I am calculating the run time for a UPS. Can someone tell me the wattage of an ELK M1 Gold both loaded and unloaded? Also, the wattage for the ELK-P412 4 amp power supply? My gut tells me that just because the M1 can supply 2.5 amps doesn't mean it draws 250 watts of power. Same reasoning...

I would like to be the first to thank the ELK staff for doing a great job at EHX 2006 in Long Beach. Kirk's presentation this year was much better than last years. They really do care what is mentioned here and it shows in their products. It was nice to play with the new touchscreen and see...

Can someone recommend a harsh environment (attic space could get very hot) PIR/Microwave combo detector?

NextAlarm has just announced some new plans. Free, $5, and $11.95 per month depending on the level of service. Worth checking out at www.nextalarm.com.

Here's a brain teaser for Ademco Contact ID mavens. I am setting up a Telular cellular backup with an M1. This is from the Telular site: "All rate plans include options for a Telguard Self-Test signal to be sent to your Central Station. The PASS signal verifies the integrity of the Telguard...

I need to mount an ELK 8AH battery with the terminals up and on the side, not in the traditional terminals up and on the top method like in an ELK can. Any problems mounting the battery this way?

Other than making sure all of the negative terminals are common to the power supplies, is there a do's and dont's guide to adding additional power to an M1? Specifically adding power to ELKDBH's. I plan on using ELK 4 amp power supplies. What happens if a power supply fails does it take the...

I have a panel on the bench for testing. All of a sudden it has lost all of its user codes and I cannot disarm the panel, it is armed. I tried every user code and it went bong. I tried the duress code and it disarmed. I will go in with ELKRP and rebuild the user codes. Has anyone else...

Here is this mornings log from NextAlarm of one of my customers. Oct 07, 2006 04:14:47 AM External Siren 2 Restored Oct 07, 2006 04:07:20 AM External Siren 2 Failure Oct 07, 2006 04:07:17 AM External Siren 2 Restored Oct 07, 2006 04:05:06 AM External Siren 2 Failure Oct 07...

I think I need a new M1 Zone Definition. I need the features of a Definition 06 Burglar Interior Nite but with a Follower feature. The zone is not near a sleeping area, I want the ability to include it at night, but I want it to follow if an entry/exit door is violated first, if not, I want it...

Has anyone used a 12 volt car battery to power either their M1 or peripherals? I am looking for infomation on using a large capacity battery with a solar charging system. I want to know what precautions need to be taken so as not to fry anything.

If I disarm the ELK M1 with the telephone remote the keypad doesn't beep. Why can't there be a switch/choice that will silence the disarm beep even when I use the keypad itself?

Spanky: Any chance of adding the # sign as the first digit in the arm/disarm code? I have several customers who have asked if their code could begin with the pound sign to match some of their access equipment. Thanks.

It's been pretty quiet here. Anyone going to EHX in Long Beach this November? How about we meet after the ELK Training session on Thursday November 16, 2006?

Please help, I'm having a senior moment. I can no longer find the screen in ELKRP that gives you the ability to send a periodic test signal to the CS every XX days at XX time. I've had it before and can't for the life of me find it now. I'm using ELKRP 1.68 and Firmware 4.4.2.

I am planning a couple of installations in Mexico. All the panels I saw this weekend were DSC. Anyone have any experience installing an ELK M1 in Mexico specifically any dialer issues?

Is there any way to put the M1 into walk test mode for 8 hours? I like to shake my systems down before putting them online. Walk test seems to be a good way but it times out after a few minutes.

All: Anyone installed the new 7" ELK Touchscreen? If so would you mind posting some pictures, sharing your experiences, etc. I'm toying with installing some but concerned about POE (power over ethernet), AC power supplies, UPS requirements, wiring particulars, ethernet concerns, etc. Not as...

Here is my setup: One zone set to Definition 23 Police Notification Audible. It is connected to a Visonic wireless panic button. EOL resistor setting. The Visonic is wired for normally closed with a 2200 ohm resistor. There is about 7 volts present at the panel when not pressing the panic...
