End of Line Resistor - Are they a standard design?

Richard Faulkner · 2005-09-30T16:52:49+00:00

Hi,Manchester - England.I have had a fire alarm / smoke detection system fitted to a block of 7 flats, but it doesnt yet work. The installer is saying that he cannot get an end of line resistor from the supplier who is waiting for them to be delivered, (this has gone on for several weeks now).I have asked if the resistor can be obtained from somewhere else and he says that it cant.Am I right in thinking that this must be a simple thing to obtain, or is it likely to be a resistor unique to the system?Any help appreciated as I think I am being blagged - although I cant imagine why.

Thanks to everyone for their replies - The builder tells me that the eol resistor is housed in a unit which screws into the smoke alarm unit. We're going to take one out over the next couple of days so we can see if we can get one elsewhere.

Thanks again.
