I have a GE 8016 Quik Bridge Loop Receiver that will be used primarily with GE NX-695 SAW wireless water sensors. It has eight channels that correspond to its eight NC relays. I want to connect the receiver to my M1G via an input zone expander, but I'm confused about how to wire it up.
Basically, the receiver's terminal strip has terminals for 12Vdc (+ and -), eight terminals for the eight channels, a terminal marked "ground", and a couple of other terminals for low battery and supervision. The Elk zone expander is in a remote can. I have an Elk 412 power supply and battery in the remote can, and I want to use the 412 to power the GE receiver.
The diagram on page 10 of the Installation Manual doesn't make any sense to me. For a NC loop (which is how I want it set up), it shows a single wire running from the channel one terminal on the receiver to a zone input on the control panel. The only other connections are the 12Vdc+- connections. Does this mean that the receiver must get power from the Elk data bus?
I also noticed that the channel terminals and either the single ground terminal or the 12Vdc negative terminal seemed to act as a regular relay...low resistance when closed and high resistance when open. If I should be using the single ground terminal, do I just daisy chain it to all of the "neg" terminals on the Elk input zone expander?
Thanks,
Ira
