Application, Features, & Specifications

ElkGuard is a fully self contained security system. It features an on-board motion sensor, loud siren, and
wireless receiver for remote sensors and Arm/Disarm keyfobs. There are several 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 without AC power set s ElkGuard apart from its competitors and means less
maintenance for the customer. ElkGuard is manufactured to world class st andards using the latest surface
mount technology and state of the art in-circuit probe testers, together with strict process controls and
adherence to an ISO9001 Quality Assurance 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
feature alone affords ElkGuard with unprecedented ease of installation and portability .

Complete control of the ElkGuard is available from waterproof remote wireless keyfobs, which provides the user
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
passive infrared detectors and wireless reed switches also offer a high level of security through the use of
programmable supervision techniques and constant monitoring of 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
programming is required allowing a comprehensive system to be installed in under one hour .

Mounting

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

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 though ElkGuard is capable of operating on battery for 3 between recharges (in Battery Only mode),
connection to an AC electrical outlet (if available) is cert ainly a good practice as it would eliminate the need
to remember to periodically recharge the unit manually .

The design of the ElkGuard makes it ideal for mounting in the corner of a room or to any flat surface. A dif ferent
set of mounting holes are used when mounting the unit in a corner versus a flat surface as illustrated in Figure 3
on the following page.

T o 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 .

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 the AC transformer for 24 hours. This will ensure the onboard battery is fully

charged.

St art Up

T o power up ElkGuard insert one of the two round barrel keys into the lock on the bottom edge of the unit. T urn
the key clockwise 1/4 turn and the unit will momentarily display its V ersion 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. Af ter the time has expired the unit will
resume the 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, ST A Y, 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 pressing Arm/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 which Arm Mode the sensor definitions will be active.

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 i s 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.

INT NTINT PERIM CHIME ICHIME NCHIME PCHIME

ARM MODE

Disarmed CCCC
Armed (Away) AAAC AAA
Stay A CS *
Stay2 AACS *S *

LEGEND A = Alarm - In the Arm Modes shown the Sensor will activate an alarm if tripped.

C = Chime - Sensor will only cause a single chime tone to sound if tripped.
S * = Special Alert - Sensor will cause 5 Special Alert Tones to sound if tripped.
blank = Inactive - Sensor is inactive and cannot create an alarm or sound the chime.

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 the AC transformer power . Refer to the section titled:
Optional Auxiliary 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.

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

Page 10 ElkGuard Installation & Programming Manual V1.2

Panic/Duress Operation

Battery Management

It is the responsibility of the installer to program ElkGuard to operate in one of several power selection modes.
The primary modes are: 1) AC Mode - ElkGuard operates on AC 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-in AC charger to recharge the battery).

AC Mode as Primary

In this mode ElkGuard expects to have a full time connection to AC 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
higher voltage “fast charge” method to quickly bring the battery back to full charge.

• On initial connection to AC or af ter a momentary AC 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<BATTER Y 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. A definite indication that the battery should be
replaced is when ElkGuard displays a low battery condition while it is connected to AC 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 to AC 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 its AC power
charger in order to recharge the battery . Plug the AC power charger into a 1 10V AC 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 (BA TT) or AC 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?

* Alarm Activations - Each alarm activation reduces the battery operation time by approx. 2 weeks.
i.e. Af ter 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.

ElkGuard Installation & Programming Manual V1.2 Page 11

Battery Load Test

ElkGuard will automatically perform a battery load test:

• Upon power up of the main unit

• Every 24 hours

• Upon disarming

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

activated after 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 its AC 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”.

Nonvolatile Memory

ElkGuard uses EEPROM memory , which is designed to be retained in the event the unit is turned of f 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.

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

Turn the system on by using the
master on/off key switch.

ElkGuard will briefly display its
firmware version number and 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
programmed keyfob.

3. The unit should go into programming mode
showing “Key 1”.

Exiting from Programming Mode

Once all programming changes are complete there are two (2) ways to exit programming mode.

1) Navigate forwards to the last program option labeled ”P-EXIT” and then press the Arm/Lock key on a pro-
grammed keyfob. In is also possible backup or navigate backwards while in programming mode. See Program
Mode Navigation below.

2) You may also exit programming mode by power cycling the unit with the master on/off key switch.
NOTE: The ElkGuard will automatically exit programming mode after 10 minutes of inactivity .

Programming Mode Navigation and Selection

When navigating through the programming menus devices and system options are displayed steady . The
current programmed value for each device/option is displayed flashing.

• The DISARM/UNLOCK button on the keyfob is used to advance forward through 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 the Arm/Lock button
will then 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.

ElkGuard Installation & Programming Manual V1.2 Page 13

Learning New Devices

Learning a new wireless device requires the Master On/Off key . 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 the Arm/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.

The chart below outlines the Learn Procedure for specific devices:

Device Learn Procedure

Keyfob, Doorbell, or Emerg. Button Hold the panic button down for approx. 8 seconds
PIR, Reed Switch Dr/Wnd Sensors Disconnect battery in device for 10 seconds, then reconnect.

&

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
mode will 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”.

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
closed position (non violated) when it is learned.

Erasing/Replacing Devices

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 the Arm/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
faulty device to be replaced while keeping the same slot number.

