I'm not familiar with the AV6000 but it could be the same problems as
in the other thread.

It's just a theory but .....It could be that your standby battery is
down to Ziltch. The reason it goes to central during an AC failure is
that the siren isn't blowing. When you cause an alarm, the siren draws
so much power and if the battery is really REALLY low,  the
transformer output is being consumed by the battery (because a really
low battery is almost a dead short)and there's nothing left for the
panel .....

Ultimately, when the siren tries to blow it draws so much that the
transformer can't supply the power to the panel and the panel just
resets. As soon as the panel resets, the siren turns off and now the
transformer has enough capacity to run the panel again.

Try changing the standby battery.
