Magic Module Series
Link Interface To
Caddx NX Controls
ELK-ML8
APPLICATION:
The Link Interface (ELK-ML8) acts as a bridge
between the data bus of a Caddx NX Control
and a Magic Module (ELK-MM443). It allows
shared use of the inputs, outputs, and system
status for Lighting, Energy Savings, HVAC,
General Automation, and Security applications.
Magic Module Series
ELK-ML8
Link Interface to
Caddx NX Controls
Accessory for the ELK Magic Module
FEATURES:
•Fast and Easy Home Control and Automation
utilizing existing Security Sensors and
System Status from a Caddx NX control¹.
•Simple 2 Wire Hookup to the Control.
•16 Preset Conditions Mapped and
Broadcasted Upon any Change.
•On Demand Interrogation of 240 Conditions.
•Real Time Clock & Calendar Event Functions
utilizing the Caddx NX built-in clock.
•Small Size Conveniently Mounts inside Control.
•Lifetime Limited Warranty, call for details.
SPECIFICATIONS:
•Size: 4" x 2.75" (102mm x 70mm).
•Operating Power Derived From the Magic Module
Power Source or the Caddx Control.
•Operating Voltage: 9.6-15 Volts D.C.
•Current Required: 30mA.
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT: (not included)
•ELK Magic Module (ELK-MM443).
•ELK Programming Kit (ELK-MK485).
Features and Specifications subject to change without notice.

Instructions Printed On Inside

The Link Interface (ELK-ML8) connects to the data bus of the Caddx NX Control¹ using only 2 wires. Data received
from the control is mapped to 16 collection flags. Changes to these flags are broadcasted over the Magic Module
data bus. In addition, 240 bits of data from the Control may be interrogated on demand by the Magic Module. In order
to program the 16 collection flags or develop a Home Control or Automation application, a Magic Module Programmers Kit
(ELK-MK485) is needed.
INSTALLATION
Step 1. Disconnect all power to the Caddx NX Security Control and the ELK Magic Module.
Step 2. Mount the Link Interface using the enclosed self adhesive foam tape or two of the special NX enclosure slide rails.
Step 3. Connect the Link Interface, Caddx NX Control, and Magic Module as per figure 1 below.
NOTE: Figure 1 shows the Magic Module components powered from the NX Control. Be certain that the
maximum combined current draw including any keypads or auxiliary devices does not exceed the ratings
published with the control. The Link Interface and one Magic Module draw 55mA idle or 185mA with
all relays active. A Magic Voice Module will add an additional 70mA idle and up to 500mA when active
with 3/4 volume setting. If you prefer (or need) to power the Magic Module from another source, leave
off the Red +V wire from the keypad input to the ML8 and connect another DC power source to either
the +12V and Neg terminals or J3 of the Magic Module. The Magic Module power receptacle J3 accepts
a plug-in 12Vdc (center pin positive) power supply such as the ELK-P1216 (sold separately).
Step 4. After all wiring connections are complete apply power to the NX Security Control and Magic Module.
Step 5. Use the Magic Module "Code Writer" or "Application Writer" software to setup the 16 collection flags and develop
the desired operation program. The Software includes a manual and on-line help screens.
LEDs XMIT = Blinks when information is being transmitted to or received from a Magic Module
RCV = Blinks when the NX Control is transmitting information to the Link Interface
STATUS = Blinks slowly when the Control Keypad data bus is operational.
PWR = On when the Link Interface is receiving Power.
¹ Works with most Caddx NX Controls except "E" series
