You will need the instruction/engineer books to get this information. Also check that the "internal alarm loop" is a powered supply type and not a speaker output, again check the books. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!
