Installing The Keypads; Figure 3-4: Keypad Connections To Control Panel - Honeywell VISTA-128BPEN Installation And Setup Manual

Installing the Keypads

Up to 31 addressable keypads (addresses 00-30) may be used (you may need to use an auxiliary power supply if the
750mA aux. output is exceeded).
NOTE: Refer to the Alpha Vocabulary list found in the #93 Menu Mode in the Programming Guide for list of the words
annunciated by the 6160V.
To wire the keypads, perform the following steps:
Step Action
1 Determine wire gauge by referring to the Wire Run Length/Gauge table below.
Wire Run Length/Gauge Table
Wire Gauge
#22 gauge
#20 gauge
#18 gauge
#16 gauge
2 Wire keypads to a single wire run or connect individual keypads to separate wire runs. The maximum wire
run length from the control to a keypad, which is homerun back to the control must not exceed the lengths
listed in the table.
3 Run field wiring from the control to the keypads (using standard 4-conductor cable of the wire gauge
determined in step 1).
4 Connect the keypad(s) to terminals 6, 7, 8, and 9 on the control board, as shown in Figure 3-4.
•
The length of all wire runs combined, regardless of the wire gauge, must not exceed 2000 feet when unshielded
quad conductor cable is used (1000 feet if unshielded cable is run in conduit, which acts a shield, or if shielded
cable is used).
•
If more than one keypad is wired to one run, then the above maximum lengths must be divided by the number of
keypads on the run (e.g., the maximum length is 225 feet if two keypads are wired on a #22 gauge run).
Addressing the Keypads
The keypads will not operate until they are physically addressed and enabled in the system's Device Programming
in the #93 Menu Mode .
Set each keypad for an individual address (00-30) according to the keypad's instructions. Set an alpha keypad for
address 00 and other keypads for higher addresses (00 and 01 are enabled in the system's default program). Any
keypads set for address 02 and above will appear blank until they are enabled in the system's program. Each keypad
must be set for a different address.
• Do not set any keypads to address 31 (nonaddressable mode). They will interfere with other keypads (as well as
other devices) connected to the keypad terminals.
• If an "OC" or "OPEN CIRCUIT" message is present on a keypad, data from the control is not reaching the
keypad. Check your wiring.
