Tr "tier Inpti Types

All
of the transmitters describedhave one or more unique factory assigned
input (loop) ID codes.
Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone
(e.g., a 5803's
three inputs require three programming zones). See
APPENDIX A toward the end of this manual.
Transmitters can be learned as one of the following @pes:

Tranmntt " er Battery Life
Batteriesin the wireless transmitters may last from 4-7 years, depending
on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used.
Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large
swings in temperature may all reduce the actual battery life in a given
installation. The wireless systemcan ident@ a im.ze low battery situation,
thus allowingthe dealer or user of the system time to arrange a change of
battery and maintain protectionfor that given point within the system.
Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, and 5803) contain long-life but
non-replaceablebatteries, and no battery installation is required. At the
end of their life, the completeunit must be replaced (and a new serial
number learned by the control).
Button @e transmitters (ex. 5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803) should be
periodicallyteetedfor battery life.
