This was an idiot salesman.

For the focus panel they call 'em sims.

We're seeing a lot of v-128 panels lately.  Since the focus doesn't have
an isolator mod they're using the 128 on all hybrid installs.

Personally I prefer to see the burg and fire on separate panels - I done
a few places where I put in both a burg panel and a fire panel.  But
that's probably 'cause I prefer fire to burg and can work the fire while
supervising the burg part.
