I have had this identical problem with a m1kpas. What's more, I bought a brand new m1kpas, and that didn't resolve the problem. Seems to happen about once every 10 or 15 times I try to disarm the system with it. Very puzzling and frustrating. I've done all the normal troubleshooting: databus is...

I have 80 zones in my system, and, until recently, hadn't used any in the 65-80 range. I just added a zone 65. It looks like my M1KPNAV keypads cannot see zone 65, and they stop the display after zone 64. This applies to both the "zone status" menu, and also the "show violated zones" feature...

Wow, "TrojanHorse", you solved it! That's exactly what's going on. I do indeed have disabled rules. I guess that means that the behavior I'm seeing is not an indication that there's anything wrong, and i should just ignore it. Or to use the old phrase, "it's not a bug, it's a feature". It's...

thanks for your suggestions. Am still stuck: multiple battery replacements to no avail, have tried "send all" to panel from RP

Yes indeed, have all the latest firmware. Thanks.

Every time I do a "connect to system" to my M1 Gold with my RP software, I get a popup saying "Conflicts found..." with the two check-box items highlighted being Rules and Texts. I can send my configuration to the system, disconnect, and then reconnect 2 seconds later and I get the "Conflicts...

RAL, that's a fantastic idea. Thank you very much.

I want to be able to use one of my keypad function-keys to toggle a relay and various other things on and off. Press it once and the stuff goes one, press it again later and the stuff goes off. Seemed pretty straight-forward. I set up a task, and assigned that task to a function-key on the...

You taught me something new by pointing out the rule "Whenever f4 key on any keypad activates". I've always dealt with f-keys by assigning tasks to each f-key in the keypad programming, then having a rule saying "whenever task x acvitates...". I suppose both methods work the same. But now you've...

The the system is armed and an exterior door is opened starting the entry countown, the keypad sounds a fairly loud, solid tone. I know I can adjust keypad beeps and tones in RP2, but these seem to be for keypad presses, and none of these seem to have any bearing on the entry countown alert...

I installed several Macurco CM-E1, which I haven't had any problems with. They have a nice sleek low profile

Thanks, BSR and Mike for those helpful replies. As far as I know nothing has changed lately. Voltages are good. The only slight change is that I'm paying more attention, as I have added a rule to notify email me on system startup. It's possible this has been happening on-and-off over the years...

just reviving this thread, as I too am having random restarts with my Elk M1. I saw comments below about a possible battery or battery terminal problem, but my battery is new (both my main battery, plus the little button battery on the M1 board are both within a year old). Any other theories as...

"joek"... thanks for that info. I was just exploring NextAlarm... it looks like they require me to buy their ABN4A IP adapter, and they aren't set up to talk to the M1XEP. I'm hoping to do IP based mointoring, not cellular. (I have very reliable internet service, not-great-cell reception, and am...

picking up this old thread from October, as I'm about to sign up for monitoring for my M1 Gold. I have similar comments to "Ano" above... have explored AlarmRelay, but don't get the warm and fuzzies. Any other options out there for DIYers on Elk ?
