Introduction

LIMITATION

This control is designed to warn against unauthorized entry and other situations. However, it is not a guarantee of protection against the occurrence of burglary, fire, or other emergency. Any alarm system is subject to compromise or failure to warn for various reasons. For example:

- Unauthorized access can be gained through unprotected points or by disarming or bypassing protected points.

- Sensing devices are power driven and do not operate without electrical power. Battery-operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly.

- Telephone lines over which alarm signals are transmitted may be out of service or rendered inoperable by an intruder.

- Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately.

- Smoke detectors have limitations and cannot detect all types of fires. According to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, while smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, . Some of the reasons some detectors used in conjunction with this System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Finally, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending an the nature of the fire, and/or location of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death..

- Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.

- Wireless transmitters (used in some systems) are designed to provide long battery life under normal operating conditions. Longevity of batteries may be as much as 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. External factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. This wireless system, however, can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a change of battery to maintain protection for that given point within the system.

- Installing an alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowner, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property.

- A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.

- Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature; however, as the ambient temperature of the protected area approaches the temperature range of 90 to 105F (32 to 40C), the detection performance can decrease.

- Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices are located on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearingimpaired people.

- This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as 20 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.

- The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. This alarm

system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

Use of this control for fire detection and/or annunciation may not be permitted by certain states, counties, municipalities or local jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of the installing alarm company to check with the local A.H.J. (Authority Having Jurisdiction) or State Fire Marshal’s office prior to using this control for fire detection.

M1EZ8 Installation and Programming

Section 1 - Installation and Wiring

1.1 Planning the Installation

The first step in any multi-zone security system installation is planning the job.

1. Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with all system features and procedures before actually beginning the installation. Read all the information regarding Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NFPA requirements.

2. Perform a physical survey of the installation site. Use the diagrams below as a guide in planning the installation.

3. Discuss the installation requirements and applications with the customer.

4. Compare the installation requirements and applications with the factory default settings to determine what customized programming is needed to meet the specific installation requirements.

5. Bench test the system prior to installation.

1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation

Control Mounting

Remove all packing material and familiarize yourself with the parts. Mount the control in a secure, dry location where the ambient temperature inside the control box can remain at 32‘ to 120° Fahrenheit (0’ to +49' Celsius). Choose a location that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a grounding conductor for the control. A central location makes running system wiring easier. Remove control box knockouts that best suit your wiring needs. Mount the control using the upper center slotted hole to level. Install and connect all necessary wiring for the power transformer, detection loops, keypads and siren outputs.

Keypad Mounting and Wiring

Ideal keypad height is 50-58 inches above the floor. Select a location with an ambient temperature range between 32° and 120° F (0° to +49° C). Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Fasten mounting plate to electrical box (or directly to wall) using flat head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the circuit board. Keypads have a removable wiring plug for connecting to the 4wire data bus. CAT5 or CAT6 eight (8) conductor cable is recommended for all Data Bus cables. The extra wires provide data return paths. Splice the Black, Red, White, and Green wires from the removable wiring plug to the Data Bus cable. Plug the connector into the back of the keypad. Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. Each keypad has connections for an optional programmable output and a programmable zone input.

NOTE: Refer to the section ‘Data Bus E.O.L. Termination’ for information on multiple homerun cables. NEVER SPLICE OR CONNECT WIRE WITH CONTROL POWER ON. Minimum cabling should be four conductor 22 or 24 gauge. Maximum resistance per wire is

25 Ohms. Device placement beyond 1000' is not recommended.

1.4 Control Wiring

Zone Inputs (1 thru 8 on main board, 17 thru 208 via expanders)

Zones Z1 thru Z8 are on the main board, others are in groups of 16, starting with Z17. Each 2 zones share a common negative terminal. A zone may be programming for EOL resistor supervision (Default), or normally closed/normally open without a resistor. In addition, Burglar and Keyswitch zones may be programmed for EOL with Security Alert on Short, or EOL with Security Alert on Open/Short, also referred to as a Four (4) State Zone (firmware 4.3.5 or later). If EOL resistors are used, they should be placed at the furthest most remote end of the detection device wiring. EOL zones permit a combination of N.C. (normally closed) or N.O. (normally open) devices. Using voltage meter probes across the zone and com terminals, a

non-violated EOL zone will measures approx. 7.0 VDC. An open circuit will be approx. 13.8 VDC. A shorted circuit will be 0 VDC. The Keypad also provides the ability “Menu 8 “System Diagnostics” to view zone voltage.

