Transmitter Battery Life
Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until you are ready to enroll the transmitters during
system programming. After enrolling, batteries need not be removed.
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,
extreme temperatures, as well as large temperature variations 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 5804) contain long-life but nonreplaceable
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, 5802MN/MN2, 5802CP, and 5804) should be
periodically tested for battery life.
The 5802MN and 5804 Button Transmitters have replaceable batteries.
Using the Transmitter Sniffer Mode
To use the transmitter Sniffer mode, perform the following steps:
1.
Enter Installer code (4112) + # + 3 on keypad. This initiates a procedure that verifies
that all transmitters have been properly programmed.
2.
The keypad displays all zone numbers of wireless units programmed into the system.
Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal, rather than let each
transmitter send an automatic supervisory signal.
As the system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that
transmitter disappears from the display. The transmitters may be checked upon
installation, or in an installed system.
3.
After all transmitters have been checked, exit the Sniffer mode by keying 4112 (Installer
code) + OFF.
NOTE: Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode
by keying Installer code + OFF key to return to normal operation. Sniffer mode also
terminates if a user arms the system from a console or a compatible wireless keypad.
Use of any RF devices other than a wireless keypad while in Sniffer Mode may cause
unpredicable results.