To replace the old device with a new one at this slot number repeat steps 2 and 3 from the top of this
page. To exit from programming follow the procedure for exiting.

&

The last keyfob cannot be used to erase itself. The only way to erase everything is to default the
ElkGuard. When the unit is defaulted a keyfob will need to be programmed into the system.

Programming Notes

The display will flash FULL if an attempt is made to program a device when there are not additional
programming slots available. Existing programmed devices may be viewed in sequence and erased if desired.

Battery is used as the primary power. If there is no activity the unit will hibernate at ultra low

power consumption with the GSM radio totally powered off. Upon any alarm, trouble, or

keyfob action the unit will wake up to handle the event. Should anything need to be reported

the GSM radio will be powered up. Once every 24 hours the GSM Radio will be powered up

for 3 minutes to log onto the network and check for any remote signals.

Similar to BATT option except GSM Radio is only powered up every 30 minutes for logging

on and checking of remote signals. This option not available in version 1.0 of ElkGuard.

Similar to BATT option except GSM Radio is only powered up every 1 hour for logging on and

checking of remote signals. This option not available in version 1.0 of ElkGuard.

Similar to BATT option except GSM Radio is only powered up every 2 hours for logging on

and checking of remote signals. This option not available in version 1.0 of ElkGuard.

AC (plug-in transformer) is used as the primary power. ElkGuard and the GSM radio remain

fully powered up, ready to handle any events or receive any remote control commands over

the network. ElkGuard MUST be connected to AC power 24/7 using its plug-in transformer.

The charging circuit will maintain the battery at optimum charge for backup operation during

brief AC power outages. 24 to 48 hours of battery standby time is available in this mode.

* Future * Solar Cell option [Contact Elk for availability] Operation is similar to BATT except

the Solar Cell would be used to trickle charge the battery when there is sufficient sunshine. If

there is no activity the unit will hibernate with the GSM radio totally powered off. Should

anything need to be reported the GSM radio will be powered up. Once every 30 minutes the

GSM Radio will be routinely powered up for 3 minutes to log onto the network and check for

any remote signals.

Same as option SLR-30 except GSM Radio is only powered up every 1 hours for logging on

and checking of remote signals. This option not available in version 1.0 of ElkGuard.

Same as option SLR-30 except GSM Radio is only powered up every 2 hours for logging on

and checking of remote signals. This option not available in version 1.0 of ElkGuard.

(factory default is OFF ("BATT" in Version 1.2)

Description

In the OFF (BA TT) setting it is possible for ElkGuard to operate for up to 3 months on a fully charged
battery. However, operating time cannot be guaranteed as it is affected by operating conditions such
as: repeated arming & disarming, alarms, troubles, and the age and condition of the battery itself.
Below are some examples of how operating conditions affect the battery operating time.

- Alarm Activations - Each alarm activation will reduce the battery operation time by approx. 2 weeks.

EG: Af ter two (2) alarms the battery operating time would be reduced by 1 full month.

- Arming/Disarming - Each arm/disarm cycle will reduce the battery operation time by approx. 2 days.
EG: A daily arm/disarm will reduce the battery operation time by 1/2, from 3 mths to 1 1/2 mths.

REMINDER! ElkGuard must be periodically connected to AC power to recharge its internal battery.

» These programming locations only pertain to the communication/reporting feature.

ElkGuard Installation & Programming Manual V1.2 Page 21

Continued on next page >

Verify that the AC PWR (POWER) option is set to the OFF (BATT) mode if ElkGuard it is not going to be
connected to a full time AC power outlet. This will allow the unit to operate on battery for a longer
period of time, up to 3 months, by hibernating with the GSM radio turned off when there is no activity.
If this option is set to ON (AC-ON), the unit will NOT hibernate, and the GSM radio will stay powered
up, requiring considerably more current. The primary reason you might want to keep the GSM radio
powered up is to allow remote commands to be sent and received at any time. However, this results
in the unit only being able to last 24 to 48 hours on battery when the AC fails.

HINT : Even when ElkGuard will be connected to full time AC power it is possible to extend the battery standby
time during unexpected power outages. This can be accomplished by setting the AC PWR [POWER] to OFF
(BA TT), just as you should when AC power is not connected full time. This will keep the unit awake with the
GSM radio powered only while AC power is present. Should the AC power fail the unit will revert to hibernation
just like it would have without AC on the battery primary mode. Just remember that it will not be possible to
send or receive remote commands while the unit is in hibernation.

7. Display flashes “Learn”

8. Press “Button 1/ OFF” on Key fob until the Key fob is learned, “Key 1” will be displayed.

P-EXIT Program Mode Exit

T o exit from programming mode there are two choices.

1) Navigate to this programming location and then press the Arm/Lock button.

&

It may be helpful to know that the left button of the main unit (just below the display) will permit you to
navigate backwards in the programming mode. This is particularly helpful if you accidentally skip past a
particular location or if you are near the first locations and need to navigate quickly to the end of the
locations.

2) The other choice for exiting the programming mode is to simply turn off (or power cycle) the main unit using
the master key switch. However, be aware that when the unit is powered up there is a 10 second period in
which the unit does nothing but wait to see if you would like to LEARN a new device. Af ter this 10 seconds with
no keyfob or button presses the unit will resume normal operation.
