Re: Combined Load on Vista 20P

[Crash Gordon® <NONE@xxxxxxxx>]

Especially with cats.

I usually test the heck out of it, then put that particular zone on test =
for a month - if we have a problem it will generate an audible, no =
dispatch and a service ticket for me  to followup on. No false alarm =
fines that way. If we get any other zone ... we'll dispatch normally. =
Inform the client of this and they'll love ya for it.
