Installation Instructions
Applications and Overview
The ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke Detector is designed for use with Elk's
two-way wireless product line consisting of the ELK-M1XRFTW Trans-
ceiver and the ELK-M1 Control. It is intended for residential and light
commercial applications and incorporates many features designed to
ensure its reliable performance.
The 6050 is powered by long life 3V Lithium batteries, providing power
to both the detector and the built-in wireless transmitter.
The unit utilizes
photoelectric smoke detection technology, and also includes fixed
temperature 135°F heat detection and rapid "rate-of-rise" temperature
detection. Built-in self-diagnostics monitors sensitivity and operation
status. Should the unit drift out of the UL Listed sensitivity range or fail
the internal diagnostics, it will extinguish its Alarm/Status LED and signal
a trouble condition to the Control.
This detector meets NFPA 72 field
sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external meters. A
sensitivity test feature provides visual indication of the sensitivity level
and warns if service is required. Built-in drift compensation allows the
product to adjust sensitivity automatically as it becomes dirty over time.
The drift compensation feature dramatically increases the time between
cleanings, as well as reducing the chance of nuisance alarms.

Two-way Communications
When multiple ELK-6050 Smoke Detectors are installed and enrolled into
the same Control the two-way communications features offered by the
Elk wireless permit certain communications to flow in both directions. For
example; whenever any 6050 Smoke Detector alarms and the alarm is
communicated to the Control, the Control will broadcast a signal to all other
enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors informing them to turn on their sounder.
Likewise, whenever the alarm is silenced at the Control, a broadcast will
be transmitted to silence the other "like" detectors. EXCEPTION: If smoke
is still present in a detector, that detector will not cease sounding until the
smoke has been cleared. Below is a complete listing of the two-way
communications signals:
Alarm
- Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the
detection chamber has sufficient smoke or heat to
qualify as an alarm condition.
Trouble
- Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the
detector has an internal fault and may require
service.
L o w
- Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the
Battery
batteries have reached a low voltage state and
must be replaced to maintain proper operation.
Test/Silence
- Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the Test
Button was pressed on a detector. Also used to
silence the alarm on that individual detector.
Sounder On
- Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors
informing them to activate their sounder.
Sounder Off
- Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors
informing them to silence their sounder. This is
triggered by the silencing of the Fire Audible. NOTE:
A detector will not silence if it continues to detect
smoke or heat.
Trouble Off
- Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors
informing them to silence their trouble chirps. In the
case of a low battery trouble chirp, if the batteries
are not replaced then the chirp will re-start after 24
hours.
