NO/NC Double Resistor 1K

This is the traditional Software House method of supervision where 1K 

 is considered Secure 

and 500

are considered Alert. Notice that the wiring is different for NO and NC.

Figure 6:  

NO / NC Double Resistor 1K

This method will report:

Short

Alert (500 ohms)

Normal (1K)

Alert (2K)

Open (>30K)

Line Fault (Any unexpected value) Usually due to wrong value resistors or faulty 

resistors.

For UL Listed products, 
burglar alarms must be supervised.
