"HOMECONTROL" AUTOMATION KIT
MKHOME1 rev. 2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The purpose of automation is to help make our lives easier and less complex by performing some of the more repetitive tasks
that we do day-in and day-out. Naturally each task must be examined for its value and a determination made as to when or
under what conditions one would want to automate the task.
HomeControl (MKHOME1) was developed as an easy to install automation controller kit communicating with the data bus of
a Caddx “NX” Security Control. The equipment included with HomeControl is factory pre-programmed so that it works out of
the box. The factory pre-programming focuses on the interaction of the security system operation to automate tasks
associated with its operation. Existing security sensors along with the control’s arming status are utilized to trigger true
automation operations such as setback of heating, cooling, and lighting subsystems when the building is not occupied, voice
annunciation of key events, plus the added safety and security deterent that automatic lighting can provide during the crucial
moments of exiting and entry.
The HomeControl Kit includes a Magic Module Controller (MM443), 400 Channel Recordable Voice Annunciator (MV480), Caddx
Link Interface (ML8), Two-Way X-10 Transciever (PSC05) with cord, and ECHO Speaker (ELK-73). By connecting this to a Caddx
NX8, NX6, or NX4 Security Control and some X-10 modules, it’s possible to have a powerful lighting control and voice messaging
automation system up and running in less than one hour. Energy savings are but a short step away with the addition of an electric
Water Heater controller such as the ELK-9100, or an HVAC Setback Thermostat such as the ELK-MTHT communicating
thermostat. Many of the automation functions are controlled by time and day utilizing the clock/calendar from the NX Security
Control.
The Magic Module board communicates with the NX Security Control via the Link Interface. There are 16 event conditions from
the control which are monitored by the Magic Module. These events are assigned to perform one or more of the following:
1)Transmit X-10 commands, 2)Activate one of 6 scene macros, 3) Activate 1 of 4 onboard relays, 4)Announce a message from
any of the 400 recordable channels.
Although the kit is pre-programmed and ready to install, changes can be made with “push-button” ease from a Windows 95/98
PC using our new "Application Writer" software included in the ELK-MK485 Programming Kit (sold separately).
INST ALLA TION
1. Mount the Link Interface Card in the NX cabinet and connect it to the keypad input (3 wires: Red, Green, and Black). See
Figure 1 Hookup Diagram. This will centrally power all HomeControl components from the NX Control. If you prefer (or need)
to power HomeControl from another source, leave off the Red +V wire from the keypad input to the ML8 and connect another
DC power source to the +12V and Neg terminals of the Magic Module. Magic Module also has a power receptacle J3 which
accepts a plug-in 12Vdc (center pin positive) power supply such as the ELK-P1216 (sold separately).
2. Mount the Magic Module & Voice Annunciator and connect them to the ML8 using four (4) wires(Red, Green, White, and Black).
3. Mount the ECHO Speaker near the entry/exit keypad and connect it to the Voice Annunciator speaker terminals using two
(2) wires.
4. Connect the four (4) wire modular telephone cord from the Magic Module J5 to the X-10 Transceiver Module (PSC05).
NOTE: You need 1 or more X-10 or Leviton brand powerline modules (Lamp or Appliance type) in order to utilize the lighting/
energy savings modes programmed in HomeControl.
Congratulations, your HomeControl automation kit is now ready for test and demonstration.

OPERATION OVERVIEW
To understand the automation processes of HomeControl it is necessary to know the parameters and conditions it uses
to “Cause” each action, along with the “Effects” of each action. The following text and diagrams explain HomeControl in
detail.
FACTORY PRE-PROGRAMMED PARAMETERS
CADDX EVENTS
HomeControl is programmed to monitor the following sixteen (16) events (conditions) from the NX Control. When an event first
occurs it is said to be “activated”. When that event resets it is said to be "deactivated."
Activated Deactivated Activated Deactivated
1. Armed Disarmed 9. Zone 1 Fault Zone 1 Restored
2. Armed (Home Mode) Away Mode 10. Zone 2 Fault Zone 2 Restored
3. Chime Mode On Chime Mode Off 11. Zone 3 Fault Zone 3 Restored
4. Entry Delay Active Expired 12. Zone 4 Fault Zone 4 Restored
5. Exit Delay Warning End 13. Zone 5 Fault Zone 5 Restored
6. Alarm Active Silenced 14. Zone 6 Fault Zone 6 Restored
7. AC Failure Restored 15. Zone 7 Fault Zone 7 Restored
8. Error Beep (3 beep) End 16. Zone 8 Fault Zone 8 Restored
HARDWIRE INPUTS
The four (4) hardwire inputs on the Magic Module are not assigned in the factory default programming.
RELAY OUTPUTS
The four (4) dry contact relay outputs on the Magic Module are assigned for use as:
1 Control of a high voltage electrically actuated water heater contactor. (Not needed if using an X-10 water heater module)
2 Control of an HVAC setback thermostat.
3 [available]
4 Optional control of the speaker(s) wires to the Voice Annunciator for selective muting of voice messages.
LINE CARRIER (X-10) TRANSMISSIONS
X-10 House and Unit codes are pre-assigned to correspond to areas of a typical home. These are transmitted in response
to the activated/deactivated events described above. For example: HomeControl transmits a C1 ON during arming or entry
delay activation. If you want lights to be turned on, connect them to X-10 modules programmed to C1.

Relay1

Scenes are like macros. Multiple X10 Devices, Magic Module Relays, and Magic Voice Messages may be triggered by simply activating any one of the 6 scenes.
A scene may be activated at a specific time and day of the week via 2 different schedules (A or B), by any of the 16 NX received events, or by any of the 4 Magic Module
inputs. It is important to understand that scenes are one-way (activate only) actions. Scenes can be activated, but they cannot be turned on or off. Therefore, a second
scene is required to reverse or change the state of a light or group of lights controlled by a previous scene. For example: at 5:30am Mon-Fri the pre-dawn scene (1) will
be activated and the Mstr Bdrm light (C7) will be turned on. This light will be turned off by the Day/Away scene when the alarm system is armed. By the same token, this
light or a group of lights may also be controlled by an NX event, a Magic Module input, or by another X-10 controller.
