The Interlink Relay in conjunction with a non-latching zone can be used to link two BiWire Flexi fire panels together (Figure 12) or to link a BiWire Flexi to a BiWire Ultra panel. It is recommended to use a non-latching zone in the BiWire mode and fit the EOLM-3 at the interlink relay of each panel.

Connect the cables (clearly labelled with the zone numbers) to the appropriate zone +/- terminals, observing the correct polarity. Figure 24 shows how different types of zone can be connected to a BiWire Flexi Fire Panel. If any of the zones are not used then the EOLM-3 must remain fitted to the terminals of that zone to ensure the system remains fault free.
