5817CB
WIRELESS COMMERCIAL
/
HOUSEHOLD TRANSMITTER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5817CB is a universal contact-monitoring transmitter that can be used with household
and commercial fire and burglary-initiating devices such as door/window contacts, motion
and glassbreak detectors, sprinkler water flow switches, tamper switches, post indicator
valves, manual pull stations, and remote duct detectors. Upon activation, it emits an RF
signal to a control panel that sends a burglary or fire alarm to a central station. The 5817CB
has three unique input loops (zones). The first loop (primary loop) is supervised and typically
used for high-priority alarm reporting such as commercial fire or burglary. It requires a
470K ohm end-of-line resistor to be placed across the sensor. The second loop is the built-in,
normally closed reed switch (used in conjunction with a magnet, as described below). The
third loop is another normally closed household burglary loop. All three loops may be used. A
fourth (automatically enrolled) loop contains two tamper switches to protect the 5817CB
transmitter. A built-in cover tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed. A unit
tamper switch is activated if the unit is separated from its mounting plate.
The 5817CB has its own unique serial number permanently assigned during manufacture.
You must "enroll" this transmitter serial number in the control panel at some point prior to
its usage in the alarm system. Refer to the control panel's installation instructions for
further details.
Note:
During programming of the control panel, program the 5817CB
transmitter as Input Type "RF" (i.e., supervised RF) (mandatory for UL installations).
MOUNTING
For proper orientation of the unit in relation to its wall mounting plate and the loop wiring,
read all of this section before installing the unit. Before mounting the transmitter
permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests (see control's instructions) to verify adequate signal
strength from location. When a satisfactory location is found, remove the battery and proceed
with installation.
The following mounting instructions assume that the unit will be mounted as shown in the
diagrams. The unit may, however, be installed in any direction, as long as the relationship of
the unit to its mounting plate is maintained.
The mounting plate, installed as described below, enables easy removal of the unit for
servicing, should it become necessary.
1. Remove the transmitter's cover by inserting the flat blade of a small screwdriver into
the pry-off slot at the bottom end of the unit on the right side closest to the cover's
decorative ribs and twisting.
2. Disengage the supplied mounting plate from the unit by inserting the blade of a
small screwdriver into the mounting plate release hole (see Diagram 2) and pushing the
locking tab out (see Diagram 1). Slide the mounting plate downward along the case back.
Note
: For this application, the alignment guide strip along one edge of the mounting
plate serves no function and may be broken away, if desired.
3. If
concealed
wiring is to be used, feed the wires through the concealed wiring entry
hole at one corner of the plate (surface wiring is mentioned in Step 5 below).
4. Install the mounting plate, with its case-holding posts pointing up, in the location
selected, as described in the control unit's installation instructions. Use the two flat-head
screws supplied.
Note:
To ensure proper operation of the unit's back tamper (when it is
separated from the mounting plate), the screws must be anchored to a wall stud or other
solid wood material.
5. If
surface wiring
is to be used, remove the knockout slot in the case back (located
across from loop 3 terminal block).
Surface
wiring should enter through this knocked
out space provided. Do not connect the wiring to the terminal block(s) yet.
