Honeywell Security 6160 Ademco Alpha Display Keypad

Easy to install. Good price. Excellent upgrade to compliment a Honeywell Vista 20p panel. Makes upgrading/programming so much easier being able to use an alphanumeric keypad. Really like the large, easy to read LCD display. More things in life should be this simple and efficient.

works great

Works as expected. Arrived in new condition, packed well, delivered as expected.

Clear instructions, easy installation. Check the address of the unit your replacing first and save yourself a little bit of time.

Need to replace a failing Ademco (non-RF) keypad, then look no further. The 6160 is considered the best keypad available by professional installers. I’m just a DYI’er. 1. At the failing keypad with the system on, press and hold 1 and 3 buttons for 3 seconds and record location address. 2. Next, power down your system at the panel by unplugging the wall transformer and removing the wire from red terminal on all backup batteries. 3. Remove old keypad from mounting bracket (look on underside for tabs to depress) by lifting up from the bottom. 4. Take a pic of the wiring arrangement. Remove old mounting bracket and replace with the 6160 mounting bracket. 5. Attach wires to terminals indicated with using a small Phillips-head screwdriver (refer to your pic) and snap keypad onto the bracket. 6. Now back to your panel and reattach the battery wires and plug in the transformer. 7. Within 90 seconds of doing this, follow instructions on back of the 6160 box to change the preset location address of the keypad to the one you recorded earlier. Panel will register new keypad and reboot in a handful of seconds. Voila! Youre done. Should take under 10 min if slow and methodical.

The perfect keypad for your system, This is the one you need to get it programing and make changes that will personalize your system !!

Great to program system yourself

Opened up hooked wires up and it didnt work..last one i took off did. Must be yet more garbage.. Also the wire inidicators ( pos and neg etc) are written so small you need a magnifying glass. Why was this done? Well suck on my return honeywell and take it out of person who designed that mini print and thought it was ok. Incompetance

I installed it myself about 3 weeks ago and it seems to work well so far. It was my first time to do it. The unit did not come with a manual, but I found it online. I bought this model to replace my 15 year-old Honeywell keypad (about to die). A brand new Honeywell keypad, that has never communicated with a control panel before, can be checked or re-addressed at any time by holding down the [1] and [3] keys. Make sure you check your old keypad address by holding down the [1] and [3] keys before replacing it. After installing a new unit, holding down the [1] and [3] keys at the same time, the existing address pops up, which by default will be (31), press [0] [0], youll see the address change to 00, then press your intended address, for example [1] [5]. Youll see the address change to 15, then press *.

Works as advertised. Shipped on time.
