I had an alarm yesterday on my ELK. Water alarm and motions -- all of which are on my input expander. I called in (don't have internet access for elk yet) and got "alarm memory" but couldn't figure out how to get it to tell me what had caused the alarm. After acknowleging the alarm, Prompt 4 on phone reported "no zones violated" and prompt 5 reported "normal" (no trouble messages. I cut off the alarm via phone (or it timed out, I'm not sure) but 10 minutes later was alarming again. By then wife was home and entered her code to silence it. She read the message off the keypad to me and that's how I found out the water and motions were violated. 10-15 minutes later it alarmed again. She turned the M1 off. When I got home I connected to check status and all the inputs on the expander were violated. It was receiving normal DC power, and all wiring looked good. Nothing has been touched inthe box for a week. System has still not been armed. After checking the wiring I went to the keypad and did an enrollment. After that the status was all normal. I checked the log, but only the startup when I turned it back on was there (I guess turning off the M1 erases the log?)
Today, at the same time (I think) it alarmed again, same message. I've yet to see if it reoccurs after acknowleging alarm with code. Now today the electrician was turning on and off breakers to lable the panel but I have full battery back-up, so I didn't think this would cause a problem.
Any ideas? Is there any way to check to see if the M1XIN is functioning properly?
