I really couldn't say, the spec sheet just is that vague.  My board is 
only measuring the voltage drop across a 3.3K resistor.  They are being 
used for EOL Burg (security) Zones. 

The only thing I would suggest is to get in contact with the Field Rep 
for Philips and put the question to them.  They have to get you an 
answer of some kind, that is their job to support engineers designing 
with the hardware.