Two-Wire Smoke Zones (Zone 8)

To enable the use of two-wire smoke detectors on Zone 8, move Jumper JP1 to the 2 wire smoke position. Go to the installer programming mode, Menu 05 - Zone Definitions, and program Zone 8 as a Fire zone (Def=10). Program the Wire Type as a 6.

NOTE Use only compatible two-wire detectors as listed on the front label of the control. Do not mix brands. The maximum number of detectors is also listed on the front label. When jumper JP1 is set for two-wire operation, a 680 Ohm EOL resistor (furnished in the hardware pack) must be used instead of the 2,200 Ohm. Maximum wire resistance must not exceed 60 Ohms.

Switched Power Connection (+VSMK)

Four-wire smoke detector and other devices that require a temporary power disruption in order to reset or unlatch from the alarm state (i.e. smoke detectors, etc.) should be connected to the +VSMK 12 Volt DC switched power terminal. When a smoke reset is performed, the operating voltage to these devices is momentarily interrupted.

Auxiliary Power Connections (+VAUX)

Motion detectors, glass breaks, etc. and other devices requiring unswitched 24-hour power should be connected to one of the auxiliary terminals, +VAUX. All negative terminals on the terminal strip are at the same reference and may be used whenever a common (circuit ground) negative is required. Use caution when wiring the control to distribute the load devices among the supply and the negative terminals evenly. NOTE: Circuit ground refers to any negative terminal connection on this control.

This does not refer to earth ground or to the common terminal of the relay output.. These are not at the same voltage potential and should not be wired so that they are electrically connected to a negative.

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) Circuit Breakers

The +VAUX Auxiliary power and J16 power output terminals are protected against shorts and overloads by a 1.25A PTC. A PTC is a solid state, auto-restoring type of circuit breaker. The +VSMK Switched (Smoke) power output is protected by a 1.1A PTC. The +12VKP Keypad power output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. The alarm output is protected by a 1.25A PTC. NOTE:

Sometimes it may be necessary to remove power (unplug the outputs) for approx. 20 seconds after a short, to allow the PTC to reset. Even if the short is no longer present, the remaining residual current draw may be so high that the PTC cannot determine that the short is gone. If the PTC re-trips, check the field wiring and repair.

Transformer Primary Power Input (AC)

The control is powered by a 16.5 VAC, 40 min. VA, UL Listed Class II (power limited) transformer (ELK-TRG1640). The specified sized and rated transformer must be used to operate this control. The transformer must be connected to a 120 VAC, 24-hour outlet not controlled by a switch other than an approved overcurrent protection device.

Sealed Lead Acid B attery

12Volt - 5Ah min. (ELK-1250) NOTE: See UL requirements for standby ti mes and battery sizes. The control is capable of charging up to an 18Ah battery.

Do not exceed 50 feet between the transformer and the control or run the AC power in a multiconductor with other system circuits. Leave the transformer unplugged as well as the standby battery until all other connections have been made.

Standby Battery Connection

Connect the BLACK wire to the Neg (-) terminal on the battery, the connect the RED wire to the Pos (+) terminal on the battery. The control is designed to operate with and recharge a 12 volt, sealed lead acid battery from 5Ah up to 18 Ah for backup of the primary power supply. The control maintains a float charge for the battery of 13.8 VDC at 100 mA. This is in addition to the continuous output of 1.5 Amps that the power supply maintains (see maximum current drains for UL Listed Systems).

CAUTION: Do not reverse the battery leads! The control has special circuitry which helps protect it from battery reversal damage for short durations. However, prolonged reversal of the battery leads may cause permanent damage. A reverse battery warning LED is located to the left of the power On/Off switch. If this light is ON, turn the power off immediately and correct the battery lead connections.

AC Failure, Low Battery, and Automatic Low Voltage Shutdown

During an AC power failure the battery automatically takes over and AC Fail trouble annunciates at the keypad. The communicator can be programmed to report AC Fail to the Central Station after a time delay (see Menu 12, System Option 01).

