Hello.I have two DMP alarm panels. I have an XR200 and a XRSuper6 - both indifferent buildings approximately 100' away.I have the XRSuper6 configured to activate output 3 whenever a Firecondition is triggered. It is also configured to activate output 4whenever a Burglary condition is triggered.I am trying to tie those outputs into the XR200 as zones 7 and 8.I'm confused about how outputs work. From the manual:"The four annunicator outputs can be programmed to indicate theactivity ofthe panel's zones or conditions occurring on the system.Annunciator outputs do not provide a voltage but insteadswitch-to-ground voltage from another source."For my system to work correctly, it is almost like I need the outputsto act like door contacts... Closed when not in alarm, and open when inalarm.I've checked for continuity between the panel ground and the alarmoutput, but it is always open. Thus when I try to arm the XR200, I'mgetting faults on zones 7 and 8.Has anyone ever tried to do something like this?Thanks,-- Jason Millard

They're collector outputs.Why do you want to do this? If you can run a wire from the xr-200 why not just put that systems fire zone on one of the xr-200 fire zones ( 9 & 10 ) are both 2 wire smoke det. fire zones on the 200.| Hello.|| I have two DMP alarm panels.

Connecting two DMP alarms together? Outputs to Zones? Possible?

I know, and I appreciated all of his answers. If I had things to do over again, I would definitely do what he suggested.

It's really great how many people replied to this post just to help me out (of course, minus Turkey from the previous sub-thread) You don't find that very often!

Thanks,

There are always a few "fowl" around. :^)

The turnkeys or the help?

You're most welcome.
