I am very new to ELK security and trying to setup my first system. Want to run some things by you guys to make sure I am not hooking something up wrong and fry my elk.
Where I am at. I have 3 door sensors, one motion, and 2 keypads for right now. All wires are wired all the way from the sensor/keypad to the panel. The keypad and motion wires are cat5e. One keypad is standard keypad and one is touchscreen navigator.
My question. At the first keypad, black white green and red wires get connected to the corresponding cat5 wires. Then the blue and brown wires are not used as I do not have anything else on that line? Or do I need this EOL resistor, and is that a true resistor connected in the wires or is it a jumper on the keypad or main board?
Then the second keypad gets setup the same way at the keypad? Do I just put both wires into the same terminals on the main panel? Any special jumpers need set?
Thanks for any advice and sorry for being novice. I have read and re read the manual but it just is not clear to me.
