WGL Associates manufacturers a product called the W800RF32. It is basically an RF receiver device that accepts radio signals
from X-10 Radio Transmitters and then transmits ASCII messages out a RS232 serial port. When connected to an M1XSP, the
W800RF32 can become a general purpose, short range RF interface between X-10 Radio transmitters and the M1 or M1EZ8
Controller. These text strings can then be used to activate rules, etc.
- Connect the ELK-M1XSP to the W800RF32 using a 9 pin Serial Cable.
- Set the M1XSP Jumpers to: JP3="232", Mode Jumper S4*="1" (UP), S5="0" (DN), S6="1" (UP), S7="1" (UP), S8="1" (UP).
*Some boards MAY NOT have the S4 jumper. The position of BAUD jumpers S1,S2,S3 does not matter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Software and firmware revisions required are: ELK-M1XSP at version 1.0.14 or greater.
The following X-10 Radio Transmitters have been tested with the W800RF32 into an M1XSP:
Model HR12A, Home Automation Remote Control.
Model KC674, Keychain Remote
Model MS12A, Occupancy Sensor/Motion Detector
Model KR15A, Panic Button Remote Control
The above X-10 RF devices transmit standard House code/Unit code and On/Off, Dim/Bright codes using radio signals. Upon
receipt of these RF commands, the W800 passes the information to the M1XSP which then sends them on to the M1 or M1EZ8
Controller. The Controller can utilze these signals to activate rules and it can additionally retransmit these signals onto the AC
powerline if equipped with a PSC05 PLC interface. Please note that M1 rules can only be activated by ON or OFF commands
from these devices. There is no rule activation support for DIM or BRIGHT commands received from these RF devices.

ADVANCED OPERATION
Model DS10A, Wireless Door/Window Security Transmitter Sensors:
For these security transmitters, the W800RF32 and M1XSP only send the Controller a text string. No House code/Unit code
or other PLC style command is sent from these units. The text string consists of four ASCII characters plus a carriage return
character at the end. The W800RF32 32Bit Data Decoder program is required to determine the DS10A transmitter's
appropriate text string. Once this is done, the ElkRP programming software must be used to create a matching text string in
the Controller. The text string must match exactly with the string sent by the W800RF32. An M1 rule can then be written to
be activated whenever this particular text string is received from the W800RF32.
One string of data is sent when the transmiiter's reed switch becomes open (magnet moved out of range). Another
string of data is sent when the transmitter's reed switch closes. The keys bytes that are utilized in the ASCII string
are Byte 3 and Byte 1 respectively. From the example shown above, the string to be matched by an M1 Text String
would be D221 with a carriage return character at the end.
