It won't work.  A guy that's now a customer of mine already tried it.
Screwed up his system big time (he didn't "break it", but we had to rewire
it and reprogram the thing).  You can program other zones as "fire", but
only for four wire smokes and contact devices.  Two wire smokes must be
terminated to zone one.
