If you have two keypads that require the same voltage... say 24volts (I'm not an CI, so Idk the voltages...) And they each come with a transformer rated for 5amps and each, according to the name plate on the keypad they draw 2amps.

FYI, since I know you like to educate yourself -- alarm keypads are 12VDC.
Because they're DC and not AC, they require a power supply that converts AC into DC.
Transformers only step AC voltages up or down.
Alarm panels take 16 or 24 VAC and convert it to 12VDC to power keypads, motion detectors and send trickle voltage on zone loops etc.
