A few years ago but I used to be kept busy with faults on Pub intruder alarms, if not due to rodents then it was damage to the surface run cable to a PIR near the dartboard!
if your omitting the zone and it works fine check the cable continuity from said contact to alarm panel, if this is fine then a replacement contact is in need
