Do you have the keypads set to different addresses?

do you have the keypad set to an active partion?

You cannot hook up two receivers to the same panel. Each one of those keypads have a receiver built in. There is a module that will be needed if you absolutely need two receivers for coverage issues. If it is a normal home, you should only need the one and then add just the plain PK5501 keypad for the second location instead of the RK5501-433. I haven't run into too many locations where two receivers were necessary and we do some pretty big homes.

I only have one 5501 and one LED keypad. What I was saying is that I have purchased another new 5501-433 and installed that one keypad on a different DSC 832 system. The new keypad did the same thing as the original key pad (worked about 2 or 3 minutes then only the time is displayed and none of the keys work. I have checked the power and it is 13.8 volts which is normal for the DSC boards. It is as if the keypad burns out after a few minutes.

Are you trying to put the new keypad on an old 832 board or on an 1832 board. The new style keypads will not work with old style boards. However the old keypads will work with the new(1832) boards.

Just flip the system to GE and avoid all the trouble

Or put in a Boinks panel... ;-)
