You can use detectors that exceed 1.1k ohms in alarm, provided they maintain a voltage drop
of less than 3.8 volts in alarm.

Programming Hardwired Zones

Each zone must be programmed into the system, which assigns characteristics that define
the way the system responds to faults on that zone. Refer to #93 Menu Mode in the Quick
Start Guide for instructions on programming hardwired zones.

Checkout Procedure for Hardwired Zones

After installation of all hardwired zones is complete, power has been applied to the system,
and the zones have been programmed, each partition of the security system should be
checked as follows.
Make certain that all devices and sensors connected to the hardwired zones are not in a
faulted state. Doors and windows with contacts should be closed, PIRs should be covered
(use a cloth to mask them temporarily, if necessary).
1. With all hardwired zones intact, the alpha keypads connected to the system should
display:
If the following is displayed instead, press the [ ] key to display the faulted zone(s).
Restore any faulted zone(s) as necessary (also make sure that a 2000-ohm EOL resistor
has been connected across the terminals of unused zones). When the
DISARMED...READY TO ARM message is displayed, proceed to the next step.
2. Fault and then restore every contact or sensor on each zone individually to ensure that it
is being monitored by the system. Each time a zone is faulted, the keypads in the
partition to which the zone is assigned should display the number of the faulted zone.
Tripping fire and panic zones will cause external sounders to sound and may
trigger the dialer. When each zone is restored, the READY TO ARM message should
appear again.
If a zone or zones are not displayed at the correct partition's keypad(s), check both keypad and
zone programming to verify the correct partition assignment.
When the proper displays on the keypad(s) are received, the hardwired zones in the
system are functioning properly.
3. Power down and continue to the next section.
