ELK - E27CB - Alarm Engine E27 Main Board

Product Overview

The ELK E27CB is a powerful hybrid alarm control engine supporting up to 128 zones (16 on-board) and 8 partitions. It features integrated Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi with high-level encryption for secure intrusion and safety monitoring. Beyond security, it serves as a robust automation hub, managing up to 64 Z-Wave lights, 8 locks, and 4 thermostats, all accessible through multi-layered authentication for 199 unique users.

Key Configuration

• • Inputs: 16 on-board zones, expandable to 128 total (hardwired, wireless, or hybrid); supports two-way or 319.5 MHz wireless sensors
• • Outputs: 2 alarm outputs with built-in siren driver, 1 Form "C" relay, 10 voltage outputs (12VDC, 50mA), expandable to 32
• • Areas: up to 8; users: up to 199 (10 user groups); keypads: up to 8
• • Supports 4-wire (any input) and 2-wire (inputs 14, 15, & 16) smoke detectors with fire alarm verification routine
• • Power: requires ELK-P1426 14VDC 2.6A power supply (not included); hardware watchdog and nonvolatile EEPROM memory

Key Features

The features include built-in Ethernet (Wi-Fi optional) and a powerful Z-Wave automation engine for managing lights, locks, and climate control. Its robust rules engine and simplified scheduling offer unrestricted customization, while flash memory allows for easy field firmware updates. Designed for efficiency, it includes plug-in terminal blocks, a 500-event history log, and a dedicated fire alarm verification routine for enhanced safety.

Technical Context

Ыupports up to 128 wireless zones and as many as 5 receivers, with compatibility for both two-way and 319.5 MHz sensors. It operates on a 2.5A power supply featuring a master power switch and low battery cutoff for system protection. Housed in a durable plastic enclosure with an integrated hook-up diagram, it is easily expandable via an optional Z-Wave adapter for comprehensive wireless control.

Installation Notes

Requires an ELK-P1426 (14VDC, 2.6A) power supply and features plug-in terminal blocks to streamline pre-wiring and maintenance. The comprehensive hardware kit includes all necessary resistors (820 and 2200 ohm), mounting screws, and a relay adapter cable. With an integrated hook-up diagram and simplified wiring interface, this board is engineered for efficient, professional-grade installation and service.
