an alarm on the console LED display).
Q - I have
more than 16 areas in my house to monitor. Do I have to buy 2
systems?

30x30'. In addition each Door/Window (d/w) Sensor can monitor more
than one opening by adding the magnetic contact sets that wire into
the d/w sensor. Each d/w sensor can have 4-5 magnetic contacts wired
into it.
