Finalyl at the point where I can start plugging stuff into my Elk setup. Initially had it powered up with just 1 keypad wired directly to the data terminals on the control. Everything worked as expected.
Now Im trying to series in a zone expander. Wired it per the 2nd image on page 12 of the manual ("Diagram for daisy chain connection using 3 or more home run cables....")....I know I dont have 3 home run cables yet, but I will. I figured the same should apply with 2 cables for now. I have it setup so the keypad is the last device, the zone expander is the first device and connects back to the control panel. The keypad (last device) and JP3 on the main board are terminated.
All the connections have been checked and double checked. The expander enrolls just fine, but the keypad keeps showing Lost Comm. RPK shows "keypad trouble", the event log shows "Expansion Module Trouble - Keypad 1"
Any ideas? I have a feeling its a termination thing (since the wiring seems fine) but since Ive done it per the manual Im not sure what to try.
Thanks in advance.
