Connecting PCS PW513 X10 to UPB Bridge to Alarm Panel

I connected the Pulseworx PW513 to my Honeywell Vista 20P alarm panel on the 8 Pin connector, as described in the Honeywell Documentation; however, when I power on the system, my Keypad indicates AC Loss.
 
I went into the program mode, *27 and set the house code to 0(A) and then into *79 and set the Output # 01 to Type 2 for Powerline Carrier device and Unit No. to 01.
 
Anyone have a clue as to why this "AC Loss" is happening?  
 
I still have my original transformer plugged into the Alarm Panel...I'm assuming that I don't have to change that to the X10 transformer since the panel is not sending the X10 signal back to that transformer, but to the PW513 instead?
 
Thanks in advance for any help with this :)

Update: The Installation Manual for the Alarm Panel shows a picture of how to wire a PCS04(which should be the same as the PW513) and the image shows a phone cord and then indicates Pin 1 Black, 2 Red, 3 Green, 4 Yellow...turns out that when I plug the module phone cord into the PW513, the yellow wire on the phone cord is connected to the Pine 1 and the Black wire of the phone cord is connected to Pin 4 - opposite of the diagram in the installation manual - I guess the phone cord that I used was not the same as the standard?  So, I swapped out the connections for the Black and Yellow and the AC Loss error is gone :)  Now, I just have to figure out how to program the alarm panel so that when the panel is Armed and Disarmed it sends an X10 signal that the Upstart software can interpret and turn on a light...
