5808 Series
Photoelectric
Smoke/Heat
Detector with
built-in wireless
transmitter
FEATURES
The 5808 and 5808C Commercial/Residential Photoelectric Smoke and Heat Detectors have a
built-in wireless transmitter and two concealed thermistors for heat detection. For difficult to
wire locations, room aesthetics or even hazardous materials, like asbsestos above a drop
ceiling, installation of these wireless devices provides the cost effective solution.
The 5808 and 5808C provide versatility for fire detection system designs and represents
ADEMCO’s ability to meet virtually any installation challenge using commercial wireless,
addressable or conventional detection devices.
The 5808/5808C photoelectronic smoke/heat detector with built-in wireless transmitter is
intended for use with wireless alarm systems. The 5808/5808C smoke/heat detector can be
used with 5881 series (L, M, H) for residential and 5881EH receivers for commercial
installations. The transmitter can send alarm, tamper, maintenance (see control panel
specifications) and battery condition messages to the system’s receiver. The maintenance
signal will either indicate that the photochamber requires cleaning or that the detector can no
longer respond to smoke and may need replacement. Refer to the wireless system’s
instructions for the maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.
The 5808 sounds its built-in horn when smoke reaches the detector (the LED also flashes
rapidly) or when the air temperature reaches 135°F (the LED flashes normally, about once
every 40 seconds). A message is also sent to the wireless control panel and the smoke
detector’s ID number is displayed at the console. The alarm message is transmitted every four
seconds until the smoke condition has cleared and the detector has reset. About one second
after the horn stops, a RESTORE message is transmitted to the control panel and the ID
number can be cleared from the panel. During normal, maintenance, and low battery
conditions, the LED flashes approximately once every 40 seconds.
