ExampleSupervising a circuit end to end

On a supervised initiating circuit, where should the end-of-line resistor be installed?

  1. At the panel terminals
  2. After the last device on the runYour answer
  3. Before the first device
  4. At the midpoint of the run
  1. You: Why does the end-of-line resistor go after the last device instead of at the panel?

  2. Strobe

    The panel watches a small current that runs out along the circuit and back through that resistor. With the resistor at the far end, a broken wire anywhere on the run stops the current and shows as a trouble. At the panel, a break out in the field would go unseen.

    Key point

    The end-of-line resistor goes after the last device, so the panel watches the whole run.
