Using 2-Wire Smoke Detectors on Zone 1
Zone 1 can support up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors.
The alarm current on zone 1 supports only one
smoke detector in the alarmed state.

These smoke detectors are UL Listed for use
with the VISTA-40 and are the only 2-wire
smoke detectors that may be used.
Wiring 2-Wire Smoke Detectors to Zone 1
2K EOL resistors must be used on fire zones
and must be connected across the loop wires
of each zone at the last detector.
To wire 2-wire smoke detectors to zone 1, perform the
following steps:
Step Action
1 Select up to 16 2-wire smoke detectors from
the list of compatible detectors.
2 Connect 2-wire smoke detectors across zone 1
terminals (10 and 11) as shown in Figure 3-
10. Observe proper polarity when connecting
the detectors.
3 Connect the EOL resistor at the last detector
in the loop across the zone 1 terminals. The
EOL resistor must be connected across
the loop wires at the last detector.

Using 4-Wire Smoke Detectors on Zones 1-8
You may use as many 4-wire smoke detectors as can be
powered from the panel’s Auxiliary Power output
without exceeding the output’s rating (750mA).
Auxiliary power to 4-wire smoke detectors is
not automatically reset after an alarm, and
therefore must be momentarily interrupted
using a 4204 Relay Module.
Compatible 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Use any UL Listed 4-wire smoke detector that is rated
for 10-14VDC operation and that has alarm reset time
not exceeding 6 seconds. Some compatible 4-wire
smoke detectors are listed below.

Wiring 4-Wire Smoke Detectors

Power to 4-wire smoke detectors must be
supervised with an EOL device (use a System
Sensor A77-716B EOL relay module
connected as shown in Figure 3-11).
To wire 4-wire smoke detectors to zones 1-8, perform
the following steps:
Step Action
1 Select 4-wire smoke detectors (see list of
compatible detectors shown previously in
this section).
2 Connect detectors (including heat detectors,
if used) across terminals of the zone selected.
All detectors must be wired in parallel. See
Figure 3-11.
3 Connect the EOLR at the last detector in the
loop across the zone’s terminals. You must
connect the EOLR across the loop wires
at the last detector.
