I am in the process of installing my new Elk M1Gold Panel. I currently have an Ademco/Honeywell Vista50p with several hardwired and wireless zones. The windows & doors are all hardwired homeruns back to the panel in series with the EOL resistor making up 3 zones. (windows split into 2 / doors on 1)
I plan to use an ELK-M1XIN to make all 16 windows each their own zone and 4 doors their own zone with the M1. I am trying to get a clear understanding as to what the best placment of the resistor is. At the panel or the contact? Are they necessary? I am using recessed magnetic contacts.
below is the current connections with all showing connection running in series with the resistor connected to the panel via a short wire
