Thanks guys, that's exactly what I did. I read the # on the switch instead of the number on the board. What is the proper way to fix this? Remove from ELK RP, power down and then reset the switches and power up? After that I do I need to enroll it on the keypad again?

I'm not following.

I see. This will only protect from the Jack to the Alarm panel, correct? This will not detect if the line is cut at the demark will it?

So I'm wiring up an Elk 950 and I'm unsure about the orange and blue wires, 2 and 7. The instructions say "2 & 7 are shorted together by jumper EOL creating a closed circuit tamper loop to supervise the modular plug. This loop may be converted to a resistored EOL circuit by cutting the jumper...

So I am having a problem with my 2nd input expander. I enrolled it using the keypad and it is coming up as expander 4. However, I have the jumper set to 3. I only have 2 total. The first is set to jumper 2 and was enrolled properly. How can I get it to detect as Expander 3 instead of 4...

You might want to consider getting a power supply with battery backup. Otherwise, your siren will not work if there is a power outage.

I am looking to retrofit a smoke detector into my setup. House was prewired with 120v smokes w/ 9v backup. A search seems to point me to the GE 350CX as the model I would need to retrofit with my elk Panel. However, I can't find this anywhere. Is there a new model? Can someone link me with...

Ok, sounds good. I think I got it all now. Sorry for all the newb questions. We just had a breakin at the house a few days ago. I've been eyeing the Elk for a few years now and with the recent events, it was immediately time to order one.I haven't even received the parts yet, they will arrive...

Thanks guys. Wuench: You have a super clean setup. Thanks for sharing the pics, it helped clear things up. What is typical draw for a PIR? I looked at my order again on Automated Outlet and I am not see the current draw listed. Is the Elk-45 a typical siren? If not, what is an example of a...

Hi Guys, I started a similar post in the Elk forum. I don't mean to double post but I've started looking at some of the Altronix modules as well and thought the post would be more appropriate here. I'm trying to understand when and why you would use power distribution models. I just bought my...

Yeah I can see that. I haven't even gotten my first order and I'm already expanding. I'm not understanding the extra battery now. Are you guys suggesting to get an additional battery and charger to run just the PD9HC('s)? Do you have any info on the other questions I had?

Thanks. Can you clarify why are you recommending the PD9HC over just the PD9? Also, since I'm going to be buying more, do you recommend 1 or 2? Should I move all of the expansion modules to another PD9? Can you also clarify for me how the PD9HC works? I understand that it needs it's own Power...

Hey Guys, I'm a long time lurker. I just put in my order last night for an M1 system through Automated outlet. I thought I had everything I needed but now I'm not so sure. Can someone please clarify for me where you would use the PD9 and PD9HC. Can you guys also comment on whether I need...