If the battery voltage falls below 11.2 VDC a Low Battery Trouble condition will occur. The communicator can be programmed to report Low Battery to the Central Station. The battery will continue to run the control until its voltage reaches 10.5 VDC, at which time the control will disconnect and shut down to prevent a false alarm and damage to the battery. The AC Fail trouble display will clear if the AC restores. However, the Low Battery Trouble requires a manual or automatic battery load test before it will clear. An automatic battery load test is performed every 24 hours. See Section 2.2 for powering up the control.

Telephone Line Connection (R1,T1,T,R)

The telephone interface is connected by the use of an approved RJ-31X interconnect jack. This device allows the subscriber to disconnect the control/communicator from the public switched telephone network in the event of a malfunction. The control is equipped with line seizure so that the premises telephone service is interrupted during communication to the central station. Connection to the approved jack is done with a RJSET cord which connects the control terminals to the RJ31X jack.

HELPFUL HINT: The telephone cord can be supervised back to the RJ31X block or Telco demarcation block by installation of a EOL resistor across the Orange and Blue wires (terminals 2 and 7 on the RJ31X jack). Back inside the control, connect the Orange and Blue leads from the RJ cord to any 24hr Burglar zone input.

Outputs

There are 12 outputs on the main board. In programming these are numbered Out2, Out3, and Out 7 thru 16. The total outputs may be expanded utilizing output expander boards connected to the RS-485 4-wire Keypad data bus. The Alarm Output (Out 2) trips when any alarm is activated. All others must be enabled through the RP Rules Programming and can be triggered by multiple conditions “events”. Do not exceed the current limits on voltage only outputs.

Output 2 is a traditional Alarm output. It is factory set to produce alarm siren sounds into standard 8 Ohm speakers (never go below a total connected load of 4 Ohms). It can be alternately programmed to produce voltage only (12VDC) for driving selfcontained sirens or siren driver boards

Output 3 is a Single Pole Double Throw Relay with form “C” contacts (Com, N/O, and N/C).

Outputs 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are low current, positive (+) voltage only, for driving LEDs, relays, etc. Outputs 4, 5, and 6 ARE NOT available from the main board. They can only be accessed with a data bus Output expander set to address 1. This expander will replicate all the main board outputs, including outputs 4, 5, and 6.

Earth Grounding

Tests and studies have determined that the best results against lightning and transients are obtained by isolating the control from ground. Do NOT connect any of the terminals, especially the Neg. terminals to earth ground. However, ancilliary devices such as the ELK-950 Surge Protector on the incoming Telephone circuit are still recommended.

Keypads and data bus expander devices connect to the four terminals marked +VKP, Data A, Data B, and Neg. The keypad plug-in wire harness color code is: Red +VKP, Green Data A, White Data B, and Black (-) Neg. The +12VKP power terminal is protected by an auto reset PTC device. In the event of a short circuit or malfunction, power will be removed from all devices until the problem is resolved.

Data Bus E.O.L. Termination - VERY IMPORTANT!

The control features a true RS-485 “differential” data bus operating at 38,400 bits per second. This is relatively high speed by industry standards and ensures fast, accurate communications. With this speed, EOL data bus terminating resistors are required to eliminate the possibility of reflection errors caused by varying cable lengths. Every data bus device; keypad, zone expander, etc. and the control board has a built-in bus terminating resistor (120 Ohm) which is installed (activated) via a 2 pin header/jumper (2 Gold Pins). The hardware pack includes two black shorting caps. When one of the shorting caps is placed on the two gold pins, it installs (activates) the 120 Ohm terminating resistor across Data Lines A & B. Terminating resistors are marked JP2 on the keypads and JP1 on the expanders. From the factory, no terminating resistors are installed (activated).

WARNING! The RS-485 Data Bus must NEVER have more than 2 terminating resistors header/jumpers installed.

Ideally, there should be no more than 2 home run cables (4 wire) with daisy chained devices along each. The last device on each cable MUST have a terminating resistor installed (activated) via the gold 2 pin header/jumpers marked JP2 on keypads, JP1 on expanders. Place a black shorting cap (see hardware pack) onto the 2 gold pins to install a 120 Ohm resistor across data lines A & B. If there is only 1 data bus cable place a shorting cap on JP3 of Main Board. See alternate hookups below.

