    Installation instructions for the ELK-AERF9 Two-Way Wireless Transceiver — an add-on RF receiver/transmitter that gives the ELK E27 Alarm Engine support for ELK's two-way wireless sensor line.

    Overview / Application

    The ELK-AERF9 is a two-way wireless transceiver that allows the E27 Alarm Engine to support ELK's two-way wireless line of sensors. It connects to a dedicated connector on the E27 board, or to an ELK-AEXRFA RF Data Bus Adapter. It features LED indicators for status and RF signal activity.

    Specifications

    Wireless Zone Capacity 128
    Operating Frequency 902 MHz to 928 MHz
    Current Draw 35mA receiving, 85mA transmitting

    Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.

    Installation Instructions

    Before installing the wireless transceiver, TURN THE E27 MASTER POWER SWITCH OFF.

    1. Remove the cover from the E27 board or AEXRFA adapter and locate the 6-pin connector and 3 screw studs in the upper corner.
    2. Carefully align the 6-pin male connector in the lower right corner of the AERF9 wireless transceiver with the 6-pin female connector on the E27 board or AEXRFA adapter. Ensure the AERF9 is fully seated into the connector.
    3. Install the 3 provided screws through the AERF9 into the screw studs on the E27 board or AEXRFA adapter.
    4. The supplied antenna is intended for use when the AERF9 is installed on the E27 main board — it will extend out through the top of the enclosure. Remove the antenna knockout in the top of the enclosure, then install the antenna in the ANT screw terminal in the upper left corner of the AERF9.

    The AERF9 must be enabled in the E27 system using the ElkConnect App. If the AERF9 is connected to the main board, go to System Settings and enable "On-board RF Receiver." If connected to the AEXRFA adapter, go to Bus Devices and enroll the AEXRFA.
