DSC 1555 won't arm
Just installed a DSC 1555 and the system will not arm. I have worked out the usual issues when installing an alarm that I usually have:
* I defaulted the panel, established the master code as well as a new user code.
* I set the zone definitions to match what I have (4 zones)
* I turned off the communicator (not monitored yet)
* I turned off the phone line voltage monitor
* I disabled the resistor requirement for the zones
* I reset the internal clock
I have a ready light and 'NO' system light. I can arm the system where the armed light apprears, BUT it does not arm! I can disarm, no problem. My
bell functions on test.
Anyone have any thoughts?
THANKS in advance!!

Thanks for responding...probably 30 minutes. I re-programmed the unit before I tried anything. One thing I forgot to state is I never get a zone fault if I open a door or a window. If i remove a zone from the panel, then it goes red, but not before. The ready light just shines green all the time. When I arm the system either by entering my user code or pressing a programmed key such as '1', the system arms, but really doesn't. I am perplexed Mr. Ron...

MrRon...i figured out my issue. i had two zones doubled up and as soon as i separated those and did some minor reprograming...bingo, everything works. i do appreciate you speedy response!
