Key Features:
- Wireless Network Connectivity: Provides a Wi-Fi connection for the E27 Alarm Engine, so the panel can communicate on your LAN and Internet without a physical Ethernet hookup. Ideal for retrofit installations, apartments, or areas where wiring is impractical.
- Supports 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz): Compatible with standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks. The adapter supports b/g/n protocols, ensuring it works with virtually any modern wireless router or access point for reliable IP communication.
- Dedicated Plug-In Module: Designed specifically for the E27 panel with a direct plug-in connector on the main board. Simply insert the module into the designated slot – no external wiring or power supply needed, as it draws power from the panel.
- Dual Antenna Options: Includes two antennas to suit your installation: a short on-board antenna for strong signal areas or metal enclosures, and a longer antenna with cable for extending outside the enclosure or positioning for better reception. This ensures optimal Wi-Fi signal strength and range.
- Secure & Reliable: Uses your existing network’s encryption and security (WPA/WPA2) to protect communications. The wireless link is robust and stable, enabling the Alarm Engine to reliably send alerts, arm/disarm commands, and status updates over Wi-Fi.
- Enhances Remote Access: With internet connectivity over Wi-Fi, you can easily integrate the panel with ELK’s cloud services, remote management apps, and third-party smart home systems – enabling features like smartphone control and email/text alerts without needing a wired network connection.
Technical Specifications:
- Wi-Fi Standards: IEEE 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz band) supported for broad router compatibility. (Note: 5 GHz networks are not supported, ensure 2.4 GHz coverage at the panel location.)
- Connection Interface: 10-pin dedicated Wi-Fi connector on the E27 Alarm Engine board. No separate power wiring required – the adapter draws power from the control panel’s auxiliary supply.
- Power Consumption: Extremely low draw (~2.1 mA at 12V DC), ensuring minimal impact on the panel’s power budget. The efficient design means you can maintain battery backup times even when using Wi-Fi.
- Antenna Options: 2 antennas included – one short PCB antenna for direct attachment, and one extended antenna with cable (for optional mounting on the enclosure exterior). Both antennas terminate in connectors that attach to the module easily.
- Module Dimensions: 1.25″ x 1.81″ x 0.375″ (compact form factor). Fits neatly inside the control panel enclosure without taking up significant space.
- Installation Requirements: E27 Alarm Engine control (firmware supporting Wi-Fi adapter). Simple plug-in installation; the panel will recognize the module and configure network settings via the Alarm Engine’s software interface or mobile app.
- Included in Package: ELK-AEWF Wi-Fi adapter board, short stub antenna, long cable antenna, and installation instructions. Everything needed to quickly add Wi-Fi capability to your system is in the box.
