[1] Mixed zones are not permitted in installations requiring EN 54-13 or intrinsically safe
configurations.
To measure the line resistance:
1. Disconnect all zone devices.
2. Create a short circuit at the end of the zone line.
3. Measure the resistance between the positive and negative lines with a
multimeter.
Terminating zones
Zone termination is required at all times, whether the zone is used or not. The
type of termination depends on the installation, as shown below.
