Hello, I have used the Elk's current draw spreadsheet with worst case amperage draws and with the motion, water, and smokes all on the AL400, the Elk-1280 battery satisfies a 4hr standby, which, i believe, all the alarms can be sounding for 4hrs. Using standby amperages only, the Elk-12180...

Hello, Yet another smoke detector question... Id just like to verify my wiring method is acceptable or is the common method and I'm just over thinking it... I will have a COSMOD2W Module with 6ea 2WTA-B and 3 COSMO-2W detectors attached. Power will be from an Altronix AL400ULPD4. In order to...

This is what I was thinking would happen with the M1 after the sale as no one I've talked with has heared of it, and I certainly do not want to teach someone or leave instructions on its use. I've waffled on purchasing something new but having to learn it is a time suck I don't need; I forgot...

Thanks for reply. No, no resisters used. I'm pretty sure the System Sensor smokes are 2 wire but honestly need to check. It's been a while. I'll look into the Vista panel.

We are building a new house and id like to take our current M1 along to new house. I then would like to replace it with something inexpensive at the house we would be selling. Any suggestions as to what to look into? Everything is wired with no wireless sensors. four keypads. Biggest problem...

Either take the assembled strut assy in to have someone do it or get a proper spring commpessor.  Using the chassis as weight to compress spring doesnt work so well as you'll pick the car up off jack stands trying to compress spring enough to loosen up. You can imagine the potential energy in...

On my screen it looks like a bat

Perfect. Thank you for the answers. I didnt think much if anything changed but wanted to verify.

Just a quick question.   We are about to build a new house. Our current house has Elk M1 and a number of modules which i purchased in 2009-2010 but did not end up putting to use. Items such as the following: ELK-P412 power supply/battery charger, ELK-PD9HC power supply, ELK-M1RB relay board...

thanks for the answers. will probably just go with another speaker to keep it simple.

hi im not finding the info i need so i come here. i have an EZ8 with the stock interior speaker. I want to add an exterior siren but do not see the hook up for this. Will the ELK-100 Siren Driver make this happen. Thanks eric

Typically the thermostat is placed nearish the most central cold air return for the system it is controling.

what is the old versus new Prozone? i used to be able to access but havent been able to for a while now. thanks eric

Hi sorry i see i left out the System Sensor model. They are all 2WTA-B. Does anyone have any ideas? thanks eric

hi all i have eight SS 2-wire detectors connected to my M1. I am using the SS RSS-MOD to get all to sound together. The jumper is set to "2-smoke" on J16. Power for everthing comes from VAUX as i should be below its max rating. Power for the OUTPUT 3 "COMM" comes from VAUX also. I have two...
