*** ELK M1G work Smoke System Sensor 2WTA-B?
- Thread starter Mp333
- Start date
The model with the A has the sounder, the other does not.
They do work fine with the Elk, but you will need the RRSMOD to reverse the polarity to get every 2WTA-B on the loop to sound at the same time in alarm, otherwise the only one that sounds is the one that detected the smoke/fire.

Now you're making us guess again! Your rule should be something like:
WHENEVER Smoke Detector (Zn 16) BECOMES VIOLATED
THEN TURN Output 003 (Out 3) ON
What does your rule say?
At some point you gave Output 3 the name "Strobe light" on the Outputs menu. That's why it says what it does. May be you should now give Output 3 the name "Smoke Detector Reversing".

Sorry! Have put in long hours in last couple days. Not thinking thru and just answering your questions.
So at some point I must have changed it to Strobe. Its changed to Smoke RRS-MOD. Cant fit your suggested description. Too long.
Zone 16 is labeled for Fire & Smoke, Definition-10 and Type-6.
After the description edited. the rule says:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Whenever any fire alarm turns on
Then turn Smoke RRS-MOD (Out3) ON
Whenever any fire alarm cuts off
Then turn Smoke RRS-MOD (Out3) OFF
------------------------------------------------------------------
What position does switch need to be in on RRS-MOD?

Alright now its working. The switch on the RRS-MOD needs to be in the ON position. Now the only thing I haven't figured out is once I trip the smoke the alarm & fire warning goes off and I can enter the code and it only disables the Alarm and not the fire warning. I tried getting into menu from KPNAV to reset smokes. Doesn't let you do it. May be you need to power down the panel is the only way.

I had a similar issue, there is a long thread on here somewhere about it. For some reason while everything was blaring the keypad wouldnt respond (especially noticeable trying to get into the menus to reset the smokes)
I had to "slow down" the slow loop response time to about 600ma in ElkRP2. Its interesting yours is behaving the same as mine, but I could never find anyone else having the same issue.
Im starting to wonder if using the RRSMOD with the switch in the wrong position initially causes a problem with it (or the M1)

No! not cutoff timers
In globals, one of the tabs has the timings for Slow Loop Response Time and Fast Loop Response Time.
I slowed the slow loop response down to 600ms (I think default was 400ms)
Never did figure out why that was an issue. There are at least a few people on here with the same setup that never had to adjust anything.
