Dual loop zone wiring 
In dual loop wiring, one zone can detect a few detector states. At least two 
resistors are used to define alarm and tamper states. Depending on the 
programmed settings, there can be additional states defined as masking alarm or 
sensor fault. These states can be the following: 
•  Short (tamper) 
•  Active (alarm) 
•  Normal 
•  Masking 
•  Sensor fault 
•  Open (tamper)

Possible EOL connections are listed in “EOL connection types” on page 27. 
Values for end-of-line resistors 
The following list contains the values for end-of-line resistors and possible zone 
states. Both the resistance and the voltage measured across the zone are 
shown. 
Depending on the input type and anti-masking option, the following EOL values 
can be available.
