Transmitter Battery Life
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to enter their serial
numbers (described in the *83 Sequential Mode programming section). After
entering a transmitter's serial number, batteries need not be removed.
• Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4–7 years,
depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless
device being used.
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 point within the system.
• Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP) contain long-life but
nonreplaceable batteries, and no battery installation is required.
At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced (and a
new serial number entered by the control).
• Button-type transmitters (eg., 5801, 5802, 5802CP) should be
periodically tested for battery life.
• The 5802MN and 5804 button transmitters have replaceable
batteries.
Using the Transmitter Sniffer Mode
Use this mode after all transmitters have been entered to check that all transmitters have been properly programmed.
1. Enter Installer code (4112) + # + 3.
Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system will not go
into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes and try again.
2. The keypad will display all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the system. Fault each transmitter in
turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone
number of that transmitter will disappear from the display. The transmitters may be checked upon installation, or
in an installed system.
3. When all transmitters have been checked, exit the Sniffer mode by keying Installer Code (4112) + OFF.
NOTES:
• Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit (Installer Code + OFF) Sniffer mode to return
to normal operation. Sniffer mode also terminates if a user arms the system.
• All BR-type units must physically be activated to clear the display, since they do not automatically send check-in
signals.
• When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other buttons on that
transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters which have multiple loops (zones).
• Any transmitter that is not "entered" will not turn off its zone number.
Go/No Go Test Mode
The Go/No Go tests will verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and allow you to
reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently.
This mode is similar to the transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. This will enable
you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal amplitude when the
system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter Installer Code (4112) + [#] + 8.
2. Once you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be run to
sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter. Do not conduct this test
with your hand wrapped around the transmitter, as this will cause inaccurate results.
Note: On button type transmitters whose buttons have been set to Arm AWAY, Arm STAY, or Disarm,
pressing a button will take the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode and cause that action.
a. The keypad will beep three times to indicate signal reception and display the appropriate zone number.
b. If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location. Usually a few inches in
either direction is all that is required.
4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently mount
each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
5. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: Installer Code (4112) + OFF.
