WOW-   its been almost a year for this. =20

is this a monitored system?  did you install it?

if you were using the newer 1832-    you can set all the 4985's in a group =
of zones,   like zones 9-15,   then go into programming,  and have anytime =
ANY of those zones activate, they then trigger one of the two programmable =
outputs.

with the 5010,   theres not much to do
