On the Omni there are two types of fire zones. One is called "Fire" and the documentation says its supervised. The other is called "Fire Emergency" and its "unsupervised." I know they are wired differently, and one even has a jumper that needs to be moved, but I'm not clear how they function differently.
So i am using 4-wire smokes, have a supervision relay at the end, and for that I'm using a "Fire" type with a switched voltage source. That works fine.
My question is what do I use for my fire sprinkler zone? There is just a normally closed pressure switch on the piping, to which I have added the 1K EOL resistor, so no power, just a set of contacts. Do I wire this like a normal zone and use "Fire Emergency" or do I wire it from switched power to the zone and select "Fire?" I'm assuming "Fire Emergency" is OK but there is a warning in the manual that says this is not "supervised" and only use this type if you have to.
