Hello All,
I recently posted a topic on this forum where I reached out about some issues I was having with my Elk M1 system and it's power system (long story short, I fried the AC power circuit on my Elk M1 Main board). I have a replacement Elk M1 Controller and would like to swap out the two units. I have backups of the configuration/database from the original/current system, and I'm able to power the old system on via Battery Power, so I'm able to access it over the network temporarily if needed. Does anyone on the forum have any experience in swapping out two controllers?
The replacement unit that I received is one without Terminal Blocks, since the previous system is already wired, I was planning on just plugging the existing wired terminals into this new board. I am concerned, however, with the order of operations and the steps to upload the existing configuration/database into the new controller.
There are a couple of installers near me, though I had a less than ideal experience with the first installer that came out to help diagnose my initial issues, which leaves me hesitant to contact them again.
Any help and your patience is greatly appreciated, I inherited a pretty elaborate setup when I purchased this house and I'm in new territory. Additionally, since I'm a new forum member, I'm limited to 1 post a day until I hit the threshold of approved posts, so it might take me 24 hours to respond at first.
Thanks in advance!
