The ELK-M1PCSPIM is a unique Powerline Interface Module equipped with an integrated M1XSP Serial Port chip. This all-in-one device simplifies the permanent connection between the ELK M1 Control and a UPB network.
To set it up, you only need to find a convenient unused AC Power Outlet, connect a cable from the M1 data bus to the four (4) terminals on the ELKM1 PCSPIM, and complete an M1 data bus enrollment. Thanks to the M1 data bus’s long-distance capabilities, you can position the ELKM1 PCSPIM virtually anywhere, without the need for complex or unsightly cabling or connections.
UPB utilizes the existing AC wiring circuit for transmission, eliminating the need for new or additional wiring and avoiding the use of radio frequency signals.
- All-in-one device for interfacing M1 with UPB.
- Compact interface requires a small amount of space.
- Easy hookup — requires only the 4-wire data bus connection. * NO 9-Pin Serial Cable *
- Includes UPB Status light (multicolored) AND a M1 Data Bus Status Light (Green) — enhances the ability to diagnose and troubleshoot.
- Lower cost than purchasing separate and M1XSP and PCSPIM products.
- Removable 4-pin terminal block connection
