Thanks guys. I've ordered a FG701 to test the glass breakers... I will also try the silverware bowl trick just to see if it still works :)

I made a true daisy chain with cat6.. single cable coming back to the M1. I believe I have a terminator on the last keypad already. It's just the jumper setting right? I like the 1st approach as well. I only have the door and window sensors connected to M1 1-16 zones. The expanders have motion...

Thank you! It definitely makes more sense now.. I'm gonna place COSMOD4W  next to M1 so it's easier to run an extra cable to it.  I have 2 out of 3 keypads on M1BBK2 so I guess I have some options there.   I've only connect the 16 zones on the M1 now..Next on to connecting 2 expanders. Anything...

Hi RAL,   I've finally started connecting the sensors. I'm confused about the smoke/co2 sensors wiring.  Do I need to run 2 FPL wires from ELK panel to COSMOD4W?   In the diagram, I see only 4 wires going out to COSMO-4w though but more going in to COSMOD4W. I was thinking I could mount COSMOD4w...

Cool. I'm installing an EOL resistor in all the motion detectors and glass breakers as you suggested in the previous post.

  Great, thanks guys... now do I need an EOL connector for each of the home run glass breakers and motion detectors?   2. Bosch Blue Gen2 motion sensors home run using 22/4  3. FG-1625 - homerun - 22/4

Can someone tell me how the 4 leads on 22/4 to be connected to the motion and glass break sensors? Thanks!   Please see pictures.

RAL,   Yes, you are correct. I do have 3 input expanders and planning on using at least 2 of them in addition to the main board terminals.  "E.g. say you wire the M1 to the first M1XIN, then daisy chain to a second M1XIN and then on to the keypads from there.  That would be fine." So the...

RAL, Thank you. No, I do not have any expanders I will be connecting. How do I wire the keypads here? I only use 4 wires out of 8 in the cat5e cable? Do I just connect two leads in each terminal on the keypad? Good thing is I put a conduit on the wall where alarm panel will be installed so I...

    I'm back with some more questions as I am getting ready to install the devices.. 1. I ran cat5e cables in daisy-chain in 3 locations for 3 keypads.. Do I need a M1DBH to connect all 3 keypads?  2. I misunderstood running a speaker wire to locations near the keypad. Instead I ran a speaker...

RAL, I don't know what I would have done with all your help. Thank you so much. I ordered the batteries, relays etc. The only piece I am missing right now is the M1XEP Ethernet interface.  I will get a tone generator probe set...most probably the pro3000. Now the structured wiring panel... what...

  RAL, I agree and thanks for the advice. The power supplies usually have efficiency rating so 80% is a good place to be in. I went ahead and ordered an Altronix AL400UXPD16 for $35 off of ebay. The item is new without batteries and the panel/box has some damage. I can live with that. I will...

  RAL, Thanks again!   The list just keeps growing!!  I like the ethernet interface so yes, I will get an M1XEP and use it with included wall supply.   Do I need a power supply with distribution module? I see 4,8 and 16 outputs... If I want to add 2 zone expanders with what I have currently...

RAL,   Yes, the M1Gold came with 20 EOL resistors of 2.2k ohm and I had to use only 6 for the window sensors.    I did some current draw calculation using the spreadsheet. My only concern is the System Sensor 5602 current draw. 5602 data sheet says 6–28VDC / 1A. I have 2 fire detectors.. so not...

  RAL, Thank you. Yes, I tested the contacts and it looks ok. I used multimeter to test each with a magnet placed as shown in the picture. I get close to 0 up to 3/4"..I haven't connected EOL resistor yet. Do I use the one the come with the panel? What value resistors to use for windows? I have...
