5700 Series Transmitter Setup - ADEMCO VISTA-100 Isntallation Instructions And Programming Manual

5700 Series Transmitter Setup

Each 5700 Series transmitter has DIP switches to set both the transmitter's zone number
(Transmitter ID) and the system House ID. The House ID will be the same for all
transmitters, and must match the House ID programmed into the system for the RF
receiver. This can be likened to a family in which everyone has the same last name (House
ID), but each person has a different first name (Transmitter ID). The zone number must
then be programmed into the system using #93 Menu Mode–Zone Programming Menus.
Transmitter Supervision
• Each transmitter (except 5701 and 5727) is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to
the receiver at 70- to 90-minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from a
transmitter within a certain period of time (programmed in field 1*31), the keypad will
display the zone number and "CHECK."
• Each transmitter (including 5701 and 5727) is also supervised for low-battery conditions,
and will transmit a low-battery signal to the receiver when the battery has
approximately 30 days of life remaining. The keypad will display the transmitter number
and "LO BAT."
Transmitter Battery Life
• Batteries in the wireless transmitters last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the
environment, usage, and specific wireless device being used. External factors such as
humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may reduce the
actual battery life in a given installation. The wireless system can identify a true low-
battery situation, allowing the dealer or user of the system time to arrange a change of
battery and maintain protection for that point within the system.
• You should test unsupervised transmitters periodically for battery life (e.g., 5701).
• After replacing a low or dead battery, activate the transmitter and enter the User Code +
OFF to clear its memory of the "Low Battery" signal.
Installing the Transmitters
A variety of RF system transmitters can be used to make up the wireless zones. These
include window/door units, smoke detectors, PIRs, and panic buttons. Zone number
assignments can be from 1 to 63.
To install RF transmitters, take the following steps:
1. Set the DIP switches on each 5700 Series transmitter to the appropriate zone number
and House ID. Refer to the Compatible Transmitters Table for zone numbers and
programming information for each particular transmitter.
2. Install each transmitter following the instructions provided with the transmitter.
Before permanently mounting the transmitters, verify that reception of each transmitter's signal at
the proposed mounting location is adequate. To do this, perform a Go/No Go Test (See
"Checkout Procedure for Wireless Zones" in Section 29: Testing the System ).
Wireless Zone Assignments for 5700 Series Transmitters
Each RF zone can be assigned any zone response type, such as entry/exit, interior,
perimeter, etc. (see Section 19: Zone Type Definitions for explanations of each zone type).
For 5700 Series transmitters, each response type uses a certain range of zone numbers.
Each range of zone numbers is indicated below:
