New installation. Help needed.

OK, here's my setup. I posted here back in Feb when I was buying my new Vista 20P setup. I started installing it today. Got the whole thing in and hooked up. I have a 6160 keypad and a 6150 by the back door. Got both of them addressed and working.

I have the 2-wire smoke det on zone 1

1 motion detector on zone 2 with a resistor across it at the detector terminals 1 motion det on zone 3 same setup Front door mag switch on zone 4 with the resistor in the panel Back door mag switch on zone 5 with the resistor in the panel Window switch on zone 6, resistor in panel garage door switch on zone 7, resistor in panel zone 8 not being used, has a resistor in the panel

The whole thing powers up, but I get a fault 2, fault 3, fault 4 and fault 6 in the screen on the 6160. I can't figure why. The motion detector's LEDs light up when I walk thru the room. The smoke detector's green light is flashing every 5 seconds.

The 6150 is displaying 02, 03, 04, 06, FC and "not ready"

I have 2 wave2s connected, one in the garage and one in the hall. Both work fine.

I put the resistor across the 2 wires in the smoke detector. Is that where it goes? The instructions are vague, look like they want me to run 2 smoke detectors, but I only have 1.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm about ready to get hooked up with a monitoring company now.

Sounds like your smoke is wired ok, but the resistors need to go in series with the devices on burg zones, not in parallel.

OK! I put them in series and all is well now except that it goes off instantly no matter how I activate it. I put in my code and "stay" and as soon as I step into the hall the motion detector sees me and the siren starts screaming.

sounds like your zones are set for instant instead of interior. you will need a 6160 keypad to reprogram them to interior or interior delay zone type.

OK, I have now programmed the zones. But when I arm it in "Away", the siren gives a 1-second shriek. How can I get it to not do that and just beep the keypad??? I tried setting *37 to zero, but it still does it.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated.
