** To measure Analogue Loop Cable Resistance: a) short the cable pair at one end. b) bypass all isolators to ensure continuity (link +ve in to +ve out). c) measure the resistance across the two conductors - red to black. | |||
++ Include only Conventional Smoke Detectors connected to Loop Powered Interfaces such as Loop Responders. | |||
