INSTALLATION
The following equipment is required: ELK-M1EZ8 Control, ELK-M1EZ8MSI Main Serial Port Interface, 8
Conductor J7 Cable (included), 9 Pin to 9 Pin Serial Cable or USB to 9 Pin Serial Cable (not included).
1.
Plug one end of the provided 8-wire CAT5 RJ45 cord into connector J1 on the M1EZ8MSI Main Serial Port
Interface. Plug the other end into connector J5 on the M1EZ8 Control. If a 4-wire PSC-05 Lighting Interface is
already plugged into J5, disconnect that cord and plug it into connector J2 on the EZ8MSI Interface. Connector
J2 is passed through EZ8MSI Interface so that you can maintain the Lighting Interface even with an EZ8MSI
attached.
2. Plug one end of a 9 Pin Serial Cable (not provided) into connector J3 on the M1EZ8MSI Interface. Plug the other
end into your computer or desired serial communicating device.
3. The M1EZ8MSI Interface may be permanently mounted inside the Control or it can be simply carried around as
an Installer tool.
