ADEMCO 6128RF Installation Instructions Manual

General Information

The 6128RF Keypad/Transceiver is a combination unit. It replaces a 6128 Fixed Addressable Keypad, 5881/5882M RF
Receiver, and a 5800TM Transmitter Module. It also contains a normally-open relay output. The 6128RF may be used
on any QED or hardwired only control panel that supports the 6128 Keypad (i.e., VISTA-10SE, VISTA-20SE, VISTA-40,
VISTA-50P, 4110DL, 4110XM, 4140XMP, Vista-20HWSE).

Wireless Setup Considerations

There are 3 major elements involved in setting up the 6128RF. They are:
1. Wireless Keys (may be used as either System keys or Local keys).
2. RF Receiver (may be used as either a System receiver or a Local receiver).
3. House ID (programmed to use either the System's House ID or the 6128RF's House ID).
Understanding how these 3 elements are programmed is important for using the 6128RF. An application guide
following the explanations outlines the programming of each element for various installations.
1. Wireless Keys:
•
These are button-type transmitters (i.e., 5804).
•
They may be set up as System keys or Local
keys.
•
System keys are enrolled into the QED
supported control panel.
•
Local keys are enrolled directly into the
6128RF and are not supervised for low battery
conditions.
•
Local keys DO NOT occupy any zones
supported by the control panel.
2. RF Receiver:
•
The built-in 5881M/5882M Receiver may be
used on a QED supported control as either a
System receiver or a Local receiver.
•
A System receiver
transmitters programmed into the control
panel to the control panel.
•
A System receiver passes signals from RF
keypads to the control panel as regular 5800
signal data.
•
A Local receiver passes signals from RF
keypads to the control as console key data (as
though keys were pressed on a hardwired
keypad).
•
When used as a System receiver, it supports a
maximum of 16 transmitters.
•
The receiver and wireless keys have a nominal
range of 200'.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For use with QED and hardwired control panels ONLY!
passes signals
•
The 6128RF is shipped with default settings
for the functions of the wireless keys. See the
Programming Local Wireless Keys section for
the default settings.
Enrolling the keys directly into the 6128RF would
be necessary only in the following circumstances:
•
When using more than the maximum number
of transmitters supported by the control panel.
•
When used on a hardwired control panel.
In all other cases, use wireless keys as System keys
(enroll them into the QED supported control panel).
Programming the receiver as Local would be
necessary only in the following circumstances:
•
When using more
from transmitters AND the number of receivers
supported by the control panel.
•
When using multiple wireless keypads to
control (arm/disarm, etc.) different partitions.
•
When used on a hardwired control panel.
NOTES:
a) When used as a System receiver, do not exceed
the number of receivers the control panel
supports.
b) When used as a System receiver, wireless keys
may still be used as Local keys.
