Well maybe I'm getting the wrong end of the stick entirely - or maybe I'm just

confused (more likely)

With the model I have (Optima XM6) I can program it to get access through my

lounge and kitchen (using a timers) to the panel, however I cannot change the

entry/exit point without some re-wiring. Correct....?

Sorry , too much info ,these were just examples to explain the zone functions of your particular panel.

zone 1 : front door (timed)

zone 2 : lounge / diner (intermeadiate)

zone 3 : back door (immeadiate)

you could put the front and back door on the same circuit (zone 1) but zone 2 is the only zone you may walk through to get to the panel without causing an alarm.

There are no part sets on the XM6 only a omit function. To get into engineers mode you have to press PROG then user code followed by PROG engineers code.

Zone 1 is Entry/Exit

Zone 2 is a walkthrough(time inhibited)

Zone 3 - 6 are immediate

The only programming available is change Entry time/Exit time and Bell time.
