I install Napco almost exclusively but mostly only from the 1632 on up
so. I've installed a couple of 816's but don't remember too much about
them ...... however ..... I've got a couple of ideas, but before I
take the time to explain them all, please tell me where are you
obtaining zones 9 through 12? Zone doubling, EZM module, keypad? Also,
where are the shock sensors mounted? Are they in a different area or
objects than the ones that don't give you any problems?
