i would like to bypass a glass break detector in my media room when the projector or my receiver is on (they both have 12v trigger outputs) the alarm is triggered all the time by sounds in the room. i am tired of having to remember to do it. is this something that can be done with an elk 924...

i was wondering if there was a way to have the screen awake after the alarm countdown was happening. meaning....i open my door and the screen lights up so that i can enter the code and then after a set amount of time the screen dims again. if the screen is dim after the alarm has been...

cool thanks.

well it looks like i anwered my own question. i am going to set all of the motions in the path to follower.

is this normal? do i need to have a rule to disable to motion detectors once the entry delay starts? should the motion be set to interior follower? i have 2 entrances that have an entry delay and one is in the path of a motion detector. once you walk inside the alarm immediately goes off...

elkm1g with an older ademco glassbreak sensor in normally closed mode. i can manually put the sensor in test mode and use my glass break test tool and the sensor shows 'red' if the alarm is armed (the sensor is configured 03 = burglar perimeter instant) but when i test with the tool the green...

thanks!!

thanks for the quick response so does it matter which side of the contact the EOLR is on? (zone input or negative side) and in which direction on the line the EOLR is facing? (meaning the EOLR has 3 red stripes and a gold is there a correct in and out to a resistor?)

I am in the process of installing my new Elk M1Gold Panel. I currently have an Ademco/Honeywell Vista50p with several hardwired and wireless zones. The windows & doors are all hardwired homeruns back to the panel in series with the EOL resistor making up 3 zones. (windows split into 2 / doors...
