I _think_ that the SL 150 is a modified version of the Ademco Vista 20se. Look in the FAQ for this topic and some of the posts discussing that system, and you should be able to extract the installer code and set a new master code.

From the operation section of the Vista 20se (the base model that this system is a modification of):

"A display of “CHECK” and 09 indicates that communication between control and a zone expander or wireless receiver is interrupted. Check the wiring and DIP switch settings on the units."

If you don't have any wireless devices, this code will show if programming location 22 has anything other than a 0 programmed.
