What to do if my Honeywell VISTA-15P 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.
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 does 'Bell Failure' mean on my Honeywell VISTA-15P Security System?

What causes Honeywell VISTA-15P zone doubled zones to be in 'Check'?
If zone doubled zones are in 'Check' on your Honeywell Security System, it indicates a short on one of the zone circuits; if one is shorted, both are shorted. Check the wiring. Also, use only Normally Closed contacts for doubled zones. A Normally Open device will short both zones when activated.
What to do if my Honeywell VISTA-15P Security System wireless zone is in 'Check'?
If a wireless zone on your Honeywell Security System is in 'Check', it could be due to a 'trouble' Zone Type, a tamper, or a missing check-in signal. If it's a missing check-in (indicated by E381), relocate the transmitter and/or receiver, or add a 5800RP to extend the range. If it's a tamper condition (E383), restore the cover or wall tamper of the transmitter and disarm the keypad twice.
What does 'Telco Fault' mean on my Honeywell Security System?
The 'Telco Fault' message on your Honeywell Security System, along with 'Check 94', indicates that the Telephone Line Fault Monitor is enabled in *92, but the panel isn't detecting at least 3Vdc on the phone line.
Why is my Honeywell VISTA-15P keypad not providing exit beeps when arming Away or Max?
If your Honeywell Security System keypad isn't providing exit beeps when arming in Away or Max mode, ensure that *37 'Audible Exit Warning' is enabled for exit beeps on all keypads. Also, 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.
