To release sensors/dry contacts:
When the total of managed sensors/dry contacts reaches the maximum (32), you cannot manage additional ones. The only
way to manage any sensor/dry contact is to release or replace any managed ones. To replace a managed sensor/dry
contact, see
(on page 66). To release them, follow this procedure.
