Question im working on a DSC power 832. there are 7 smokes and 1 heat. i have checked my wire, power, resistance and have cleaned all my smokes. the system continues to go into trouble then into alarm. they are all hardwired into the system on a power module. zone 16 is where they are on the system. i do not have the model type but the ones in the room have a piezo and another tech replaced one a while back with a bosch, but the others are certainly not bosch.
Answer Hell Alexander. Sounds like you're a tech... what company?
From you're description, it sounds like you have 4-wire detectors and the RM-1 Power Loop Supervisory module.
If this is the case, you're using the wrong resistors and it may even be in the wrong place.
