Yep, Zones 1-6 are the hardwired zones and Zone 9 is the 1st wireless zone (bedroom window) courtesy of the 6150RF keypad receiver. Now you know which sensor is the problem!

Sorry, I was getting my sensors mixed up. The 5800 mini is, indeed a stick-on. The 5800 micra is the recessed one. Luckily, they don't have a 5800 micro or a 5800 mega! ;)

The current proms (v10.23) are pretty cheap - $20-$30. I don't think you'll find a firmware file to flash.
