@@AlarmGrid So...you intend the video to be DIY-friendly--even for people who don't have a drill-driver. That's good. But to make the holes into which the screw inserts installed that were used to mount the back plate using the screws that you screwed in using the screwdriver (DIY-friendly), you used a drill-driver. Hmmm........
@@michaelgilmore9288 I’m pretty sure I provided the above reply based solely on the question, not having re-watched the video to see that a drill was used later on. Sorry! So, the lesson is, if you don’t have a drill, you can remove the screws with a screwdriver, but it will take a while. If you need to drill a hole, then you need a drill, which most people will have. If you happen to have a drill with a screwdriver bit, then you can make the first part of the process, the removing of the screws, a lot quicker!
@@AlarmGrid Wow. Aren't we touchy. And defensive, too--just like in the original reply to Matthew. Defensiveness isn't seen as a positive thing by most people. You are saying that you don't remember whether or not you used a drill to drill the mounting holes in the wall to mount the back plate? And you say that "if you don't have a drill, you can remove the screws with a screwdriver" but you don't say how to make the holes in the wall if you don't have a drill? Wouldn't it have just been easier to respond to Matthew by saying 'Yes, using a driver would have been faster." You could have avoided this hole that you have been digging yourself into. I do agree that Matthew could have phrased his comment more pleasantly while making the point that he wanted to make.
@@michaelgilmore9288 I actually wasn't involved with the making of this video. I'm sorry for my original reply to Matthew. I didn't mean to come off as defensive in my reply to you, I was actually being apologetic. I guess I did dig myself into a hole with the original reply, no shovel required!
You made two confusing statements about wiring. Starting at about 7:49: 1. "So these two, purple, GREEN, black, red, and WHITE colors don't really matter." You then go on to tell us that green and white DO MATTER. - That makes no sense. 2. Starting at 7:57: "So we used blue and green, for our positive and negative power... " "We used um, green and white and our yellow for our data... so those are the four we want". Huh? IT"S VERY CONFUSING. You start by saying we don't need green and white, Then we DO. Then you say green is negative, then you say it's data along with white and yellow. Which is it? Sorry, but giving us unclear wiring instructions is giving us WRONG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS, therefore your video is basically useless.
Matt Pacini There were just other color conductors that we didn't use. Sorry for the confusion. You just have to make sure the keypad negative terminal is connected to the panel's aux negative terminal, the keypad positive to the panel's aux positive, the keypad G (for green) to Data In on the panel and the keypad Y (for yellow) to Data Out on the panel.
The wires he said don't matter were the ones used as extentions (jumpers) on the lines that were running down the wall. you can see the crimped connections on the lines... Depending on your wire you need to know what ones are positive nutral and what ever your diagram shows for the other 2...
@@Kgoncalv What you are saying is that Sterling was talking about the colors of the jumper wires--that were attached to the old keypad and have meaningless colors--along with the colors of the wires that come from the control panel and attach to the jumpers. The colors of the wires coming from the control panel are the colors that are important to attaching correctly to the keypad. So why even mention the colors of the jumpers at all? Like Matt said, confusing.
Hello, how can I reset a used keypad with a new Vista 20P?
Hey Sterling can you use a 6160AP with a Vista 21IP?
Do you mean the 6160PX? If so, then yes. I'm not familiar with a 6160AP.
@@AlarmGrid Well a 6160AP is a six-wire 6160 that works on The Honeywell Apex Destiny 6100 panels!
Get a drill, geeze, taking 5x longer than necessary
