This zone type uses an alarm group to perform the arm/disarm functions.
Example: Latching keyswitch to arm or disarm areas.
Note: You need to program alarm groups (see Alarm groups, page 51).
32. Armed Zone to Event

33. 24Hr Alarm & Inhibit This zone type requires different wiring. The zone can have the following
states:
- Shorted generates an alarm
- Normal no alarm