For those that prefer to home run wires, use 6 or 8 conductor (CAT5 is ideal) cable. At each device, make a three way splice of the data A, the device A wire (terminal), and a return data A1 wire (using one of the extra wires). At the control, make a two way splice of the data A1 return wire (series connection) to the outgoing data A wire of the next cable. Repeat for the data B wire. Remember to install a terminating jumper on the last wired device and the control JP3 ONLY! Electrically the data wires are now in series. Connect the POS (+) and Neg (-) power wires of each device directly to the M1’s +VKP and Neg terminals. DO NOT SERIES THE POWER WIRES as this will cause unnecessary voltage loss.

Setting the Data Bus Address and Enrolling Device(s) into the System

Keypads and expander devices communicate over the RS-485 4-wire data bus. Each device must have a unique address setting (from 1 to 16) within it's device type. Keypads are TYPE 1, input (zone) expanders TYPE 2, output expanders TYPE 3, etc. The purpose of device types is so that the address numbers can be re-used in each different device type. It’s OK to have a Keypad, Zone Expander, and Output Expander all set to address 2 and on the same data bus since each device is a different device type. It is NOT OK to have duplications of addresses within the same device type. I.E. Multiple keypads on the same

control cannot be set to 'like' addresses.

ADDRESS: From the factory all keypads are set to address 1. Valid addresses are 1 to 16. The first keypad on the system

(Keypad 1) is automatically enrolled upon power up. Each additional keypad must be assigned a unique address and then manually enrolled from “Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment”. (See Menu 01, for complete instructions on Bus Module Enrollment)

1. Press and hold the " * " key, followed by the F5 key . HOLD BOTH keys pressed for 5-10 seconds or until the LCD displays: Exit when done. F1 Set Addr. (This is Keypad setup mode)

NOTE: An alternate method is to remove power from the keypad and then power up while holding any key pressed.

2. Press the F1 key to display the current address setting.

3. Set the desired address (from 1 to 16) by using the Up or Down arrow keys.

4. Press the Exit key twice when done.

Section 2 - Operating the System

2.1 Introduction

For best operation during bench testing, all zones should be terminated with end of line resistors and the correct transformer and battery should be connected to the unit. The control comes with factory default programming, allowing it to be bench tested prior to installation. The factory default code for user 1 is 3456. This code is authorized to operate all user related features of the system. The control is designed to accommodate the grouping of specific zones into partitions called areas and by default, all zones are assigned to area #1. This is the most common mode in which the system operates. This section of the manual gives an overview of powering up and basic keypad functioning.

2.2 Powering Up (One Keypad)

After all other connections have been made and checked thoroughly, the controls AC transformer and battery may be connected. Upon power up the control will perform self-diagnostics and auto-enroll the first keypad (Keypad Address #1). Any additional keypads or expanders must be manually enrolled using Installer Level Programming. See “Menu 01 - Bus Module Enrollment”.

NOTE: It is very important to make certain that every keypad, input expander, output expander, or any other data bus device be assigned a unique data bus address within its type. See “MENU 01 - Bus Module Enrollment” for instructions on setting keypad and expander addresses.

2.3 User Codes and Authorities

The control has 99 user passcodes plus one installer passcode. Each user code may be assigned specific authorities as to what it is allowed to do. The authorities are assigned from the Installer level programming, however the code numbers and user name is assigned from the keypad user menu 6 - Change User Codes. Only a Master authority level code or the Installer code is allowed to access keypad user menu 6. The User’s Guide contains a description of panel operations accessible to the user codes. Control operations accessed by the installer passcode are slightly different.

The Factory Default Code for User Code 1 is: 3 4 5 6 (Master Code)

(If the six digit code option is enabled, User Code 1 default will then be: 1 2 3 4 5 6)

The user code may be used for functions in a specific area or system-wide. Some options may be performed at any time, even while the control is fully or partially armed. The menu system is designed to be next-step-oriented. After a brief explanation of the options, the user should be able to begin operating the system immediately. For purposes of discussion, the installer and the end consumer are both considered users, but have different capabilities.

2.4 Installer Program Code and Authorities

The installer code can access all the keypad user menus, including of course menu 9 - Installation Programming. The Installer code also has limited arm/disarm privileges. It may be used to arm any area and may be used to disarm any area, so long as that area was armed specifically by the installer code. The Installer code cannot disarm if an area was armed by any user code. The Installer code may be used to silence 24hr alarms or a Burglary alarm in an area that was armed by the installer or in an area that is not armed. The installer code may also be used to silence a trouble condition in a disarmed area. See User’s Guide for a full description of arming and disarming procedures.

