Hello, I am trying to figure out the best way to configure my Sentrol Glass break detectors with my M1 panel. The glass break sensors are the round models that have normally closed contacts.
At the moment, I have the glass break detectors configured individually (home run) without EOLR as "normally closed" and "24 hour burgular" devices. Is there a better way to configure them? Maybe add the EOLR? They are presently powered from the ELK's VAUX tap.
Second, when an individual glass break sensor is triggered, its LED operates differently to show that it was the one set off. I would like to be able to power cycle the glass break sensors to reset this memory. Is there a good way to do this? I suppose that I could use the SAUX tap from the M1 panel, but then I have to configure the glass break detector as a smoke detector and I worry that this has adverse implications for reporting events accurately to a central monitoring station (i.e. break-in reported as a fire). I could put a relay on the power output, but then I have to somehow tell the system to ignore the sensors for a few seconds during a power cycle of the glass break detectors. Is there an easier way to do this?
Thanks.
