Re: Wiring multiple contacts on one ZONE

["Bill" <bill190nospam@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alarm contacts are usually wired in "series". Sounds like you have them
wired in "parallel". Also wire the resistor in series at the furthest away
(from the control unit) contact.

Series and parallel wiring diagrams here...
