For ease of reference please use the chart provided as this will enable quick reference when programming the zone in the Display Unit PLEASE NOTE: You must use a different name for each zone, you can then change that name but you MUST use a different name each time you program a zone. Think of it as each zone has a memory look up position and in the memory position is a name that the zone uses.
