Well, tonight I got the official reply from a technical support supervisor at HAI about my EOL situation, here it is below. I'm actually kind of relieved at this point as there is only one thing I can do to fix the problem now.

Hmm, how would I get there? Is this something that you can do with PC access or a different program? Or is it done via a console?

Yeah I did pull one last night. I pried it out of the frame which made a mess, and the wires didn't really want to come out of the frame with it, but did grudgingly. Couldn't get to the resistor though, so I used a 1" hole saw in the wall right next to where it comes through the door frame, and...

Well at this point I've tried everything within reason including putting a potentiometer in place of the resistor on the expansion board to see if I could find that sweet spot, but to no avail. The way the LT checks the voltages must be very dependant on the value of the onboard resistors and if...

Well, I got the new PSC05 today. Plugged it in, tried a command, and it works like a charm. Guess my other unit was a dud. Thanks all!! -Rich

I'm going to try all these things this weekend when i have more time. Thanks guys!

Yes! Awesome! That did the trick! THANKS! The thermostat was still showing "EVE" after this procedure, so I popped it off the wall and disconnected the data feed to hopefully "reset" it, and then the evening indicator was gone, and after a minute it started showing the alternating outdoor/indoor...

Thanks for the input guys. Tried it, and the circuit shows as trouble when it's open. Ah well. I did go ahead and order some 2.5K resistors, gonna try the mod as I mentioned before. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work, and the only downside is that I can only put 2.2K EOL devices on...

I should clarify. The contacts (and the EOL's) are actually inside the frame of the doors and windows. It's very well done; you can't see them at all when they're closed, and only if you know what to look for when they're open. Digging them out involves removing wood. I did take one out in the...

Hi Brian, thanks for the reply! Everything you mentioned to check is OK, but I am still not getting any outdoor temp display to the thermostat. I have firmware 2.12A, could this be a factor? I already ordered the new 3.0, should be arriving this week. Also, I had the thermostat connected and...

I'm also familiar with some devices that have the resistor actualy built inside them, and the only way to change the resistance is to replace the device.

Hi Frank, yes. They are as follows, measured across the load: 13.6 V open 6.1 w/ 3.7K normally tied down 6.1 w/ 3.7K tied to earth 2.4 w/ 1K normally tied down Unless you have an idea, I think the only thing left for me to do is to replace the 3.7K resistors that are soldered onto the board...

Hi all, I have the above setup installed. I can see the outdoor temperature properly registering when i look at PC access or listen to status on the phone or check it on the consoles (BTW it's 40 F. here in Christiansburg, VA), and I have the remote connection to my Omnistat RC-80 working...

Well i guess it depends on the type of system you have and how you choose to set it up. As i said, since the existing contacts in my walls are all EOL=secure, open=violated, anything else=trouble, that's how I set up the Omni. Apparently you can't pick and choose per-zone how you want it to be...

Hi, yep the existing door/window contacts are normally closed w/ an EOL resistor is in series. When the circuit is normal an ohmmeter shows 2.2K, when it's faulted it shows open. In the application directory it calls for adding a 1.5K resistor (assuming you have 2.2K in the walls as i do)in...
