Re: Problems with an Ademco Vista-15... System won't arm, and it keeps counting?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never seen a Vista 15 do any kind of "counting".

First I'd:
Remove the main system battery
Unplug the transformer and let it sit for a minute, then plug transformer
back in and reconnect the battery.
