The P9600 will do the same thing.  If you call, I'll be happy to explain in
detail how to set it up.  Also, if the master code is still in the panel
(printed label on the mnetal cover which protects the CMOS chip), you can use
Napco's Quickloader program to test, diagnose and service it.  The software is
a free download.  If you need help using it, I'd be happy to teach you.  It
takes about 30 minutes to program a large system from top to bottom.

Napco can be programmed to arm using a single keypress.  If no door is opened,
the system will arm in "stay" mode (no motion detection).  If a door is opened
during the exit delay, the system arms normally.

She can do it with one keypress if she likes.

They can be mounted anywhere along the databus.  Precisely where varies from
installer to installer and from one premises to the next.  There's a way to
make the EZM-8 modules beep so you can locate them.
