Dan, you don't need to reboot M1, only the M1XSP to get it to scan for devices.

Look under User Authorizations and remove the check mark in the box marked "Access". You will need to do this for every user code.

Trust me, the part number is correct. Tell your Elk Distributor to contact Elk and special order it. Being new it's not made the product sheets or the website yet. ELKW046A

Elk sells the Molex to DB9 cable needed for Uplink. Contact a distributor and ask them to special order from Elk part # ELKW046A.

Connecting directly to the battery is Not a good recommendation for continuous use devices. You would be better off connecting to the panels' Aux. Output and staying under the stated total continuous current rating. Drawing continuous power from the battery is somewhat unsafe even with the...

Understood. So what you really need is a charger/power supply, not a 12VDC wall wart. Those are OK for cameras or other devices that aren't connected to alarm inputs but not for motions, glassbreaks, etc. You could actually connect your PD9 to the Aux. output of the Omni as it is rated for...

Not certain what you mean about both Omni and PD9 being hooked to the same input transformer? Do you mean you are powering the PD9 from the 12VDC output of the Omni, and the primary source of power for both is the Omni AC transformer? Because the Omni uses a 24VAC transformer primary and then...

When connected to M1 the 2nd relay becomes controllable as a programmable output. Just series the output power through the relay contacts and write a rule to momentarily activate that output.

blmxm, the problem may be that after the XEP update the Unsecure Port became unchecked. There's a new note on the XEP release notes that talks about this. New memory locations were added to the XEP and the location that selects the unsecure port got cleared. ElkRM needs that to be checked...

The sounder built into the prox reader is a piezo sounder. Both the LED and "buzzer" activate momentarily when a card is read (regardless of whether it is valid or not). The sound is actually a fairly high pitched beep as opposed to a "buzz" which is probably what you are expecting to hear...

Hope this clears up the confusion. RMDesigner allows customization of the ElkRM version 2.0.2 and higher. ElkRM stands for Elk Remote Management Software, aka RMS. Effective with the "new" look a few months ago Elk started referring to it as RMS to distinguish the different look. But the...

Of the "nice" additions to ElkRM 2.0.2 (24 listed items on the release notes) I like the weather and the return of the audio music/artist selection for Russound's music server. This release also includes the support necessary to implement the optional RMDesigner software. Just released this...

The ElkRM (RMS) upgrade (ver. 2.0.2) is indeed free to existing licensed owners of ElkRM. It was released on June 8 and is available for download now on the Elk website. Release notes are posted there also. RMDesigner, the configurator tool is not free, but yes it can be used to resize all...

Try putting the following in as your URL: http://www.theweathernetwork.com/common/ma..._all_all_en.jpg The step you missed was to use your PC to access the website, then right click on the weather image, and select Properties. In the case the image was a .jpg and the resolution was 430 x 290...

wuench, the listing may seem confusing but it is accurate. You can connect CQC to the main serial port OR through the M1XEP, but either way the main serial port is taken since the M1XEP has to connect there.
