Sensor Zone
Zone Common
5. Contact sensor zones. A zone is a closed wired loop that contains one or
more devices. Zones are used as a way of grouping several sensors or
devices together for eciency. Contact sensor zones are two-wire zones
with one or more contact sensors.
6. End of line resistors. Small wires with resistors on them used to reduce
the flow of electricity, indicating the end of a zone.
7. Terminal. A connection point that secures the wires to the alarm panel.
It will often hold each wire in place with a screw or a clip.
Wire nuts or wire connectors. (Not shown) Small plastic pieces
secured over the end of any connection between two wires for safety.
Each alarm panel will look dierent depending on the brand, model,
location of the alarm panel, size of the home, security components,
and other factors. Your panel may look dierent, but it will likely have the
same components and work the same way. If you are not experienced
in wired alarm equipment modification, we recommend that you consult
a professional.
