Re: Firewolf 4-wire Napco 816 gives E41

["Robert L Bass" <RobertLBass@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the 4-wire smoke is on zone 7 or 8 make sure that the jumper is
set to "BURG" and not "2-WF".  If that's ok check for an open circuit
between the panel and the detector.  Note that multiple smoke
detectors on a single zone are wired in parallel -- not in series
like burglary sensors.  If you wire two or more smokes in series
you'll get a trouble condition unless all smokes are simultaneously
triggered.

If there's only one smoke, make sure the EOL resistor is across the
"extra" zone terminals on the smoke.  Technically, you're supposed to
use an EOL supervisory relay after the smoke but very few installers
actually use them.  Check those things first.  If you still can't get
it squared away give me a call.  I'll walk you through diagnosing it.
