Alarm System Store Tech Video - Honeywell 6160 & 6150 Differences

Jon Boroughs, of Alarm System Store, enlightens you to the differences in the 6160 Alpha-Numeric and 6150 Fixed English Keypads. We get a lot of questions about how these two differ from one another and we thought we'd share those with you here. If you have any questions you can give our Tech Support Department a call at 888-811-0727 and choose phone menu option 2.

I recently started working for an alarm company and my supervisor gave me a 6160 to connect to a customer system in place of a 6150 precisely because even simple programming on the 6150 is a nightmare. I thought I'd messed up my wiring first time I saw the "NO AC" alert on the 6150, turned a simple 40-minute job into a 2-hour long ordeal! I always set up my 6160 now at any site I go to that is using only 6150s.

I have some questions about my alarm system for my business, I have frameless glass doors and have run a hardwired surface mount contact to my Honeywell alarm system (20p). Now my question is I want to have 1-2 6160 keypads and a few 6150s if I buy one 6160 or 6150 rf then am I set or do I have to buy all of them rf? Also what do I wire in my keypads I wired the AC power source into terminals 1-2 now what type of wires do I use for attaching the keypads to the board? Also how will I use a 5828 wireless keypad In addition to my keypads?

Hello, I added a second voice keypad (6150v) to my system as address 18 (have two other) My main control is a 6160V. All functions are working, but the volume on the second key pad cannot be increased(#,0,2,3) some reason. is there a setting I'm missing or is the second voice keypad bad?

I have one like that on the wall. What does it do? Don’t need to have a subscription? Landline phone? Can I just cut it out from the wall? Thanks

Is there a way to set the green "display" backlight on the 6160/6160rf keypads to remain on, at full brightness, all of the time? I know the key's backlight stays on constantly, but only the display backlight lights up when you press a key. Also, if this were to be done, would it draw much more currant from the panel, by setting it that way versus leaving it alone? Thanks for the help.

Any help and reply would be greatly appreciated - I'm driving myself crazy trying to program one of the function keys (A,B,C,D) on the HW 6160 Keypad to "arm instant" as an easier method than opening the door and pressing # 7. Best Always.

How can I add a secondary chime that can be attached to the panel box?
