INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Each No. 5817 Multi-Point Universal Transmitter may have three contact loops connected

to it. Each loop transmits a unique ID code to a 5800 wireless system receiver connected to

the system control panel. The Primary Loop has several DIP switch selectable options that

determine its connection requirements, response, and transmis sion characteris tics (see

DIP switch setting table on next page). The two Auxiliary Loops are closed-circuit, with a

nominal response time of 100 mSec. For UL installations, no contact in any of the loops

may be more than 3 feet from the transmitter.

A built-in cover tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.

LEARNING THE TRANSMITTER IDs

Each No. 5817 has its own unique identification codes permanently assigned dur ing manu-

facture. It is not neces sary to program the transmitter IDs during installation. Instead, the

control unit is required to "learn" the transmitter IDs at some point prior to the transmitter's

usage in the alarm system.

The control unit's installation manual contains general information on the "learning" proce-

dure, but the information given herein pertains specifically to the 5817.

1. Place a 3V battery in the battery holder, as described later in BATTERY INSTALLA -

TION / REPLACEMENT and as shown in Diagram 2. Observe polarity!

2. Make sure that the DIP switch's 4 positions (see Diagram 2) are all OFF.

3. Set the system ready for learning the ID code of one of the 5817's loops (inputs) to

be used, as described in the control's instructions. The 5817 should be treated as "RF"

(i.e., supervised RF) Type (mandatory for UL installations) .

4. Proceed with learning the inputs of the loops to be used, as described in the con-

trol's instructions.

INSTALLATION

Mounting

For proper orientation of the unit in relation to its wall mounting plate and the loop wiring,

read all of this section before in stalling the unit.

The description that follows assumes that the unit will be mounted as shown in the dia-

grams. The unit may, however, be installed in any direction, as long as the relationship of

the unit to its mounting plate is maintained.

Although two holes are provided in the unit that would permit mounting directly to a sur face

(holes 'A' in Diagram 2), it is recom mended that the mounting plate be used, as described

below, 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 in-

structions) to verify adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate the transmitter if nec -

essary. When a satisfactory location is found, remove the battery and proceed with installa-

tion.

1. Remove the transmitter's cover by inserting the flat blade of a small screwdriver into

the pry-off slot at the end of the unit farthest from the cover's decorative ribs, and twist -

ing the blade. Note : The open slot at the other end of the unit cannot be used as a

cover pry-off.

2. Disengage the supplied mounting plate from the unit by inserting the blade of a

small screwdriver into the locking tab release window (see Di agram 2) and pressing it

against the locking tab (see Diagram 1) while sliding the plate down ward along the case

back. Note : For this application, the alignment guide strip along one edge of the plate

serves no function and may be broken away, if desired.
