❑Special Panel Zone Entries - Certain specialized Panel Zones must exist for each Communicator Format to identify special circumstances.

a)It shall immediately and automatically display a message on the operator terminal; and
b)The message shall indicate"runaway" system and identify the details of the alarm system such as type of signal, account number, location, contact person, and similar information.
