OK. Some I am getting much closer to understanding the M1 system and greatly appreciate all your help.
Would the 912 or 924 Elk relays be suitable for using outside in a weather proof enclosure? I live in northern California so although it rains in the winter, it doesnt rain in the summer and there is no ice/snow.
Doesnt the M1 have outputs that can trigger the 912/924 relays without an additional power supply?
At the risk of sounding completely ignorant, I am not sure if my transformers are AC or DC. I always assumed they were AC but there is no indication on the transformers or the manufacturers web site. How would this change anything? I will call the manufacturer Monday to find out.
If I dont want to use the M1DBH (I hate crimping RJ45 connectors), I run 4 conductor wire (maybe cat5/6) for the bus? How is it terminated at each end if I dont use RJ45s. Screw terminals? Are those terminals standard on the M1 or do I need to buy a expansion board?
Thanks again.
