Honeywell today released the 6100 Series Custom Alpha and Fixed-Language Keypads, giving security dealers a broader portfolio to accommodate a range of homeowner budgets and lifestyles. The Custom Alpha keypads feature VISTA® Intelligent Programming (VIP)—an intuitive, menu-based programming option for the most common functions that helps reduce installation time and labor costs. VIP is currently available with Honeywell’s VISTA-20P control panels.

Easy-to-use graphics and a symmetrical design give the 6100 Series the same look and feel as Honeywell’s home and business controllers with touchscreen displays. The seven-model suite offers larger screens with light, neutral backlighting that blends with most interiors. The devices occupy less wall space while providing 32-percent larger display areas with bold fonts and graphic icons, which are ideal for the elderly or visually impaired. Additionally, function and arming keys provide quick set-up and easier use. These new models offer voice, integrated RF or a hardwired zone to best meet the needs of the installation, and the homeowner’s budget.

“Security professionals must cater to evolving consumer expectations, and today the expectation is budget-friendly convenience,” said Alan Stoddard, senior marketing director, Honeywell Security Products Americas. “The 6100 Series offers a modern, quick-install keypad for every need and price point—making them an ideal choice for any VISTA installation.”
