ADEMCO 6150V & 6160V
Voice Remote Keypads
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 6150V and ADEMCO 6160V are addressable
remote keypads designed for use with ADEMCO control
panels and provide the following features:
• Backlit Display • Voice Chime
• Programmable Function Keys
• Built-in Sounder
• Voice Status
• Message Center
• Supervised by control panel (if supported)
Notes:
• When used with the ADEMCO VISTA-15P/VISTA-
20P control panels, address 16 must be assigned to
the first keypad. Additional keypads must be
assigned to address 17 – 23. Refer to Setting The
Keypad Options.
• Keypad keys are continuously backlit for convenience.
• Permanent display backlighting is an option on some
controls (refer to control panel’s instructions for details).
• Voice Chime should only be enabled when used with
control panels that support the "chime by zone" mode
(e.g., VISTA-15P/VISTA-20P). This mode must be
enabled at the control panel. Refer to the control panel's
installation and setup guide for information on how to
program the chime mode.
• Use only zone descriptors supported by this
keypad. If using zone descriptors not supported
by this keypad, you must turn voice status and
voice chime off. Table 1 is a list of applicable zone
descriptors and index entries. Refer to the control
panel’s installation and setup guide for information
about how to program zone descriptors.
• For the 6160V ONLY, supervision must be enabled for
commercial fire installations.
UL NOTE: ADEMCO 6150V cannot be used for commercial
fire applications.

The following table identifies the keypad’s LEDs and
associated functions:
LED Function
ARMED Lights red when the system is armed in any mode.
READY Lights green when the system is "ready" to be
armed.
MESSAGE Flashes red when message waiting or lights red
(steady) when in record mode.
PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION KEYS
The keypad's programmable function keys [A, B, C] are
normally used for keypad panic functions, but they can be
programmed for other special functions instead. If they are
programmed for other special functions, the associated
keypad key pairs still provide the respective panic alarm (if
programmed). Refer to the control panel’s Installation &
Setup Guide for details.

• Function keys must be held down for at
least 2 seconds to activate the programmed
function.
• If functions other than panics are assigned
to the programmable function keys,
programmed panics must be initiated by
pressing the programmed key pair.
FUNCTION KEY LABELS
A set of adhesive-backed labels with some typical function
symbols (i.e., fire, police, personal emergency, etc.) is
provided. These labels can be placed on or next to the keys
to identify each key's function for the end user (as
determined by the capability and programming of the
control panel; refer to the installation and setup guide for
the control panel).
