DELInstallations said:You didn't mention how the cabling and bus is connected, such as through physical connections/conductors or category cable. Part of the largest issue out there is RJ45's and improper crimping. Second to that is cable that is secured too tightly and cold flow of conductors.
Too tired to drag out the bus voltage specs, but Elk can provide the troubleshooting steps and what is within their spec. Ground faults are not dependent on the system being connected to earth ground.
You're going to need to split the bus/devices and meter or let the system run to see when it behaves and when there's issues.
My system experienced another reset today. Amy at Elk and DELInstallations have said that a bus short can cause a reset. This has been difficult for me to understand because the complex system works until it randomly resets. DELInstallations' above quote mentions that a cable secured too tightly can cold flow insulation. The CAT5 cable used for my bus runs has thin insulation on the wiring and I DO have the last two devices (ELK two-way and Honeywell receiver) daisy-chained with a piece of CAT5 that is pulled tight through the cap plate and run down through the wall! ARGH! This seems like a good place to start my serious troubleshooting! Again, thanks to you DELInstallations and Amy for your input. I will post the results of my troubleshooting.
