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

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

besides, this sounds like a commercial installation and the xr-6 is not
commercial fire rated (pretty sure it's not)...you may be better off running
a fire rated zone expander off the 200 over to the other building...that way
its also supervised.

there are other possibilities as well.

|| 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,
