M1XRFEG Installation Manual Page 3
OVERVIEW
The "EG" model of the ELK-M1XRF Wireless RF Receiver (full part # ELKM1XRFEG) allows the ELK-M1 and ELK-M1EZ8
Controls to accept GE 319.5MHz format Wireless Transmitters, including other brand sensors that are compatible with the
GE protocol. Refer to the list of compatible transmitters elsewhere in the manual. Regardless of model, an M1XRF receiver
attaches to the four (4) wire (keypad) data bus and integrates in much the same way as a hardwired zone expander, with the
exception that a single M1XRF can handle up to 144 wireless zones (e.g. transmitter sensors or points). Benefits of operating
from the data bus are: 1) The receiver can be installed virtually anywhere in a building up to the maximum distance of the data
bus. This provides optimum convenience and coverage. 2) Multiple receivers (up to 11 total) can be connected to a single
control providing even greater coverage as well as redundancy. Using multiple receivers it is possible to cover hundreds if
not thousands of square feet with a receiver placed in strategic locations.
A strong point of the M1XRF receiver is that all transmitter programming and enrollment data gets stored in the control panel,
not in the receiver(s). This provides two advantages: 1) Multiple "redundant" receivers can be deployed in a building and a
transmitter only need be enrolled one time. Even portable devices such as Keychain Remotes work perfectly regardless
of which receiver picks up the transmission. 2) And should a receiver ever become damaged or need replacement it is not
necessary to re-enroll the transmitters. Simply replace the receiver and perform a data bus enrollment of the receiver to the
control panel.
IMPORTANT: There are several models of Wireless (RF) Receivers built for the Elk-M1 and M1EZ8 controls. The
M1XRFEG supports GE 319.5MHz transmitters while the M1XRF2H supports Honeywell (Ademco) transmitters. An
older model (M1XRF2G) aslo supported the GE transmitters, however this model was phased out and replaced
by the M1XRFEG part number.
THE BRAND OF TRANSMITTERS INSTALLED BE MATCHED TO THE CORRECT RECEIVER.
A single M1 Control can accept a mixture of receivers and transmitters. However, extreme care must be
exercised to assure that each transmitter brand is within range of it's respective receiver model. In other words,
the receivers are physically and electronically different and can only receive the transmissions of their particular
brand transmitters.
