Wiring multiple devices gives 1k all closed and 2k,3k,4k,5k for various states of open. However, if possible, only add one detector per zone as it's not good practice to combine detectors on the same zone - root causing problem detectors becomes more complex. The push to set is a single operation. After you have pushed once, the circuit is ignored - you can press again and it will do nothing. It certainly will not unset the system in the way a keyswitch type zone would.

this is to give early warning of a connection issue failing device etc. good firms transmit this data and then book a visit 'before' the device fails. Low res is usually water or damage, high res is connection issues or failing detector

PTS is the completion of the setting process. Present tag or enter code, system starts to set, you close the entrance door (lock it or whatever) press the PTS & the exit mode stops & the system should be set pressing the button (unless its programmed to chime) does nowt unless the system in exit mode

You would only install multiple devices on one zone where you have no other option, situations like protecting a double door or roller shutter with two contacts. Having them on separate zones would mean you could have a confirmed alarm from one action which is not permitted for police calling.

pts = push to set

Double balanced has 2+ resistors so a short or complete open circuit is a tamper. on a agalaxy you can add multiple door contacts and just ad a 1k in parallel with the switch. Basically a reading of 1k is closed 2k to 11k is alarm, 12k+ tamper But you cant use fault resistors etc. its a sensor fault. A grade 3 sensor can report a fault on the eol wiring by open different relays to give a fault reading. The panel can then identify that the sensor itself has reported it has failed an internal test. exit termsinators are to tell the alarm that everyone is outside the protected area and it can complete the arming process. Most people use final door but i prefer pts (terminate)
