Is there a way to get 12VDC from the mainboard to feed another device?

I need 12VDC feed to a Visonic MCR-308 wireless interface.
Ideally I would like to not have a separate 12VDC transformer and battery to support this device. I thought of getting this current from the mainboard somewhere, but I can't find anything in the documentation.

Thanks,
Nino Torres

Almost all installations would take 12V from Comfort especially for PIRs, smoke detectors etc

See the topic Connecting Comfort - Quick Guide here http://www.comfortforums.com/forum16/3406.html

The Hookup diagram supplied with Comfort is below which shows the 12V terminals

What if you don't have any more Zones available?
I know I can buy more, but just to feed a device ... I don't want status on it, just feed it.
