ADEMCO 5809
Rate-Of-Rise Heat Detector
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 5809 Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector is a wireless
device used with ADEMCO alarm systems that support 5800
series devices.
The 5809 combine both rate-of-rise and fixed temperature
sensors. The 5809’s rate-of-rise thermostat senses the rise in
temperature and signals an alarm if the rise is 15
°
F (8
°
C) or
more per minute. Fires typically cause a rapid rise in
temperature in the surrounding area. A built-in fixed
temperature sensor will also signal an alarm if the ambient
temperature rises above 135
°
F (57
°
C).
WARNING:
The 5809’s fixed temperature sensor will be
permanently damaged if the 5809 is installed, stored or shipped
in environments where temperature exceeds 120
°
F.
NOTES:
•
If the fixed temperature sensor activates, the 5809
must be replaced.
•
An installation site where the ambient temperature
exceeds 100
°
F for extended periods is not
recommended.
A 3-volt lithium battery powers the 5809. If the battery voltage
gets too low, the 5809 send a low battery signal to the control
panel.
The 5809 also include a tamper switch, which causes a trouble
signal to be sent to the control if the unit is removed from the
mounting base.
A built-in activation button, located on the detector assembly, is
used when programming the unit’s serial number at the control
and when testing the unit.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
Important Notes:
•
Use 3-volt lithium battery: Duracell DL 123A or
Panasonic/Sanyo/Varta/Tekcell CR123A.
•
Observe polarity.
•
When replacing the battery, wait at least 30 seconds
after removing the old battery, before installing the
new one.
Remove the detector assembly from its mounting base and
install a 3-volt lithium battery as shown below.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT
The transmitter’s serial number must be enrolled in the control
panel before usage in the system. Refer to the Installation and
Setup Guide for which this device is to be used for
programming procedures for enrolling transmitter serial
numbers. Before programming do the following:
1.
Remove the detector assembly from its mounting base by
twisting the detector assembly counter-clockwise and
withdraw from the base.
2.
Install the battery (if not already installed). Observe
polarity!
3.
Enter the control’s programming mode and follow the
control’s programming instructions. When programming
this transmitter at the control, note the following:
•
Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)
•
Loop number = 1
Transmit from the detector when prompted (momentarily
depress the activation button shown below). You can also
manually enter the detector’s serial number.
4.
Test the detector after enrolling into the system. Refer to
the Testing section.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
You can mount the 5809 on a wall or ceiling within the
protection area:
•
Wall Mounting: Mount the detector 4” - 6” from the
ceiling.
•
Ceiling Mounting: Mount the detector at least 4” from
any wall. Make sure the normal ceiling temperature
will not exceed 100
°
F.
•
Refer to NFPA Standard 72 for detector spacing and
other requirements. Maximum spacing for UL
installations is 50’x50’.
•
Avoid mounting the detector near heat generating
devices (e.g. ovens, heat vents, furnaces, boilers).
IMPORTANT:
Heat detectors should be used for property protection.
Reliance should not be placed solely on heat detectors for
life safety. When life safety is involved, smoke detectors
MUST also be used. Detectors must not be painted.
WIRELESS TRANSMISSION PATH TEST
A good RF transmission path must be established from the
proposed mounting location before permanently installing the
detector. To determine that there is good signal reception from
the proposed location, perform the test procedure described in
TESTING THE DETECTOR section.
Once a good RF transmission path is confirmed, mount the
detector as follows:
