FACTORY CONFIGURATION AND JUMPER OPTIONS

The ELK-9100 is factory configured for single phase 220/240 Volts A.C. operation typically found in residential installations. It
contains two Relays which are factory configured to activate at once for controlling of a 220/240 Volts A.C. device. The X10
powerline repeater function is also factory enabled for improved X-10 communications over long distances.

INSTALLATION

1. Locate the 220-240 Volts A.C. electrical panel circuit breaker or the manual disconnect source (line) that supplies the

equipment to be controlled.

* Note: The ELK-9100 cannot be powered from GFCI Ground Fault Breakers. However, GFCI Breakers can be connected to the output
(load) side of the ELK-9100.

2. Turn off the electricity supplying the device to be controlled.

3. Mount the ELK-9100 adjacent to the electrical panel or the manual disconnect.

4. Remove the cover of the electrical panel or manual disconnect.

5. Unscrew and remove the two LOAD wires from the circuit breaker or disconnect terminals.

6. Using two wire nuts strip and connect the BLUE wire from the ELK-9100 to one of the removed LOAD wires.  Connect the

ORANGE wire to the other LOAD wire.

7. Strip and connect the RED and BLACK wires from the ELK-9100 to the LOAD terminals of the circuit breaker or disconnect.

8. Replace the cover on the electrical panel or manual disconnect.

9. Turn on the electricity.

Jumper Configuration

IMPORTANT NOTE:  For safety and legal reasons the ELK-9100 should ONLY be installed by a
licensed and qualified electrician.  There is an inherent  risk of electrical shock or death if not
properly installed.  Do not remove the cover of the unit without first turning off the electrical
supply.  Except for the configuration jumpers there are no user servicable components inside.

J1

RELAYS GROUPED [Default]  Both relays activate together for control of 220/240 Volts A.C. devices.
RELAYS SEPARATED Each relay can be commanded separately for control of 110/120 Volts A.C. devices.

J2

1 (single phase) [Default]  For typical residential installations
3 (3 phase)  For commercial 208 Volts A.C. /3 P power systems this must be selected.

J3

REPEATER YES [Default]  Received X-10 signals will be transmitted onto both sides of a residential electri-
cal system.  Signals will be amplified to 5V P-P maximum.  Note: Actual signal boost is highly dependent
upon the electrical system.  This feature cannot be used in the 3 phase or commercial systems.
REPEATER NO  Disables the repeater functionality.
