Some company's have back up boards many do not. In my case A 5700 will
handle the30+ points till I get this one back
But how many company's would leave no protection ? good question
The lock out feature while your responsible for panel I will go for
that but then you have the duty to unlock it once your contract is up.
and how many will sit there and whine and cry and carry on like little
baby's there losing 1 account like its taking food out of there kids
mouth.
Way too much greed and unprofessional  behavior in life safety  these
days.
