Re: Concord Express Siren Time-Out

Don't "Rip them out"; just put a jumper across that zone in the panel (may
need to be a resistor depending on the panel and how it was connected).
When you are petless, or going on vacation, you can easily snip the jumper
and restore function or just always arm the system in the "home" mode.
