Rf System Installation Advisories; Installation And Setup Of The 5881 Rf Receivers; Figure 8-1: 5881 Rf Receiver (Cover Removed) - ADEMCO VISTA-32FB Installation And Setup Manual

•
Two identical receivers can be used to provide either a greater area of coverage or
redundant protection.
•
Any zone from 1 to 32 can be used as a 5800 Series wireless zone.

RF System Installation Advisories

•
Place the receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception. Do not place it on or
near metal objects. This will decrease the range and/or block transmissions.
•
For maximum range, install the RF receiver at least 10 feet from the control panel or any
keypads to avoid interference from the microprocessors in these units.
•
If dual receivers are used:
•
Both must be at least 10 feet from each other, as well as from the control panel and
remote keypads.
•
Each receiver must be set to a different device address. The receiver set to the lower
address is considered the first RF receiver for supervisory purposes.
•
The House IDs must be the same.
•
Using two receivers does not increase the number of transmitters the system can support
(32 zones using the 5881H, plus a wireless keypad).

Installation and Setup of the 5881 RF Receivers

1. Mount the receiver. Receivers must be mounted externally to the control and can detect
signals from transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet. Take this into
consideration when determining mounting location.
2. Connect the receiver's wire harness to the Keypad 1 terminals (11, 12, 13, 14). Plug the
connector at the other end of the harness into the receiver.
3. Refer to the Installation Instructions provided with the receiver for further installation
procedures regarding antenna mounting, etc.
