Martin from AO sent me the ELK RP/RM software with my ELK system. The ELK Remote Management needs a product key. Where do I get/find it?

I would like to connect my ELK keypad using a Cat 5 cable and the data hub. How does the black, white, green and red keypad connectors connect to the 8 wire Cat 5 cable - which color goes with which?

Another question as I get closer to initial power-up of the ELK (a little anxious here). Initially my detectors will be wireless (CADDX 448E) and I will have a single wired speaker - ELK-73. Do I need to place a resistor across each of the 16 wired zones and Output 2 or can I simply disable...

I'll be installing my ELK M1 system today. The keypad has an optional zone input wire (blue) and output wire (brown). What is this used for?

Regarding the ELK-900-2 "B" connectors. I have not seen this type of connector before. Seems very nifty. No stripping the wires - place wires into connector - squeeze with a plyers. Correct? Why have I been using wire nuts for household wiring? I assume these would work better. When do you use...

Just received my ELK/CADDX stuff. I noticed that the ELK-73 speaker has stranded wire tinned at the ends. What is the recommended wire to run to the control panel? I will be running Cat 6e cable to the location where the speaker will be installed. Is it OK to connect the speaker wires to Cat 6e...

My ELK M1 Gold and CADDX NX-448e have arrived. A few questions: 1. I will only have keypad 1 wired to the data bus. I need to jump J3 on the control and according to the manual, jump J2 on the keypad. Sounds simple enough - I use the 2 jumpers included. Correct? 2. The W035A harness has 5...

I am awaiting the arrival of my ELK M1GSYS4 kit. It comes with the ELK-73 speaker. What is the difference between the 73,74 and 75 units? The 73 has 2 wires and the 74 has 3 wires. Why?

I will be ordering the ELK M1GSYS4 kit and the CADDX NX-448 wireless interface. How does the ELK keypad connect to the system - wires or Ethernet cable? or which way is best? There are already wires running from my old system keypad in the foyer down to the system board in the basement. Should I...

I am about to place an order for an ELK/CADDX wireless system. If I forgo the Ethernet interface to keep the initial cost down, I assume I will connect my PC (which does have a 9-pin Com port) directly to the ELK. How is the programming software in this case? I assume you create the...

I expect to order my ELK/CADDX hardware tomorrow. Can anyone recommend a reputable Internet ELK dealer with good prices? My usual PC sources do not carry the ELK hardware. I expect to spend some bucks here and I would like to deal with a company with good customer service.

I need to replace an old wireless stand alone security system. I'm torn between ELK system with CADDX wireless vs. the less expensive CADDX system/wireless. I currently have ZWave light switches under control of CQC. I know CADDX does not support ZWave. I would like my security system to control...
