How to fix a Honeywell Security System keypad that is locking up after 3-4 button presses?
- A
  Alexis CarrAug 26, 2025
  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.

Why is my Honeywell VISTA-15P chime not working?
- A
  anthony38Aug 28, 2025
  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.

How to fix Honeywell Security System 4-wire smokes that will not reset?
- N
  Nicholas WardAug 30, 2025
  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.

Why is my Honeywell VISTA-15P Security System keypad blank?
- E
  ericrhodesAug 23, 2025
  A blank keypad on your Honeywell Security System may be due to several reasons. First, verify the power and connections to the keypad, ensuring a voltage of 12-13Vdc. Also, check the keypad address, which should be between 16-23, and if it's 17-23, confirm it's enabled in programming fields *190-*196. If the keypad uses a separate power supply, establish a common ground wire between the power supply negative and the panel's auxiliary power negative, located at terminal 4.

What does the 'Check 100' error mean for my Honeywell VISTA-15P Security System wireless receiver?
- R
  Randy WrightSep 1, 2025
  The 'Check 100' error on your Honeywell Security System indicates a problem with the wireless receiver. This can be caused by a jam condition if the 'RF Jam' option is not enabled in *22. Verify that only one receiver is connected to the panel. If the receiver has lost ECP communication, check that the dip switches are correctly configured. If there is no receiver, remove any zone with a serial number or enter all 0’s in the *24 House ID location in programming.

What does 'Telco Fault' mean on my Honeywell Security System?
- C
  Caitlin AcostaSep 2, 2025
  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.
