Installing Wireless Zones
General Information
Zones: The control supports up to 24 wireless zones using 5800 Series transmitters, and up to 16
wireless buttons.
Range: The built-in RF receiver can detect signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal
range of 200 feet.
Transmitters: 5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be entered into the
system using the ✻56 or ✻83 interactive mode, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800
Series transmitters (except the 5800RL and 5827, described separately) do not have DIP switches.
Each transmitter's zone number is programmed into the system in ✻56 mode. 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.
U
L
The 5816 and 5817 Transmitters do not have EOL supervision of their loop wiring. Therefore, for
UL Household Burglary installations, the loop wiring may not exceed 3 feet.
The 5800RL, 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5804WATCH, 5814, 5816TEMP,
5819, 5819S(WHS & BRS), and 5850(GBD) transmitters are not intended for any UL installations.
For button transmitters (RF "keys") such as the 5804 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, which is automatically displayed.
House Identification
If you are using a 5804BD/5804BDV, or 5827 Wireless Keypad with
the system, you must program a House ID Code (01–31) in field ✻24
to establish proper communication, and the keypad must be set to
the same ID. House ID 00 disables all wireless keypads. An RF
House ID is not necessary for other 5800 Series transmitters; the
entry should be left at “00” (default) in those cases. The 5827 reports
low battery status as zone “00”.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters/keypads that may be carried off-
premises (5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5804WATCH, and
5827), 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 12-
hour period, the "missing" transmitter number(s) and "FAULT" will
be displayed. The supervision for a particular transmitter in the
system that may also be carried off the premises (5801, 5802MN)
may be turned off by entering it as a "UR" (unsupervised RF) type,
as described in the ✻56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode section.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will
annunciate as a fault condition if covers are removed.

Transmitter Input Types
Each of the following transmitters has one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) ID codes.
Each of the inputs requires a programming zone
(e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four button zones).
Transmitters can be entered as one of the following types
(see transmitter’s instructions for appropriate
input type)
:
Type Description
"RF" (Supervised RF) Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low battery signals. The
transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
"UR" (Unsupervised RF) Sends all the signals that the "RF" type does, but the control does not supervise the
check-in signals. The transmitter may therefore be carried off-premises.
"BR" (Unsupervised Button RF) These only send fault signals. They do not send low battery signals until they are
activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.
