Re: End of Line Resistor - Are they a standard design?

[cctvbahamas@xxxxxxxxxxx]

down here in the Bahamas, noone really uses EOL ... though I have in
the past, there are just no legal requirements for it here .. my last
few major alarms I have though .. they look at me wierd when they turn
up to one of my latest alarms and find full diagrams of the system, and
EOL on every zone, since i dont do alarm service much anymore, turned
over to the alarm co's, they are all 18 year olds or local old timers
that dont know about EOL and why to use it, it kind of confuses them.
