I recently setup 2-wire smoke detectors (4 System Sensor i3 2WTA-B to start). All properly flash a green light every 5 seconds.
I wired them to the elk, going from the panel, to a reversing relay (RRS-MOD).
I tested a detector and it worked, but it did not work properly to set off the other detectors on the circuit.
I suspect I may be misinterpreting how the Elk rules should work.
I setup rules like the following:
WHENEVER ANY FIRE ALARM TURNS ON
THEN TURN Output 003 (Out 3) ON
WHENEVER ANY FIRE ALARM CUTS OFF
THEN TURN Output 003 (Out 3) OFF
One wire of the RRS-MOD goes to the NO side of Out 3 (so that when Out 3 is triggered it reverses the polarity).
When I did the test and checked the log I got
1001 FIRE ALARM
1142 OUTPUT2 SUPERVISORY TROUBLE
etc
Zone 16 is defined as 10 - Fire Alarm, 2-wire smoke on zone 16.
Output 2 is hooked up to a siren.
I see that the OUTPUT2 SUPERVISORY TROUBLE message is because I omitted a resistor (I'll fix that).
My question really boils down to (and sorry for the basic questions, just trying to establish what I should be expecting and where to troubleshoot):
1. Should I see Out 3 triggered in the log or not? (I was assuming yes)
2. I'm assuming that 1001 FIRE ALARM, satisfies the condition of 'ANY FIRE ALARM'
On a side note, I have a request into System Sensor on if there are any preferred installation orders when using both a 2W-MOD2 and an RRS-MOD (may be no issue at all, but was looking to make sure one can't impact the other in any configuration (Panel -> 2W-MOD2 -> RRS-MOD -> Smokes or Panel -> RRS-MOD -> 2W-MOD2 - > Smokes). Due to what the RRS-MOD does, I am assuming preferred order of installation is Panel - 2W-MOD2 - RRS-MOD - Smokes). Once I get the answer I'll post it here.
