the keypad needs addressed to 16 0r 17 on the key buss  push in 1 and
3 at same time see what address is many come defaulted at 31 . if
defaulted to 31 then you need to program it so it displays properly.
upon power up push  1 and 3 then  set address and push star.



Thanks but got that part done, I think. It is addressed as 17 and the vista
P is set so it sees it and I can operate system from this keypad. I have a
6160 addressed as 16. Problem is just the display.
