Total newb here.
I've got an existing smoke system that I'd like to retrofit into a new ELK or HAI panel (still deciding) and the answer to this question might help me decide.
Here's the wiring diagram for the existing smokes...
It's a "BRK Electronics" sys for what it's worth. Maybe 8 or so detectors all connected to each other. I see references to "two-wire" detectors in the HAI documents, but I'm not sure if this would work. Could the "interconnect" wire and a panel ground serve as a loop for a single zone smoke detector circuit?
Any help would be appreciated.
