A number of years back, I had an HAI Omni 2 that I replaced with the ELK M1G because of the modular expansion and easy to use rules support that the ELK offered. The ELK has worked fine for me but I do miss one capability that the Omni 2 provided regarding managing the smoke detectors.
I have 4 wire smokes with a reversing relay to turn on the sounder on in all units when an alarm occurs. The Omni 2 would disable the additional smokes on the first alarm reset and leave the one that caused the alarm remaining on which took a second reset to turn that one off. Does anyone know if there is a way to connect the ELK up to be able to work in a similar fashion. It was very helpful being able quickly find which detector set off the fire alarm. I reused the smokes and the reversing relay for the ELK so that part remained unchanged.
