hi all, this is a bit of a punt!

i have a basic alarm system with the bog standard 9651 keypad. I'm going on holiday tomorrow and i want omit a sensor or create a new zone. i basically have a mouse that visits during the night and i haven't been successful in catching or killing it. it will definitely set off the alarm when im not here. my alarm guy is not responding to my calls, so i thought i might be lucky here.

thanks

thanks, just did a test and seemed to be ok. i jumped up and down in front of it.

when my alarm guy gets in touch i will ask him to create some more zones

You don't need "more zones" each device should already be on its own zone/circuit. You might ask him to make all circuits (except final exit) as omit permit.
