FUNCTION
The PIM-E is a special Powerline
Interface Module containing a
built-in M1XSP Serial Port chip.
This all-in-one device makes it
easy to permanently connect the
ELK M1 Control to a UPB
network. Simply locate a
convenient unused AC Power
Outlet, connect a cable from the
M1 data bus to the four (4) terminals on the PIM-E, and
perform an M1 data bus enrollment. The long distance
capability of the M1 data bus makes it possible to locate the
PIM-E virtually anywhere, without a lot of complex or ugly
cabling or connections. UPB utilizes the AC wiring circuit for
transmission, without new or additional wiring, and without
radio frequency signals.
Note: The PIM-E will not work
with UPStart configuration software.

INSTALLATION
This device is designed for indoor use only. Follow these steps
to connect the PIM-E module to the ELK M1 Control.
1.
Connect a four-conductor cable from the M1 RS485 Data
bus to the four (4) terminals on the bottom of the PIM-E.
Observe polarity and color code from diagram.
2.
Plug PIM-E into any grounded wall outlet. The Status LED
should start blinking and then stay solid blue.
Connecting to M1 Control using a single homerun cable.
M1 application using two (2) data bus homerun cables
Connecting devices on an ELK-M1DBH Data Bus Hub
An ELK-M1DBH Data Bus Hub (Optional) Can be used to connect data bus
devices using Cat5/6 cables. Devices appear to be in daisy chain because 1
wire pair returns the data bus back where it’s used to feed next device OR
gets terminated by special RJ45 Plug. Only 6 of the 8 total conductors are
used.
