ADEMCO 5828/5828V
Wireless Bidirectional Fixed-Word Keypads
USER GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 5828 and 5828V are wireless keypads
that can be used to operate and get status from your
security system. The 5828 and 5828V have the
following features (voice annunciation features apply
only to the 5828V):
• Can be used to arm/disarm, and perform other
system operations.
• Can display and/or annunciate system status.
• Can automatically display and/or annunciate a
change in system status if AC powered (e.g., for an
alarm, the keypad will announce the type of alarm
(fire or burglary) and location (e.g. kitchen window).
• The 5828V Message Center can be used to record
and play back a voice memo to yourself, or leave a
message for a family member.
• Can be battery- or AC-powered (AC-powered units
have several advantages, described below).
Battery-Powered Operation: When powered by
battery, the keypad must first be activated by pressing
any numbered key. The keypad will display the current
system status within a few seconds. You may at any
time before or after receiving status, arm, disarm, send
a panic alarm, or perform other system operations. The
keypad becomes inactive when no keys have been
pressed for 15 seconds, and must be reactivated to
display the current status.
AC-Powered Operation: When powered by the
optional AC adapter, the keypad remains active at all
times. If AC power is lost, the keypad reverts 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 a few seconds to display
and/or annunciate the new status after pressing the [✱]
key.

KEYPAD KEYS
These keypads include 12-operational keys, as well as
four Special Function keys that are backlit for ease of
use when the keypad is active. To access the keypad
keys, simply open the swing-down door by applying
outward pressure on the door release slot on the right
side.
Panic alarms are activated by pressing the key pairs
shown in the table below. Special Function keys A, B,
and C, can be programmed by your installer to provide
the same alarms by pressing a single key and holding it
down for 3-seconds, or can be assigned other system
operations. (Ask your installer to fill in the tables below
with assigned functions of these keys).

SOUNDER
The keypad’s built-in sounder pulses three times and
then pauses (repeatedly) for fire alarms, and generates
a continuous two-tone sound for burglary alarms.
HOW TO GET SYSTEM STATUS
When Powered By Battery
Pressing any key will turn on the keypad. However, to
specifically request system status from the control,
simply press the [✱] key. Status will be displayed
within a few seconds.
When Powered By AC Power
On AC powered units you can get the status by viewing
the display. The keypad is automatically updated when
a change in system status takes place (arming,
disarming, trouble, etc.).
HOW TO PROGRAM OR CHANGE YOUR 4-DIGIT
SECURITY CODE IF USING QUICK KEY FUNCTIONS
In order to Quick Arm the system using this keypad,
you will need to program your own 4-digit security code
into the keypad. This code must match a code that has
already been programmed into your control panel. To
program the 4-digit code, perform the following steps:
1. Press the 7 INSTANT
and 9 CHIME keys at the
same time until the display flashes double dashes
(- -), then release.
2. Enter the 4-digit security code that matches a valid
user code already programmed into your control
panel. Do NOT use the Duress Code. There will be
no display of the numbers you pressed.
