Uhhh!

I have no idea what that is.

But, usually a (good) control panel has some kind of output that can
be tapped when the panel arms. Lesser panels usually don't. Once
obtaining an output voltage upon arming, you can attach a relay whose
output can trigger an X10 module that will send a signal via the
110VAC wiring in your house, to another X10 module that your lamp in
plugged into. Some of the better panels are X10 compatable and you
just need to get the manufacturers module to send a signal to other
X10 modules ........... in other words you don't need to futz around
with attaching a relay to some point  or logic output terminal on the
printed circuit board.
