There aretwo kinds of inputs: supervised and unsupervised. All switches can be in oneof two states: active or inactive. An input reports the state of the switch.A supervised input reports on the status of the wiring between the controllerand the switch. If that wiring is cut, the system reports an open circuit. Ifsomeone tries to jumper across the wiring (prevent the device from1–4 C•CURE 800/8000 Hardware Configuration Guide
