I'm not sure.  Somewhere around 40 or 50 I think.
The problem this gentleman faces is he has to
pass inspection of the pool alarm.  In Florida and
California pool alarms (or fances) are mandatory.
The inspector will usually insist on a UL2017
listed device.

Most inspectors will pass a residential HA or
alarm system with the control panel displaying
"UL Pending" which is what ELK (like every
other maker of a new HA panel) did.

Correction.  UL does not "approve" anything.
The panel is now UL *listed*.  However, it
is not listed as a pool alarm.  Fortunately for
the gentleman who posted looking for
assistance (not personal vendettas), the
components he requires are less costly than
the ELK-M1G.

Please leave your insults in the security
newsgroup, Olson.  No one here is interested
in your war.
