Guest deepblue55 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ive wired up the control panel, but not sure ive done it right. ive got an EL Summit 3208 and it says system not ready due to open perimeter zones. is that a problem? or is that just normal? ive used 4 wires on the PIR, two to power, and two for the alarm loop. ive set the zone to end of line resistor. i havent wired up the tamper loop, partly because im not sure how and partly because i think the system will work ok without it. any suggestions on the correct way to wire up PIRs or why the alarm is saying that its not ready would be appreciated. also if anyone knows where there are image galleries of correctly wired control boxes that would be really helpful ... thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ALSEC Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Is this a wind up?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deepblue55 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Is this a wind up?? not sure i understand but it says zones are open all the time, not just when the PIRs are triggered, so i guess i just dont know what ive done wrong. i dont really understand what EOLR is, so im just wanting to see how they should be wired up so i can check that i havent missed anything ... i can post a photo of it ive basically had to replace a control panel for an alarm that was previously working ... the installation manual hasnt been very helpful with regard to the actual wiring up side of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 TBH Deepblue, the method you are utilising, is a bit more complicated than the way you are trying to wire it up at the moment. Unfortunately due to it being a public forum we can't discuss how the wirring for EOL is achieved, but the way you are going about things is wrong Im affraid. I think it might be an idea to get some quotes to have the panel fitted by an alarm company. Regards, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, as an amateur I wouldn't attempt it! Definitely a job for the pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish people would read posts properly. strange i thought this was a forum for !! DIY alarm installers !! ... i didnt think it was a difficult question, i just want to know how to wire in a PIR to the control panel, because im guessing ive missed something since its saying the zones are open but if talking about EOL is a bit of a taboo subject then thats cool ... i dont want to get anyone in trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 it is not a difficult question. EOL stands for End Of Line. when you add resistor in to the phrase it sounds like "end of line resistor" --> resistor that is in the end of the line. here is a very BAD example of it: that is like "in the beginning of the line resistor".. (can't believe someone really advertises themselves in the web with such a pictures..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
