Thank you sir, this is very good advise and I thank you and others who have responded to my query. I indeed contacted the dealer in San Diego that I purchased the system from and they promised to get back to me after referring my inquiry to the appropriate person in their company. I am...

My wife has been patient in allowing me to have the time to get the system going but recent family events on her side has got her somewhat disturbed and she just wants someone to come and help me finish the alarm as well as evaluate what other enhancements like cameras on all sides that can be...

Folks, I've been on and off the forum learning from the competent people here. But one has to know his limits. I am having difficulty with getting the system programmed to a functional state, I just don't know what to do next. All the hard wiring is done per the manual and the system is...

"I second the Elk RP suggestion...makes life sooooo much easier...especially when naming zones etc. If i had to i could still use the keypads...but why boths trawling though all that when ElkRP is so easy (and free, all you need is a serial cable and serial port on your PC)" I called Elk today...

If the zones are not jumperred with a sensor, resistor, or disabled they need to be set to normally open. I set all mine to NO then added resistors to the first two and set them to EOL so I could simulate the door open close and play around before actually installing the panel. Jack Correction...

Thanks for the response WayneW and Digger. Battery Voltage in the Battery test reads: 11.1V, 0.160Amp, AC Power is 13.9V, 0.300Amp Does the system have a built in charger? The system has been plugged in inspite of the M1 power switch being off these past 2 years. Do I need a new...

Hey there! Long time lurker, few posts. I'm a DIY guy and I carefully hardwired my new (as of 2 years ago) Elk M1. It has just sat there after being wired because I was nervous about hooking up the keypad. This is my first home security installation. Please help me with the message I get on...

Forgive me, strike question 3- it contradicts factual statement in question 2. I meant to ask about the extra 2 wires blue and grey out of the keypad wire loom, are they supposed to be hooked up to anything?

Wired the ELK-M1G together. I am a first time DIY installer of my home alarm. Magnetic NC switches at two large glass sliders in the back, same switches at two garage access doors-one from the kitchen, the other from the outside and another from the front door. A total of six zones. Wired...

Hello all! Have lurked around here a few weeks on and off. Bought an ELK M1 about six months ago. Finally got enough info and confidence to go ahead and wire it all together. I will not rush in firing it all up until I am sure my carefull installation is correct. I have never installed an...

Hello, New to the forum. Recently purchased Elk MG1 based on knowledge gained lurking this forum. Alarm not installed yet, working on wiring the perimeter doors/windows first before messing with the unit itself. Many discussions involve recommendation for the GRI magnetic sliding switch with...
