Dandy:

Glad you caught that one! For some reason I saw Security Alarm System's EOL Resistor when I read the original question <]:-)..

I have only done Security / Burglar Alarm systems, where the EOL Resistor and the zone's loop functions as I posted. Any Fire / Life / Safety systems for the Commercial Projects we do are sub'ed out to other ECs that are familiar with the existing systems [typically Simplex], so they get all the compatable strobes, etc. and programming according to that setup.

Is the EOL Resistor's function on F/L/S systems similar to the Security system's? - To have an X value of current flowing steadilly through the loop during normal operation [functioning NAND or NOR gates will be "Inverted" (NOT Logic or Logic 0) with EOL in circuit], or do the EOL Resistors become connected when the remote device trips [alarm], which would make the logic Gates AND, OR or possibly XOR?

Any info is helpful..

Your reply is correct for security alarm systems, not for fire systems. Loss of the supervisory voltage due to cut wire, missing device, etc. will give you a zone trouble, not a alarm condition.
