I have a number of long range, external PIR's that handle external lighting and 'arriving home' scenarios.

When installing the PIRs, I inadvertently shorted the power supply which froze up the main Comfort board.  I needed to remove all power to the board to get it functional again.

My concern is that some of the PIRs are readily accessible and do not have any tamper mechanisms meaning that the system is potentially vulnerable.

Can someone please help me undrestand how Comfort should be responding to a power short? 
Will it be different if the system is armed or not? 

My workaround is to drive these PIR's off a separate 12V power supply but this doesn't lessen my concerns for the system vulnerability.
