Hello Frank,
Great systems... Updatable, configurable...
even repairable...
832 is a "mature" system...
and the codes you get are not particularly helpful
if you don't have the ALARMS mapped.
There should be a map... (don't worry)
"-Lid" most likely is
NOT the device you
are working on... Your ALARM condition
is
FIRST on the warning list...
If you were given INSTALL notes with your system
you can use those... (instruction at bottom).
A simple area motion detector might
also need a battery...
GLASS BREAK, SMOKE, HEAT, WATER... hard wired window devices...
(I'm guessing)... but
FOR A FACT any device could
be mounted several ways... but control boxes
(at least in
MY DAY had
door & panel "TAMPERS")).
You obviously have a
control panel
(you are getting system status "remarks)
It has been a long time since I have been around a DSC 832.
They are quite an excellent... and
versatile security platform.
Lots of options and opportunities.
FIRST thing you will want to do is to inventory the system
to determine how many and what you are "
monitoring..."

Do look at this PDF ... (notice).
There are several manuals available
but before anyone can SERIOUSLY help you...
you need to walk the system and find all your devices.
Hope this helps
