The KX18DC has 2 set of header pins at the top of 

the printed circuit board. These headers are used 

to select the End of Line resistance for EOL wiring 

applications. 

If EOL wiring is not used, leave the headers OFF. 

The connection shows the 

example values 4k7 for alarm, 4k7 

for tamper (EOL).  And uses 2k2 

for zone doubling EOL.

The connection shows the 

example values 4k7 for alarm, 

4k7 for tamper (EOL). 

The 

connection 

shows the 

example 

values 4k7 for 

alarm, 4k7 for 

tamper (EOL). 

The 

connection 

shows the 

example value   

4k7 for tamper 

(EOL). 

The KX18DC has a terminal marked ‘LED’ which can 

be used to enable the LED in walk test only on an 

alarm control panel. This is used when the LED is 

disabled via the 

LED ON/OFF link

. To enable this 

feature, the LED terminal needs to be connected to 

an output on the control panel. When the system is 

in walk test mode the output should be at 0v.

The output would be usually programmed as 

‘Remote LED enable’

BLUE LED. Once this has distinguished the detector 

is ready to use.
