APPLICATION:
The ELK-M1XSP 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, 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 many
types of equipment which feature an RS-232 communications connection. 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) and M1EZ8 Cross
Platform Controls support up to 7 M1XSPs. The communications baud rate is adjustable from 300 to 38,400 baud.
The unit comes complete with cable and a black surface mountable housing.
