There is no limit, as long as you are within the amperage draw after everything is all hooked up.

The external power supply is going to be a 12v power supply. You will plug that into the wall and then the 12v out goes to the input on the PD9HC. The PD9HC then has 9 outputs. It's up to you, they are pretty pricey but keep in mind they have overload protection and a nice LED on each output...

The PD9's make it easy to distribute power. They are not power supplies. Think of the PD9's as a power strip that will allow you to easily plug all of your devices (glass breaks, sirens, motions, CO, etc.) into. You can even get away with not using the PD9's and going the cheaper route of just...

Resistors come with your elk panel and wil each of the M1XIN's you use. You will have plenty and don't need to worry about buying more. Otherwise Ratshack would be the place to get more resistors. There is no sense in putting the resistors at the panel. If you are going to use them, they need to...

I'm not to sure on that but I don't think keypads wired in series are going to work. They are not all homerun to the wiring panels? The databus hub has 9 ports, 1 needs to be run to the upstairs databus hub. Based on what you said earlier 5 M1XIN + 4 keypads all to downstairs = 9 and you only...

I can't really help you on your smoke questions but from your shopping list you are missing the ELK-M1DBH databus hubs. This what you will connect all of mudules that communicate on the bus to the M1. For example, the M1XIN's and your keypads. This is what allows you to use a single cat 5 run...

Thank you very much for this. The above steps got my email working as well. Now to set up the emails...

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. I never did get it working and it is difficult for me to call Elk tech support due to the 5 hour time difference I have.

Are you sure about that? Gmail login uses SSL.

Yes, I tried this as well.

Could be the mail server and homeserver domain. However, other computers set to use the credentials in outlook are working fine. I would use a regular email address but all of the addresses I have require SSL which the XEP can not do. This is why I set up the mail server.

I've tried everything I can think of. I even registered a new DDNS name and entered that into the mail server. Again, it works fine on all the PC's and it does not work with the XEP. It is definitely pointing to the XEP. I'm really surprised that there is no logging or debugging with this...

hmm. Since the mail server is on the LAN, I tried the local ip and that didn't work. Should i try setting up dyndns and using that to point to my mail server?

Hey Guys, I am trying to get the M1XEP to send emails out but emails are not being sent. I have tried to use the "test" button and have also entered a rule to send an email that has been configured under email (1) when a zone becomes not secure and it is not sending emails. I run a Windows...
