4.1.3 Normally Open Supervised Single EOL Resistor Input
Connection
Connect an 8.2 kΩ resistor in parallel to the input switch contacts.
A Normally Open Supervised Input has 3 states:
Switch Open – Normal State:
Loop resistance = 8.2 kΩ
Switch Closed – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = 0 (short circuit)
Open circuit across input terminals – Trouble State:
Loop resistance = Infinite (open circuit).

4.1.4 Normally Open Supervised Double EOL Resistor Input
Connection
Connect a 2.2 kΩ resistor in series to the input switch contacts.
Connect an 8.2 kΩ resistor parallel to the input switch contacts.
A Normally Open Supervised Input has 3 states:
Switch Open – Normal State:
Loop resistance = 10.4 kΩ
Switch Closed – Abnormal State:
Loop resistance = 2.2 kΩ
Open circuit (infinite loop resistance) or short circuit (0 resistance) across
input terminals – Trouble State
