Adding a Second Push-button Keypad to a VISTA-20P

[@MoodAmbience23]

I have a 6160RF in address 16 and want to add a 6150RF on my master bedroom on address 17. Do I need to disable the receiver on the 6150RF while addressing it? Also, will I need to add the key fob on zone 49, 50, 51, and 52 again on the 6150RF panel? Thanks.

Yes, you need to disable the receiver in the 6150rf, as your 10p only does 1 receiver as discussed. You will not need to redo any wireless zones currently working on the panel with the 6160rf.

I need to add a second keypad to my vista system several hundred feet away. There is an existing buried electric wire I can use, but it is only two conductor. Can I hook up this second keypad using these two wires for data, with a separate 12 volt power source at the new keypad location?

[@joshuagriffin2807]

If its standard electrical wire the wire may be to big if not it would work you would have to have a common ground back to the panel

Can you add 2 Rf keypads to the system with large homes ??

No. For the vista series only 1 RF keypad or transmitter can be used.

Now when I programmed my keypad.. the armed and disarmed chime doesn't work

Check the programming location for the device address you used (*190 = Address 17, *191 = Address 18, and so on). The 2nd digit in that programming field can be used to suppress certain sounds. If you want your keypad to make all the normal sounds, the 2nd digit in that field should be a 0. So, for example, if you're using address 17, when you press #190, you should see a 01 (for partition 1) and then a 00 (for no sound suppression). If you see anything in that second entry other than 00, then you need to press *190 and enter 1 0.
