Re: EOLR Depate

["Jim Rojas" <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ademco and a few others make contacts that give you full access to the reed
switch. They are small enough to look nice in residential apps, and placing
the EOL inside it is a breeze. This will eliminate buring the EOL. Though
using contacts with built in EOL's is nice, but I think most of us have
enough stuff in their trucks as it is... :)
