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).
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).
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 (–).


Exiting Programming Mode
You can exit programming mode by pressing the [*] key whenever the small 00 and (- -) are alternately displayed.
