Before installing detectors, please thoroughly read these
installation instructions and Manual I56-407, Guide for
Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors, which provides
detailed information on detector spacing, placement,
zoning, wiring, and special applications. Copies of this
manual are available from ADEMCO.
NOTICE:
This manual should be left with the owner/user
of this equipment.
IMPORTANT:
This detector must be tested and
maintained regularly. The detector should be cleaned at
least once a year.
WARNING:
Do not use the maintenance signal as an
indication that the detector has reached the limits of its
nominal sensitivity range. Maintenance only indicates that
the detector may need cleaning or can no longer respond
to smoke and shall not be used as a sensitivity indicating
means.
General Description
The ADEMCO 5808EU photoelectronic smoke/heat
detector with built-in wireless transmitter is intended for
use with wireless alarm systems that support 5800 series
devices. Refer to control communicator installation
instructions for compatibility. The 5808EU smoke/heat
detector can be used with 5882EU, 6128RF-IT, and
6128RF-SP transceivers for residential installations. The
5808EU smoke/heat detector can be used with the
5882EU transceiver and the Prometheus Fire Control for
commercial installations. The transmitter can send alarm,
tamper, maintenance (when control panels are equipped
to process maintenance signals such as the VISTA-120
and PROMETHEUS), and battery condition messages to
the system's receiver. The maintenance signal will
indicate either that the photo chamber 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.
When smoke reaches the detector, the 5808EU’s LED
flashes rapidly at a once-per-second rate. When the air
temperature reaches 57°C, the LED flashes slowly, 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 4 seconds until the smoke condition
has cleared and the detector has reset. 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 does
not flash.
Battery Installation and Replacement
The 5808EU is powered by two 3-volt CR123A or
DL123A Lithium batteries (included). The detector checks
for low batteries at every supervisory transmission. If a
low battery is detected, the transmitter sends a low-
battery message to the control panel, which beeps and
displays the detector's ID. This trouble-condition message
can be displayed for a minimum of 30 days. The batteries
should be replaced BEFORE the error messages begin.
BE SURE TO REPLACE BOTH BATTERIES WITH NEW
ONES.
To replace batteries:
(Refer to Figure 8.)
1. Remove the detector from its mounting plate by
twisting the detector counterclockwise. Remove
batteries, if replacing, and dispose properly.
2. Install two new 3-volt CR123A Lithium batteries in the
battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram
inside the compartment.
3. Reinstall the smoke detector onto the mounting plate
by turning the detector clockwise.
4. Test the detector as described in the TESTING
TRANSMITTER SIGNAL section of this manual (page
3). If the batteries are not installed correctly, the smoke
detector will not operate and the batteries may be
damaged. If the detector does not appear to be
sending a signal during any of the tests, check for
correct battery installation.

Programming
Each 5808EU has its own unique serial number that you
must enroll in the control panel during installation. Assign
each detector to a zone number and designate wireless
attributes for the zone as noted below.
Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)
Loop No. = 1
The serial number can be enrolled by one of the following
methods:
1. Transmit from the device by pressing the test button
on the detector twice to cause two transmissions at the
“Input S/N” prompt.
2. Enter the serial number (printed on the detector’s
label) from the keypad at the “Input S/N” prompt.
3. Enter the serial number (printed on the detector’s
label) through the downloader.
Refer to the control panel’s installation instructions for
further details.
Smoke Detector Limitations
•
Smoke detectors will not sense a fire if the smoke
does not reach the sensor or if the air temperature
does not reach 57°C.
In order for a smoke detector to
sense smoke, it must be installed in the immediate
vicinity of the fire. In addition, smoke from fires in
chimneys, in walls, on roofs, in remote parts of the
building, or on another level from where the smoke
detector is located may not reach the smoke detector
quickly enough for occupants to escape unharmed.
For this reason, installer shall install smoke
detectors on every level, in every sleeping area,
and in every bedroom of the household.
•
The fire alarm sound may not be heard.
If the fire
alarm sounder is not located in the same room as the
occupant, or if it is blocked by a closed door or normal
noise, the alarm sound may not be heard. In addition,
sound sleepers or persons who are under the
influence of drugs or alcohol may not hear the alarm or
be able to react to it.
Therefore, locate alarm
sounders on every level, in every sleeping area,
and in every bedroom of the household.
•
In general, detectors may not always warn you
about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards
like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded
electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or
arson.
•
Smoke detectors are not foolproof.
Like all electronic
devices, smoke detectors have limitations. No type
of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire
every time. In addition, smoke from slow,
smoldering fires rises slowly and may not reach
the smoke detector until actual flame breaks out.
This type of smoke may not reach the smoke
detector in time for occupants to escape
unharmed.
•
Smoke detectors are not a substitute for life or
property insurance.
Though smoke detectors have
been responsible for saving many lives, they are not
warranted or implied to protect lives or property in the
event of a fire.
•
To keep your equipment in excellent working order,
ongoing maintenance is required per the
manufacturer’s recommendations. A preventative
maintenance agreement should be arranged through
the local manufacturer’s representative. Though
smoke detectors are designed for long life, they may
fail at any time. Any smoke detector, fire alarm
equipment, or any component of that system which
fails shall be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

