Synopsis-- cannot disarm the armed unit.
I completed most of my installation (still need to connect to GSM radio; XEP ethernet interface; 2-way listen in board), started the Elk, completed all Installer Level Programming (via the keyboard) and started testing.
I changed from 4 digit to 6 digit code on G11.
Using default User Code (Master Code) 123456 (did not change the code itself).
Using default Installer Program Code.
Able to access the programming menus correctly using the Installer Program Code.
In my first arming test, I armed the system (did not require entering a User Code to arm), then violated the front door. Countdown on keypad started. But I cannot disarm the unit with any code. I eventually had to power-down the unit to stop the alarm (indoor 8 ohm speaker behind keypad connected to Output 1).
Upon re-powering the unit, it comes up in armed mode and the countdown timer resumes. Again, cannot disarm the unit with any code.
Other problems:
1. Burned out speaker on Output 2. G26 set to "No," siren driver output. It is not on voltage output. I was getting "Output 2 Problem" and found speaker had burned out. Haven't measured voltage, but assume it was delivering 12 VDC to the speaker. Added 2,200 Ohm resistor across Output 2 terminals to kill the Output 2 Problem error. Currently Output 2 is unused.
2. Had an interim short on motion detector power which caused an "Overcurrent" message on the keypad. Now two of the three PTCs will not reset. Only bottom VAUX works with reliable 13.6 VDC out. Top two VAUX start off around 13 VDC upon power-up, then degrade erratically to 0-1 VDC over a few seconds.
Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
