If your 4-wire smokes are not resetting, ensure they are not connected to Zone 1, as Zone 1's power resets only for 2-wire smokes. Also, verify that the short on the zone is sustained at the time of the second disarm. You should also check the Relay or Trigger programming and wiring.
What does 'Alarm Cancelled' mean on my Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA?
The message 'Alarm Cancelled' on your Honeywell Security System indicates that an alarm occurred, but the system was disarmed before the signal could be sent to the central station.
Why is my Honeywell Security System chime not working?
If the chime feature isn't working on your Honeywell Security System, first ensure that it is enabled by entering a valid code followed by 9. When enabled, the word 'Chime' should appear on the keypad when the system is 'Ready to Arm.' Also, check if 'Chime by Zone' is enabled in *26, and if so, verify that the zones exist in the Zone List. Keypad sounds may be suppressed in the second digit of the keypad addressing fields *190 - *196. This can suppress Chime, Entry/Exit, and Arm/Disarm beeps from specific keypads.
What does 'AC Loss' mean on my Honeywell Security System?
If your Honeywell Security System displays 'AC Loss', it indicates that the system's AC power voltage has dropped below the threshold of 16.5VAC.
How to troubleshoot a 'Comm Fail' error on my Honeywell ADEMCO VISTA?
If your Honeywell Security System displays a 'Comm Fail' error, and you are not using a phone line, disable the dialer by removing the phone numbers from the panel. You can do this by entering *40*, *41*, and *42.
What does 'Lo Bat' mean on my Honeywell Security System?

How to fix a Honeywell Security System keypad that is locking up after 3-4 button presses?
If your Honeywell Security System keypad locks up after a few button presses, ensure that the keypad's address is unique and doesn't match any other keypad on the system, as address conflicts can cause lockups. Also, a shorted green wire can prevent commands from reaching the panel. If multiple devices are on the ECP, connect them one at a time to isolate the problematic wire run.
What to do if my Honeywell Security System keypads work fine when disarmed, but stop working when in alarm?
If your Honeywell Security System keypads function normally when disarmed but cease to work during an alarm, it could be due to excessive power draw from the panel's Auxiliary Power or the Bell Output. Ensure that the Auxiliary Power usage does not exceed 600mA and the Bell Output does not exceed 2 Amps. Another potential cause is a faulty or weak battery. Try disconnecting the battery to see if this resolves the problem.
