Installing the Transmitters
1. To be sure reception of the transmitter's signal at the proposed mounting location is adequate,
perform a Go/No Go Test, described in the Testing the System section.
2. Install transmitters in accordance with the instructions provided with each.
3. Set 5827, 5827BD, 5804BD wireless keypads to the programmed House ID (field *24), using its
DIP switches (5827) or follow the instructions provided with the device.
ULC NOTE: In accordance with ULC standards, the RF supervision period for the VISTA-10P is three hours for
Fire zones (Zone Type 9 and 16) and 12 hours for all other zone types.
NOTES
• Refer to the table of compatible devices at the back of this manual.
• Supervised transmitters
†
send check-in signals to the receiver at 70-90 minute intervals. If at least
one check-in message is not received from each transmitter within a 12-hour period, the “missing”
transmitter number(s) and “CHECK” is displayed.
† Hand-held transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, 5804, 5804BD, 5827, 5827BD) do not send check-in
signals.

The following transmitters are not intended for use in UL installations: 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD,
5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819WHS & BRS, and 5850.
The 5827BD and 5800TM can be used in UL Listed Residential Burglar installations.
Transmitter Battery Life
• See Wireless Transmitter paragraph in the Limitations of This Alarm System statement located at the end
of this manual for information on transmitter battery life.
• Some transmitters (e.g., 5802 and 5802CP) contain long-life but non-replaceable batteries, and no battery
installation is required. At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced (and a new serial number
enrolled by the control).
• Button-type transmitters (such as 5801, 5802, and 5802CP) should be periodically tested for battery life.
• The 5802MN and 5804 Button Transmitters have replaceable batteries.
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until you are ready to enroll during system programming.
After enrolling, batteries need not be removed.
Installing a Keyswitch
1. Connect the 4146 keyswitch's normally open momentary switch to a zone’s terminals. Remove the
2000 ohm EOL resistor if connected across the selected zone.
2. Using a standard keypad cable as shown:
Connect the yellow and white keyswitch wires to trigger connector pin 3 (+12V).
Connect the Red and Green LED wires to the appropriate output 17/output 18 trigger connector
pins.
3. Connect a 2000 ohm EOL resistor across the momentary switch.
4. You can wire an optional closed-circuit tamper switch (model 112) in series with the zone. If the
switchplate is then removed from the wall, the tamper will open, disabling keyswitch operation
until the system is next disarmed from the keypad.
If the tamper is opened when the system is armed, an alarm will occur.
NOTES
• Use 4146 keyswitch or any N.O. keyswitch.
• When using a keyswitch, the zone it is connected to is no longer available for use as a protective
zone.
• Use *56 Menu mode to program the keyswitch zone and assign it zone type 77.
• Use *80 Menu mode to program the LED functions: program outputs 17 and 18 for system
operation zone type 78 (red LED) and 79 (green LED) as appropriate (see Output Device
Programming section).
