I bought this keypad to go along with the Skylink SC-001 alarm panel I purchased. It lets you place an additional keypad for easier arming/disarming without having to get to the main panel. So far it has functioned perfectly and I have no complaints with the operation of the unit, especially since it's wireless and looks nice and clean.

I do have a couple wishes for future upgrades to this unit that would make it more functional, although I'm sure it would add to the cost a bit. Anyway, here they are:

-the Keypad Control (KP-434) should show the armed/disarmed status of the alarm. It only has two lights: "Low Battery" and "On". The only time the "On" light comes on is when you are using the keypad.

-the keypad keys should be backlit when you are using it. This might make the battery life shorter however, but it would be a nice feature.

Other than that, I have no issues and highly recommend this product.

this works well. This was helpful for disarming from my bedroom. I wish: it showed if the alarm is on or off. Also at night, you have to hit atleast 1 key for the pad to light up.
Overall, glad I bought it.

Pros: Easy to install, clean look.
Cons: The keypad doesn't give an audible tone for the delayed entry (pre alarm tone). I have located one of the keypads in my basement entry were you can't hear the main panel give you the pre alarm tone. It would be nice if this unit would also give you the pre alarm tone.

The keypad works great. The system is used on a daily basis for nearly 6 months now on the same batteries it came with. Easy to add to my Skylink alarm system. I recommend everyone read the instructions prior to adding to your system, it will save you a lot of time and works great. I am very pleased.

this unit is a great addition to the Skylink base kits. I use this in locations where I don't have power for a base unit but still would like a pad close to the entry. The unit runs on a 12v lithium battery that seems like it will be easy to service when the time comes. The only drawback of the pad as has been noted by others in the lack of backlighting ...I have not found this to be an issue but for some this might be needed. The working range for mine is about 40 feet upstairs and around..(I have it on a lower entry door just inside)

I mounted the Skylink keypad at the garage entrance to the house about 50' from the base unit. It works perfectly and in my case is close enough to the base unit that I can hear the base unit from the keypad location so it is not an issue that the keypad does not have the audio feedback of the base unit.

It was easy to install, less than 15 minutes total including getting out and putting away the tools.

Great keypad, had for over a year now, with no problems. Backlight comes on, when you hit first key. Battery has lasted over a year with no replacement.

I was concern about have the main control panel out in the open, so I bought this keypad control. It really works well and does what is needed.

I know some are concerned that it doesn't receive communications from the control panel, but if I do not know the status, I "disarm" before I "arm" so that I know I am setting it correctly.

I bought one for the front door and plan to buy another for the bedroom. Handy device.

If you need a remote keypad for a skylink system, go for it. No wiring and the instructions were fine on setting it up. Hang it where ever you need it.

This additional keypad works perfectly. It eliminates having to go into another area to arm and disarm saving some time. I love this product.
