5800 Series Transmitter Setup

5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be "learned" by the system
using the #93 Menu Mode Programming, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800
Series transmitters (except 5827, described separately) do not have DIP switches.
Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can support more than one "zone" (referred to
as loops or inputs). On the 5816, for example, the wire connection terminal block is Loop 1,
the reed contact is Loop 2. Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.
For button-type transmitters (wireless keys), such as the 5804, 5804BD, 5803, and 5801, you
must assign a unique zone number to each individual button used on the transmitter. Each
button on the transmitter also has a pre-designated loop or input number.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters that may be carried off premises (5802, 5802CP, 5803, 5804,
5827, and 5827BD), each transmitter is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to the
receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from each
supervised transmitter within a programmed period (field 1∗31), the "missing" transmitter
number(s) and "CHECK" or "TRBL" will be displayed.
The supervision for a transmitter may be turned off by learning it as a "UR" (unsupervised
RF) type, as described later in this manual.
Some 5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate a
"CHECK" or "TRBL" condition if covers are removed.
Transmitter Input Types
All of the transmitters described have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) codes.
Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four-button inputs
require four programming zones).
Transmitters can be programmed as one of the following types:
Type
RF
(Supervised RF)
UR
(Unsupervised RF)
BR
(Unsupervised Button RF)
Transmitter Battery Life
•
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 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 system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing time to arrange a
change of battery and maintain protection for that given point within the system.
•
Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, and 5803) contain long-life but nonreplaceable batteries.
At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced (and a new serial number
learned by the control).
•
Button-type transmitters (e.g., 5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803) should be periodically tested
for battery life.
•
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to learn. After learning, batteries
need not be removed.
•
Before mounting transmitters permanently, conduct Go/No Go Tests to verify the signal
strength and reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary. See the Testing the System
section.
Description
Sends periodic Check-in signals, as well as Fault, Restore, and Low
Battery signals. The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
Sends all the signals that the RF type does, but the control does not
supervise the Check-in signals. The transmitter may be carried off-
premises.
These only send Fault signals. They do not send Low Battery signals
until they are activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.
