zone went into alarm.
SIA Format - Level 2 (Hard Coded)
The SIA communication format used in this product follows
the level 2 specifications of the SIA Digital Communication
Standard - October 1997. This format sends the account
code along with its data transmission. The transmission
appears similar to the following at the receiver:

N = New Event
ri1 = Partition /Area Identifier
BA = Burglary Alarm
01 = Zone 1
A system event uses the Area Identifier ri00.
