You "can" program almost the either panel without the 6139, you only =
need it for zone programming. Most of the time I don't install a =
programming keypad, but I always carry one on the truck...with long =
alligator clip leads on it. Any user programming can be done without the =
6139. I highly discourage homeowners from programming their system if I =
am monitoring it...actually I don't allow it at all. If this is y our =
house  you're talking about then install a 6139 or the newer programming =
keypad...I think the 6160 can program but double check on that..I cant =
remember fer sure.

There's also a secret way of programming without the 6139 but it's kinda =
goofy, so I don't do it much.
