Elk M1G Doorbell Zone Question..

[jpmargis]

Serge replaced the push button with a SPDT switch.

Ah, I am still suspecting it isn't wired correctly.  What is the reason for using two zones though?

 

[Serge5757]

For test both zones.

 

[jpmargis]

Let's back up a bit.  Exactly what kind of a response are you expecting?

 
Serge??  Or should I try to help someone else?

 

[Serge5757]

I expect to see input going on and off. In another word I expect M1G to fire the event with disclosure of input number and status changed.

 

[Serge5757]

II tested my switch with a meter. Nothing is wrong. It switches "short cirquit" from NO to NC (in my case from zone 17 to zone18).
Double check Zone settings - 16=Non-Alarm; 2=Normaly Open; Area 3;Fast loop response;Enable chime;

 

[Serge5757]

Got connected to M1G. Go to status window to area 3. Turn my test switch on/off. Status says "violated", State - N/A

 

[Serge5757]

 I see my M1XIN in "Enroll/Update Control and devices" window on address 1, Bus type 2

How three wires could be wired to three contacts incorrectly?

 

[jpmargis]

The state should not be N/A.  It should either be Open(+) or Short(-).  I'm out of ideas!!

 

[Serge5757]

Removed all cards, only M1G and M1XIN left. Installed termination jumper on M1XIN. Still the same.

Ah hah!!  It should be Address 2.  Check your switches - as I asked before.

Connect  my test switch to Input 1 and 2 on mainboard, configured same way as before. Status sees it, it's OK. Smth wrong with M1XIN? Will try it on Address 2.
