The previous system used ID biscuits. I now have the EOL resisters.


I was looking at the EOL resistors in the manual. The benefit seems to be less wiring in that it can use a single pair of wires for alarm and tamper. The instructions seem to imply that I can use a separate pair of wires for alarm and tamper which I was planning on doing as the wiring is already in place (and that's how the current system is setup).


Each alarm needs a pair of wires going back to the control panel (or
maybe a keypad). Alarms such as PIRs need power, but that can be
shared. I bought the 8XE Zone expander so that gives me 16 alarm ports
on the control panel. I don't use them all.
