Integrating Rosslare to the Elk using m1kam

LVLT

New Member
I have an ELk m1g panel and have the Rosslare AYC-G64 which I'm trying to Integrate with the elk using the m1kam,to operate a doorstike, I have the m1kam setup as a keypad, but I cant figure out how to configure the Rosslare to interact with it.

Thank you everyone for your help so far, the wealth of information available so far just by looking around has been great.
 
Since I'm not going to register to get a manual for the reader, I can see a couple of issues, depending on the functionality desired, however....

The most you're going to get a M1 to recognize is 26 bit weigand data, which they have a calculator to change the site ID and credential # into a format the M1 will recognize. You have to also remember, the M1 is not a "normal" access controller as far as functionality goes.

You will not be able to get the PROX+PIN function of the reader to work directly with the M1, no how, no way, as the system can't take the additional data on the weigand for it. If the PIN function is local to the controller only, that's the only way that part of the reader would work. LED functions of a typical reader would require the additional connection to a LV trigger or dry contact (depends on how your reader's red/green LED's function.

In the case of a KP that wires to a weigand input, most require a site ID and the PIN is the same as the credential number, with either beginning or trailing 0's. Usually the data is stored in the unit until a button such as # is pressed, which causes the unit to dump the weigand data to the controller.
 
Hi thanks for your response, I'm really just planning on using the Rosslare to activate a door strike via the keypad and not use the proximity aspect, I want to place this outside the entrance to allow access to the building. Are you saying that this will not fit my needs?
I had looked at the calcualtor earlier but I'm unsure where to obtain those numbers and what to do with them. This product seems similar to the Rosslare http://resource.boschsecurity.com/documents/Operation_Guide_enUS_1368099211.pdf

Once again thanks.
 
Any reader gets wired with weigand 0/1 and power to the KAM. All readers are the same in that regard. If you were intending on using both functions as a single entity, that should work, however combining the two for a swipe + PIN to grant access is not going to work.

Based on the document you attached, the specific section of interest is 5.3.5. That is the format and method you need to transmit the data to the KAM/M1G in.

You will need to pick a site code, which is any #, 1-255. Then you plug in that number and the PIN you pick out into the calculator and then input the user via RP and check the box for "user has access credential instead of code" any additonal options, such as access, arm/disarm are then applied there. If you have credentials, you need to know the site code and also the credential number, both of which are entered in the calculator, then copied into RP with the same attributes I pointed out above.

There should be a REX and DPS wired into the KAM, letting the KAM control the contact and not the M1 directly.
 
Ok thank you for your help I now have the pad communicating with the kam, now I have to just figure out how to program it properly.
 
I also have 5 motions set up with the elk, is it ok to splice the power and have it run to 1 vaux ouput, the draw is .15ma.
 
I would use as many terminals on VAUX the panel possible, then double up as needed, unless you have lots of devices, then pigtailing might be necessary.

There really should be no programming to the keypad other than format and site ID. The remaining programming is done in the Elk, using the method I detailed.
