Just to be clear, CP-01 is not a UL standard.  It's a SIA standard.  There should also be a UL sticker on the panels.

Following is the text of CP-01 paragraph 4.3.2,
which deals with swinger shutdown:

"A programmable swinger shutdown shall be
required for each non-fire zone, such that one
or two trip shall shut down the zone. The zone
shall be restored by a manual reset or may
be reset automatically after forty eight (48)
hours with no trips on any zones. The default
setting for this option shall be one trip for
swinger shutdown."

I agree that a single trip should not shut down
a zone.  I always used 3 trips for shutdown,
although with modern equipment swingers are
rare if you're careful.

This "feature" is more onerous than some of
the others since it's required on all non-fire zones.

NOTE: Zones disabled by swinger shutdown shall not transmit restoral signals until they are returned to service .
NOTE: A Swinger Trouble code may be transmitted upon the occurrence of additional trips on the zone.
NOTE: Swinger shutdown may be disabled on any non-fire zone that does not require police response.
