Newbie Alarm Wiring Question - Honeywell Vista 21ip
Hey Folks,
I am setting up a Vista 21ip for the first time and after reading some posts about using 2k OHM resistors, I wanted to share my wiring pics and see if I am on the right path. From what I understand I have the option to use the zones as NC or EOL. Does this look right to you?
In addition, I am running two 4219 zone expanders except one is an older model (5 vs 8 dip switches). How do I set the zone expander's address when using two of them and of different vintage?
Thanks!

4219 installer manual: https://sep.yimg.com/ty/cdn/yhst-517...tion-guide.PDF
Normally, the 7 & 8 dip switches set whether the card allows NC or EOL and the board tamper switch
The one with only 5 dips may only allow EOL connections. It may have been a modified version made for a reseller.

I have been advised to wiring the resistors on the 4219 on the positive (+) terminal instead of the common (-). Why? Due to the jelly bean connectors not crimping down across three leads (2 neg wires + resistor) accurately and potentially creating a problem?

The resistor can go on the Z terminal or the COM terminal. However..... the COM is a shared connection. So for example.... Z1 and COM requires a resistor and Z2 and COM also require a resistor for a total of two resistors. Each zone must have it's own resistor.

If I understand your example correctly. Even if I wire up the resistor on COM, it will require two resistors (not 1 like I have currently done so on the 4219).?
