thanks that worked

I am finalizing my ELK m1 gold setup and I can't figure out the voice.     When I enrolled my keypads, the voice came through the speakers crystal clear. In the ELKrp2 software when I go to a zone and click send and say, it works perfectly.   However, I can't get the system to alert me of any...

I am looking at the TG1 wiring diagram specifically for the Elk M1 Gold.   It suggests a CAT 6 wire and 1 more conductor for the TRIP IN.   Where I want to put the TG1 is right next to a ELK-M1XRF2H which currently has a dedicated CAT 6 cable but the blue pair is not being used. Can I use that...

I am looking to add 2 outdoor wireless contacts for my 2 gates outside. I have ELK M1 Gold and the Honeywell wireless adapter, M1XRF2H.   This wouldn't be for alarm but rather house notification when these gates have been opened.   Anything you recommend? Wide gap contacts preferred, I think...

Terminal block is the term, it just came to me. Can I get a generic terminal block for that set (4 wires) or does it have to be Elk specific?

I have misplaced my ELK M1 Gold Telephone inserts. I am pretty sure the word inserts isn't the correct term, but it's the green piece that goes on to the mainboard so I can hook up the wires to it. Is there any generic piece I can use or any other method of hooking up the phone line?     My next...

that dhb is amazing, anyone not using it should really consider it.   I was getting the same errors when I first used the dhb and I was able to troubleshoot in seconds rather than days. I was able to get every device up and running except the nav keypads so I immediately knew I missed something...

Yes, I have homerun cat6 cabling. I may try that if I fail in my series connections one more time. I am going to take another crack at it tonight. If I can go back in time I would definitely have purchased the m1dbh, having that many connections in series is a headache.

I tried to fire up my system for the first time and my keypads said "Overcurrent" and would beep and become unresponsive. I removed all my motions from the panel and this fixed the over current problem but they do not get communication. So I am going to redo all the homerun wiring one at a time...

  Ok that was easy!   I think I am all set up for my install, hopefully everything goes smoothly this weekend.

  I plan on having 1x M1KP2, 3x M1KPNAV, 1x M1XRF2H  and 2 zone expanders getting power from the board on (+VKP) Using the spec sheet this totals 450mA   I plan on having 5 motion sensors and 1 glass breakers on the +VAux  Using the spec sheet this totals about 100mA   I assume these loads will...

Bring it to code? Are they sending a building inspector to assure its to code?

Thanks nmcbride, I wanted to make sure I didn't need an external power supply.   One more question, do I have to put EOL resistors on every zone or can I program it to ignore the EOL? On some spots I am going to use the Tane-pill and it will be impossible to hide the EOL resistor and putting it...

I see the ELK M1 Gold has  1.25Amp PTC protected  circuit. Is this 1.25 amps the total throughout the entire unit? For example, you have to add up all the power from panels and motion sensors and they have sum below 1.25 amps? Or is it 1.25 amps per +VAux/+VKP?   My next question is, there are...

Can you provide a model # or link for those rare earth donut magnets? How deep are they? ETA: nevermind, I see honeywell (ademco) offers a model with the magnet included. Do you glue this in or is it snug it will not fall out? I like this idea alot.
