ADEMCO 6160RF
Keypad/Transceiver
Installation and Setup Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 6160RF keypad/transceiver is a combination unit that combines the functions of the following devices:
•6160 Alphanumeric Addressable Keypad
•5881H RF Receiver
•5800TM Transmitter Module
The 6160RF Keypad/Transceiver may be used on any control panel that supports 5800 Series wireless devices (e.g., VISTA-10P,
VISTA-15P, and VISTA-20P).
FEATURES
•Supports wireless key transmitters (e.g.; 5834-4) and bi-directional transmitters (e.g.; 5804BD, 5828/5828V).
•Supports wireless keys with high-security (encryption) capability (e.g.; 5804E, 5834-4).
•Provides a nominal range of 200 feet for RF transmitters (some transmitters have a shorter range).
•Supports RF jam detection when the receiver is enabled.
•Capable of sending status signals (Armed, Ready, etc.) to bi-directional units such as 5804BD, 5804BDV and 5828/5828V.
UL
The following 5800 series transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802, 5834-4, 5804BD, 5804BDV,
5804E, 5814, 5819, 5819BRS, 5819WHS, and 5828/5828V.
INSTALLING THE 6160RF
Locate the 6160RF in an area and at a height where it is
convenient for user operation. The 6160RF must be at least
10 ft from the control panel to ensure proper operation of the
RF receiver.
Mounting and Wiring
The 6160RF has terminal blocks for connection to power and
data wires. Removing the keypad’s case back provides
access to the terminal blocks.
The 6160RF can be surface mounted directly to walls, or to a
single- or double-gang electrical box. Follow these steps to
mount and wire the keypad:
1. Push the two case release snaps at the bottom of the
keypad with the blade of a medium screwdriver (this will
push in the release snap), then pull that side of the case
back away. Insert the screwdriver in the side of the
keypad (between the front and back case) and gently
twist to release the side locking tab. Repeat for the other
side. Refer to Figure 1 for location of the case back
release snaps and locking tabs.

2. Pass the wiring from the control panel through the
opening in the case back. (see the control panel’s
instructions for proper run lengths.)
a. If surface wiring is being used, wiring may be routed
through the top or the bottom left-side breakout in the
case back. The breakouts must be punched out using
a screwdriver before mounting the case back.
b. If desired, wires may be strain-relieved to the wire tie
point on the inside of the case back with a tie wrap
(not supplied).
3. Mount the case back to a wall or to an electrical box using
the 25mm-long self-tapping screws supplied (mollies for
drywall are not supplied).
4. Connect the power and data wires from the control panel
to the terminals on the 6160RF as indicated in Figure 2
and Table 1
.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES FOR THE 6160RF
Use the following guidelines when planning an installation:
If… And… Then…
This is the only
transceiver on
the system,
You want to use both
the receiver and
transmitter function
on a single-partition
system,
• Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the desired partition.*
• Enable the receiver.
• Program a system House ID in the control panel (this will enable the transmitter
function).**
• Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this 6160RF to the same
system House ID.
There is another
receiver or
transceiver on
the system,
You want to use only
the transmitter
function on a second
partition,
• Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the desired partition.*
• Disable the receiver.
• Program a DIFFERENT House ID in the 6160RF than is programmed in the control
panel.*/ **
• Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this 6160RF to the same
House ID as the 6160RF.
You want to use only
the transmitter
function on a single-
partition system,
• Set the keypad to a device address assigned to the Partition 1.
• Disable the receiver.
• Program a House ID in the 6160RF that matches the system House ID
programmed in the control panel.*
• Set the wireless devices that will communicate with this 6160RF to the same
House ID.
Notes:
* On VISTA-40 panels and above, wireless keypads (e.g., 5804BD) can only be used on a single partition. This partition is
programmed in field 1*48, and must match the partition assigned to the 6160RF. Wireless keys can be used on more than one
partition, using a House ID programmed in the 6160RF and the devices. In this case, the wireless keys must be assigned to the
same partition as the 6160RF.
** On VISTA-20P panels, the 6160RF will use the House ID programmed in the panel for the partition to which it is assigned.
Wireless keypads can only be used on Partition 1.
PROGRAMMING THE 6160RF
Refer to the following procedure to program the 6160RF:

ACTIVATING HIGH SECURITY DEVICES
This following procedure should be followed if using High-Security (encrypted) devices.
STEP DESCRIPTION
1. Follow the normal procedure for programming the device into the control panel (refer to the Installation Instructions for
the device that you are programming). Exit out of Programming Mode.
2. Put the control panel in Go/ No Go Test mode. (See the Installation Guide for the panel being installed.)
3. Follow the instructions supplied with each wireless device to enroll the device in High-security mode. After each device
is enrolled the 6160RF will momentarily display “SECURE DEVICE” along with the device number and its serial
number.
Note: The 6160RF will support a maximum of 8 devices. If you attempt to enroll additional devices the keypad will display
“EXCEEDED NUMBER” “ALLOWED DEVICES”.
DISABLING HIGH SECURITY DEVICES
This mode gives you the ability to disable high security on all wireless keys that have been enrolled in the 6160RF. This is
particularly useful if a user loses a wireless key.

Once high-security (encrypted) devices have been disabled, they will only operate if the 6160RF is set to listen to both
encrypted and non-encrypted devices (programming step 6, above). To completely disable the devices, they must be deleted
from the control panel.
