Vista 20p installation problem

["eric" <eerixx@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the panel set up on a table for testing before installing it in
my home. I installed a window contact (Ademco PR-20451) to zone 2 with
(2k resistor in series) and configured as follows.
Zone type: Perimeter
Partition: 1
Report Code: 01-00
Hardwire Type: Normally closed

I get a fault on this zone all the time regardless of contact being
open or close. I remove the resistor and everything works fine! What am
I doing wrong here?


I have zone 3 and 11 zone doubled.
Zone 3 (3k resistor in series)
zone 11 (6.2k resistor in series)
Do these resistors act as the EOLR besides being used by the panel for
zone identification?


just for kicks I programed a window contact as zone type 9 for fire to
see how the system would react. my keypads beep but the siren does NOT
go off. Do I need to do anything to make the siren activate for fire
alarms? would it be a steady alarm tone? I am using ademco Wave2.

Many thanks in advance!!!
