Our power went out last night, and the Elk keypads displayed AC Failure, Ethernet Trouble, and eventually Low Battery. I think it is interesting that the log records "1138=AC Failure Trouble" 14 minutes after the power failed and the "1383=Ethernet Trouble" message was recorded. During the...

I can't connect to elkproducts.com. Please tell me Elk didn't go under.

After a couple months of normal operation, my ELK M1 is becoming stubborn. I defined the magnetic switch in the door between the utility room and garage as normally closed, force armable. With the door open, the Ready light flashes on the keypad in the utility room, and the display reads...

I recently learned I am required to register my alarm system with the county sheriff if it is directly monitered by the sheriff's equipment OR if it is monitored by a company of my choosing OR even if it isn't monitored but produces an audible or visible signal. There is an initial $30 fee plus...

I have a rule to send an email to my business address when one of my home's overhead garage doors opens. It functions whether or not the system is armed. It works flawlessly 90% of the time. The other 10% it will send the notification anywhere from two to six times. The magnetic switch on...

Is this feature supposed to work only with inputs on the main control board? In stay mode, it behaves correctly for my door to get from the house into the garage, zone 1, but if I open an overhead garage door, zone 33 or 34, the keypad begins a countdown displaying "Entrance=xx" and beeps at a...

It seems actions associated the buttons on the GE 4-button fobs can be configured in Wireless Setup -> Keyfob Events tab or they can be defined by rules. Obviously one can define a more complex action with rules, but what about simple actions such as defining button #1 to be Armed Away? Is...

Not necessarily. I easily mounted the speaker to the keypad without using the flush mount adapter; just the standard back and #4 screws. I was a bit disappointed to discover the speaker didn't fit into the Carlon old work ring I installed. I don't know the product number, but it is orange in...

I tried a couple of these really small magnetic contacts: https://www.tselectronic.com/tane/tanemicro...2e58ebdc80c3578 on my vinyl windows, and they seem to work as well as the "normal" sized ones. Before I order a bunch more, I just thought I'd ask if anyone has any experience with them...

Page eight, Para 1.3 "Mounting and Wiring Preparation" includes this: "Choose a location that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a grounding conductor for the control." Is the M1G supposed to be grounded somewhere, or is this entry in the manual left over from when the...

I don't understand the Burglar Interior Nite Delay mode (07). I have a Bosch Blue Line PIR set up on area 16. JP1 is set to "Zone 16 Normal." Sometimes, but not always, when armed in the away mode, I can trip the PIR and it counts down until the keypad says "Entrance =0" and then it...

In installing my new system, I placed a "sub panel" about 100 feet from my M1G. I've read numerous posts by cocooners with similar setups because of an detached workshop, garage, or barn. I pulled a half-dozen Cat5 cables along with a 16awg pair for 12vdc for sensors that need power such as...

I finally have an M1 set up on my workbench, and I've enjoyed trying the various features. I connected a PSC05 and it lets me control my various dimmer switches, lamps and appliance modules both through rules and directly from a KP2 keypad. I have a couple questions about using the X10...

Spanky, do you expect to offer the M1 Media Centre (MCE) plug-in on the Ness site? http://www.ness.com.au/ViewProduct.asp?ProductNumber=101-296 Description: “My M1 Home” Automation Managment software, although can run on any PC’s, has been purpose built to run as an extension to ‘Window...

Has anyone used an automotive type battery with their security system? I expect to order an Elk M1G later this month, and I can see that as I expand to phase 2 or 3, I will need an additional power supply. I have the 30+ Amp Hour AGM battery from my Miata sitting in the basement connected to...

I'm torn between buying a system with the original M1KP or the M1KP2. One bit of the specifications I haven't been able to find is display character size. The display appears larger to me on the original; is that correct? If I wake up to an alarm in the middle of the night, I'll need all the...

In the context of "The wireless door/window sensors are SAW mode 319.5MHZ transmitters," what does "SAW" mean? Surface Acoustic Wave? Standing Acoustic Wave? Is SAW a good thing? Should it impact my sensor selection vs. another sensor that doesn't specify SAW? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'm looking into security systems with emphasis on security rather than home automation. Elk is my cost-is-no-object choice, but cost is an object. I've been looking at systems based on the GE/CADDX NX8-e and recently started investigating the DSC Power 864 systems. They seem similar in cost...
