Ademco 5828 Wireless Keypad

Originally made for the LYNX systems, ADEMCO's 5828V Wireless Voice Keypad preserves your valuable time by offering the quickest and easiest installation of any secondary keypad on the market. Recently this keypad has been freed up to be used on any vista panel with the appropriate receiver.

The 5828V is quick and easy to install: it is not necessary to run any wires. The unit will mount anywhere, on counters, walls, and tabletops — and it even supplies the flexibility and convenience of operating the system from any location in the home.

The 5828V speaks the system status and zone information in plain English, and you can employ the use of the built-in family message center to record and play back your own voice messages.

Features:

* Doesn't require running any wires
* System status and zone information spoken in plain English
* Includes family message center
* Uses three AA batteries as a power supply (included)
* Large keypad, easy to use with single button operation
* Optional desk mount and AC power pack available
* Good looking white keypad matches perfectly with any decor
* Contoured, removable door hides soft-touch back-lit keys

Much easier to set up than the 5839 wireless keypad. Can be used with the 5883h, 6150rf and 6160rf receivers. Only requires a house code. Range is great for transmission, but rather short on status/feedback of around 40 feet.
