This was a close assumption. I installed the wrong resistance. I got a multi meter and reading the resistance on the circuit output 0.8 Kohm. I didn't noticed but some were included with the ELK panel for the 2-wire smoke detectors, I guess this is why 4V didn't go into alarm status too. Thanks...

Sorry for the confusion, Resistor.

Ok, now that we know this is connected properly, I will go and verify the connections on the CO detector that reads 4V on the panel, just to make sure it is correct. If connections aren't the problem, you were suggesting I should check the wiring with a volt meter, I will try to borrow one from...

Ok thanks, I didn't find much information with my searches. Unfortunately no multi meter at hand, I will get one if I need to (I know I should have tested all wires before starting, but I got all excited and started anyway) Looking at the other thread I found the EOLR FAQ, I will read through...

Would I have to connect the EOLR to the COM and NO contacts and leave the NC alone ? I am also wondering why one zone would receive 7.2V while the other one 4V.

The detectors are CO8RD and has the following contacts: COM,NO,NC,GND,12V,24V EOLR installed on NC and NO contacts COM to NEG on panel NO to Zone on panel Power connect to GND and 12V going to panel VAUX power Here is the device spec sheet...

Reading is in ElkRP status window, I guess this must be input voltage. Their connect to their own zones and to the VAUX power.

I wired them both to their own zones for the moment

Hello, I just setup my Elk and wondering why one of the CO is reading 4.0 V while the other one is at 7.2 V, as are both my smoke detectors as well. No trouble reported on the Elk.

I think my assumptions were right, connected everything and powered up with no trouble.

I have started installing my different sensors. I think I have figured out the wiring and EOLR position for the CO and NG detectors (you will correct me if i'm wrong!!) and now I am not sure I got it for the smokes. I have ELK M1G control, American Sensors ASD200 4 wire smokes and CO8RD CO...

I will vote for the PS3 as well. It streams anything and plays Blurays, and you get the "dvd" remote for it for 25$, also works with Harmony with an extra adapter.

Hello All, I just joined CT and thought I would write my first post in this section to say hello world! I am new to Home automation and hoping to find answers to plan and install my home automation system in my new house that is being built. I have experience with structured wiring with my...
