Greetings, I am new to this forum and about to implement an Elk M1 gold in a new house. Since Elk doesn't provide direct customer support and where I am moving has no "local" professionals, I expect to be mostly on my own.
First up is to get smoke detectors working in order to pass inspection and get a certificate of occupancy. I have a keypad connected, system is powered up, using 4 wire smoke detectors connected to the panel. Now for the programming.
I believe this is what I need to do but would appreciate confirmation from the experts here.
5 smoke detectors, define zones 1-5.
For each smoke detector, Def=10, type=5
Ok so far?
What I am missing is how to "silence" a smoke detector once it has been triggered. I've read about the connections to the SAUX terminals used to drop power and silence the alarm(s).
How do I trigger the ELK to drop power to a specific or to all smoke detectors?
What else do I need to be aware of?
Regards and thank you.
