RHC: Sometimes it's astounding what a panel will take ! I had a client
that told me she had a water leak that ran down the wall and shorted
out her alarm panel. When I got there, I confirmed it had been totally
flooded. I didn't think that anything would survive that drenching,
but once the panel dried out, it worked perfectly. I kept an eye on it
for awhile, but it's been running for a year since that happened and
faithfully sends in it's test signals. Yet other times even a mild
surge over the phone lines will short the panel dialers hopelessly
destroying the board !!

Go figure !!
