    Remote to Garage

    Hi y'all, we've got an M1 and need to control a circuit in a detached garage that we can't get wires to.  In the past we have used Linear Xmit/Rcvr to do this.  Does anyone know of other options to accomplish this?  We will have the Elk initiate the transmitter and the receiver will trigger a...

    Any pro's out there?

    We have been installing primarily, Moose/Caddx/GE/Interlogix for a long time.  Mostly because they are so user freindly and easy to setup/program.  High end is mostly Elk because we stick with our roots.  Recently I found out UTC is done and we need to find a new "go to system" for our installs...

    Disarming system options

    I also have longer delays on my OHGD's. And I have Fobs and an Rf rcvr. But VIC's question got me wondering.  Can you teach your car button to use the elk to open the garage door via a relay?  Then you could use rules to disarm?  It may make your house less secure though.  Say if someone stole...

    techteacher, have you also considered, that if your power is out your modem/router/switch must also have a backup source of power or you wont be contacted by your system.  Makes that Tesla batt' look better!

    Smoke Relay to Elk - Adding a single GE350CX

    In addition to not mixing manufacturers detectors, no one has mentioned that the relay on the 350 only triggers when that head goes into alarm.  If there is a fire is in another area of the house and the devices are all sounding, the relay and hence the security system would not be triggered...

    No reversing relay option for NX8E panel?

    We do this alot with NX panels.  We use one of the programmable outputs on the NX board to trigger an Elk relay which in turn triggers the reversing module.  Program the output to go to neg. when triggered, by a fire zone,  non-latching and silence on code entry.  We use the Elk relay because...

    Interconnect 120VAC smokes with alarm panel

    Why not supervise the 120v power at the end of the circuit? Just like you would with a 4-wire smoke circuit. Wouldn't this meet the requirement? You could wire the zone through a 120v relay and get a trouble signal when the power goes out. The problems I see would be nuisance troubles for...

    Hello to all. I am looking for a way to activate a relay from workstations on a LAN. After viewing someone at the entry door on desktop (via IP Cam)I would like to give users the capability to release the door lock. Are "F" keys programmable to do this? Can I use a serial output of a PC and...

    The GE GSM Module uses the AT&T Cellular network. We have a client in a location that has no AT&T signal. Does anyone know of an alternate dialer that would communicate signals from the NX panel over Verizon's network? Thanks, CDC

    Cartell CP2 and Elk

    "No matter what I do, I don't get any change in status from the Elk. I've tried taking the resistor off, but again no change." Have you defined the zone? If you have "RP", look at the zone voltage when you have the zone normal and when it is faulted. The voltage should go from 7.0v to 0.0v...

    Elk to my cell phone

    Thanks Dan, I did not buy this phone, it is actually an older phone that I activated. I thought I would use it for a while to see if I would like it before buying a newer phone (I have fat & not very dexterous fingers). I mostly want it for emails and maybe update some word or exel Doc.s in...

    Elk to my cell phone

    My kids tell me not to admit this, but I have just activated a Verizon Samsung Smartphone. It uses a MS Mobile6 OS. I can't acces my M1G remotely and I'm assuming it is because I don't have the Java applet installed. I went to the Java site and don't see an option for my mobile device. Is...
