Re: Alarm panel with defined part setting

["Jim Franklin" <jimf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had this on a previous house, where the Garage
(workshop/office) was
detached.

The alarm I used was an ADE Ultimate, it had (unlimited) zones that could
be
set to "hi security" I was believe the term they used. Generally
used where
a shop could be opened up and unarmed, but the storerooms could be left
secure. A seperate code was required to unarm the secure section.

A few years back ADE were bought out by Chloride - they were based in
Knowsley Liverpool UK

I could be worse, I was offered a job there in the early 90's as the
electronics development manager - anything could have happened.
