    ELK Keypad Optional Zone Input and Output?

    Thanks for this info! I looked forever! Where is zone 193 194 195 in the elkrp software! Looked online all over. After a long internet search, found it on good old cocoontech! Hopeful this newer post will help it to be found easier for others. key words: elk m1g keypad input-zone...

    Elk Compact Echo Spkr fried? M1G 13V.

    It turns out my board is bad since the strobe flashes all the time. FYI on the voltages from Elk (which does not seem to match the 1/2V rfdesq measured). Not sure if that has changed at some point?: Output 2 on the ELK-M1 Gold is a Supervised Output --- you will see approximately 13.8 VDC...

    ELK Configuration....

    Wow! Thanks! Very helpful! That is important info! I think the delay is important otherwise if you come home after that time (between the 10 and midnight) IT WILL try to close it on your car. Yes the opener has the safety thing but a suburban is not THAT far from the bottom of the garage...

    ELK Configuration....

    I am having trouble getting the automatic closing of the garage coded on ElkRP. Note that I have the garage on output 3 and that works great (program it to close out3 for 1 sec. does the trick on my opener). The main problem is trying to get a delay of say 5 min. after sending a msg. to the...

    Any experience with these?

    I have recently installed these: Wired: Visonic K-980D Pet Immune Infrared/Microwave Motion Detector 40' X 40' Coverage, about $45. And wireless CADNX481 Pet immunity up to 40 pounds, about $80. I am impressed with the immunity of the Visonic set on 2 counts. The microwave is very...

    Elk Compact Echo Spkr fried? M1G 13V.

    Thanks rfdesq! Wow guess mine is messed up somehow. With ouput 2 unplugged it is reading 14V! 12V w/ the resistor in place plugged in. I went into RP and switched to voltage output hoping it will fix itself. No difference. Still 14 V. Switch it back to siren; turn it off, and run...

    Elk Compact Echo Spkr fried? M1G 13V.

    It has always been set to siren & I just checked RP and it still is. The speaker was working as a siren (only used it once to test) & it sounded as a siren so I know that is correct (since it does not have a driver board in the speaker). What is the supervision voltage suposed to be? Is 13V...

    Elk Compact Echo Spkr fried? M1G 13V.

    Just installed a Elk-73 compact echo speaker (20W, 8 ohm) on output 2 of an Elk M1G. This was the only speaker on that output. It lasted about 2 days and then gave an OUTPUT 2 error on the panel. Sure enough the speaker now measures 1.4 ohms vs. the 8 ohms I measured prior to putting it up...

    Cat 5e For Security Wiring

    I think it is rec'd for keypads due to the data rate (just put in an Elk). Wired motion sensors can use a fair number of wires too. It is always handy to have some spare wires in the area for something else. You can double up or more to drive speakers etc. I think it may be a waste for...

    Elk M1G settings new system

    I thought I would post a couple replies from Brad at Elk. Very helpful. That is a great idea to use Aux1 but be sure the report code is not enabled so it does not go to the central station. Thanks Brad! : --- From Brad at ELK: --- At this time the only items which are entered into the event...

    Elk M1G settings new system

    So I can use Aux 1 if I have it defined as a no-response zone w/ the alarm service? I have the Medical key set up on the keypad & that worked fine. Does that use the Aux1 code also and thus causes confusion? I don't think it did from what I recall. One problem w/using type 16 = non-alarm...

    Elk M1G settings new system

    I am still setting up my system. Need your help. I programmed my entry gates and garage door as keypad reporting code 13, aux1 24hr, CID 150, and used Rules to send a msg. to my keypads since this is a non-alarm reporting code. Thus I did not even call in a test since it is a non-alarm...

    ELK Serial & Ethernet Interfaces, Do I need both?

    Yeah I was debating on getting it too & got it to be safe. Glad I did as you use it constantantly to change the programming. I cannot imagine doing that through the keypad. I still need to install the smoke alarms and more motion detectors. Love the system.

    NextAlarm

    Hey all. I JUST got my Elk M1G set up with the UpLink AnyNet model 19-25133-070 vs. the more expensive -071 unit that requires the 25 pin cable. Another story is how it did not work for a few days despite NextAlarm getting daily reports from it. Turns out they did not check the "serial com...
