Hello,
Still haven’t move in to our new house yet, but my builder is allowing me to Install the Security Sensors and to connect them to my ELK-M1G this weekend. I am starting this thread to get help and ask questions during my installation phase. I have gathered as much as I can from this forum, but there is lot more that I don’t know.
The plan for now is to install,
15 GRI 110T window sensors.
4 of Blue line quad Motion Sensor
2 Door contacts for my Front door and the door from the Garage and Door Hinge side contact for the patio door.
2 smoke/heat sensor and 2 CO Sensor.
Window contact
Installing GRI 110-T window contact seems to be straight forward, just insert the 22/2 wire to the screw on terminals and secure the contact by peeling of the protective paper on the adhesive tape, which is preinstalled on the back of the sensor.
Motion Sensor
Motion sensors will be installed in the corner of the wall at about 8’ high. Thanks to v1rtu0s1ty for posting the detail wiring technique http://www.4290greenfieldlanehome.com/motionsensor2.txt and the actual picture of the installed Motion Sensor http://www.cocoontech.com/index.php?showtopic=5714&st=31
My Motion sensors are going to be installed in the same way.
Smoke/Heat Sensor.
I found a picture of 4-wire motion sensor with EOL at http://alpinealarms.com/alarm_manual1-prin...oke%20Detectors. This seems to be straight forward.
Door Contacts
This is going to be tricky, 2 of the doors is wire to use 3/8†stubby reed switch. How deep should I drill in the door side?? This is a steel exterior door.
1 of the door is wired in the hinge side, so I going to use the Roller plunger contact.
Structured Security Panel
I got the 50†channel vision panel from AO, this is going to house my ELK-M1G control,
ELK-M1XIN, ELK-M1DBH,M1XSP, ADSL Filter and other later add ons.
Please let me know if you have any tip and suggestion from your experience. I’ll take lots of pictures and will post them here.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh.
