Re: Casement Windows

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the resistor goes missing doesn't matter if there's one screen or 10 on
the loop.

| That would be good if there was only one casement window on each zone

| a few windows in the room) on a zone. And the "messing with the wires"
| I'm talking about are not the wires imbeded in the screen, I'm talking
| about the wires going to the plug or whatever, that connects to the
| screen. I once had a system bypassed by someone doing this to the
| screened window in the in the master bath room. Thankfully I had a
