So this is where the comments I made in another thread about individual zone programing and EOLs want to bite me in the rear. I want to hookup my doorbell to the OPII via the Elk-930 doorbell detector that I have. The 930 connects to an input zone as follows:
So the zone needs to be NO. In order for me to configure a zone on the OPII as NO that means I have to turn resistors (EOL) on and in my case that means adding resistors to the panel which I simply will not do. I don't know if I can use a relay or something to change this to use a NC zone so I figured before I try a bunch of things I figured I'd ask if anyone is using a 930 with their OPII or how else you connect your doorbell to the OPII. It would be so nice if the Omni panels could let you choose EOLs on a zone by zone basis!
Edit: I should add that it is a lighted doorbell.
Connect the output of the 930 to the zone input terminal. You will also have to connect the negative of the 930 to a negative terminal on the M1. Configure the zone as a normally open zone. Maybe a "Do Nothing Zone Type".
