SET THE DIP SWITCHES 

Use the DIP switches to set the 5883H’s device address, to enable 
the built-in transmitter, and to check or delete encrypted keys. 

 

Addresses:

 

The 5883H Transceiver has two device addresses: one 

for the receiver (addresses 1-7) and one for the transmitter 
(addresses 27-30, similar to the 5800TM device addresses; see 
notes 5 and 6 below). First, select a pair of addresses from the table 
below, making sure that neither address is currently being used in 
the alarm system, then use DIP switches 2-4 to set the address 
pair. The addresses should then be programmed in the control. Do 
not program the transmitter’s address in the control if the 5883H 
is not being used with 5800TM compatible devices.

NOTE: If using more than one 5883H in a system, enable the 

transmitter in only one 5883H.

paragraph); otherwise leave OFF 

 

 

also address “0.” See VISTA-15P/20P note at right. 

 

NOTES: 

 

DIP switches 2–4 select both an RF receiver and an RF 
transmitter device address. 

  When used with 5800TM compatible (bi-directional) devices, the 

transmitter address must be enabled as a “keypad” in the control 
and DIP switch 6 must be set to “ON.” 

  If 5883H is not being used with 5800TM compatible devices, the 

RF transmitter address should be ignored and DIP switch 6 
should be set to OFF. 

  If programming the control to supervise 5883H, program only 

the receiver address for supervision. Do not program the 
transmitter address for supervision. 

  5883H does not support the 5827BD Wireless Keypad. 

 

Special Notes When Used With Certain Controls 

   

VISTA-40:

 When using bi-directional devices, use device address 

setting 1/28 or 5/28 for devices used in partition 1; use device 
address setting 2/29 or 6/29 for devices used in partition 2 (this 
is necessary because the VISTA-40 automatically assigns 
address 28 or 29 depending on the programming in field 1*48, 
wireless keypad partition assignment). 

 
VISTA 32FB, VISTA-50P and higher:

 When using bi-

directional devices, the Wireless Keypad Partition Assignment 
field (typically 1*48) must be set to the partition in which the 
devices are used (cannot be used on Fire Partitions). 
 

  VISTA-15P/20P Series, FA130C/FA148C/FA168CP Series:

 

Use device address setting of “non-addressable,” which is 
address 0 (sets the receiver address; the transmitter address (for 
bi-directional devices) is automatically set for 28). 

 

 

CONNECT THE WIRING FROM THE CONTROL 

1. Insert the wiring plug (with 5 flying leads) into the mating 

socket on the 5883H (see Figure 5 for socket location).  

2. Connect the 4 wires to the control's corresponding remote 

keypad connection points as follows: 

 

RED 

12VDC input (+) Aux Power 

 

GREEN: 

Data to Control (control’s data IN) 

 

YELLOW: 

Data from Control (control’s data OUT) 

 BLACK: 

Ground 

(–) 

 

LED FUNCTIONS

 

(refer to Figure 5)

 

Red RF Interference LED: Lit Indicates local RF interference.  
Green LED:  Flickering indicates reception of messages (decoded 

and/or non-decoded). 

Yellow LED:  Occasional blinks occur under normal operation. 
Red LED:  Blinks indicate available space for high security keys;  
Steady ON indicates ready to deactivate high security keys or 
remove wireless (RF) keypads. See High Security Keys and 
Wireless Keypads section.

IMPORTANT: Take precautions 
against static discharge when 
handling the 5883 PCB. A static 
discharge can damage the 
module’s EEPROM and/or cause 
unpredictable changes in its 
factory programming.
