Hello guys,

I have have a safewatch pro 2000 with 5816 wireless transmiters. When two windows in the house were changed the transmitters were lost.

I picked up the new transmitters and need to enroll the two sensors into zones 11 and 13.

I do not have an installers manual for the system, I believe I know the installer code. Its that standard around the keypad number sequence.

Can anyone walk me through the steps?

Thanks.

 

If your systems is the same as a Vists 15/20 try this.

also if you know the OLD zone numbers of the missing wireless
you can delete the old transmitter.

Programming Wireless Zones
1. Enter Programming, Installers Code + 8 + 0 + 0 or Power down then
back up & press the * + # keys simultaneously within 50 seconds.
2. Screen Displays, “INSTALLER CODE 20”
3. Press “*” + 56, screen displays “SET TO CONFIRM? 0 = NO, 1 = YES”
Enter 0.
4. Screen displays “ENTER ZN NUM. (00 = QUIT) 01
NOTE: Wireless zones use zone numbers 09-34.
5. Press 09 “*”, screen displays
ZN ZT P - RC IN : L
09 00 1 10 RF : -
NOTE: This is a summary screen that displays the current values for this
zone. ZN is the zone number, ZT is the zone response type, RC is the report
code, IN is the input type & L is the loop number.
6. Press “*”, screen displays “09 ZONE TYPE ZONE DISABLED” enter the
desired value for this zone.
The most common zone types are as follows.
• 01 = Entry/Exit 1 - Doors you will be using to enter and exit when the
alarm is on.
• 03 = Perimeter - Windows and doors you will not be using to enter
and exit when the alarm is on. Also Glassbreak detectors.
• 04 = Interior Follower - Motion detectors.
• 09 = Fire - Smoke and heat detectors.
• 12 = 24Hr. Monitor Water or Temperature sensors.
NOTE: You can use each zone type more then once.
See a full list below

ZONE TYPE/SYSTEM OPERATION – Choices for Zone Types are:
00 = Not Used
01 = Entry/Exit#1
02 = Entry/Exit#2
03 = Perimeter
04 = Interior Follower
05 = Trouble Day/Alarm Night
06 = 24 Hr Silent
07 = 24 Hr Audible
08 = 24 Hr Aux
09 = Fire
10 = Interior w/Delay
12 = Monitor Zone
14 = Carbon Monoxide
16 = Fire w/Verification
23 = No Alarm Response
24 = Silent Burglary
77 = Keyswitch
81 = AAV Monitor Zone
90-91 = Configurable

7. Press “*” to continue, screen displays “09 REPORT CODE 1ST 01 2ND 00. Enter
1 1 1 1 for the report code for all zones.
8. Press “*” to continue, screen displays “09 INPUT TYPE RF TRANS. 3” enter
the input type for this zone.
RF = (3) Supervised RF Transmitter (ex. 5816, 5817, 5890, 5806, etc.)
UR = (4) Unsupervised RF Transmitter (ex. 5802MN, 5802MN2, etc.)
BR = (5) Button RF (ex. 5804, 5804BD, 5802)
9. Press “*” to continue, screen displays “09 INPUT S/N L”
AXXX-XXXX 1
You can type in the serial number of the device or fault it to enroll.
10. Press “*” if the serial number entered is correct, the cursor should now be
flashing under the L. Enter the desired loop number for this device.
NOTE: The loop of most wireless devices will be loop 1 other then the
5816’s, 5817’s and 5804’s
5816 – If you are using a magnet lined up with the internal reed switch then
you will set the loop to loop 2. If you are wiring a contact into the terminals
of the 5816 then you will set the loop to loop 1. If you are using both then
you will need to program another zone with the same serial number but
with the other loop number.
5817 - Each terminal of this device will use a separate loop number. You
will need to program each loop separately. Each zone will have the same
serial number however a different loop number. See the instructions that
came with the 5817 for programming this device.
5804 – Each button of these devices will need to be programmed separately
with different loop numbers. See the instructions that came with the 5804
for programming this device.
11. Press “*” to continue, screen displays “ZN ZT P- RC IN : L”
09 09 1- 10 RF :1
This is the ending summary screen & shows any changes made to this zone.
12. Press “*” to continue, screen displays “PROGRAM APLHA? 0 = NO , 1 =
YES”, press 0 for NO. You will use * 82 to enter in your zone descriptors.
13. Screen displays “ENTER ZN NUM. (00 = QUIT) 10 - Repeat steps 6-13 or
press 00 to exit the *56 menu mode, then press “*” + 99 to exit program mode.

