Re: Question about Napco 8-zone expander

Yes, it is required to use EOLRs on that module for unused zones and
all zones, for that matter, unless you reconfigure the zones in PCD
software.  If you configure them as "No EOL required" then you can
simply use a jumper across the unused zones.  I do not beleive that
this programing option can be done from the keypad.
