A zone may reside in any combination of partitions. A zone that resides in more than one partition
becomes a common zone and is reported to its lowest partition number. A common zone is armed
only when all the partitions that it belongs to are armed. It is immediately disarmed when one of the
partitions it belongs to is disarmed.
The control panel can have a maximum of two on-board hardwired inputs, and a total of 48 zones
(wired and wireless together).
There are 30 pre-defined zone types. All zone types can be edited by changing their characteristics.