 

Old Navy,

Wow! Thats alot. I tried and what I found is that the display does not show any text.

I powered down and tried the sequence but it did not respond as you described. In fact now it does not even recognize the two zone that I was trying to replace when all the other zones are closed it just says, "READY" and the alarm sets?

Not sure I have the installer code right either and I forgot the steps to retieve that if I even need to.

My dispay is is only about 1" tall by 1.5-2" wide.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

You have the wrong keypad to try to do extensive zone programming. You need the alphanumeric keypad (Like the 6160) to do what you want to do.

 

If I buy the 6160 keypad will I be able to pull of the program? Can I then relocate my other keypad to my bedroom and have two?

 

Yupp, just remember to set the address on the new keypad when it is powered up.

 

Great I'll be back in a week when the panel comes in to firm things up.

As most DIY guys I do enjoy the challenge.

Thanks for the help.

 

So i picked up this 6160 Alpha Keypad. I guess I just connect the four wires and power it up?

Whats the point of the addressing? Is it supposed to be the same as the old panel? How would I figure it out if it needs to be?

If it doesn't need to be the same what should it be set to then?

Thanks

 

(Q) Whats the point of the addressing?
(A) Each keypad has to have a seperate address.

(Q) Is it supposed to be the same as the old panel?
(A) Is this keypad used? Are you keeping the OLD Keypad connected also?

Set or Read the keypad address
· The keypad address is set by holding the 1 and 3 keys together immediately after powering up the keypad. The display will show you the existing address. You may now key in the correct address. Press * to save it.

Vista-10P/15P/20P

* Set the first keypad to address 16, others may be 17-23
* Each device must have a unique address

 

Ummm, if your panel is a Safewatch pro _2000_ it's the same as the old Vista-20se (more or less). The keypads for those are set in non-addressed mode (31)

The reason for the addressing on some systems, is that there are functions that can be activated from one keypad, but not another among other options. It also allows the system to supervise the keypads and react if the keypad is removed or damaged.

You will probably want the installer manual for the system, whichever one you actually have, as even with help, being able to look at the instructions will help a lot.

 

Ok this is what I get when trying to program zone 13 which is one that I lost the RF for.

"Installercode 800"
"*"
field ?
"56"
Program Tool
0=no 1=yes

At this point if you go "0" it just asks you for the zone num and bumps you through the zone settings and asks if you want to set the alpha until it asks you for zone 14 settings or gives you the option to "00" out.

If you go "1" it asks you to input the s/n asks for the zone num and will go through the info thats already stored for that zone.

at the end when you "00" to quit it displays "exit error report 59" and then you *99 to exit.

It doesn't make the 5816's work. I tried both ways and I just can't get it.

any suggestions?

 

This is why I strongly suggested that you get the installer manual for this system. That said:

Go to program
go to *56
answer no (0) to the program tool question (it's a trick to use a single transmitter to program a large number of devices)

Enter the zone number (13 in your case)

It will show a summery of the current settings for that zone. Since you are replacing a transmitter, you will be keeping those settings, so press * to continue.

Next it will show a zone type prompt. Again you are keeping the current setting, press *. the same goes for the next 4 prompts; partition, report code, input and loop #.

The next prompt should be learn S/N (serial number) answer yes (1)

Input S/N is next: Trip the transmitter by moving the magnet away from the contact area (if you already mounted the transmitter, open the opening) It will record the device's serial number and the keypad should beep twice.

Trip it again by closing the opening or putting the magnet
back. The keypad should show a confirmation of the serial number. Press *.

It should show a summary screen. Press *

The next prompt is for alpha descriptors. You really need the manual to do this, so just skip it, for now (enter 0 for no). You can go back and enter this information later if you wish.

At this point, you should be back to the zone number selection prompt. Lather, rinse, and repeat for any other transmitters.

(This is as stripped down as this process gets. Once you actually do it, you will see that it's a lot harder to describe than to do).
