Re: Paradox Esprit fails to activate alarm siren in 3 Zones

["Joe H" <Joe@xxxxxxxx>]

I tested 2 of the 3 zones about 12 months ago and they activated the
alarm properly. I don't think there's much point in setting up
zones and sensors for these zones only to program them
to be always silent. We also have a bedside keypad
which can generate a panic alarm.
