Narrative: A small jet departed from the SAN area and was handed off from Sector 9. Initially I climbed him to his requested altitude of FL410 and gave him direct GBN. I requested the route from ZAB landing GYR which is in the PHX area so I knew I would have to descend him back to FL250 by their border; but wanted to make sure the route was OK. I restricted his altitude to FL370 to be able to descend. Once he was clear of traffic I gave him a crossing restriction of FL250. I am always very aware of the restricted areas and even make the altitudes larger print on the ones that are a potential problem. I saw all of the R2306/08 and R2307 were 000B230 on my scope. So I knew I was OK to go direct. Same with an air carrier flight at FL310 behind the small jet. Once the small jet was inside R2307 ZAB called me and said they showed it hot up to FL320. I looked at the scope and still saw 000B230. I told them we show it cold but I turned the small jet twenty degrees right to get him out of it and also the air carrier behind him. Only at the point when the small jet was out of R2307 did I see 000B320. I was positive they just changed it at that moment. Once I got off position I asked the controller I relieved if it truly said 000B320 and he said yes. Somehow I transposed the numbers which I have never done before. I honestly think it's a problem to have the altitudes show on the scope when they are only hot in low altitude; which R2306/08 were. I may not have missed it if R2307 was the only one showing numbers. Also I think I'm very fatigued and extremely stressed right now; so I believe that played a role in my mistake. The altitudes in the restricted areas at SEC 31 can be very confusing. I don't think that if they are hot 000B230 they should show at all in high altitude. I honestly don't think this situation would have happened if there was no altitude on all the surrounding restricted areas 2306/08 showing 000B230 that I would have confused the two. If 2306/08 had nothing there (since they were only hot in low altitude) and R2307 was the only label there because it was hot in high altitude. I don't think I would have confused the two and would have remained clear of it. I recommend that when the restricted areas are hot only in low altitude that they don't show any numbers on the high altitude scope.




Synopsis: Reporter may have transposed numbers on Restricted Area display causing him to think the Restricted Area was cold at altitude he had aircraft going through.
