Receiver Supervision

Installation and Setup of the 4281/5881 Wireless Receivers
www.PDF-Zoo.com
The supervision for a particular transmitter in the 5800 system may be turned
off by entering it as a "UR" (unsupervised RF) type, as described later.
5800 series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will cause a
"CHECK" condition to be annunciated if covers are removed.
Each transmitter is also supervised for low battery and will transmit a low bat-
tery signal to its receiver, with the battery having at least 30 days of life remain-
ing. A low battery message and appropriate zone number will appear on a
wired keypad's display.
If a 5727, 5827, or 5827BD wireless keypad has a low battery, it will be
displayed as Zone "00" when it transmits.
Note : After a low or dead battery is replaced, activate the transmitter and
then enter the security code + OFF to clear the system's memory of
the "Low Battery" signal.

Transmitter Battery Life

• Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4-7 years, depending on
the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used.
External 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 system can identify a true low battery situation,
thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to arrange a change of
battery and maintain protection for that given point within the system.
• Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP) contain long-life but non-
replaceable batteries. At the end of their life, the complete unit must be
replaced (and a new serial number entered into the control).
• Button type transmitters (e.g.,. 5802, 5802CP, 5804) should be periodically
tested by the user for battery life.
The receiver itself is supervised. A tamper report (zone 9) will be generated:
a) If communication with the receiver is interrupted
or
b) If valid RF signals are not received within 12 hours from at least one
supervised wireless transmitter (if any are included in the system)
Wireless System Installation Advisories
Disregard the following advisories if the receiver is mounted in the control
cabinet as described in the INSTALLING THE CONTROL section.
1. Place the receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception. Do
not place receiver on or near metal objects. This will decrease the range
and/or block transmissions. Do not mount receivers or transmitters in an
attic, where extreme temperatures could prevent proper operation.
2. The house IDs must be entered for the receiver (applies only to 5700 RF
system or if using a 5827/5827BD wireless keypad in a 5700 or 5800 RF
system).
1. Mount the receiver(s) if not installed previously in the control cabinet, as
indicated in the INSTALLING THE CONTROL section. Receivers can
detect signals from transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet. Take
this into consideration when determining mounting location outside of the
cabinet.
2. Make sure that the receiver's DIP switches are set for device address "0",
as shown in Figure 8 (all switches to the right...OFF).
3. Connect the receiver's wire harness to the control's keypad terminals (4, 5,
6, and 7). Plug the connector at the other end of the harness into the
receiver (see Figure 8).
4. Refer to the receiver's installation instructions for further installation
instructions regarding antenna mounting, etc.
