Yes.

Connect in parallel so either one triggers an alarm.

Ok thank you, would the resistor in between the gray and yellow terminals in the first photo screw this up?

This looks like as mention J1939 or EOL. With CAN/J1939 dry contacts won’t work other than the fact that it will appear as a “bus off” error causing comms to “fail” on every device connected to it. If it’s only the generator this may not be a bad thing. All serial protocols (Modbus, CAN, LON) are jammed by a dead short.

It could be EOL. In this case the alarm panel is looking for a certain resistance (voltage drop). A “short” indicates alarm. An open indicates broken wire. This is a common fire alarm wiring scheme with smoke detectors but I haven’t seen it in gensets.

I highly doubt it is using NC contacts like an E-Stop because of the resistor.
