GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 5828 and 5828V are wireless, bidirectional, fixed-word, keypads that may be used in conjunction with LYNX and VISTA series residential control panels. VISTA
systems require use of either a 5883 Transceiver (micro P/N WAK5119-X, where X = 3 or higher), 6150RF Keypad/ Transceiver (PC board P/N SA6150RFAS-T3 or higher), or
6160RF Keypad/Transceiver. The 5828/5828V keypads are not compatible with commercial control panels that have three-digit zone numbers (e.g., VISTA128).
The 5828/5828V cannot be used as the primary system keypad, and may not be used to program or test any security system. All systems require a hardwired
keypad (or Compass Downloader) to do so. Once programmed, the 5828/5828V can be used to initiate all common functions of a fixed English keypad.
Operation (See NOTE below)
- Battery-Powered Operation: When powered by battery, the keypad activates when any key is pressed. When the [Q] key is pressed, the keypad sends a system status request, and displays and/or annunciates the present status transmitted by the system.
- AC-Powered Operation: When powered by AC, the keypad remains active at all times. Any change in system status will cause the display to automatically turn on (if blank) and display/annunciate the new status.
If AC power is lost, the keypad will revert to battery-powered operation until AC power is restored and a new status request is made ([Q] key).
NOTE: Whether the unit is powered by battery or AC, the 5828/5828V may take up to 5 seconds to display and/or annunciate the new status after pressing the [*] key.
PROGRAMMING
The following two items must be programmed in the keypad by the installer.
- House ID Code (Step 1 in Installer Programming mode)*
- System Type (Step 2 in Installer Programming mode)
The same House ID Code must also be programmed in the control panel. Programming a different House ID will disable communication.
Installer Programming
Enter the program mode by pressing the [1] and [3] keys simultaneously for five (5) seconds. The display alternately flashes “00” and two dashes (–).
NOTES:
Entering a value other than one specified in the following steps may cause unpredictable results. This keypad exits programming mode 15 seconds after the last key is pressed. Pressing any key will extend the 15-second active time. If the unit times out before you have pressed the star (*) key to save a programmed value, you will need to re-enter the Programming mode and reprogram the option.
Exiting Programming Mode
You can exit programming mode by pressing the [*] key whenever the small 00 and (- -) are alternately displayed.
