With Built-in Recordable Voice Annunciator and NetworkX Security Interface. 4 inputs, 4 outputs, X-10®, iButton™, Weigand Proximity.
The MM447 product is a Magic Module ( MM443 ), a Recordable Voice Annunciator ( MV480 ), and a NetworkX NX Security Interface (ML8) integrated onto a single printed circuit board. It was specifically designed to mount into a NetworkX NX series Control allowing for quicker and easier implementation of integration and automation applications such as the popular HomeControl.

The MM447's four analog/digital inputs and four relay outputs have virtually no limits and can be used as a stand alone field programmable controller in a vast array of applications from timers, door controllers, simple process controllers, etc. or as a networked controller with other modules connected on a common RS-485 data bus. All data bus modules are assigned a device type and up to 31 of each type may interconnected together. A telephone style RJ-11 connector allows an X-10 Power Line Interface to be added for transmitting and receiving signals across the AC power line. This same connector can alternately be used with our Access Interface ( MA290 ) for reading Dallas iButton™ ID devices or Proximity cards for identification and access control applications. Optional Temperature and Clock/Calendar modules can be interfaced to the MM447.
The Voice Annunciator messages may be played back using commands from the controller, a personal computer, or from many popular brands of controls and equipment that have an RS-232 or RS-485 serial port and are capable of transmitting ASCII strings. Message channels are factory recorded but may be custom recorded using the on-board microphone or computer WAV files.
The MM447 is shipped programmed with the software application "HomeControl". This is the same software that comes in the popular ELK-MKHOME1 rev. 2 kit. HomeControl was developed as an automation application to interface with a NetworkX "NX" Security Control and focuses on the interaction of the security system to automate tasks within a typical home. Existing security sensors along with the control's arming status are utilized to trigger true automation operations such as setback of heating, cooling, and lighting subsystems when the building is not occupied, voice annunciation of key events, plus the added safety and security deterrent that automatic lighting can provide during the crucial moments of exiting and entry. To fully complete the application simply add a Two-Way X-10 Transceiver (PSC05) and a speaker (ELK-73). By connecting this to a NetworkX NX8, NX6, or NX4 Security Control and some X-10 modules, it's possible to have a powerful lighting control and voice messaging automation system up and running in less than one hour. Energy savings are but a short step away with the addition of an electric Water Heater controller such as the ELK-9100, or an HVAC Setback Thermostat such as the ELK-MTHT. Many of the automation functions are controlled by time and day utilizing the clock/calendar from the NX Security Control.
The MM447 communicates with the NX Security Control via the ML8. There are 16 event conditions from the control which are monitored. These events are assigned to perform one or more of the following: 1)Transmit X-10 commands, 2)Activate a scene macro, 3) Activate a relay, 4)Announce a message. Changes can be made with "push-button" ease from a Windows 95/98 PC using our new "Application Writer" software included in the ELK-MK485 Programming Kit (sold separately).
The MM447 uses the same programming software as the MM443 and MV480. The software and peripheral components are available in our Programming Kit ( ELK-MK485 ) or Starter Development Kit ( ELK-MK400 ). Programming is accomplished by way of a PC using ELK's Magic Module Development software. Programs may be written using either the automatic Code Writer or Application Writer interfaces which construct programs from a visual question list into a lower level Intermediate Code. The Intermediate Code, known as SIMPLE, is a Basic-like high level language that compiles the Intermediate Code into code byte's. The code is then downloaded from the PC to the MM447 over the data bus using the PC's serial port and a RS-232 to RS-485 converter (MB485 included in the programming kit). The code is stored in Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory(EEProm memory). The microprocessor reads out of EEProm memory and executes the code through a built in operating system. Once programmed, the MM447 may be disconnected from the data bus or the PC may be turned off.