The Factory Default Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9

2.5 Keypad Overview

Ready Light - This light is ON when all burglar zones are secure and the system is OK for arming. If this light is OFF, one or more zones are

violated (not secure). For maximum security, all zones should be secured before the system is armed.

If FLASHING, one or more force-armable zones are violated. Force arming temporarily excludes violated zone(s) from the system. However, if a force armed zone becomes secure while the system is armed, it will automatically restore to service. This is handy for a garage door. The system may be armed with the door up, but once the car is backed out and the door is closed, it will become secured.

Armed Light- This light will be ON when the system is armed. The mode of arm will be indicated by the LCD display and the Exit or Stay lighted pushbuttons. This light will be OFF when the system is disarmed.

Exit Key - This lighted key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the AWAY (not occupied) mode. If the Exit light is ON the system is armed and all perimeter sensors and interior motions are active. The Away key may be pressed during the exit delay time t to

convert from Away mode to Away Vacation mode. The Away Vacation mode is primarily for use with the Whenever/And/Then Rules programming of Elk-RP to invoke long term energy savings.

Stay Key - This lighted key may be programmed for single or double press arming to the STAY (occupied) mode. If the Stay light is ON the system is armed and all interior zones are excluded (bypassed). Only perimeter doors and windows are active in the Stay mode. This key may also be programmed to change to other Stay modes such as: Stay Instant, Stay Night, and Stay Night Instant. Since interior zones are automatically excluded once the Stay mode is activated, the M1 allows this key to Stay arm even while one or more interior zones are violated, provided they are programmed for “force arming”. The Stay Night mode re-activates any interior night zones. To prevent a false alarm the control will not allow change to the Stay Night mode when a interior night zone is violated unless it is programmed for “Force arm”.

Chime Key - Chime produces an audible tone alert whenever certain doors, windows, or other selected zones are violated. There are two

selections: Tone only and Off. Whenever Chime in On the Chime key will be illuminated. In the programming mode the Chime key also functions as an insert character key for text programming.

Bypass Key - Pressing this key followed by a zone number and the bypass key again will exclude or bypass the selected zone. This

key may also be used to delete a character during text programming. When the Bypass key is lit, one or more zones are bypassed.

* Key - This key serves as a clear or reset key. If an error is made while entering digits, pressing this key clears the error. Three presses is a master clear.

# Key - This key is currently a duplicate of the Bypass key.

Numerical Keys - These keys are used for entry of passcodes, programming, etc. Keys 2 - 9 also have an assigned alpha character

which are used for entering text.

Arrow Keys - The ELK and arrow keys have powerful functionality used for both normal operation and programming. Pressing the ELK key displays relative information according to each application. The arrow keys allow scrolling through all available options. The user can activate or select the displayed option by pressing the right arrow key. Once an option has been selected, the user may be prompted for a passcode. Additional sub-menu options may appear to assist. The user may return to the status screen by pressing the * key.

MAPPING TO AN INDIVIDUAL AREA

Enter an area number from 1 to 8 OR scroll UP and DOWN with the arrow keys.

Press the Right Arrow key to map the Keypad to the area shown. The LCD display and

r

the Ready / Armed LEDs will show the status for the mapped area for 1 minute. During this minute, it is possible to arm, disarm, bypass, etc. the mapped area from this keypad. Each time a key is pressed the 1 minute is restarted. However, after 1 minute of no keypress activity, the keypad will return to its original primary assigned area.

ACCESSING A CONSOLIDATED DISPLAY OF ALL VALID AREAS

Entering “0” for the area number immediately maps the Keypad to a consolidated

‘snapshot’ of all authorized areas. This permits quick arming and disarming only. If an area is not ready to arm it will be necessary to map individually to that area to view the violated zone(s) and either secure or bypass them prior to arming.

This example shows all 8 areas, meaning that the User Code was valid for all 8.

The display only shows the areas for which the user code is authorized.

Note the letter beneath each area number.

To change or ‘toggle’ the arm status of an area, press the number key representing the area number. IMPORTANT: The area status is not “real time”. It is a snapshot taken when the RIGHT arrow key was pressed. If a zone has since become violated the area will still be displaying “r”, however the letter will immediately change to “n” and the keypad will emit an error tone when an attempt is made to arm by pressing the area number.

