Re: Natural gas detectors and Co detectors

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I HATE zone doubling.

I just took over a 20P that was zone doubled and the orig installing co.
obviously didn't understand it because all the doubled zone descriptions
were flipped...so they'd have a problem on zone 2 and tell t he homeowner to
check the door...when it really was the glassbreak in the bathroom.
Sheesh..if you're gonna do that crap you oughta at least understand it.
