I  am very new to the alarms - I am familiar with the hex / dec system
but just wasnt seeing the big picture i figured it would have been
spelled out more in the manual so I am very grateful for the
information.
question If using the manuals ie. report code of 03C   03=Perimeter
what would the C signify?  I'm a junior installer and dont do any
installing for lack of knowledge.
