Hmmm! you're right. I wouldn't use the C version. If you're going to
have a back up reporting device, and it only sends two signals, ( three
if you use the fault relay output)and someone cut the phone lines and
then invaded the house ....... the home owner presses the panic button
and is sends a burglary signal?

Nah!

For the small additional cost use the CZ version along with the 3008
relay box. It doesn't send every zone but breaks it up into back up
signals that have some meaning.
