Honeywell Home ADEMCO 5815 Installation And Setup Manual

Figure 1. Mounting Plate and Case
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Honeywell Ademco 5815
Door/Window Transmitter that has its own unique serial
number. The control unit is required to "enroll" the serial
number prior to its usage in the alarm system. Refer to
the control unit's installation instructions for further
details. Note: During programming of the control unit,
5815 transmitters should be treated as "RF" (i.e.,
supervised RF) Type (mandatory for UL installations).
The 5815 provides two input loops (zones): the first for a
wired closed-circuit contact loop, and the second for its
built-in reed switch (used in conjunction with a magnet,
as described below). One or both inputs may be used.
For UL installations, a contact may not be more than 3
feet from the transmitter.
The 5815 includes a built-in cover tamper, which is
activated when the cover is removed.
MOUNTING
For proper orientation of the unit in relation to the
mounting plate, loop wiring, and/or magnet, read all of
this section before installing the unit.
The description that follows assumes that the unit will be
mounted as shown in the diagrams, with the magnet (if
used) located in one of the positions shown in Figure 2.
The unit may, however, be installed in any direction, as
long as the relationship of the unit to its mounting plate
and (if used) magnet is maintained.
Although the unit can be mounted directly to a surface,
we recommend that the mounting plate be used, for
ease in removing the unit for servicing should it become
necessary.
Before mounting the transmitter permanently, conduct
Go/No Go tests (see control's instructions) to verify
adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate the
transmitter if necessary.
1. Remove the transmitter's top cover by inserting
the flat blade of a small screwdriver into the pry-off
slot at one end of the unit (see Fig. 1 for location),
and slightly twisting the blade until the cover
disengages.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE the circuit board from
the back case plastic.

LOOP WIRING CONNECTIONS
With the battery still not inserted, connect the contact
loop wires to the unit's loop terminals (see Figure 2).
Caution: Make sure that the bared sections of the
loop wires do not short to the reed switch or
antenna.
The contact loop must use closed-circuit devices. The
loop response time is a nominal 100mSec.
NOTE: If the contact loop is not to be used, no
connection is needed across the loop terminals.

location selected as described in the control panel's
installation instructions. Use the flat-head screws
supplied.
Note: If a wired contact loop is to be used, with
concealed wiring, the wire exit hole in the wall must
be located under the wire entry hole in the case as
shown in Figure 2, and no more than 1/4" in
diameter.
