replacing an ademco 4150

[[email protected]]

I'm looking at self replacing an old ademco 4150 alarm system, and I
have a few questions:

1) Is there another panel that I can use as a "drop in" replacement?
I'd rather not replace all the door and motion sensors unless I really
have to. If possible I'd like to just replace the keypad and control
panel.

2) If question 1 fails, what do people recommend for a package to buy?

Thanks
Cormac

AT&T 8000 or 8300 will work just fine

Mark- why in the hell do you do that? Are you so hateful that you would
purposely guide someone to a piece of shit like the AT&T 8000? I don't get
it.

I'd recommend the DSC Power 832 if you're a DIY'er. The panel is easy
to program and configure. If your present system is making use of end
of line resistors, you'll have to change them out (or cut them out of
the system and program it as NO-EOL.

2) If question 1 fails, what do people recommend for a package to buy?

1 should be good. There are a number of online resources you can access
to purchase product, but my advice would be to find a local Dealer that
will sell it to you (and be available should you need help).

You can simply replace the panel and keypad. All hard-wired sensors will work
as before with the new hardware. Almost any panel will do. Ademco (now
Honeywell) makes several models that would be fine. Their Vista-15P is
available as a kit with the 6160 keypad and an inside siren. The kit sells
retail for about $156.

Note: If you use an Ademco Vista series panel, the 6160 keypad is used to
program the system. Programming is simple, especially if the system is not
being monitored.

I would recommend the Vista20P. The DIY'er may want to add some additional
protection, plus the Vista20P has zone doubling which can further benefit
the DIY'er.

If the motion sensors are as old as the panel, then I would recomend
replacing them also.

True indeed, Jim. The only reason I suggested the less expensive Vista-20P
package is his old system has very few zones. As a "drop in" replacement either
package will work fine. The Vista-20P kit costs only a few dollars more and has
greater expansion capabilities should that be a concern to the OP.

Thanks. I had been looking at this before and wondering how compatible
it was. You're right. I do need to expand the system a little
(thinking about adding the outside sheds into the system), so this
looks like a good way to go.

Hateful? I thought I was doing him a favor

Amen! The OP posted a legitimate question. He asked politely. And some
of you guys are hell-bent on screwing with him for no reason whatsoever,
recommending AT&T panels and old Moose products.

He's obviously not a professional, and won't understand your attempts at
humor. Be nice to the poor guy!

Good deal. The Vista-20P Kit also supports "partitioning". That means it can
be split into two separately armed areas. If that seems useful you can leave
the outbuildings armed while the house is disarmed or vice versa.

You are 100% correct, those guys trying to pass off Moose panels are
troublemakers, now AT&T...THATS a panel!

(It's all Jack Stevens fault)
