Elk 6032 Installation and Setup Guide
ELK-6032
Wireless Outdoor PIR Sensor
APPLICATION & OVERVIEW
The ELK-6032 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 6032's dual element pyroelectric sensor detects movement within
a specic coverage area, by sensing the infrared energy that is emitted
from an intruder moving across the sensor's eld 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 qualies as a
legitimate motion detect alarm event.
Whenever a violation or alarm event is conrmed the two-way radio
transmitter will transmit that to the control/receiver. In addition to alarms
the transmitter also sends tamper detect, supervisory, and low battery
messages to the control/receiver. Each sensor has a unique TXID
identication number which must be enrolled into the control during
installation.
With its two-way capability, the 6032 radio expects a positive
acknowledgment from the control/receiver after every transmission. This
helps ensure that all messages are delivered and also makes the sensor
very energy efcient since it does not waste time or energy repeating any
transmissions unless they have not been acknowledged.
Like all battery powered motion detectors, there is a battery saving sleep
timer designed to help extend the battery life. When the sensor rst detects
motion it will inform the radio transmitter to notify the control and expect
an acknowledgment. The sensor will then enter the battery saver sleep
mode and will require either 5 secs. or 120 secs. of inactivity before it
will be able to activate again. There are two (2) time choices, 5 secs. or
120 secs. which is selectable via DIP Switch #2.

GUIDELINES FOR SETUP AND USE
The 6032 Sensor is for Outdoor or Indoor use. It may be mounted directly on a wall or on a solid and stationary pole.
We recommended that it be mounted within 200 to 300 feet of the control/transceiver. While an open-air range of 400 feet or more is possible, adverse
indoor and environmental conditions can signicantly 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.
Choose the location and mounting height carefully. For optimum performance the recommended mounting height is between 2.7 ft and 4.0 ft above the
ground. The mounting surface must be solid and free of any noticeable vibrations. As with all PIR sensors, select a location that avoids direct sunlight,
heating or cooling sources. 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.
ALWAYS try and avoid mounting wireless sensor near 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.
This sensor is designed to be somewhat immune to small animals when it has been mounted at the prescribed recommended mounting height.
INSTALLATION

The 6032 Sensor must be enrolled into the
Control using one of the following 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 Trans-
mtr 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 6032 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 briey 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 auto advances to the next vacant wire-
less zone to await another enrollment. To keep the
previous sensor from accidentally enrolling a second
time, place it face down so that its sensor cannot
detect motion while the tamper is open. Repeat
enroll steps 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 the pertinent 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 6032 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 6032 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 Super-
vision). 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 6032 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 Denitions.
4. SENSOR ENROLLMENT FROM ELKRP
4.1 Launch the ElkRP PC software and open the desired
Customer Account le.
4.2 Click the "+" next to Zones (Inputs) to expand the view.
Look to see if there are any existing wireless zone
groups. If there are none then it will be necessary
to add or create a new group. To create a wireless
group, right click on Zones (Inputs) and click New
Wireless Zones. Place a check mark in the box to
be added, starting with Group 2. Click OK. Repeat
if more wireless groups are required.
NOTE: The M1 Control requires all expanded zones
to be dened in groups of 16. E.G. Zones 17-32 =
Group 2, zones 33-48 = Group 3, etc. Furthermore,
when an M1XRFTW Two-Way Transceiver is
included, it must always be enrolled at databus
address 2 (the rst expander). This also means
that the rst group of wireless sensors should be
dened as group 2. Since M1 allows a maximum
of 144 wireless zones, the last potential wireless
zone can never be higher than Zone 160. If a large
number wireless zones is anticipated, it would be a
good idea to avoid conict with any future Hardwired
Zones in the 17 to 160 range by NOT enrolling any
Hardwired Zone Expanders (M1XIN) at any data bus
addresses below 10.
4.3 Double click on Wireless - Group _ (the group just
added) and double click one zone at a time to dene
the Zone Name, Denition, Type, Attributes, etc.
4.4 The next step is to enter the sensor's TXID and the
other wireless setup data. This may be done directly
from each zone denition screen (click the Wireless
Setup button) OR from the separate Wireless Setup
menu accessed from the folders column.
4.5 Place a check mark in the Enabled box.
4.6 Set Supervision type to "1" (Normal Supervision)
for the 6032 Sensor. A setting of "0" means the
control will not expect a supervisory check-in from
the sensor. For additional details refer to Supervision
on the previous page.
4.7 Skip past the block titled: This device is a PIR (auto
restore). Do Not Enable. The 6032 PIR will transmit
a restore after each alarm as long as all functions
return to normal. This M1 option is for other supported brands of wireless PIRs that do not transmit
restorals.
4.8 Skip to the TXID box and enter the Sensor TXID that
is printed on the small label attached to the sensor.
4.9 Skip to the LOOP box and enter a 2.
4.10 Click Save. Repeat the entire step 4 for each
additional Wireless Zone and Sensor.
RF ACKnowledge (Green) LED
While installing the batteries and physically installing the
sensor it may be helpful to observe the RF Acknowledge
LED located on the radio transmitter board. This is a
bi-color LED that provides visual status of the two-way
acknowledge (response) from the control/transceiver.
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.
ORG/RED blink = Sensor was not successful in trans-
mitting after multiple attempts. POSSIBLE CAUSES:
a)Control or M1XRFTW is powered off. b)M1XRFTW
is not enrolled with control. c) Sensor is not enrolled.
d)Distance between the sensor and the transceiver
is too great. Check the following:
A. Verify that the M1 Control is powered on.
B. Verify that the M1XRFTW Transceiver is powered
on and that it is enrolled with the M1.
C. Verify that the sensor is properly enrolled.
D. Trip a different wireless sensor to determine if it
can successfully communicate.
E. If above steps are OK, temporarily move the failed
sensor closer to the transceiver and retest. If
sensor successfully communicates at the closer
range then it may be necessary to:
1. Relocate the transceiver to a closer and more
central location to this and all other sensors.
OR
2. Purchase and install an additional “remote”
transceiver to cover the area where this sensor
was mounted.
WALK TEST DIP Switch #1
Walk test is a way to verify that the sensor is operating as
desired and in the optimum location. With the Walk Test
enabled, slow and short steps should be taken across
the coverage zones in both directions. When motion is
detected, the Red LED should iluminate momentarily.
owledge LED
To enable the Walk Test mode you must open the
remove the sensor front and turn On DIP Switch #1.
NOTE: The Elk Keypad Walk Test via the Two-way
commands cannot enable the Walk Test mode for
the 6032 Outdoor PIR Sensor.
