Re: New House Alarm - Am I locked out?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Turn the Chime mode on (Code+Chime) then stand at the keypad with all
doors/windows closed and have someone walk around and open doors/windows one
at a time and make a list of what zone that opening shows on the keypad. On
FA stuff Chime doesn't work for Interior devices (pirs) so you just have to
watch which zone shows up when someone walks through each motion detector.

Then make up a list of zones.

(you can do it without the chime, but it helps the "walker" know when to
move on to the next opening...saves yelling)
