    Request: Poll & Set Chime Status via RS232

    Please refer to the M1 ASCII protocol document page 36. Note the "kf" command... If you send 09kf01000D5 followed by carriage return line feed to the M1, it will reply back with the "KF" string... The "KF" response will have the chime status for all 8 areas in the M1... Any time the chime...

    ElkRm software

    Very interesting... Everything looks ok here... Is there any way you can export your ElkRP account and send it to Elk. I will setup a system with your accound to see if I can duplicate your problem... To export an account in ElkRP: Open up the account in ElkRP... Click on the "File" menu...

    ElkRm software

    One last thing to try before we take drastic measures: On your WinXP machine, try to make a "Hyperterminal" connection to your XEP on port 2101. To access Hyperterminal, goto Start>Programs>Accesories>Communications>Hyperterminal Name the connection anything you want... In the "Connect...

    ElkRm software

    Couple things to try: 1) Unplug the ISY from your LAN or completely power it back off. Power cycle your M1 and XEP (do not power back up the ISY). Allow the M1 to boot, and give a few minutes for the XEP to completely boot up. Test ElkRM to see if you get connected and everything is working...

    ElkRm software

    Just a brief overview: ElkRM has a "three strikes and your out" routine for requesting data... In your first reply, you saw the following data: XMIT: 06rr0056 XMIT: 07ps30023 XMIT: 07ps30023 XMIT: 07ps30023 ElkRM tried to poll for status of the third lighting bank 3 times and then it...

    ElkRm software

    This is one of those "undocumented features". It's mainly a tool for tech support to help trouble shoot problems like the one we are experiencing here... Hope it will help us out in this situation!!! Please note that if you have Russound equipment, it will show data from the Russound as...

    ElkRm software

    Try the following steps: 1) Disable any firewalls/anti-virus temporarily (sounds like you have done). 2) Open ElkRP and connect to your panel. On the "Account Details" screen, click on the "M1XEP Setup" Button. Go to the TCP/IP Settings tab and do a "Receive". Verify that the Non-Secure Port...

    Need guidance for new Elk M1G installation.

    You shouldn't have a problem getting all of this into the 14" cabinet. You should be able to mount the M1RB and the M1XOVR on the Elk-SWG's(Circuit board glides) to the left and right of the M1. The DBH will come on a 3" structured wiring plate that will allow you to mount it below the M1...

    Need guidance for new Elk M1G installation.

    Please note that outputs 9-16 on the M1RB are relays... Outputs 7 and 8 are positive voltage outputs... You could wire in an external relay to outputs 7 and 8 to get the two other relays you need(10 sprinkler heads). This is assuming you do not need relays for other options... Don't forget...

    Can I wire it this way?

    Great!!! Hope everything goes well for you...

    Can I wire it this way?

    Everything sounds correct, and yes, you'll need to connect a jumper from the neg of the M1 to the spare1 since this is where you will be connecting your NEG of the P624. If you put +12V on spare2 on the M1DBH, you can use this wire to distribute power from your P624. If you have something you...

    Can I wire it this way?

    Your wiring for the add on P624 sounds good with one minor adjustment... You will need to common up the output NEG from the P624 to the M1G's NEG. Remember that the Elk-M1DBH has a "SPARE 1" and "SPARE 2" on the input terminal block. If you are not using these, you can use them to run your...
