Warning: Stop using phone line voltage on zone expanders
Saw three jobs last month where someone ran 12 volts through a BX-2000 expander. Fried the board every time. I know the manual says 5 volts but the terminals look the same. Anyone else run into this or am I the only one seeing it?

Rough break @kaip11! Definitely been there myself with a capacitor before.
