Installing an ELK M1 Gold
All,
I am in the process of installing an Elk M1 Gold system in my house. It
looks awesome, but as it's my first installation. The basic system I am
installing consists of the following:
* M1 Gold with 16 onboard zones
* 16-zone expansion unit
* 2 Keypads, one with a weigand reader
* Thermostat/lighting/serial interface
* Ethernet interface
* Two-Way Listen-In Interface with 3 speaker/microphones
* RCS TR-40 communicating thermostats (qty 3)
* 4WTA-B Smoke detectors (qty 7)
* CO Detector
* Motion detectors (qty 6)
* Perimeter contacts (garage doors, windows, doors)
* Outside and inside temperature sensors
Each of the sensors, detectors, and contacts will have its own zone so I can
have flexibility in controlling the environment.
1. How exactly are the security contacts wired up with the EOL resistors? I
am using contacts that are closed when the door/window is closed. Should the
resistor be in parallel or series with the switch?
2. The smoke detectors I am using are iSeries 4WTA-B with an EOLR-1 relay
attached to each. Each smoke is on a separate zone so I can easily see which
detector has tripped. Is this a good approach? How do I get all detectors
to go off when one goes off?
3. I will be installing a supervised bell/siren in the main living quarters,
as well as a siren in the attic. Do I need anything else?
4. Can you think of anything else I should consider?
Thank you for your assistance!
Gary
