    I was going to say check the internal fuses but the Astec doesn't have any to replace.
    Try swapping over to a different pair of wires to eliminate a fault with the wiring. Failing that put a meter across the terminals to see if you get some sort of reading, not sure what reading you will get as the voltage and data are sent down the same pair.
    Last thing would be to replace the keypad. I might have one or two knocking around that you could borrow to check

    You can eliminate the wiring and the keypad in one go by disconnecting the keypad bringing it to the panel & wire it in directly on a short lenght of cable. If there are anyother keypads connected disconnect these.
    Also try powering the system down (disconnect mains & battery) & power up again
