I'm planning to install an M1 in a small 2 story office building remodel that I'm doing.
It's looking like the data bus is going to be pretty loaded, and I'd like to know how to get it more power.
I'm planning for ...
1 Elk M1KP1 keypad + internal prox reader.
3 Elk M1KP2 keypads.
6 Elk M1KAM access modules.
6 Rosslare AY-Q12 anti-vandal prox readers (100mA each).
1 Elk M1XOVR relay output for door strikes.
1 Elk M1XIN for extra inputs.
2 Elk M1XSP interfaces for thermostats.
1 Elk M1XSP interface for lighting control.
1 Elk M1TWI listen-in interface + 3 microphones.
I'm expecting to need an ELK-P412 to power the door strikes.
Can I also use it to power the data bus instead of, or in addition to, the M1?
How would I wire it? Is there an example circuit diagram for adding extra power to the M1's data bus?
Will I need to run the data bus with wire thicker than CAT5 to handle this power load?
Thanks,
John.
