But wireless is already available so it won't exactly replace EOL...

Semantics

Do you fancy fitting 8 resistors and using 10 cores for a detector in the future or a bus device on 2 wires?

You speak with forked toungue , why 8?

Hkc data bus works well though

I see little time difference in wiring two cores or four cores TBH.

Doubt detectors will be asked to do that many statuses.

EOL will not disappear overnight.

 

I think IP could be another option in the future.

Ip expensive though? Bus makes sense each component with an Id , addressable fire panels already have it , and some intruder have a type of data , although needs a third core

Possibly but think about the labour saving of using existing infra.

 

I don't understand what you mean about a third core tho?

Ie hkc uses data bus pirs, positive, negative and data core

You can star it in any direction, loop it as long as the third data core is connected

That word keeps popping up "hkc"

It's not a word.

I'd put money on anything wired (for detection) being a technological dead end. Lithium battery power is moving fast allowing it to be incorporated into many different platforms and production is ramping up in anticipation of this, examples of this change are all around you in the media - hoovers being the obvious one.

 

I think 3-5 years time we'll be fitting w'free dtecs as standard with all parameters accessable and controlled via the panel/remotely with mesh tech as standard too. Even on new commercial installs.
