Hi Robert,

Thanx for the info.

Last week I try to disconnect 1 wire from the main controller while
the system was in standby (but not arm). I suspect the wire was 1 of
the zones. I was surprised and stunned when the alarm sounded though
it is not arm. Is this normal ? The reason I did this was because I
wanted to pull out the trouble zone so that I can arm the system with
the rest of the zones working right. I plan to troubleshoot the
problematic zone later. Am I doing it right ?

Thanx
