  • Installation Instructions (PDF)
  • Download ElkRM ElkRM requires product license key for full functionality. Software runs in DEMO mode until product license key is entered.
ElkRM PC Edition Remote Management software runs as an executable program on virtually any personal computer or Pocket PC running the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0. It provides a powerful graphic user interface to an M1 or EZ8 system. It allows the control of many aspects of the M1 or EZ8 system including security, lighting, climate, tasks, outputs, etc. ElkRM Remote Management software can connect to the control through an Ethernet network or direct through the control’s main serial port (serial connection should not exceed 50 ft.). Multiple connections can be established through the Ethernet network, while connection through the control’s main serial port allows only a single connection. Ethernet connectivity requires the ELK-M1XEP Ethernet Interface to be installed and properly configured on the system.

IMPORTANT: ElkRM does not currently support SSL (encrypted) secure connections. As such, ElkRM cannot be used outside the local network without opening (port forwarding) the non-secure, unencrypted port. Connecting to ElkRM outside the local network using the non-secure port is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED, due to the obvious security issue this presents.

When Ordering ElkRM Please Note: The ElkRM PC Edition requires a product key license to obtain full functionality with a control. A product key license may be purchased from us online or by phone. The serial number from your controler must be provided when ordering. Until a product key has been purchased and entered into ElkRM, it will run in DEMO mode, allowing only limited functionality.

  • Screen Type: Full TFT, Color, Super Bright Display
  • Resolution: 800 x 480 Wide VGA
  • Operating System: Windows CE
  • Processor Type: Arm 920
  • Processor Speed: 200mHz
  • Memory: 64MB SD RAM, 32 MB Flash
  • Bezel color: White
  • Installation Instructions (PDF)
The ELK-TS07 is a 7" touchscreen that operates with M1 or EZ8 controls. It features a bright TFT display, powerful microprocessor, and built-in ElkRM Remote Management Software to satisfy the most discriminating taste. The easy to use graphical interface is designed to simplify the operation of both automation and security.

As a Windows CE device, the TS07 is actually a small computer. It has a CAT5 modular Ethernet port connector on the back which allows it to be connected directly to a LAN (local area network) router/switch. Connection to an ELK-M1 or M1EZ8 Control panel is accomplished by the addition of an ELK-M1XEP Ethernet Interface (separate purchase) which installs between the controls main serial port and the LAN.

For ultimate ease of installation, the TS07 features PoE (Power over Ethernet) compliance. All that’s needed is a PoE compliant LAN router/switch or a mid span injector device to be able to power the touchscreen directly through the same CAT5 Ethernet cable that connects it to the network! Just think, no more wasted time hunting for a convenient AC outlet or running additional DC power wires! Mid span injectors and router/switches with PoE technology are the latest innovation and can be bought at most computer supply stores. For cases where PoE is not readily available, the TS07 is packaged with a plug-in 110VAC to 12VDC 4 Amp Power Supply.

When connected to a LAN that has high speed Internet service, the TS07 is fully capable of internet browsing. Internet Explorer is pre-installed as part of the Windows CE operating system. Think about it, you can surf the web just like a standard PC, and, with the built-in ElkRM software, you can set up "Links" for easy access to frequently visited websites.

Out of the box the TS07, with the ElkRM software, allows you to view video imagery from certain brands* of IP accessible cameras and DVR recorders, with no additional hardware to purchase! You can even access up to date information on weather, traffic, stocks, and more!

The ELK-M1XZW is a radio transceiver interface designed to allow an M1 Controller to interface with Z-Wave enabled devices. Z-Wave technology is a wireless bi-directional communications network consisting of devices such as: Plug-in Dimmer Modules, Wall Mount Switches and Dimmers, Plug-in Appliance Modules, Motion/Occupancy Sensors, and HVAC Thermostats (coming soon). The M1XZW interface functions as a Z-Wave Secondary Controller OR as a Z-Wave Static Update Controller (SUC) for holding the Z-Wave system setup programming. The interface connects to the M1 RS-485 data bus and is enrolled and identified as a Type 5 Expander. As such, it may be remotely located anywhere along the RS-485 data bus within the maximum stated distance limits. The housing is designed for wall mounting and includes mounting screws and anchors.
