Installation Instructions

Applications and Overview

The ELK-6050 Wireless Smoke Detector is designed for use with Elk's

two-way wireless product line consisting of the ELK-M1XRFTW Trans-

ceiver and the ELK-M1 Control. It is intended for residential and light

commercial applications and incorporates many features designed to

ensure its reliable performance.

The 6050 is powered by long life 3V Lithium batteries, providing power

to both the detector and the built-in wireless transmitter. The unit utilizes

photoelectric smoke detection technology, and also includes fixed

temperature 135°F heat detection and rapid "rate-of-rise" temperature

detection. Built-in self-diagnostics monitors sensitivity and operation

status. Should the unit drift out of the UL Listed sensitivity range or fail

the internal diagnostics, it will extinguish its Alarm/Status LED and signal

a trouble condition to the Control. This detector meets NFPA 72 field

sensitivity testing requirements without the need for external meters. A

sensitivity test feature provides visual indication of the sensitivity level

and warns if service is required. Built-in drift compensation allows the

product to adjust sensitivity automatically as it becomes dirty over time.

The drift compensation feature dramatically increases the time between

cleanings, as well as reducing the chance of nuisance alarms.

Two-way Communications

When multiple ELK-6050 Smoke Detectors are installed and enrolled into

the same Control the two-way communications features offered by the

Elk wireless permit certain communications to flow in both directios. For

example; whenever any 6050 Smoke Detector alarms and the alarm is

communicated to the Control, the Control will broadcast a signal to all other

enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors informing them to turn on their sounder.

Likewise, whenever the alarm is silenced at the Control, a broadcast will

be transmitted to silence the other "like" detectors. EXCEPTION: If smoke

is still present in a detector, that detector will not cease sounding until the

smoke has been cleared. Below is a complete listing of the two-way

communications signals:

Alarm - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the

detection chamber has sufficient smoke or heat to

qualify as an alarm condition.

Trouble - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the

detector has an internal fault and may require

service.

Low - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the

Battery batteries have reached a low voltage state and

must be replaced to maintain proper operation.

Test/Silence - Sent from 6050 to the Control advising that the Test

Button was pressed on a detector which was

sounding an alarm. The Control will treat this a a

silence the Fire audible signal..

Sounder On - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors

informing them to activate their sounder.

Sounder Off - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors

informing them to silence their sounder. This is

triggered by the silencing of the Fire Audible. NOTE:

A detector will not silence if it continues to detect

smoke or heat.

Trouble Off - Sent from Control to all enrolled 6050 Smoke Detectors

informing them to silence their trouble chirps. In the

case of a low battery trouble chirp, if the batteries

are not replaced then the chirp will re-start after 24

hours.

Locations to Avoid Mounting the Smoke Detector o Areas where normal ambient temperature exceeds 100° F (37.8° C). o Dirty, dusty, insect infested areas. o In or near areas with combustion particles (kitchens, garages, furnaces, hot-water heaters, gas space heaters). o On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens, where there is no transom between the kitchen and such rooms. o Damp or humid areas, or near bathrooms with showers.
PAGE 4
Normal Mode Operation o In normal operation, the Alarm/Status LED should flash once every 16 seconds. o In alarm mode, the Alarm/Status LED should be ON – Red Color. o In trouble or maintenance mode, the Alarm/Status LED is OFF. Silencing an Alarm or Low Battery o Press the Test/Silence button to silence the sounder during an alarm and will also silence a Low Battery trouble chirp. o After a few minutes the sounder and alarm will resume if smoke is still present in the detection chamber.

The Elk-6050 Smoke Detector may be enrolled into the Control using one of the following two methods. Enrolling into Control from Keypad Programming Enrolling into Control using ELKRP software Each wireless sensor is programmed with a unique TXID number when manufactured. The unique ID must be enrolled into the control panel at the time of installation, allowing the detector to communicate with that specific control panel. 1. Launch the ElkRP PC software and open the desired Customer Account file. 1.

Maintenance Cleaning the Smoke Detector This 6050 Smoke Detector is designed for a service life of approximately 8 to 10 years. Even so, the following annual and random maintenance tests are recommended: Clean the cover with a dry or slightly damp (water ONLY) cloth as needed to keep it free from dust and dirt. When necessary, use the following procedure to clean the interior of the detector and replace the optical chamber (UTC part #211) as follows: Annual A.
