I would like to seek confirmation how to wire up  a 4 wires smoke detector for my Comfort system. Based on Comfort manual, it should be wired as per Figure 2.12. <br />
Q1. If I donÃ¢â¬â¢t have the EOL Relay, can I wire it according to Figure 2.11 instead?<br /><!-- start: postbit_attachments_attachment -->

			<description><![CDATA[Hi, I have a Comfort system installed and working with normal alarm sensors and single Heat&amp;Smoke sensor centrally placed in the house.&nbsp; When I originally installed it I tested all the zones including using the test button on the fire sensor.<br />
<br />
Fortunately the fire sensor has never triggered in a real situation so far. However, something occurred to me today... it is a 24 hour zone. So, what will happen if say we have a very smoky cooking session and the smoke manages to drift through the house to the sensor (very unlikely, but theoretically possible). The sensor will trigger a fire alarm. If we then \'cancel\' the alarm by entering a user code on the keypad, will Comfort continually re-trigger the fire alarm until the smoke eventually clears from the sensor?<br />
<br />
The sensor is connected in non-latched \"auto reset\" mode and the docs say it resets when the smoke has gone. So, I assume the sensor will permanently stay in \'alarm\' mode until clear. Even in latch mode, that just tells it to say in \'alarm\' state until power is removed, so even then if the smoke is still present it would trigger again.<br />
<br />
So, in addition to my question above&nbsp;- If Comfort would keep re-triggering, how can I avoid this - e.g. force it silent for a period, or something like that?&nbsp; I want to avoid the situation where I\'m at work and I receive a phone call from home telling me&nbsp;they can\'t silence the alarm because the overzealous cooking smoke hasn\'t yet cleared.&nbsp; That would NOT go down well.<br />
<br />
Will I be able to set a flag when the fire zone triggers and then AFTER the user signs in and acknowledges it, maybe use a Timer for say 30 minutes to prevent that zone re-triggering, or is it impossible to disable fire zones in that way (as I vaguely recall reading somewhere in the docs)?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[I\'m trying to wire 3 ESP Fireline smoke/heat detectors into my Comfort system and I\'m having a little trouble deciding where to put the resistors. I\'ve looked at the wiring diagram for four wire smoke detectors in the quick installation guide and I believe I can follow it to connect each detector into a separate zone, but I don\'t have enough spare zones to allow that - I need all three connected together into a single zone.<br />
<br />
I have the optional relay bases for the detectors so I can use the wiring diagram from this 2 page pdf:<br />

I just need to know where to put the 4k7 resistor (or resistors if more than one is needed). Any suggestions?<br />

<br />
along with the following base to attach each of them to - YBO-R/6R Hochiki Conventional Latching Relay Base<br />
I\'ve run a wire for each back to Comfort, but could do with some recommendations on  how best to wire them into Comfort and/or each other? also how best to configure them in Comfigurator.<br />

<br />
Here are some suggested headings:<br />
<br />
* Recommended wiring topology and cables<br />
* Different manufacturers <br />
* Smoke heat C02 ?<br />
* Wiring NC with EOL and latching / non latching bases<br />
* Customer use / operation<br />
* Programming<br />
* Commissioning<br />
* Setting up service schedules.<br />
<br />
<br />
If any body has any immediate questions then please post otherwise ill work my way through the above headings when time permits.]]></description>
