Honeywell 5800MICRA Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Honeywell 5800MICRA wireless recessed transmitter is a reed switch
magnetic contact transmitter that allows the transmitter to be concealed
from view when installed in a window. It is intended for use only with alarm
systems that support Honeywell 5800 series devices. The transmitter is
powered by a long-life lithium battery that is easily replaceable when a low
battery is indicated by the control panel.
Programming the Serial Number
Each 5800MICRA has its own unique serial number permanently assigned
during manufacturing.
The control panel is used to "enroll" the transmitter's ID during installation of
the alarm system. The zones input type should be as "RF" (i.e. Supervised RF)
Type.
Refer to the control panel's installation instructions for further details.
PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS
Read all of this and the next section before installing the unit.
1. Select a location for the transmitter on the frame of the window.
Do not use on metal frame doors or windows.
5800MICRA TRANSMITTER
The 5800MICRA transmitter will require a 3/4" diameter hole (using
a 3/4" Forstner bit) drilled into the edge of the window frame no more
than 11/32" deep.
BEFORE DRlLLlNG ANY HOLES, SEE ITEM 2 BELOW AND MOUNTlNG
SECTION ON PAGE 2.
FORVINYL SLIDINGWINDOWS the preferred direction of mounting is vertical.
FOR HUNG WINDOWS the 5800MICRA must be mounted horizontally in the
window sill with the accompanying magnet mounted on the lower window sash.
(see Step 1 - Measure & Drill in Figure 1)
2. Before drilling any holes, tape the transmitter and magnet in their
approximate locations (with battery installed and unit together as
described under BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT;
and conduct Go/No Go tests (
see control's instructions
adequate signal strength. Reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.
Make sure that no more than a 1/2" gap will be present between the faces
of the transmitter and magnet cases when they are installed and set. Also make
sure the graphic on the transmitter and magnet is perpendicular to the length
of the magnet per Step 3.
When installed, an alarm signal must be obtained before a clear space of 2"
is reached as the window is opened.
Under no circumstances should the outer wall of the window
frame be penetrated by the Forstner bit.
A drill stop can be used to ensure the outer wall of the window
frame is not damaged.

Measure 3" down from the inside top corner of the
mainframe and mark the center point for the hole the
5800MICRA transmitter will be inserted into.
Place a corresponding mark also on the sash where the
magnet will be placed.
