Commiserations! Still, having looked at their documentation, and done a bit more Googling, I think you can take my suggestion below with a much higher confidence rating...

It's too early for them and too late for me.

Why don't you just try phoning Europlex? I'm sure they'd be only too willing to help!

End Of Line

I have a vague recollection that in alarm systems this CAN refer to an End Of Line unit, some kind of terminator --- it would make sense for your unit to be abelt o cope with various different types of these, and a 'dual' one certainly does exist.

However, I do not know if this is what it stands for in your particular context!

Good luck!

In the light of my research, both on your company's products and alarm systems in general, I would now increase my confidence level to 4½!
