Alarm system: DSC 832 with PC 5501Z keyboard and PC5132-433 wirelesss receiver. The manual for the receiver says it will support 32 zones. Right now I have 8 wireless zones up and running and I want to add some more (4 more). The famous DSC manual is not too clear to me on how to do this. The manual (section 5.27) says "Any number of zones up to 32 can be programmed as wireless, adding wireless devices to the panel is done by simply selecting the zone number and entering the 6-digit ESN". Do I just start programmming section 002 and define zones 8-9-10-11-12, etc? Thanks, Steve

My family just moved into a 10-year-old home north of Atlanta. There are hard-wired smoke detectors on the first and second floors, with the first floor unit between the kitchen and garage. On Sunday night we turned on the oven to cook dinner, and within minutes, the smoke alarm near the kitchen was sounding. We were able to turn it off by waving a towel under it, but it would continue within a minute of stopping that activity. Needless to say, we're concerned that we'll be tripping that alarm every time we cook (especially with the holidays looming). :wall: First, I'm questioning the logic of placing a smoke detector so close to the kitchen. Second, what should we do? :confused: The things that come to my mind are: 1) Disconnect the detector. I don't think this is the safest thing for my family, though. 2) Is there a way to reduce a smoke detector's senstivity? 3) Should I replace it with a different kind of alarm (maybe one that detects heat instead)? Where can I buy something like that? Thanks... -Jack
