To address a Honeywell 6160 keypad on a VISTA-21iP system, you must configure the address on the keypad itself and then ensure that address is enabled in the control panel’s programming.
Step 1: Set the Keypad Address
Every keypad on a VISTA system must have a unique address between 16 and 23.
- Enter Addressing Mode: Within 60 seconds of powering up the keypad, press and hold the 1 and 3 keys simultaneously for about three seconds.
- Clear Current Address: The screen will display
CON ADDR = XX. Press 00 to clear the current address (usually the factory default of 31). - Assign New Address: Enter the desired 2-digit address (e.g., 16 for the primary keypad).
- Save and Exit: Press * to save the address and exit the menu.
Step 2: Enable the Address in Panel Programming
- Enter Programming: On your primary (already working) keypad, enter your Installer Code (default is 4112) + [8][0][0].
- Access Keypad Fields: Use the following fields to enable additional addresses:
- *190: For Address 17
- *191: For Address 18
- *192: For Address 19
- *193: For Address 20
- *194: For Address 21
- *195: For Address 22
- *196: For Address 23
- Configure Partition: After entering the field (e.g.,
*190), enter [1] to assign the keypad to Partition 1, followed by [0] for standard sound suppression (beeps for all events). - Exit Programming: Press *99 to save and exit.
Note: If you are using a 6160RF (with a built-in wireless receiver), you may also need to enable the receiver in the panel, typically at address 00.
