Circuit type  Test 
Addressable analog circuits  1.  Verify the continuity of each conductor. Each conductor 
should measure less than 50 Ω. 
2.  Measure the resistance between conductors. The circuit 
resistance between conductors should be infinite if no 
devices are connected to the circuit. 
3.  Measure the resistance between each conductor and earth 
ground. The circuit resistance between a conductors and 
earth ground should be infinite. 
Traditional initiating device 
circuits 
1.  Verify the continuity of each conductor. 
2.  Measure the resistance between conductors. The circuit 
resistance between conductors should be infinite if no 
devices are connected to the circuit. The circuit resistance 
between conductors should be approximately 4.7 kΩ when 
devices are installed. 
3.  Measure the resistance between each conductor and earth 
ground. The circuit resistance between a conductors and 
earth ground should be infinite. 
Telephone riser circuit  1.  Verify the continuity of each conductor. Each conductor 
should measure between 0 and 25 Ω. 
2.  Measure the resistance between conductors. The circuit 
resistance between conductors should be infinite if no 
devices are installed on the circuit. The circuit resistance 
between conductors should be approximately 15 kΩ with 
SIGA-CC1 Single Input Signal Modules and the end
-of-line 
resistor correctly installed. 
3.  Measure the resistance between each conductor and earth 
ground. The circuit resistance between a conductors and 
earth ground should be infinite. 
RS-485 communication circuits  EST3 uses RS485 circuits for the: 
•  Network data riser 
•  Network audio riser 
• SAC bus 
1.  Verify the continuity of each conductor. Each conductor 
should measure between 0 and 50 Ω. 
2.  Measure the resistance between conductors. The circuit 
resistance between conductors should be infinite if no 
devices are connected to the circuit. The circuit resistance 
between conductors should be approximately 50 Ω when 
devices are installed. 
3.  Measure the resistance between each conductor and earth 
ground. The circuit resistance between a conductors and 
earth ground should be infinite.
