Hi, I just wanted to close this thread out with the solution. Shortly after posting this thread it mysteriously begin working again for about two months and then just as mysteriously began having problems again. I did a ton of troubleshooting including a trip to Elk to have it checked out...

That was it, don't know how I missed it! Thanks, CT

No, that is the strange part. Although it dies when the battery fails, if I remove the battery and switch it back on it immediately comes on and runs just fine without the battery (and while supplying the 13.6 to the unattached battery).

Without the battery attached I get 13.6v. If the battery is not being charged this has to be at some point lower than that, but every time I check it is always 13.6v. To clarify my post above, if I measure the voltage at the battery when it is attached to the M1 I read about 13.3v.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I have a question on the stay mode similar to above. If I activate the stay mode and have permeiter doors set to entry 1 and then just open one the alarm instantly goes off with no delay. But reading in the manual it seems to say that the delay set will be...

I have a strange issue I have not been able to work out. After five years of flawless operation I am having an issue with the battery. Starting with a charged 8 amp hour battery (it is an elk branded battery) after almost exactly a week I receive a low battery warning after the daily test...

Does anyone know what the maximum amphour battery (or batteries) you can put on the ELK P-412 power distribution unit (My link)? It comes with an 8 amphour and I would like to add another. I know that the M1G can do 16 or 17 but can find no reference for the P-412... Thanks CT

Correct, it is the switchlinc dimmer.. Good to know...if these stop working I will switch over to the dimmable..

My bad, I said keypadlinc but meant switchlinc. The bulbs are not dimmable. However, the switch works with them with no issue (except at restoration of power)...

To follow up on this further....The dual link switch has been operating with no issue since I installed it with the CFLs. BUT, we lost power and when it was restored the switchlinc screeched loudly. Nonstop. To get it to stop I had to pull the tab on the bottom. After letting it sit for about 3...

Thanks for the suggestion of the filter. Unfortunately I have no easy way to add one for this circuit. I did install a dual band switchlinc and it did solve the problem. I have no more issues with the switch missing the turn off command. May not work in all situations, but it worked here with...

I have three CFLS on a circuit that is currently controlled by the non-dual band switchlinc. Due to what I assume is CFL noise (works fine with three incandescent bulbs), I only get the off command recognized by the switch about fifty percent of the time. Would one of the new dual band...

Yep, that is great advice. I use lastpass and all of my passwords look something like "vkQY2zKkhp". Of course, make sure you don't loose your master password! That would be fun.

I signed up for access that was granted pretty quickly. BUT... I received an email from ELK stating I had been given access that included my username AND PASSWORD in clear text! I then received an email for me to verify my interest in receiving the monthly newsletter. This email contained not...
