John,
Are you specifying the Zone Definition as FIRE and the Input Type as 4/W – 4 Wire Smoke? When you click Save in the app on the XIN Configuration screen, the system will check all 16 inputs on the XIN and compare them to the assigned Zone Definitions. If the Zone Definition is FIRE and the Input Type is not 4/W, the system will generate an Incompatible Error. The error message should also indicate which input is causing the issue.
Due to how the system is designed, this validation occurs only when saving on the XIN or Main Input Configuration pages. Please note that if you change a Zone Definition after the input has been configured, the system does not currently revalidate the input configuration when saving changes on the Zone Settings page.
The differences between EOL and 4/W input configurations are as follows:
- EOL (End of Line): Normal when it detects the resistor; triggers an Alarm on a Shorted Condition or an Open Condition (EOL Resister missing).
- 4/W (4-Wire Smoke): Normal when it detects the resistor; triggers an Alarm on a Short but a Trouble on an Open Condition (EOL Resister missing).
Let me know if you have any questions or if this doesn’t resolve the error you’re experiencing.
Thanks,
Mike
