- Around line 12-14: Update the DEOL and TEOL resistor-state guidance to require
selecting a panel-specific topology before calculating equivalent resistance or
thresholds. In the EOL resistor calculator rules, replace universal equations
with topology-specific equations and ensure TEOL anti-masking states follow the
selected panel circuit; preserve SEOL behavior while preventing validation
without a topology.
- Around line 22-25: Restore the complete, documentation-verified resistor
values for the Honeywell Vista, DSC PowerSeries, Texecom Premier, and Bosch
Security manufacturer presets, replacing the truncated leading digits. Keep the
DSC and Bosch DEOL values explicit, correctly ordered, and preserve the existing
preset formatting.
- Line 13: Update the Double EOL description and the related ADC and
wire-resistance equations to replace undefined placeholders with defined
variables, balance all math delimiters, and provide complete left-hand
expressions. Explicitly state whether L represents one-way conductor length or
total loop length, including the corresponding factor of two for a two-conductor
loop, so the equations support reproducible calculations.
- Line 18: Update the noise-margin requirement in the alarm zone loop guidance
so 0.35V is used only for explicitly documented hardware; for other panels,
require deriving the margin from panel-specific ADC, reference, supply,
tolerance, and temperature parameters, and scope the rule to supported panels.

Require a panel-specific topology before applying the resistor states.

R_eq = R_eol and R_eq = R_eol + R_alarm apply only to a specific DEOL wiring arrangement. Other panels use different resistor placements and threshold definitions. The TEOL state also depends on the panel's anti-masking circuit. Require the selected panel topology and use topology-specific equations before calculating thresholds. Otherwise, the rule can validate an incorrect loop.

Complete the ADC and wire-resistance equations.

{zone} and {margin} are undefined placeholders, and the $ delimiters are unbalanced. The wire-resistance expression has no left-hand variable and does not define whether L is one-way or total loop length. Define complete equations. For a two-conductor loop, state the factor of two or define L as total conductor length. The current text does not support reproducible calculations.

Also applies to: 17-19

## 2. ADC Voltage Threshold Mathematics
- Voltage divider equation: {zone} = V_{cc} \times \frac{R_{eq}}{R_{eq} + R_{pullup}}$.
- Ensure minimum noise margin {margin} \ge 0.35V$ between consecutive state windows to prevent false tamper alarms.

Scope the noise-margin requirement to documented hardware.

This rule applies to all alarm zone loops, but line 18 hard-codes 0.35V without panel-specific ADC, reference, supply, tolerance, or temperature parameters. A calculator following this rule can produce incorrect threshold recommendations. Use 0.35V only for a documented hardware set. Otherwise, derive the margin from those parameters and scope the rule to the supported panels.

Restore the complete manufacturer preset values.

.0 kΩ, .6 kΩ, and .7 kΩ are incomplete numbers. The DSC DEOL pair also contains an incomplete first value. These entries cannot be used as resistor presets. Replace them with verified values from the panel documentation. Keep each DEOL pair explicit and ordered.
