I'm trying to connect an Uplink 5500M that has four digital inputs, each marked: (pull-up to VDC). The default configuration is: IN1 General Alarm - Zone 251 IN2 General Alarm - Zone 252 IN3 General Alarm - Zone 253 IN4 General Alarm - Zone 254 I'm replacing a 4530EX and I would appreciate...

In this picture, A is the negative coming out of my Auxilliary power supply. B is the 485 Data bus. And C is the AC "negative" going into the M1G.    Am I supposed to connect A to B? If not, to what exactly should I connect A so that I have a common negative?    What about C?   Thanks, Richard  

When I'm armed Away, I get entry delay announcements through Out1.    When I'm armed Stay, I don't get entry delay announcements through Out1.   I've searched RP2 and can't find a setting for that. Am I missing it or how would I add it with rules?     Thanks, Richard

In the Elk system, G16-G18 are: Output 1 Maximum volume siren alarm Output 1 Maximum volume voice alarm Output 1 Maximum volume non-alarm voice   That's great, if your speakers are connected to Output 1. My speakers are connected to an ELK TWA. How do I change the relative volume levels for...

I'm hoping to add about 6-8 temperature sensors to my system which includes an M1G and CQC. I don't want to use the M1 sensors because they get pricey for that many. I'd be happy to add an Arduino / R Pi etc. Does anyone have any recommendations?  

I use a rule to: Disable Non-Alarm Voice Messages (when I don't want to hear them). While they are disabled, the system will generate messages, for example "Armed", which are not heard, but they are somehow queued up. Here's what I mean. When I: Enable Non-Alarm Voice Messages, nothing happens...

I have some Exterior PIRs which I use with rules. I don't want them to set off an alarm, so I have them set as "Non Alarm." However, if they are tampered with, I would like to set off an alarm. I see the Four (4) State Zone Wiring instructions on page 9 of the M1G manual which looks perfect...

I am running the latest version of ElkRP 2.0.16 and trying to update the Elk M1G firmware from 5.2.2 to 5.2.10. I'm getting an error message that: "This is a newer firmware that ElkRP does not recognize" I'm always nervous about firmware updates. Can anyone confirm if this is normal? Thanks...

Simple question. I see that each keypad is assigned to an Area. But I would like to be able to use every keypad to arm both Area 1 and Area 2. I tried setting up a separate User code that was assigned to only Zone 2, but it didn't work. Anyone know how to do this? For that matter, what I'm...

I'm adding some outdoor PIRs to my current system. I don't want them to set off an alarm, but I do want them to Announce when they are "armed" and violated. To be able to "arm" them, I'm thinking I should put them in a separate Area 2. Then, Area 2 could be armed/disarmed with a separate user...

I have something which can only be controlled by IR. I'd like to be able to control it with my ELK. Has anyone figured out how to trigger IR from an ELK? I only need a few commands. Worst case I could hack a learning remote and trigger it with relay outputs. I'm planning to get an iTach for IP...

Does anyone have a solution for lack of a Jetstream appliance module? I want to control something that's 600 watts. It's close to my ELK panel, so I could use that if necessary.

I've tried to figure this out by myself, but I'm at the point where I need some help. I have some doors that people sometimes open while in Stay mode. The doors are "Burglar Entry/Exit 1" so you have some time to shut off the system, but they don't always hear the beeping to alert them the...

I am using 4-wire smokes and have JP1 set to Normal. Nonetheless, when I reset the smokes, the chime momentarily tells me that zone 16 has been violated. Is that normal?

I will power my 4-wire smokes via an ELK-P412. I have read a thread about how to do that, but can't find it after much looking. Since the 4-wire smokes will not be connected to SAUX, I will need an alternate method to reset them. I have an M1RB. My plan is to run a positive from the P412...

A friend of mine wants to be able to check his emails on his home theater screen. The TV has a DVI input. I'm trying to figure out how to set it up. He will need a computer in the media room, but he wants the emails to remain on the computer in his office. He does not use any kind of email...

Does anyone have a recommendation for an automated door opener and closer? I'd like to automate a double door and a pocket door. Thanks,
