I need help troubleshooting a Check 100 error. Here's the story:
My inherited alarm system came with no documentation. I believe it's a Vista 15, and I now know that it has a 6150RF keypad.
Not realizing the keypad was an RF keypad, I replaced it with a 6160. Of course, none of my zones worked after that. So with an occasional glance at the manuals I found online, I started ignorantly toying with some of the settings.
Truthfully, I have no idea what I did to what settings, but when I discovered that all my zones were wireless, and that they depended on the 6150RF to communicate with the panel, I switched the keypads back.
At first, the system still didn't work. I defaulted the keypad and changed its address to 16, and now it works fine (i.e., the alarm responds to all of the wireless zones), but it constantly throws a check 100 error.
Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? I've tried different combinations of *22 and *28 values with no luck.

Nevermind. Disabling Keypad 2 did the trick.
