Re: Keypad says "check"- can't figure out what's wrong

Check usually means you don't have the cover on the right way.

To clear the check, press your code + off twice.

It seems to me you aren't sure what zone 13 really is. I would take a
moment and make a list of each zone. Pop the cover off each sensor one
at a time to confirm your zone list.
