Galaxy Resistor Values

[dwdave]

1k and 2k (2x1k)with the resistors going at the detector not in the panel.

I'm just playing on a bench at the moment with a pa button using the blue resistors that came with the rios and they are weighing in at 12300 ohms. I've got loads of them. I'm guessing they are the wrong ones so atrip out to maplin I guess?

What I would like to know is what's best practice for fitting resistors in an eol detector which doesn't have built it ones. Does anyone have a photo? I don't want to go using cable blocks if the better way is to just screw the resistor into the terminals of you get what I mean.

I'm not wanting it to be a bodge job. Equally I'm not an installer so I can't expect it to be perfect!

12k was for anti mask detection so you would have 3 resistors in the detector. Not applicable for what you are doing, you can just have the 1k ones.

Yes Galaxy's use 1K shunt and 1K tamper resistors. The 12K will be for mask detection as above.

 

Resistors are built in most detectors now, however, if not the best way is to put them straight in the terminals of the device as required.

 

I know it's a contact and a breakglass but this thread may give you an idea.
