ELK-M1EZ8 Cross Platform Control

Integrates – Security – Energy & Task Management – Lighting

M1EZ8, the newest member of the ELK M1 Control Family, offers an economical solution for installations not requiring the voice and telephone remote control capability of the M1 Gold. Unlike controls that only offer basic security capability, M1EZ8 is a powerful, rock solid security control with the most imaginative automation functionality available. Built on the same software architecture as the M1 Gold, the possibilities for expansion, networking, and option for programming and control over the internet make the M1EZ8 an exceptional value.

Installers will value the flash memory firmware, fast PC programming, ease of installation, plus optional RS-232 serial port and Ethernet connectivity.

End users will welcome the quality and futuristic capabilities of the versatile keypad.

M1EZ8 offers the flexibility to integrate industry standard systems and components for easy upgrades and system expansion. Interfaces well with lighting controls, HVAC communicating thermostats, touch screens, etc. Optional Ethernet port controls M1EZ8 and networked systems from a PC browser, anywhere. Does not require a dedicated, "24/7" server.

ELK-M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat Interface, Serial Port Expander
ELK-M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat Interface, Serial Port Expander

ELK-M1XSP Lighting/Thermostat Interface, Serial Port Expander

This is a "3 in 1" product. As a lighting interface, it adapts the M1 Control to many brands of Lighting control products which use "serial" communications. i.e.,OnQ-ALC, PCS-UPB, EDT, CENTRALITE, VANTAGE, etc. As a thermostat interface, it adapts the M1 Control to HVAC Communicating Thermostats from companies such as:RCS, APRILAIRE, and HAI. As a serial port expander, it expands the RS-232 communication ports of the M1 for multiple connections to most any type of equipment that communicates using serial ASCII commands. i.e., Personal Computers and high end whole house subsystems such as: CRESTRON, AMX, etc. Jumpers on the M1XSP select the appropriate application, connection, and protocol. Best of all, the M1XSP operates from the 4-wire (RS-485) M1 Keypad data bus, allowing RS-232 ports to be located long distances from the control. The M1G (Gold) Cross Platform Control supports up to 7 M1XSPs while the M1 (Std) supports 1 M1XSP. The communications baud rate is adjustable from 300 to 38,400 baud.
