Data Bus Enrollment::
Once the data bus address is set to "2" and the M1XRFTW has been powered up then it will be necessary to manually
ENROLL the device in order for the M1 Control to recognize it. Data bus enrollment can be done from keypad programming
"Menu 1 - Bus Module Enrollment" or from the ElkRP Remote Programming Software.
(The steps below require an M1 LCD Keypad)
1. Press the ELK key, then 9 (or scroll up) to display 9 - Installation Programming. Press the RIGHT
arrow key to select this menu.
2. Enter the Installer Program Code. (The default code is 172839)
3. The first Installer Programming menu displayed will be "Bus Module Enrollment"
4. Press the RIGHT arrow key to select this menu. "Enrolling Bus Modules" will display
5. The control will transmit an enrollment message to all data bus devices, followed by a display
showing the total Bus Modules that are enrolled. To view the enrolled devices press the RIGHT
arrow key next to the word Edit.
6. Press the * or Exit keys to exit Installer Programming.

Important considerations when installing an M1XRFTW:
-
A single M1XRFTW wireless transceiver expander is capable of supporting up to 144 wireless Sensors/Zones.
- Although wireless zones are always allocated in Groups of 16, it is not necessary to install or utilize all 16 wireless zones
in the group. However it is important to understand that NO HARDWIRED zones can exist at any of these zone number
locations.
- Special care must be taken to ensure that NO wireless zone numbers spill over into data bus addresses that are already
assigned to a M1XIN Hardwired Zone Expander, or vis versa. It may be necessary to move a hardwired expander and its
related zones up higher in the numbering scheme just to make room for a group of 16 wireless zones.
- Elk strongly recommends that all wireless zones be assigned consecutively. This also means that the wireless group
numbers AND the associated data bus addresses will also be consecutive. Please do not mix hardwired zone expanders
in between groups of wireless zones. The data bus addresses that are potentially vulnerable to this issue are addresses
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, & 10. That is because these addresses are the only locations where the wireless zones (17 thru 160) are
allowed to exist.
- Zone 160 is the highest wireless zone number allowed. Expressed another way, wireless zones cannot exist in the range
of 161 through 208.
- Should a large number of wireless zones be anticipated then it would be wise to AVOID any of these potentially
overlapping data bus addresses (zones) when assigning a hardwired expander.
Example: Let's say we are installing an M1 Control with 64 Elk-M1XRFTW wireless zones. The first zone must begin at
Zone #17 and this is because the M1XRFTW must be assigned at data bus address 2. Starting from 17 and adding 64 zones
means that the last wireless zone would be zone #80. Zone #80 happens to be the last zone in the data bus address #5
location. Therefore, the first available data bus address for a hardwired zone expander would be data bus address #6. NO
HARDWIRED ZONE EXPANDER COULD BE SET to data bus addresses 2, 3, 4, or 5. Each of those data bus addresses are
reserved for the 64 wireless zones.
NOTE: Always try to anticipate whether the system might someday require more wireless or hardwired zones. If the
answer is yes then it would be wise to plan the data bus address assignments in such a way that future growth is
possible without having to default the control or totally re-arrange the addresses at a future date.
