I would only use zones 7 & 8.  Never used Zone 9 and right now I can't
remember why.... But we never do.  (perhaps there is no reason not to...)

It is possible that the company isn't familiar with Ademco or First
Alert and don't have programming capability but I sort of doubt that.

Its a decent panel that works well.  The last one I installed was about
a year and a half ago.  It will work with all current ademco expanders
in the event you do run out of zones or need to add wireless.
Only thing I'm not sure about is the FA-700 keypad...
