Hi Everyone,
I have installed my ELK-M1 Gold but haven't gone online yet. I have the control panel, one M1DBHR, and the battery in a 14" elk can. I have an ELK M1EXP currently plugged into a wall outlet but I would like to power off of the AUX supply. I also have two M1KP off of the retro data bus hub, three Bosch Blue Line Gen 2 motion detectors and three System Sensor 2WT-B smoke detectors.
The current draw worksheet for this estimates 0.915A if I enter 0 for the number of M1XEP.
If I would like to increase the margin on the main power supply it seems like the only significant contributors to the current draw are the smoke detectors (when in alarm) and the two keypads.
Is there any issue with attaching the two data wires from the two keypads to the data bus module and attaching the power and ground over at another can with the AUX supply? (I would tied the two power supply grounds together but keep the supply voltages isolated.)
Am I correct in thinking I can't move the power for the smokes as they are only two-wire?
thanks,
Steve
