So I am really trying to run this to ground, as there is conflicting information out there.
I have an install with an existing OPII where the owner wants to put in an expansion enclosure for a new outbuilding. As part of that, we want to put in 2 heat sensors to detect fire... one over a flammables locker and one over a welding workstation. Smoke detectors are a no go as it's basically a metal shop outbuilding that will have grinding and what not going on, not really the best location for a smoke detector. The install manual for the expansion enclosure is vague at best. It talks about 4 wires, but nothing about a 2 wire zone.
The basic question is this: Does the Expansion Enclosure support 2 wire heat sensors as a fire zone?
It's already too bad that HAI discontinued the standard temp sensor that worked on the expansion enclosure, now it looks like I hit another roadblock. Pulling wire all the way back to the original OPII is not an option. The data bus is coming off of another expansion enclosure that controls irrigation and an electric gate not too far away.
Has anyone seen first hand that a 2 wire heat zone will work?
