hello all,
I wired my new construction house a while back and the time has finally come to start installing some items. I wired for smoke detectors in a daisy-chain fashion, planning to use the 2WTA-B and i used 4-conductor wire to do this. Unfortunately, the way the house is laid out "lead" me to split it into 2 zones, meaning I have 5ea detectors on one "zone" and 3 detectors on the second "zone". Both these zones end up at the Elk M1 location. I'm not sure what i was thinking at the time.
My question is, I know one of the "zones" can by connected to J16 on the M1, but can my "zone" 2 be connected to another zone input on the M1, or possibly Z16 on an input expander? or would I need to connect all the detectors and connect to J16?
I am planning to install the reversing relay but unsure if I need one or two.
Hopefully the above doesnt read too much like rambling.
Thanks
Eric