Section 3 - Programming The Control

3.1 Introduction

The Security functionality of the Control can be programmed either from an ELK-M1KP LCD Keypad OR from the ELK-RP PC Software. The keypad features a menu-driven “Text” based interface with simple Yes/No answers for most options. After just a short amount of experience the average installer will not even require an instruction manual to keypad program the control.

For the Automation functionality the ELK-RP PC Software is a requirement. The options and capabilities available for automation are so unique and powerful that it takes a PC to make use of all the benefits. The control features a powerful “Whenever/And/Then” RULES based programming that allows almost any imaginable operation.

3.2 Local Keypad Programming

There are two levels of operation for programming the control locally, user level and installer level.

- User level programming provides the ability to add, change, or delete user passcodes and names. It also allows custom automation settings to be viewed and changed. A master user code is required to access the user code and custom settings screens. User programming is explained in the User’s Guide.

- Installer level programming allows total customizing of the Security operating features. Only the installer code may access this level. level programming should be familiar with the contents of this publication prior to programming the control panel. If remote programming is used, it is possible to “lock out” or prevent takeover of a control by another installation company by selecting “Lockout Local Prog.” This prevents the installer passcode from gaining access to programming via an LCD keypad. The installer passcode may still be used for the non-programming functions described in Chapter 2. Lockout Local Prog does not affect remote programming.

If the installer code is lost or forgotten, it is impossible to program the control locally. Anyone attempting installer

3.3 Local or Remote Computer Programming (ELK-RP) and Anti-Takeover

ELK-RP programming utilizes extensive error checking and security safeguards, including data encryption, password log-on, serial number, and dealer assigned RP access code. The serial # identifies the control to RP while the RP access code identifies the computer to the control prior to a programming session. RP loads the access code during the first connection. It cannot be viewed or changed from local keypad programming. In addition to these safeguards, you can set an anti-takeover option from RP which prevents certain keypad programming. Even a total default of the panel programming cannot reset the anti-takeover option once it is set..

The Factory Default Elk-RP Access Code is: 2 4 6 8 0 1

3.4 Area Partitioning

The control may be divided into 1 to 8 independent areas (partitions). Each area appears as a full-featured system, allowing one control to be shared by multiple, independent departments within a common structure. Zones, User Codes, and Keypads may be assigned to any 1 area up to the maximum number available. An example is a single business divided into separate departments, each department occupied by different employees. Mount the control in a secure area (common utility closet) with dedicated and uninterrupted AC power and telephone service. Then assign zones, codes, and keypads to each department.

The Alarm Output (Output 2) activates on all alarms, regardless of the area. The RP Software Rules can be used create additional (separate) outputs. When reporting to the central station events like AC Power Failure, Automatic tests, Low Battery, etc., are considered system reports and are transmitted using the Area 1 account number. If area partitioning is not desired, simply designate all zones to a single area (Area 1) which is the factory default setting for zones 1-8.

COMMON AREA - Another popular feature is the ability to have one or more areas made “common” to Area 1. This is often referred to as a “Vestibule Feature”. Any of the Areas 2 thru 8 may be made common to Area 1. The result is: Area 1 cannot be armed until all its common areas are armed. Once armed, Area 1 will disarm if any common area becomes disarmed. This is good for lobbies or vestibules shared by two or more businesses. Each business must have their own area keypad.

NOTE: If you want Area 1 to automatically arm when all its common areas become armed, use a Whenever/And/Then rule from the RP software to do this.

3.6 Entering Installer Level Programming

1. Press the center ‘ELK’ key once followed by the DOWN arrow key until display reads “9-Installation Programming”. NOTE: The keypad may beep and display the following:

2. Enter the Installer Program Code when required. Press the right arrow key to select the “Installation Programming” option.

The Factory Default Installer Program Code is: 1 7 2 8 3 9

For security against unauthorized programming changes, the installer code should be changed from its factory default setting.

This can be done from Menu 07 - Globals System Definitions, Option 42.

Once the Installer Code has been entered, the first programming menu will display and a 4 minute timer will be started. If there is no key-press activity during this time period the control will automatically exit from the programming mode. It is easy to navigate around and between the programming menus and options using the up and down arrow keys. When the correct menu or option is located, press the right arrow key to proceed into that menu.

Refer to the Quick Reference Guide on the following page to locate a particular menu or to see what options appear under each menu. Refer to the individual menus and their option descriptions for details about each of the programmable items.
