Guest pbsouthern Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hello, wondering if anyone can help. I've a veritas r8plus panel, and I've wired in to it two texecom exodus smoke detectors on the same zone. When I first wired them in and tested them they alarmed as a tamper alarm rather than fire. I then realised that the installer had used resistors in the PIR's etc. to form balanced zones, and the global tamper still had its contacts across. I have disabled the EOL option on the panel for the time being which means that my smoke detectors alarm with a fire tone, but it now means that I have no tamper protection inside. (I guess this isn't a major deal but I like things to be right) - The problem is that the Texecom book only gives diagrams and instructions for EOL wiring for single detectors per zone. Do you put a 3.3 ohm resistor in to every detector or just one, and similarly if I wanted to put two PIR s on one zone do I have a resistor in each ? Help (Thanks very much in advance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTCAR Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Looking at page 13 of the manual , there is a note at the bottom regarding fire type devices.I would re-instate eol and add a 33k res across the end of your series fire detector loop (but not the tamper).BTW I,ve haven't used the exodus yet.

Guest pbsouthern Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Thanks very much - I thought that would be the case I just wasn't sure if it was a resistor in the last detector or each of them (Although the phrase end of lineshould have rung some bells !!!!
