision Type
and set it to "1". The control will now expect a
supervisory check-in report every 64 minutes. If
set to "0" the control will not expect a supervisory
check-in from the sensor. NOTE: A separate M1
option sets the number of missed supervisory
check-ins before a sensor is declared missing.

3.8 PIR Auto Restore - DO NOT Enable. This option
is needed for other brands of wireless PIRs which
do not transmit restorals. The 6030 PIR is designed
to transmit its own restore following an alarm.

3.9 PROGRAM THE ZONE DEFINITION - This must
be done from Keypad Menu 5 - Zone Definitions.

Swivel Bracket

Figure 4. Standard Swivel Mounting

NOTE: A deluxe 90° swivel bracket may be purchased
and used in lieu of the standard swivel bracket. The
deluxe bracket has a short extended arm and allows
the sensor to be aimed at up to a 90° offset from the
wall or base. This bracket also allows the sensor to be
drop mounted from a ceiling. Refer to page 4.
