INTRODUCTION  

The 5883 RF Transceiver Module: 

x

  contains an RF receiver and a transmitter, 

x

  is intended for use with 5800 series RF transmitters, including bi-

directional wireless units (e.g. 5804BD), and the 5800RL Wireless 
Relay Module (see Fig. 1), 

x

 

receives alarm, status, and control messages from 5800 
transmitters, and passes these messages to the control panel via 
wired connections, which then responds accordingly (arm/disarm the 
system, initiate an alarm, etc.), 

x

 transmits system status and other conditions to bi-directional 

devices (e.g., 5804BD), 

x

  emulates the functions of a 5800TM module, and can control the 

relays on the 5800RL Wireless Relay Module, 

x

  features a Spatial Diversity system that virtually eliminates the 

possibility of "Nulls" and "Dead Spots" within the coverage area, 

x

  incorporates new high-security encryption technology (UL-864 and 

RF Jam Detect), 

x

  supports the number of zones shown in the chart at  right. 

 

 

RF Zones Supported 

5883M 

Up to 16 zones 

5883H 

Depends on the control with which it is used. See the 
control panel’s instructions for specific details. 

If "SET UP ERROR" (alpha keypads) or "E4 or “E8”" (fixed-word 
keypads) is displayed on the system's keypad, it indicates that 
more than the permitted number of wireless zones have been 
programmed, and none of the zones will be protected.

MOUNT THE MODULE OR PC BOARD 

The 5883 can be mounted remotely, or, with some controls, can be mounted inside the control's cabinet.  
When mounting, make sure the antennas do not touch any metal surfaces.  

 

First, Check for RF Interference:

 

Before mounting permanently, 

use the red RF Interference LED (see figure 3) to check for strong 
local radio frequency interference at the intended mounting location. 
If this LED is continuously lit, the 5883 module should be relocated.  

Removing the Cover 

Remove the 5883's cover by inserting and twisting a screwdriver blade 
in the slot at the center of the cover's lower edge.  

 

Replace the cover when installation is complete if unit is not mounted 
within a cabinet.  

 

Mounting inside the control's cabinet

 (refer to Fig. 2):

 

1. Remove the 5883’s circuit board from its base by bending back the 

two flexible plastic tabs that hold the board's lower edge. Discard 
the 5883's unused plastic cover and base. 

2. In the control's cabinet, unfasten and move the control circuit board 

downward (if already installed). 

3. Hang two short (black) mounting clips (provided) on the raised 

cabinet tabs in the cabinet, as shown in Detail B of Figure 2. 

4. Insert the top of the 5883’s board into the supporting slots at the top 

of the cabinet (Detail A). Swing the bottom of the board into the two 
short (black) mounting clips installed in step 3, and secure it to the 
cabinet with the accompanying screws. See Detail B. 

5. Insert the top of the control’s board into the slot in the black clips 

holding the lower edge of the 5883 board (see Detail B); position two 
long (red) clips at the lower edge of the board (see Detail C). 

6. Swing the lower edge of the control board into place, and secure with 

two additional screws.  

7. Insert the grounding lugs (provided) through the top of the cabinet 

and into the left-hand terminals of the antenna blocks (at the upper 
edge of the 5883's circuit board). Secure it to the cabinet with the 
two screws provided. See Detail D.  

8. Insert the 5883’s two antennas through the two openings in the top 

of the cabinet, one into each block’s right-hand terminal, and tighten 
the screws to secure them.  

9. Affix the 5883's Summary of Connections label to the inside of the 

control's cabinet door.

(Check the control’s Installation and Setup Guide for applicability.) 

Mounting the 5883 remotely 

NOTE: If mounting the 5883 in its own enclosure, the supplied PCB 
mounting clips, grounding lugs, and screws are not needed. 

1. All wiring between the 5883 and the control panel must be located 

in a conduit. 

2. 

For concealed wiring, route wires through the rectangular opening at 
the rear of the base before mounting. For surface wiring entry, a thin 
breakaway area is provided along the base's right edge.

 

3. Mount the module in the selected location. For greatest security, 

use all four mounting holes (two keyslot holes and two round holes) 
in the plastic base. (Refer to Detail D in Figure 2 above.) 

4. Install each antenna in the respective right-hand terminal of the 

two terminal blocks at the upper edge of the 5883’s circuit board, 
and tighten the screws to secure them. 

5. Affix the 5883's Summary of Connections label to the inside of the 

housing cover.
