Some good feedback here, thank you. Bottom line is it's going to take patience on these couple of motions. The sad part for me is that I'm just a moderately astute DIY'er and not a Pro which means while I'm lilely above the average hack and whacker, I'll likely never get that same level of...

I am continuing to move through my Elk M1G security install. I have purchased several Honeywell DT-7435's and am in the process of identifying the best locations. It looks like a few 45 degree corners on outside walls (read insulated) are in my future. I have a basement and am typically...

You don't mis much, :) . Here's the explanation. My router is in my home office. I have a J-box on the wall that contains 5 keystones (1 x RG6, 3 X RJ45 ethernet and 1 X RJ11 phone). Two of the RJ45's actually connect to another J-box / keystone in my Great room with patch cables connecting...

I ran the following: doors/windows - 22/2 motions and glassbreaks - 22/4 Keypads - Cat5e, 22/4 18/2 regarding the keypads, the Cat5e is for the data bus (obviously). the 18/2 is for the speakers (I added SP12's behind the KP2's) and the 22/4 is just two extra pairs for future needs like a...

Hi. I just wanted to post a quick follow up for anyone who may read this in the future. After wiring several keypads suing Cat5e cable and then pulling a run from my router to the M1XEP, I learned that the RJ45 ends going into the DBH uss the 568A standard and the XEP is wired as 568B. I...

Thanks W2P. I was going to next ask if I needed to buy Elk RP, but now that I have access to the M1 owneres area on elkproducts.com, it looks like the Elk RP software is free. (I've already purchased a key for Elk RMS as well). I'm going to see if I can get the XEP into DHCP mode ( I thought...

Trying to get access to my M1XEP and ultimately the M1 via ElkRMS and am having trouble connecting. When I go into my router's configuration, there is no M1XEP on the network 192.168.0.251 or otherwise. What does the M1XEP typically show up as on the network? I rebooted the XEP and I have a...

Thanks DEL. I thought that was the case, but somehow got confused. I now understand that the PAL contacts are still NO which is Form A "make", however NO contacts connect the circuit when the relay is activated (magnet is near/door closed & secure) and disconnected when the relay is open...

I'm looking at the specs of the Honeywell PAL-T contacts and it shows these are Form A reed switches which I take to mean the contact/circuit is open when the magnet is near (door is closed/secure) and closed when the magnet moves away.. I also read on this forum that most contacts are commonly...

I have been doing my homework and am planning to install a security system in my home. I also have aspirations for some light HA in the future. My house is a 2 story colonial, roughly 3000sqft. The home was not pre-wired in any way and is finished and painted. There is a basement with full...
