Our power went out last night, and the Elk keypads displayed AC Failure, Ethernet Trouble, and eventually Low Battery. I think it is interesting that the log records "1138=AC Failure Trouble" 14 minutes after the power failed and the "1383=Ethernet Trouble" message was recorded.
During the outage the keypads chirped every 30 seconds, and they continue to do so as the battery is recharging. Now that we have power again, I logged onto the M1 with ElkRP and selected Globals. On the "G06-G10 (Zones)" tab I deselected the "Audible system troubles" checkbox, and then I clicked on "Send to Control." However, the keypads are still beeping every 30 seconds.
At what voltage does the system decide there is low battery voltage? When I first noticed the message on the keypad I measured the voltage as 12.76 at the battery terminals.
Is there any way to shut the keypad 30-second beeps off other than to shut off the Elk contoller? Ideally the keypads would beep to report a system problem, and then I could silence the beep somehow at the keypad.
