Is there an option to set the zone to "immediate?" To prevent falsing
the zone may be looking for the closure to last longer than just a
button push.  If you need a sustained press to activate it you could use
a 555 timer circuit (about $10). The button press would trigger the
timer to close a relay for as long as you need to fault the zone.
