Installing the Honeywell Home 6290W

[@Damingo63088]

I'm an ADT employee, and I'm watching this while installing 😅 they should invest more in training.

[@joshuagriffin2807]

We cover a lot of system that ADT installs except for the ADT Command Which is a PROA7 ADT proprietary system. You are Welcome to use any of our content for your security needs.

I learned about this topic thank you.

I like that..two persons to conect keypad...i just work by myself.. Installed first one today ..custumer like it..

[@AlarmGrid]

Bear in mind, these videos are geared toward the Do-It-Yourself installer, and many of the tips provided will be with that in mind. These are nice looking, simple, touchscreen interfaces.

Alarm Grid Team... You guys are doing a great service! I bought this keypad pretty much because of your videos. However, after install, I've discovered 2 annoying quirks of this unit that make it worse functionally than a standard Alpha keypad. Hopefully there are workarounds for this as they are simply software related. First, to see what zones are faulted, you have to wake up the screen, and navigate to faulted zones to see what's open. On the old alpha keypad that was simply at a glance as the display would wake up and display the zone -- no user intervention required. Now, it stays blacked out, not giving you any information. How could they do that? There is no setting for it natively. Secondly, once the screen times out, nothing brings it back up except for user touch. There should be an option to have system events wake up the screen. And once it's on, nice and large, display the faulted zone until it's cleared. We've all had that moment where a zone chimes that's not supposed to, and you immediately need to see what zone it is. You may be in a dangerous situation and the last thing you need to do it dig thru menus on the keypad. Just show the zone! Worse yet, once you do navigate to show the zone the hard way, it lags before it shows it. These are deep fundamental flaws that Honeywell should address. I'm somewhat regretting purchasing this unit as I've lost functionality versus the Alpha it replaced. You guys think Honeywell could be convinced to fix these issues? Thanks so much!!

I will send your concerns over to the manufacturer thank you for your feed back

I have a 6290 like the one in your video. How do i adjust the exit/entry time limit to arm/disarm?

[@Vasyl_Havrylyak]

I installed 6290W, but getting error message: CAL 3.0 panel in not supported, do you know how to fix it?

[@ramiakhras4870]

I’m had the same problem

[@Vasyl_Havrylyak]

Vista 128 bp is not supported with 6290w, I replaced with 20p, working great. Thank you

[@gustavoalcala-ux5dj]

Good afternoon friends of Alarmgrid I wanted to make a query which is the field to activate that sends several reports of the same area once alla an intrusion without being disarmed the system. That is, if I arm the system I open a window the system sends the report to the monitoring center I close the window without disarming the system pass the 4 min of siren cut I reopen the same area and no longer sends me the intrusion report. Will there be any fields that I need to activate?

[@traviscox7336]

Gustavo - I believe you are looking to change field 93. Hope that helps! Email for further assistance.

[@colinmacdonald5169]

Hello, I would love to install this keypad in my office and I have a vista 20p. What field of programming would I enter for this?

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

You would need to have the 6290 be on an open ECP address. This would be found in field 189.

[@colinmacdonald5169]

@@dylanalarm_grid1038 okay thanks

[@anthonygizzo7666]

How do you set up 2nd partions using the 6290

[@yeungwilliam2091]

When I use the 6290W in V20P, after programming press *99, the 6290W will reboot every time. Is there any wrong ?

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

This is normal behavior. When you exit programming this will also reboot any attached touchscreen keypads.

[@jm-um4st]

Why would we have to leave a keypad connected? I want to replace the keypad with the vista panel.

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

The alpha-numeric keypad is suggested as it will be used to properly address the new 6290W keypad which you're adding to the vista system.

[@JessieMHadaller]

During disarming, I wonder if the camera guy knew the video was about the touchscreen and not the alpha keypad..

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

Seems he was showing how the push button keypad will show the disarmed state as well.

[@JessieMHadaller]

Dylan @Alarm_Grid they are on the same partition. That was stated in the video.. they did not show the touch screen keypad disarming.

[@bustnbains]

I saw that you did the one touch arming.. mine doesn’t do that...I have vista 20p. Is this something can be done? Or it’s only available on 21ip

[@freddaniels8259]

Harry, You will need to enable quick arming inside of installer programming. This done in field *21. You would enter a 1,1 for 20p/21ip, and 1 for 15p.

[@taouficn.7330]

Hello, To what you are linking the keypad ?

[@DKAlarmgridSupport]

HI Taoufic, In this video we are adding the 6290W to a Vista-128BPT panel.

[@ashlyngallagher5325]

so how does one sneak out🤨

[@moialder252]

What if I get a vista 20P but THIS keypad will be the first and only keypad for the system? Will I not be able to program it unless i get those old school keypads too?

[@joshuagriffin2807]

Hey Moises, Yes, the panel can be programmed with that keypad when it is in console mode. make sure to set that 6290w to address 1 if you have no other touch screen keypads on the system. When you program with that keypad take your time with it.

[@moialder252]

@@joshuagriffin2807 is it still recommended to get an alphanumeric (older) keypad? I'm looking to DIY and have a vista 20p and only this 6290 touch pad. there are no guides and such it seems online, but you are saying it should all be in the 6290 settings to work just fine as the only keypad within the system? if so thanks.

[@jasonchipkin]

Does this allow you to "bypass all" when arming so you don't have to bypass each window if you want to keep them open?

[@AlarmGrid]

Yes, you'll go to Security, More Choices, then Show Zones. Select the zones you want to bypass, and then choose "Bypass Selected". There is a limit of 10 zones that can be bypassed at one time on the Vista Residential (Vista-21iP, Vista-20P, Vista-15P) panels.

[@jasonchipkin]

@@AlarmGrid so you can't bypass and arm automatically like the ADT pulse system then?

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

@@jasonchipkin This is correct, there are quick bypass options that can be enabled but there is no option to set an auto bypass for the vista panels.

[@mrmaddocs68752]

Do I need a keypad on address 16?

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

Address 16 would be used for a push-button keypad. If you're using this type of keypad, you can set it to other address numbers but 16 is normally used as the main keypad address number.

[@mrmaddocs68752]

@@dylanalarm_grid1038 What if the first keypad is set to address 17

[@dylanalarm_grid1038]

That is fine and the keypad would operate normally.
