Controlling the Volume in a Honeywell 5828

In this video, Jorge demonstrates how to adjust the volume on a Honeywell 5828 Keypad. The regular version of the keypad can have its push-button tones increased and decreased in volume. However, the tones cannot be muted entirely. The volume needs to be adjusted one notch at a time from the keypad.

There are two versions of the Honeywell 5828. There is the standard 5828, as well as a 5828V with voice annunciation functionality. The 5828V has more robust volume control as you can actually mute the voice function, as well as adjust the tone volume. With the regular 5828, only the push-button tone volume can be adjusted. The volume must adjusted one level at a time, and it cannot be muted completely. The increase volume command is [#] + [2] + [3]. The decrease volume command is [#] + [2] + [6].

The Honeywell 5828 makes for a great addition to an existing Honeywell LYNX Touch or Honeywell VISTA System. It pairs with one of these panels using a House ID Code. The set House ID for the 5828 Keypad must match the set House ID for the system. Additionally, a VISTA System will need an added wireless transceiver to support the 5828. You can use a standalone module like the 5883H for this job. There are also other keypads like the 6160RF that have built-in transceiver modules for supporting a 5828. That can be a good option, as the 6160RF can serve as the primary keypad, and the 5828 can be used as a secondary one.

As a Fixed English keypad, the Honeywell 5828 is relatively basic in terms of functionality. It can arm and disarm the system easily and provide a quick look at the current system status. However, it really isn't used for much else. Deep level programming will either need to be performed from the panel itself on a LYNX Touch or an Alphanumeric keypad on a VISTA Panel.
