When the system is used in 2-state configuration, inputs can only report sealed and unsealed states. This prohibits the use of input types that need to detect short or open states. See the Challenger10 Programming Manual for details. Special zone input types Zone inputs programmed as area control type inputs can also be used to turn areas on and off (as opposed to entering a PIN on a keypad).
