Section 8 – Wireless Zone Expansion
8-5
For button-type transmitters (wireless keys), such as the 5804, 5804BD, 5803, 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 when learned.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters that may be carried off premises (5802, 5802CP, 5803, 5804,
5827, and 5827BD), 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 programmed period (field 1∗31), the “missing” transmitter
number(s) and “CHECK” or “TRBL” will be displayed.
The supervision for a particular transmitter that may be carried off the premises (5801,
5802MN) may be turned off by learning it as a “UR” (unsupervised RF) type, as described
later in this manual.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate a “CHECK” or
“TRBL” condition if covers are removed.
Transmitter Input Types
All of the transmitters described have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) codes.
Each of the inputs requires its own programming zone (e.g., a 5804’s four-button inputs
require four programming zones).
Transmitters can be programmed as one of the following types:
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.
Transmitter Battery Life
• Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the
environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. Factors such as
humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature may all
reduce the actual battery life in a given installation.
• The wireless system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or
user of the system time to arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that
given point within the system.
• Some transmitters (e.g., 5802, 5802CP, and 5803) contain long-life but nonreplaceable
batteries. At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced (and a new serial
number learned by the control).
• Button-type transmitters (e.g., 5801, 5802, 5802CP & 5803) should be periodically tested
by the installer for battery life.
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to learn, as will be indicated under
Programming the RF Transmitters
later in this section.. After learning, batteries need not be
removed.
