ADEMCO 5828/5828V
Wireless Bidirectional Fixed-Word Keypads
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 5828 and 5828V are wireless, bidirectional,
fixed-word, keypads that may be used in conjunction with
LYNX and VISTA series residential control panels. VISTA
systems require use of either a 5883 Transceiver (micro P/N
WAK5119-X, where X = 3 or higher), 6150RF Keypad/
Transceiver (PC board P/N SA6150RFAS-T3 or higher), or
6160RF Keypad/Transceiver. The 5828/5828V keypads are
not compatible with commercial control panels that have
three-digit zone numbers (e.g., VISTA128BP).
Both keypads provide:
• Four programmable special function keys
• Wall-mount plate for easy removal of the keypad and
battery replacement
• Optional Desktop mount /AC adapter kit, ADEMCO
P/N 5828DM)
• Battery-powered with 3-AA batteries
The 5828V keypad additionally provides:
• Memo/Message center
• Voice Response – system status, zone information, and
alarms with zone information
• Stored Message LED indication
• Built-in microphone and speaker
NOTES:
• The 5828/5828V cannot be used as the primary system
keypad, and may not be used to program or test any
security system. All systems require a hardwired
keypad (or Compass Downloader) to do so. Once
programmed, the 5828/5828V can be used to initiate all
common functions of a fixed English keypad.

Operation (See NOTE below)
1. Battery-Powered Operation: When powered by
battery, the keypad activates when any key is pressed.
When the [✱] key is pressed, the keypad sends a system
status request, and displays and/or annunciates the present
status transmitted by the system.
2. AC-Powered Operation: When powered by AC, the
keypad remains active at all times. Any change in system
status will cause the display to automatically turn on (if
blank) and display/annunciate the new status.
If AC power is lost, the keypad will revert to battery-powered
operation until AC power is restored and a new status
request is made ([✱] key).
NOTE: Whether the unit is powered by battery or AC, the
5828/5828V may take up to 5 seconds to display and/or
annunciate the new status after pressing the [✱] key.
WALL MOUNTING
Before mounting the 5828 & 5828V permanently,
determine a good RF location as follows:
• If interfacing to a LYNX panel, try communicating
with the panel from different locations.
• If interfacing to a VISTA panel, perform a Go/No
Go test from the panel. Refer to the Go/No Go test
mode in the Installation and Setup Guide for the
panel.
Avoid mounting locations on or near large metal objects,
since these can decrease the transmission range or block
transmissions.
• Secure the mounting plate to the wall, using proper sized
hardware through the six mounting holes.
• Plug the cord from the optional power pack into the
keypad’s DC input connector, and route the wires
through the wire guides on the back of the keypad.
• Position the keypad over the mounting plate and slide
down, engaging the four retaining clips on the plate with
the receptacles on the keypad.
DESKTOP MOUNTING
For full portability, the keypad may be placed in any convenient, RF-suitable location and operated in its batterypowered mode, or near an AC outlet to be powered by the
optional Power Pack/Desktop Mounting Kit, ADEMCO P/N
5828DM.
BATTERY INSTALLATION OR REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: Remove the AC/DC power connector from the
keypad (if applicable), before attempting to install or replace
the batteries.
1. Separate the keypad from its mounting plate by
sliding the keypad up and away from the
mounting plate.
2. Open the battery compartment door to expose the
batteries.
3. Install or replace the 3-1.5 Volt AA batteries in the
battery compartment. Always replace all three
batteries at once to ensure normal operation of the
keypad over the anticipated battery lifetime. Make
sure that battery positive (+) and negative (–)
terminals are properly oriented with the battery
spring clip connections. Refer to battery placement
graphic below.

4. Reattach the keypad to its mounting plate by
aligning the four mounting holes in the keypad
case back with the four mounting clips on the
mounting plate. Lower the keypad onto the clips.
PROGRAMMING
The following two items must be programmed in the keypad
by the installer.
