APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Use the following guidelines when planning an installation:
• Local wireless keys (wireless keys programmed directly into the 6150RF) may be used regardless of whether the
RF receiver in the 6150RF is enabled or disabled.
• If using bi-directional devices, be sure to enable the transmitter module in the 6150RF.
• If transmitters are programmed into the control panel, be sure to enable the receiver. (Make sure you do not
exceed the number of receivers supported by the control panel.)
• If a local wireless key is programmed to arm/disarm or to trigger a relay on the control panel, a user code must be
entered into the 6150RF. This user code must also be programmed into the control panel.
• You must set the House ID only if you are using RF keypads and/or bi-directional devices; AND the House ID
Source is the 6150RF (Local).
6150RF Application Guide

* Two 6150RFs are needed for this application: one assigned to partition 1 and one assigned to partition 2.
** If using an RF keypad on only one partition, the 6150RF’s partition assignment in panel programming must match the partition.
*** If set for Local on a partition control, the 6150RF’s partition assignment must match the one programmed in the BD device.

4 Press [✻] to exit the 6150RF Program mode.

Programming Procedure
This section is divided into two parts.
• Programming for an installation WITHOUT local wireless keys.
• Programming for an installation WITH local wireless keys.
Using the programming procedure WITH local wireless keys, is necessary only if you plan to use wireless keys
beyond the control panel’s capacity, or on a system that does not support 5800 Series wireless. Refer to the 6150RF
Application Guide on page 1 for installations that require these settings.
Note: See the control panel's installation instructions for the acceptable keypad and receiver addresses.

If you are using a wireless key in High-Security mode (5804E) in the control panel, it will occupy one of the devices in the 6150RF.

Programming for an Installation WITHOUT Local Wireless Keys

Programming for an Installation WITH Local Wireless Keys

• The 6150RF is supplied with default settings for the functions of the wireless keys. See page 3.
• If, during the programming of the wireless keys, you make a wrong entry and want to reprogram a wireless key, simply
press the [#] key, then enter the correct information.
