Eine Melderlinie kann im einfachsten Fall aus einem Melder bestehen. Eine Line muss am Ende, sprich am letzten Melder, abgeschlossen sein. Der Abschluss dient der Überprüfung der Linie vom System. Das heißt, das System kann nur die Teilstrecke überprüfen, ausgehen vom System, bis zum Abschluss. Als Abschluss dient eine Z-Diode oder eine Zypressordiode mit einer bestimmten, vom System geforderten, Zehnerspannung. Die liegt zwischen 18 und 20 Volt.

termination/terminator and to terminate

All entries in the ProZ glossaries point to terminator/to terminate, and rightly so. I'd be rather concerned about Zehnerspannung and Zypressordiode. That's pretty pine-lich.
