After deciphering your message I think the problem you've got is that the panel has defaulted. Do you have any manuals for the control panel ? Sounds like it needs to be reprogrammed. Do you have anything connected to zones 7 and 8 ? If so what ?

I agree, you will need to reprogram the system and for that you will need a manual or an engineer. Id advise an engineer as they can also fix what caused it in the first place

You may be able to get a manual off the internet but my point is unless you know what your doing it's not much use. To be fair the panel may be f***ed anyway they don't have much of a rep for reliability.
