Sounds like maybe you have one of your wireless sensors having a problem. Low battery perhaps?Hi,
I have an current ELK M1G with (among other add-ons) a M1XRF2G. From time to time I am getting error messages on the keypad about a "Lost Transmitter". What does this message mean exactly and what (if anything) do I do to correct the problem?
Thank you

Go into the history log and it will tell you which zone has a missing detector
The hourly supervisory transmissions are generally a shorter duration than an alarm transmission, so that if the RF link is weak it will show up as missing in the supervisory transmissions. Find out which transmitter is missing in the log. The battery could be getting weak or something could have moved into its transmission path that is affecting its signal strength. Go to Walk Test Mode (Elk key, option 3) and trigger the transmitter. The M1 will announce the RF Level as the number of data packets received. 4 or less is a weak transmitter.
