That system is so old I "cut my teeth" on it in 1989.   It does not meet
SIA requirements, it does not report in contact ID format, and I would
never trust it for a life-safety device (sorta, not technically) as
important as a pool monitor.

Please replace the panel.  Your sensors will work with the new panel, and
make damn sure whoever tests the system checks every single "point"
(device) in the system.  If it's also being used to monitor smoke
detectors, they MUST be replaced if they are the originals.
