Spanky, I was informed ny a tech today that the Global 45 is a keypad only code not RP. I have cleared the EEPROM and reloaded my program. We are now under the 24 hour test window to see if the EEPROM error returns. Thanks for the information.

I am using ElkRP Version 1.6.16 on a windows XP machine My globals highest tab is for G29 - G42 Special Any idea how to get a global option of G45 on my RP software, I didnt see anything in the manual for the M1 covering erasing the EEPROM.

Elk M1 been installed for approx. 2 years no issues until lately. The system is displaying EEPROM Fault on the keypad. I can change modes say from stay mode to night mode and most times it will clear up the fault. When this change of system mode clears up the fault it will return in a few hours...

I have an Elk M1 I have up and running in our home for around 2 years now IIRC. A week or so ago the keypad has an intermittent display of EEPROM Fault. Most of the time if I change the system from stay to night mode or from an unarmed condition to a stay mode it ususally clears up the fault...

System Elk M1G with 2 input expanders and one KP keypad so far. It has been rocognizing the two input expanders with no problems for a week or so. I was doing some turning the system on and off while looking to add a prox card reader into the KP. Now the system doesnt recogonize the third...

A few Newbie questions here. My M1 is up and running adding a few accessories in the next couple of days I'm getting the family use to interfacing with the Elk for now before I link it to the central station. Any opinions of using the wireless cell phone type dialers with an Elk M1 and if so...

I was doing some thinking about the garage setup. If you run a wireless keyfob and have one button for garage door open, can you use that event (the wireless fob activating the overhead door) to bypass the overhead door contact and the motion sensor in the garage for a few minutes, enought time...

Carry - thanks for the reply. I see your motion is assigned to area 4. What area are the overhead door and entry door to the house assigned to? I was looking at keeping the entire house as area 1 as not the forget to disarm the garage and set off an alarm when the house is disarmed like I have...

Elk M1 system in a residential home installation. For motions and glassbreaks do I need to set the outputs for latching these inputs will be going to an XIN expander card. Next question if I setup the garage for overhead door switches, 2 motions in garage and a contact on the door from the...

Which of these home lighting technologies are the most reliable, cost effective and interface with an M1 ?

Got it

My bad I meant Out 1 for the speakers. Looks like Im going with RP to start off and see how the connection will make. The only thing I have connected to with the usb 232 adapter to is my Motorola 6811 on an EVBU board using Buffalo. When I go to connect in RP does the Elk have to be powered up...

I have an Elk M1 and have been pulling station wire and installing sensors for a week or so now. My question: What is your suggestions for a person familiar with electronics and some programming to do when installing an Elk for the first time. My system will consist of 3 KP keypads, 8 of them...

Thanks for the info Robin. I am installing an Elk system. Looks like there will be EOL's in the circuitry and it shows wiring diagrams for using EOL's in detection wiring that has a mix of NC and NO contacts. Some zones I plan on having only one device on for a few zones. So on those zones...

Starting to run some wiring for the contacts and when my contacts arrived I see that some are marked Normally Open and Normally Closed. The package also states if I run more then a few hundered madc thru these that I can fry them out. So this I have two questions 1, How much current will a...
