I installed a Vista 20P with two keypads - a 6150RF Fixed and 6160 Alpha. The keypads are mounted at two entry points and we are having trouble hearing the chime from accross the house when the doors are opened by the kids. Is there a way to either increase the volume of the chime or add internal speakers throughout the house to amplify the chime?

I have added external chimes from ATW and wired them to the on board relay to trigger on a zone fault. Is pretty simple and works great.

Can you please share with me how to hook this up and configure the system using the "on board" relay and an external chime? I am a beginner and don't understand how to make this work. Thanks!
