Any help is appreciated!!!

If the input expander detects a data bus loss of communication to the M1, the input expander will automatically reboot itself and send a message to the M1 that it has rebooted. This message will be entered into the log.

I would check the data bus integrity. It looks like you are loosing communication to the input expander.


edit: I noticed that the reboot is occurring on the hour at a 4 hour interval. The M1 does a battery test every 4 hours. Check voltage at the input expanders while doing a battery test from the keypad. If the voltage at the keypad drops below 10.5 volts the watchdog system could be resetting the input expander.

Did you mean If the voltage at the "input expander" drops below 10.5 volts the watchdog system could be resetting the input expander. not the keypad - correct???

Thanks
