I am up for dinner Friday. Come by the ELK booth and tell me where to meet.

The latest ELKRP2 software may help on the USB generic cable connection.

Murphies Law: Servers will go down when no one is around and everyone needs the service. 800 lines in the area went down last week for an unknown reason. Sun spots?

We have noted the issue with a Supervised on short defined zone on a zone expander causing a zone trouble on powerup. Immediately this issue can be resolved by redefining the zone as a non supervisory zone. There were changes to the way supervisory zones worked in recent releases which...

You can still control your ALC lights from CQC going through the M1's serial or ethernet port.

If that is the embedded transmitter where you drill a hole in the door and slide the transmitter into the hole, that is a one of a kind battery and you will not find it at Radio Shack.

That is a temperature sensor that only works with the Magic module programmable controller.

The outputs from the Quickbridge are open collector transistors which means they short to negative. Program the M1 expander zones as normally open and connect the terminal with the zone number label to the Quickbridge zone output. You only need one terminal for the zone, so do not connect...

32 bit Windows 7 seems to work OK. The 64 bit version has the problem. Elk is working on the fix.

As stated above try running the Elk800 from a 12 volt battery. Steal the M1's for the test. If the hum goes away, the hum is coming from the power supply.

If you are getting a status blink, but the module will not enroll, check to make sure both data wires are connected. Make sure your keypads are not on the same address also.

Connect the marine batteries to the battery input on the M1. Use a separate battery charger for the marine batteries. Disconnect the plug in 16.5 volt transformer. There is a program option to disable the AC failure. I will have to look up where the program option is at. The marine...

After further investigation what I thought was an issue in using a Rule to enable and disable the Chime is really not a problem. What I was seeing is the voice still makes an announcement, but the keypads are silent when the chime is enabled/disabled by a Rule. If no sound is wanted when the...

As luck will have it, we found a minor issue in the Rule control of the Chime on the M1. Going from one of the chime modes to another with a Rule, it still annunciates instead of being silent. It will be fixed in the next release.

The Elk-960 timer Relay would do what you want to reset the power. Use an input to the 960 and it will time out say 10 seconds to reset any power. As stated above, if the M1 powers itself down, it will immediately come back up. There is a Rule for loss of Ethernet connection to a central...

I am overjoyed with the appointment of Joel Rosson to the president's seat at ELK. Joel is a great guy with lots of experience. I always hoped the presidents seat was short term for me because it is not what I really wanted to do in life. I am now back in the engineering group where I love it...

How to use Zone Temperature sensor in a Rule: Using the M1ZTS or a M1KP temperature sensor define the zone as a temperature zone. Write a Rule using a timed event - WHENEVER EVERY 30 SECONDS AND ZONE 9 TEMPERATURE IS GREATER THAN 68 DEGREES F THEN do something Because temperature and...

The M1XEP supports IP monitoring into a GE Osborne Hoffman OS-2000 receiver. It is sometimes hard to find a Central Station that has one of these. There is an upcoming software upgrade for the M1XEP that will support the SIA IP Reporting Protocol and one other IP protocol that is to be...

Would there be any interest in a wireless temperature sensor that would work into the ELK M1XRF RF receiver? You could have up to (16 minus the number of keypads) temperature sensors.
