Entry delay problem

[allen363]

I am having two problems that I need help with. I have an ELK M1G that a friend installed for me. I have programmed it through the XEP and all seems to be working as expected except for the following:

1) I have ENTRY1 and ENTRY2 Delay set to 060 yet upon opening a zone with this definition the alarm sounds immediately. I have checked the setting from the keypad to be sure and it shows 060 there as well. What am I missing?

2) Occasionally the XEP becomes inaccessible. I saw a post from IVB having a similar problem although I don't know if it is exactly the same. When the XEP becomes inaccassible from the web interface I can still PING it and ELKRP can "find" it but cannot connect to it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Allen

There is a Zone definition setting in the actual input point configuration. Set it to type 01 or 02 depending on entry exit 1 or 2.

If you have motions that pick you up when you come in they have to be set to "interior follower".

Make sure the XEP has the latest firmware...

Thanks but I have already done that and that is why I can't understand why it is not working correctly. Also, the XEP does have the very latest firmware.

1. Are you manually arming the system via keypad in "Away" mode? I think I have armed mine in instant - or "Stay" mode and had the same thing happen.

I have seen the issue. Power cycling restarts the Digi processor on the M1XEP and it will then reconnect. The issue appears to be generated from a network error. ELK is updating the Digi operating system for a new software release. I am banking on the issue will be resolved in the Digi operating system update.

Nope. I have stay instant but I am referring to no delay when I press EXIT to arm the system.

I noticed that my friend, who installed the system did not put the resistors on any of the contact runs. Could that cause this problem?

Elk can be configured without the resistor

hmm ... rebooting the system seemed to solve the problem. Does Bill Gates have an ownership interest by chance? :wacko:
