Noted. Ill use the search function with the keyword given above.

When we built the house, the low voltage company told me that they only run a single 4wire home run to a single smoke detector, that way you can replace the existing smoke with one that can be monitored through the M1. So when any one goes off in the house, it will trigger the alarm to be sent...

Yes that person was me, thats why Im gun shy! So on the XIN, Ill have multiple wires going to a screw down terminal? But still wont be using the blue pair. Cat5 cable is brittle and hard to work with outside of a RJ45 plug.

So am I supposed to use 4 wire cable or cat5 from the M1XIN to a DBH? Tried the cat5 route using the diagram for the keypads, but it didnt power up. It had an RJ45 on one end, and bare wire on the other into the XIN. It powers up just fine using the 4wire bench testing wire included with the...

Ok, so now since the system is still expecting that keypad, its refusing to let me delete it in RP. Ive deleted it in RP, powercycled the Elk, then gone back into RP and did the enroll, and it still comes back with a conflict that the old keypad is still configured in the system, but no in the...

So are you saying my data bus hub is also bad?

Boy you arent kiddin! Cant believe I reversed them. Thank you for your good eye. Guess I need to order another KP2 now.

CRAP! YOUR RIGHT! I was looking at it just opposite!

Heres a better shot of the flush mount. Also a close up of the RJ45 and DBH.

Im almost scared to plug the other 2 keypads in now. Ill take a pic of my RJ45 crimp and post it. I need another set of eyes to make sure its correct. Also the screws that came with KP2 are the ones I used. I dont remember any being in the flush mount kit.

We had storms here last night, either that, or I got one of my wires crossed in the RJ45.

Ok, thats what I did, however, I now have a fried keypad. I can actually see burn marks on the back of the board.

Im using cat5 home runs. In the M1DBH manual there is a wiring diagram to wire one end of the run to an RJ45 plug and the other end of the run to the harness that hooks up to the M1KP2. However, its a bit confusing when it talks about the Blue and Brown wire on the wiring harness. If the Blue...

I have one data bus hub on the way, which the 3 keypads will be wired to. I guess my main question, about connecting power. If there are 4 wire requirements, 2 for power and 2 for the contact, how do you stack all the power wires together? Also, since there are 3 speakers, each one behind the...
