Is the 6150 chime very low? I have an old 4127 I need to replace and it is loud compared to the 6150. Could this keypad be bad or is it just low?

I'm sorry I don't remember the numbers of either my old one or my new one. I just know that I had my old one installed about 19-20 years ago and my new one installed about 3 years ago. I checked my Amazon account to see if I could find the number of my new one and it's no longer listed under my past orders.

If it's in your room, it's loud enough to wake you if you are sleeping, but I don't find it very loud.

I cannot compare, but I would agree it is not a loud sound. I do not use mine, and I had thought it was not very loud. I looked in programming for Vista-15, and 6150 user guide and even the back of a spare 6150 I have , and nothing I can find to adjust the volume.

I wouldn't know how to compare mine to your old one. Another of the 6100 series, you could compare the 2 to see if one is bad. Mine seem loud enough, but I haven't had any other pads that this series. I have 10 between 2 systems. They are all about the same. You wouldn't hear just one of them on a separate floor or on the other side of the house.

what Max K says is true if there is a way to change the code and there instructions on how to do it. Otherwise check the outside of the box it came in as to the Hz that it runs on them if it isn't changeable find another one of a different frequency. TFCOR

I have purchased the sc-1000 and the sc-10. I am encountering one problem after another. I am attempting to program the audio alarm and auto-dialer to the control panel, but I am confused and the directions are almost worthless. I also have two keychain transmitters, a motion sensor, and two window/door sensors that need to work with it also. Please, offer your advice.

I haven't heard the 615d...but I do know that the hotel front lobby told me that it was too loud several time. I ask them when are you gonna start insulating your walls. Lls. I've also been asked to turn it down at non profit events and at weddings with over 100+ guess.

Yes. This is the same keypad/control panel setup I have in my home. I did all programming, including zone programming, using the 6162RF keypad. I recommend the Alarm Grid videos on YouTube if you get stuck with anything. https://www.youtube.com/user/AlarmGrid

I just tested this keyboard right now. About the loudness of keys, it really depends on how much strength you you put in. If you just lightly And carefully touch a key, it does not make any sound at all in my opinion. But if you hit the keys continuously and very fast, which is what gamers do when chatting, or in a fierce battle, I would say it sounds just as loud as a conventional mechanical keyboard. Therefore, I would not recommend this one to anyone who does a lot of typing, especially gamers, chatters at night.

Hello, the keypad is not lit up. It does have small Green and Red indicator lights that tell you if you entered a correct/incorrect code or if it read your finger scan. TOn a side note, I've had mine for close to a year and it still works like a charm. I've been very happy.

I don't believe I paid that much for it. However, it is the nicest most well balanced CORDLESS keypad I have ever used. Besides, Logitech makes the best cordless products in my opinion.

It's all according to what works best for your set-up. They were running a sale when we purchased ours with the base keypad. I purchased one without the base keypad for my mother-in-law. Both systems work great!!

In my opinion the keys are quiet. As for the typing action, I do not find it as responsive as my previous Saitek products. For the money this was the best value I could find with the features I wanted; mainly illumination and volume control/mute on the keyboard. I've had no problems out of this keyboard other than what I may have posted in my original review.

No the 6150RF is not the replacement, this keypad can work but it has a receiver built in. You can use the 6150 basic or 6148 keypad which would be cheaper. It also depends on what model panel you have.

Mine was the same way. I found a different solution by using a wireless chime. It was a lot of work. I rigged the button to connect to the wired chime. It only worked for one door. Not 2 doors like the extend a chime. But at least it could be heard. Sometimes this stuff doesn't work. What are you going to do?

If you are concerned about noise, you might want to do an "o-ring mod" and as others suggested; turning the beeper off. The o-ring mod is the technique of putting o-rings on all the key-switches, effective eliminating the noise of bottoming out. If you do this your keyboard will be reasonably quiet. I personally prefer loud keyboards for programming work, I like to have a clear audible feedback (so my favourite switches are cherry MX blues).For reference; I own the Black USB version of this keyboard (that is mechanically identical with less functionality - macros, etc).

It is only loud if you play a higher pitch chime sound but not any louder than most other doorbells. If want to play audio or music it will not resolve your issue.

There are numbers across the top of the keyboard. If you want an excellent wireless keyboard with dedicated number keypad, I'd recommend the Logitech K750 which is amazing.

I have an inexpensive($8.00) Logitech M215 wireless. Works just fine for most applications, the touch pad is okay. I just adjusted the settings until I felt comfortable with it. The keyboard is pretty close to fullsize (minus the number pad).

I don't know. I bought one for side door and one for front door. I use different chime sound for each door.
