So, I called safemart and Elk. Neither gave me a "guarantee" that it would work, but both thought it likely they would. I ordered 10, figuring for a total of $40, I would have lost that much $$$ if they didn't pan out. I think the Elk would put out enough voltage, but when they show up I'll let you know.
If you want multiple contacts on the same zone, you'd need to run them in parallel (they are normally open, so two in series wouldn't help you!), and I'm wondering out-loud what would happen if you tripped multiple alarms at the same exact moment (eg: would your voltage drop because you have 2 or 3 separate closed circuits, and hence the voltage of the elk would be divided in thirds?)
