12. Conventional detector lines
12.1 Measuring the Cables
1. Disconnect all power from the control panel.
2. Measure the resistance between the wires of the conventional
line cable. Set the meter to low voltage resistance measurement
(not diode measurement).
Depending on connected devices the result should be:
- If all devices are normally open (NO) types and no EOL
resistor is connected the meter should indicate a break in the
line
- If all devices are normally open (NO) types and an EOL
resistor is connected the meter should indicate the value of
the EOL resistor.
- If some devices are normally closed (NC) types the meter
should indicate the parallel connection of the series
resistances of those devices
If the resistance meter indicates other values, the cause of the
fault must be located. (It may be a detector connected the wrong
way or a short circuit in the conductors).
3. Short-circuit the wires of the conventional detection line cable at
the control panel during measuring.
4. Disconnect the end-of-line resistors from those conventional
detection line terminals to which the cables are to be connected.
5. Take the end-of-line resistor with you and walk to the end of the
line and measure the resistance between the wires of the cable.
The maximum allowed resistance is 100 Ω (50 Ω if the line goes
through an Exi barrier). If the resistance is higher, there is a break
in the line (did you remember short-circuit the cable wires at the
control panel). Locate the breaks and eliminate them.
6. Connect the end-of-line resistors to their respective places (the
last detector or manual call point of the line or the end-of-line unit
box connected after the last device).
