Re: Connecting two DMP alarms together? Outputs to Zones? Possible?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They're collector outputs.

Why do you want to do this? If you can run a wire from the xr-200 why not
just put that systems fire zone on one of the xr-200 fire zones ( 9 & 10 )
are both 2 wire smoke det. fire zones on the 200.

| Hello.
|
| I have two DMP alarm panels. I have an XR200 and a XRSuper6 - both in
| different buildings approximately 100' away.
|
| I have the XRSuper6 configured to activate output 3 whenever a Fire
| condition is triggered. It is also configured to activate output 4
| whenever a Burglary condition is triggered.
|
| I am trying to tie those outputs into the XR200 as zones 7 and 8.
|
| I'm confused about how outputs work. From the manual:
|
| "The four annunicator outputs can be programmed to indicate the
| activity ofthe panel's zones or conditions occurring on the system.
| Annunciator outputs do not provide a voltage but instead
| switch-to-ground voltage from another source."
|
| For my system to work correctly, it is almost like I need the outputs
| to act like door contacts... Closed when not in alarm, and open when in
| alarm.
|
| I've checked for continuity between the panel ground and the alarm
| output, but it is always open. Thus when I try to arm the XR200, I'm
| getting faults on zones 7 and 8.
|
| Has anyone ever tried to do something like this?
|
| Thanks,
