I have a BG-12LX that I’m attempting to bypass the monitor module on but there is a resistor on the switch contacts so can I leave the resistor on the contacts or should I remove it? I plan to use it on a small alarm circuit with a horn strobe which will be around 12VDC or so (the BG-12 will be in the middle of the positive wire).
Just take small diagonal cutters and cut out the register. Now you have an on/off switch and a non- listed pull station! But don’t worry, just means it can no longer be used on a supervised system. Think of it this way, the module is just like a zone on a conventional panel, the resistor is just the end of line resistor, you are simply removing the module and resistor.
