I see that the NX-454 comes with a plastic "tray". I assume you mount this, and this allows you access to change the battery. Should I use the double-sided tape, or should I drill it in with screws to make it more secure? ...also maybe I'm being a bit paranoid, but what if someone breaks the...

Thanks! That is what I figured...but the 400mA on the strike didn't jump out at me. Man this forum is helpful!

I have this e-door strike: http://www.smarthome.com/5190S12/Electric-...e-5-S-12/p.aspx I was wondering why I need an external power supply + relay...why can't I just have the output of my M1KP do it. It is rated at 12VDC right?

I will later being using a real monitoring company, but until then I would like to setup my ELK to just call my phone (and a friend if it misses me). I think I should be using option 5 (Voice Message). But this says, I should then use rules. I made an attempt, but it did not call me. Has...

I plan on running a single wire up to my attic, and then putting my ELK-M1DBH, M1XIN, and M1XRF up there. This way I don't have to run as many wires up into the attic, and I assume the XRF will get better reception up there. True? In the manual they are concerned about heat (me thinks), but I...

Thanks. I hooked it up my keypad OK (+, NEG, D0, D1). I then created a user and used this page to get the HEX number: http://cimmino.org/elk/ I then armed the system, typed in the 4 diget code that I entred above...and nothing. What am I doing wrong? - Do I have to configure the AY? (I...

very nice post. I have a AYF64, but no manual. Do you know how I can get one? (the rosslare site is password protected for manuals...seems dumb)

Thanks! That did the trick. Do you know the answer to the other questions?

I looked around a bit and could not find the answer to this one. Is there a better place to find Noobie answers like this? I have a ELK with an elk-m1xin (http://www.elkproducts.com/pdf/M1XIN_Input_Expander.pdf) I am hooking up a NEXT K9-85 Motion PIR (http://www.smarthome.com/73904.html)...

My dream is to be able to open my entry door, and disarm my (ELK) security system at the same time. I'd like to do this via a PROX or a PIN. Here is what I think I need: - Electric Door Strike For Schlage Locks (8-12vdc) (like here: http://www.smarthome.com/5190s12.html) - AY-F64 - Gang Box...