WARNING:
Observe all local and national building and
electrical codes.

Where Smoke Detectors Should NOT Be Installed:
•
In or near areas where combustion particles are
normally present, such as kitchens; in garages
where there are particles of combustion in vehicle
exhausts;
near furnaces, hot water heaters, or gas
space heaters. Install detectors at least 6 meters
away from kitchens and other areas where
combustion particles are normally present.
•
On the ceiling in rooms next to kitchens
where
there is no transom between the kitchen and these
rooms. Instead, install the smoke detector on an inside
wall, farthest from the kitchen (See Figure 5). Be sure
not to install smoke detectors within 10cm of the
ceiling or any corner, or more than 16cm from the
ceiling.

•
In damp or very humid areas, or next to bathrooms
with showers.
The moisture in humid air can enter the
sensing chamber as water vapor, then cool and
condense into droplets that cause a nuisance alarm.
Install detectors at least 1.5 meters away from
bathrooms.
•
In very cold or very hot rooms or areas.
Operating
temperature of the smoke detector is 0°C to 38°C.
•
In dusty, dirty, or insect-infested areas.
Dust and
dirt can build up on the detector’s sensing chamber
and make it overly sensitive, or can block openings to
the sensing chamber and keep the detector from
sensing smoke.
•
Near fresh-air inlets or returns, or excessively
drafty areas.
Air conditioners, heaters, fans, and fresh
air intakes and returns can drive smoke away from
smoke detectors, making the detectors less effective.
•
In dead air spaces
at the top of a peaked ceiling or
wall/ceiling intersect. Dead air may prevent smoke
from reaching a detector.
•
Near fluorescent light fixtures.
Install detectors at
least 3 meters away from such light fixtures.
What to do in Case of Fire
1.
DON’T PANIC
— escape may depend on clear
thinking.
2. Get out of the house, following the planned escape
routes, if possible. Do not stop to dress or to collect
anything.
3. Open doors carefully only after feeling them to see if
they are hot. If a door is hot, do not open it— follow an
alternate escape route.
4. Keep close to the floor — smoke and hot gases rise.
Breathe through a cloth (wet, if possible) and take
short shallow breaths.
5. Keep doors and windows closed unless it is necessary
to open them for escape.
6. Meet at your meeting place after leaving your home.
7. Call the local fire department as soon as possible from
outside the home.
8. Never re-enter a burning building.
For more information about fire safety, contact your local
fire department. They can supply more detailed
information about making your home as free from fire
hazards as possible and about planning for escape in
case of fire.
Mounting
First, determine the best location for the smoke detector;
a location that provides strong wireless transmission
paths and proper smoke detection. A GOOD
TRANSMISSION PATH MUST BE ESTABLISHED
FROM THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION
BEFORE PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE
DETECTOR. To check, perform the test described in the
TESTING TRANSMITTER SIGNAL section of this
manual. To mount the detector:
1. Once a suitable location has been determined, install
the mounting bracket on the ceiling or on the wall (if
local ordinances permit). Use the two screws and
anchors provided.
2. Prior to mounting the detector to the mounting bracket,
the system must enroll the detector's ID. Refer to the
PROGRAMMING section on page 1 for the procedural
steps to follow.
3. Turn the detector in a clockwise direction in the
mounting bracket until it clicks into place.
