    Sensor for door with channel

    To clarify, the channel is in the door, not the frame. I can mount the plunger in the frame with no problem, but the open channel in the door will cause the plunger not to be pressed in when the door is closed. I'll have to check in to using a magnetic sensor on the top edge instead. Thanks.

    Sensor for door with channel

    The channel extends the entire height of the door. I believe the hinges were attached at the factory and include a spacer that fills the channel. I considered some type of blocking, but wanted to check in case anyone here has already dealt with this. It is a Marvin door, which I imagine are...

    Sensor for door with channel

    I planned on installing a wireless plunger sensor (Honeywell 5800RPS) on a french door. My problem is there is an open channel centered on the edge of the door in which a plunger fits perfectly so that it would not sense the door is closed; see pic. I don't want to drill close to the edge of the...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    I acquired an RS232 serial cable and was able connect to the panel in RP. The panel does not see the KP. I was able to enroll a KPNAV with address 1 and the KPNAV is working fine. I changed the address of the M1KP to 2 at the keypad, and did an Enroll/Update Control and Devices in RP. RP still...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    The KPNAV displays an address of 01 and the message "Please enroll keypad into panel." I can't change the address or enroll the KPNAV because I can't get to a menu on the M1KP and I'm waiting on serial cable to use RP.  The KPNAV manual shows a change address button on the startup screen, but I...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    I have 2 keypads and an M1DBH connected as follows: One M1KP wired directly to the RS-485 data bus; jumper on JP2 of the M1KP. One KPNAV connected with CAT6 to J1 of an M1DBH. RJ45 terminating plug in J2 of the M1DBH. The M1DBH is connected to the main panel data bus J1 with the ribbon cable...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    I believe I followed the startup steps, but this is my first system and human error is possible. I also believe the M1KP auto-enrolled. The M1KP goes thru the following displays when I switch the panel on: 1) KP Addr -> 1, KP Ver. 2.1.54 2) ELK M1 Control 0000xxxx .XX (serial number of my panel...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    I have a serial cable on order for use with ElkRP. I’ll try that when it arrives.   I have a 2nd keypad – an M1KPNAV that I pre-wired with cat6 cable. I plugged that into an M1DBH and tried booting with and without the M1KP connected directly to the panel. On the KPNAV, I get the Elk start-up...

    No menu on Elk keypad

    First time, new install of Elk M1G. Doing the initial power up – all zones terminated, M1KP keypad connected.   When the master power switch is turned on, I get a solid green ready light and keypad displays “ready to arm” When I press the Elk key, all I get is a tone – no menu, no prompt for a...

    Help wiring Elk KPNAV with Cat5

    Thanks for the help. I was referring to the EOL resistor for keypad zone input. I did not realize this resistor was for optional input. I don’t intend on wiring any contacts to the keypad. Thanks again.

    SP12F behind M1KPNAV

    I saw a post where drvnbysound mounted an SP12F speaker behind an M1KPNAV touchscreen keypad using the Navigator surface mount box M1BBKN.   I will be mounting a KPNAV on an electrical box, not using a surface mount box. Has anyone mounted an SP12F behind a KPNAV without using a M1BBKN, possibly...

    Transom window over door

    Door is on first floor; control panel will be in 2nd floor closet. Also, this is new construction and the drywall is not up yet.

    Transom window over door

    Thanks. I think I will go as high as I can on the non-hinged side with a magnetic switch. Another site mentioned that going magnetic on the hinged side requires the door to be opened fairly wide before the switch would be triggered. I am trying to avoid plungers.

    Transom window over door

    How do you handle mounting a wired recessed magnetic contact switch when a door has a transom window directly above it?  The window is the full width of the door. There are no sidelights. Is there another type of switch that would be better suited for this scenario? I am looking for something as...
