No problem - hope they can point you in the right direction.
If not, I have another idea that may work. You would need to spend a few bucks and purchase a small relay.
let me know how it goes.

I think I'm thinking the same as you. I have a normally closed circuit zone system with no termination resistors. Thus I need to change the essentially normally open CE3 circuit to normally closed. I purchased a $4.50 relay (DPDT-2A-12V, PN:R40-11D2-12, MFG:NTE = 2 form C relays off of one coil) at Frys. I have attached a hand drawn circuit diagram. Now I just need to find time to do it. Comments welcome.

There you go - a few bucks and a bit of time.
Schematic looks good. Let me know how it goes when you fire it up.

Hooked it up yesterday. It works great. A little different than I expected. A long button press arms with exit delay. A quick button press arms then almost instantly toggles the zone. System ends exit delay in about 8 seconds. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks for your help!
