Hello group,

I am thinking of adding some keypads to my system.
I have a 5010 with a wireless (433mHz) keypad. I have 17 zones listed on the
door.

I would have liked to add 2 5500's but finding a used one at a "good price"
might take some time.

Will an LCD5501z work just as well in my current setup?
I do not know if there is a zone limit or what on these keypads. What is the
difference in the two types (5501/5500)??

Is there going to be any sort of programming needed after the extra keypad
is hooked up for either the 5501 or the 5500 ??

Thanks.

Yes you can add the 5501's and yes you will need to address the keypads so
they can be supervised. It's in the manual.

I offered you a used (like new) LCD5500Z for $50. What do you consider a
"good price"?
The 5500 is a custom text LCD, (You can enter custom zone descriptions) and
the 5501 is fixed text that gives just the zone numbers (01, 02, etc.) and
is more like what you already have.

Thanks for the info JS.
As for prices, I should ask if you are located in the US or Canada. I have
currency exchange to consider, shipping, and most likely taxes on the
import.
I have seen 5500's sell for 40 to 50 US over the last few days on EBAy.
