* On VISTA-20SE: two 6128RFs are needed for this application; one connected to partition 1’s keypad terminals, and one connected to
partition 2’s.
** On VISTA-40 and VISTA-50P, if using an RF keypad on only one partition, the 6128RF’s partition assignment must match the
partition set in field 1*48.
*** If set for Local on a partition control, the 6128RF’s partition assignment must match the one programmed in the BD device.
Installing the 6128RF
Locate the 6128RF in an area and at a height where it is convenient for user operation. The 6128RF must be at
least 10' from the control panel to ensure proper operation of the RF receiver.

Figure 1
for wiring connections and perform the following steps:
Step Action
1
Remove the case back by pushing down the two snaps along the 6128RF’s upper edge and pulling the
case apart.
2
Route the wiring from the control panel through the opening in the case back. (See the control
panel’s instructions for proper wire run lengths).
3
Mount the case back directly to a wall or electrical gang box.
Note: Do not use the center screw hole of the top mounting holes.
4
Connect the power and data wires from the control panel to the terminals on the 6128RF.
5
Connect the wires for the relay output (if being used) to the terminals on the 6128RF’s PC board.
6
Reattach the keypad to its case back.
7
Remove the clear protective films from the LCD display and keypad labels.
NOTE: Upon power up or exiting of the Program Mode, the 6128RF will alternately flash "Ad" and the 2-digit
keypad address and the 2-digit receiver address on the display. Press any key to display the system status.
