@kev

I don't see any wires for the zones?

 

[kevkmartin]

They are all wireless.

Wireless sensors.... They working good for you?

And how often do you change the batteries?

 

[kevkmartin]

The work great; I change them when the ELK tells me I need to.

They are supervised sensors, and the panel reports trouble when the batteries at low... well before there are any communication issues.

Thanks very much for posting. That's the very first time I've seen n. All wireless setup (yours)

Can you show some photos on how you hook up your transformer? I don't see the elk AC transformer, are the wires run behind the drywall?

 

[kevkmartin]

Yes. The two power wires run behind drywall to transformers in another room.

I felt that this was more secure than transformers / power strips that were obvious.

I don't think I'd dare show the state of my current house, but here's the last house fully operational but never "finished".

What it doesn't show is the garage sub-panel that has the M1XIN, M1XOVR, M1RB, PD9...

It's not pretty - I never did get it all finished up before it was time to pull it out.

Just put of curiosity, and you certainly do not have to answer,

How much was the amp wire management? In USD

That thing looks sweeet

They cost 30 RMB ($4.75) each, They are 19" long.

Those AMP units are a type of slotted wiring duct, aka finger channel.

I get 4-6 foot lengths from my local electrical supply outlet for about $20, cover sold separately. Available in white or gray. The only manufacturer of black slotted wiring duct that I've seen is Panduit, and it is much more expensive. And now that AMP stuff.

Many different depths and widths available. Ask at the counter nicely to see the warehouse shelves.

 

[Neurorad]

A quick search shows HellermannTyton is another manufacturer of the black slotted wiring duct.

Pics of my setup are at the website in my sig..

Hey Wuench, nice clean install. Like the cabinet.

 

[wuench]

Thanks. It's a leviton 42" cabinet with the ring extender. I used the figered raceway around the perimeter, but the right is already full with all the CAT5 for the bus modules and 18/2 speaker wire. I may have to either add another raceway on that side to somehow use a bigger one.

If I had to do it over again I would've mounted the control at the bottom of the cabinet to have better separation of power and signal connections.

Have you had any interference between power and signal connections? Is this a very big issue? Just trying to understand.
