Description

The Honeywell 6148 is a fixed English alarm keypad that is a compact and cost effective option for controlling all Honeywell wired security systems. The large, easy to read display provides feedback on security system status and zone information using predetermined English messages and programmed zone numbers.

Because the 6148 is a fixed English keypad, it can only provide a limited number of messages. Therefore, it is not recommended that you use the 6148 alarm keypad for advanced security system programming that requires sub-menu access. You should use an alphanumeric keypad such as the Honeywell 6160 for full security system programming. The Honeywell 6148 is functionally similar to the 6150 fixed English alarm keypad, except that it lacks the (4) programmable one-touch function buttons. The 6148 alarm keypad features the same stylish case as other Honeywell wired keypads, allowing you to mix and match more advanced keypads with the basic fixed English model. You can save on cost when using multiple hardwired keypads to control your Honeywell security system by utilizing the Honeywell 6148 in any location where only basic user functions are necessary.

The Honeywell 6148 has a full functioning soft-touch keypad that is backlit for easy use in a dark environment. In addition, there are (3) special-function key pairs that can be programed for police, fire and medical panic situations. By pressing the [1] & [*], [*] & [#], or [3] & [#] keys together, you can activate audible or silent emergency notifications from your 6148 alarm keypad.

The 6148 fixed English alarm keypad must be addressed to your Honeywell control panel to function properly. Acceptable addresses range from (00) to (30). To program your alarm keypad’s address, hold down the [1] and [3] keys together for (3) seconds during the first minute after powering up the keypad and then enter the (2) digit keypad address. The Honeywell 6148 keypad requires a four wire data bus connection to the ECP terminals on your alarm control panel.

The Honeywell 6148 is a Fixed English Keypad for a Honeywell VISTA System. This keypad is great for performing general system functions like arming and disarming. It is often compared with the Honeywell 6150, which is also a Fixed English Keypad. The advantage to the Honeywell 6150 is that it has the four (4) programmable one-touch function buttons. However, the 6148 is slightly more compact than the 6150. If a user just needs a basic Fixed English Keypad, and they don't care about the one-touch function buttons, then the Honeywell 6148 can be a good selection. We give the Honeywell 6148 a 5-Star rating.

There are many things to like about the Honeywell 6148. For one, it is one of the most compact keypad options available for a Honeywell VISTA. It is even smaller than the Honeywell 6150, which is already very compact. If minimizing space is a top priority, then the 6148 is usually the go-to choice. The keypad buttons are backlit, which makes it easy to operate the keypad in a dark setting. The keypad supports various dual-button inputs for triggering panics. This adds to the ways that you can use the keypad. We also appreciate the fact that the Honeywell 6148 has a very good build-quality.

There are some downsides for the Honeywell 6148 that should be mentioned. When using a Fixed English Keypad like the Honeywell 6148, you will be operating blindly in programming mode. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you do not use the Honeywell 6148 to program your VISTA System. There is also the fact that the Honeywell 6148 lacks the one-touch function buttons that are found on the Honeywell 6150. If you want to get a keypad with one-touch function buttons, then the 6150 is recommended instead. Or even better, you could get an Alphanumeric Keypad like the Honeywell 6160, which is much better for system programming. But overall, these downsides are relatively minor. We can confidently give the Honeywell 6148 a 5-Star rating.

Good: Compact, Backlit Keys, Dual-Button Inputs, Good Build Quality

Bad: Not Recommended for Programming, Lacks One-Touch Function Buttons

Bottom Line: 5 Stars

Yes, if you have the right panel PROM version and the right alarm communicator and the right TC2 service plan. What is the WA number on your VISTA-20P PROM chip (should be located in the center of the green circuit board inside the metal alarm cabinet)?
Can the V20p system send remote acknowledgements to home owner via Total Connect 2.0 that a door or window is open, even when the system is not armed?
Yes, the programming settings live in the actual VISTA control panel and not the keypads. The keypads are just controlling/programming units for the VISTA panel itself.
Can I program a vista 10p panel with a 6160 keypad and after that I use a 6148EX keypad to control the panel? Will the setting still work? For example, I use 6160 to set Zone 1 as "Zone Type 01". After switching the keypad to 6148EX, will the setting sill exist?
The 6148 is just a keypad for a wired Honeywell alarm system. We would need the model number of the actual alarm system to answer this question. You can find the model number by looking at the black PROM chip in the middle of the green circuit board inside of the beige metal alarm cabinet. There will be a model number starting with 'WA' on the white sticker on the black PROM chip. Please respond with that model number and we can assist further.
Hello, how many zones can be added to the 6148 keypad? Currently have 6 zones, I would like to add 3 Honeywell Wireless Glassbreak Detector, (5853) can this be done? Would you have instruction if so? TIA.
Okay, do you have a specific question?
