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., VISTA128BPT).
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 word keypad.

WALL MOUNTING
Before mounting the 5828 & 5828V permanently, determine
a good RF location as follows:
• If using with a LYNX panel, try communicating with the
panel from different locations.
• If using with 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.
