    Experience with the Elk two way listen in interface

    I’m considering adding a two way listen in interface to my M1 gold so that I can have additional audio outputs. Does anyone know if the audio output to the additional speakers is the same as the main board speaker output? E.g. announcement of arm/disarm, alarming, etc...

    Central Monitoring

      What does AlarmRelay support using the ElkM1 and XEP? I'm primarily looking for 24/7 monitoring to contact emergency services police/fire in the event that I am not responding.

    Smoke/Heat/Fire with existing wired smoke detectors

    We had to have conventional wired smoke and CO2 sensors that are not tied to our alarm system based on local requirements. I have two/three objectives; add some smoke/heat sensors near the battery backup system we have, and to monitor our smoke/co2 detectors and fire sprinklers with our alarm...

    2019 Glass Break Detect

    I am looking for a low profile wired glass break sensor. Does anyone have experience with the Honeywell FG-1625F? How about the Bosch DS1103I?   Thanks!

    RS485 bus wiring

    Mike, Thanks for the input. The intent of the DBH was future flexibility. Nearly everything on the data bus will be in a single cabinet and will be on a single leg of the bus. Right now I only plan to have one keypad off the DBH. Maybe I can just use the DBH for initial testing and keep it at...

    RS485 bus wiring

    The only long run will be for a M1KPAS so even lower draw than the M1KP2. There will be a M1KP near the main unit and I will probably just use 4 wire to that with it terminating the "local" leg of the bus.

    RS485 bus wiring

      I went through the spreadsheet and am well under the 1 amp limit. Thanks for pointing that out.   Right now the only remote items on the RS485 bus will be 2 keypads. I'll give it a go with standard cat5. The 22awg was spendy and going to take a while to arrive. I have dealt with crimping down...

    RS485 bus wiring

    I am starting to wire up my expansion boards onto my Elk M1. I have a M1DBH. On hand I have shielded 18/2, shielded 18/4, unshielded 22/6, 26awg cat5, 24awg cat6, and probably a few other sizes.   - Should I wire the M1DBH directly to the M1G with everything, even local expansion boards off the...

    Elk M1 in a Leviton Enclosure

    Thanks for the information. I thought my setup was overkill, but I guess I am not the only one who wants reliable wired sensors.

    Elk M1 in a Leviton Enclosure

    Hello All, Our place is setup with a Leviton structured media enclosure where all the sensor wires go. Obviously I will not be installing an Omnipro. Are there any pointers to get the Elk M1 equipment into the Leviton enclosure? It looks like it will involve a lot of drilling.   Thanks, Ian
