5800C2W / 5800C2WCN
Convert to Wireless Module
Installation and Setup Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5800C2W Convert to Wireless Module (referred to as the 5800C2W, module, or 5800C2WCN in Canada) provides the option to retrofit existing
security systems by; converting their wired sensors to 5800 series wireless technology, and replacing the existing control panel with a LYNX Touch or
LYNX Plus series control.
The 5800C2W also works with residential VISTA control panels equipped with a wireless RF receiver and keypad.
IMPORTANT
: This product is NOT for use with fire
/
heat sensors.
MOUNTING AND WIRING
Guidelines:
•
Since the existing control panel is being replaced, its security functions will be performed by the new LYNX or VISTA control panel.
•
The existing control panel cabinet can remain for the purpose of housing the backup battery. Further, the existing control panel can be powered
down and the transformer unplugged; as it is no longer functional.
•
The 5800C2W module will charge the battery, as long as the voltage reads 9.5VDC. If the voltage drops below 9.5VDC, the 5800C2W is
incapable of charging the battery and must be replaced.
•
Up to nine [9] hardwired zones can be handled by each 5800C2W module. As noted above, the 5800C2W is not for use with Fire, Heat, or
Carbon Monoxide Detectors.
•
DO NOT mount inside the control panel or other metal enclosure.
•
The integral battery cable fuse MUST be positioned inside the control panel enclosure. The fuse is not replaceable.
•
Before mounting permanently, conduct the Go/No Go test (see control’s instructions) to verify adequate signal strength, relocate if necessary.
•
If necessary, affix the SOC label to the inside cover.
Mounting and Wiring:
Note:
This product must be installed in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 70, National Electrical Code.
1. At the existing control panel, tag and remove the zone wires to be transferred to the 5800C2W.
2. Refer to the wiring diagram on the back.
3. Select a mounting position for the module. In most installations, the best mounting location is close to the existing control panel.
Note:
If needed, the 5800C2W can be located remotely by extending the existing zone wires. If needed, you may cut and splice (observing
good workmanship) the battery wires and extend their length up to 3 ft. (0.9 meters) using 22 AWG wire, minimum. Ensure the integral
battery cable fuse is positioned inside the control panel enclosure.
4. Mount “Tamper Magnet” to enclosure cover.
5. Attach using the supplied double stick tape (and screws if desired).
6. Ensure the wiring is complete. Use cable ties as necessary to secure wiring. Plug the power transformer into an un-switched outlet and secure
with screw. Then attach the backup battery wires.

CALIBRATING
Calibration
:
The calibration process enables the 5800C2W to learn what zones will be active and what value EOL resistors are used. Unused zones that are open
WILL NOT be recognized and reported.
1. Ensure all zones are connected and in the non-activated state.
2. On the 5800C2W, click the top left button (SW2). Indicator LED #1 will flash Red for 1/2 second; then turn steady Green.
3. DONE. The 5800C2W is calibrated and ready to enroll in the control panel.
Note
: If the 5800C2W loses both AC and battery backup power, the zone calibration data is retained.
4. If the zone does NOT already have a resistor installed, one must be added. The unit comes with nine (9) 2.2K resistors for zones with no
resistors for this purpose. If a resistor does exist, it must have a value between 1K and 10K.
ENROLLING
Enrollment:
As a wireless device, each 5800C2W has a unique 7-digit serial number to enable the control panel to recognize it. Further, since the 5800C2W has
nine zones each zone is automatically assigned the next sequential serial number. All zones are Loop 1.
Remember, unused zones are not reported or transmitted to the control panel. For example, below all zones except #6 are used:
Item
Serial #
Item
Serial #
zone 1
xxx-xxx1
zone 6 (if not used)
none
zone 2
xxx-xxx2
zone 7
xxx-xxx7
zone 3
xxx-xxx3
zone 8
xxx-xxx8
zone 4
xxx-xxx4
zone 9
xxx-xxx9
zone 5
xxx-xxx5
Tamper/Low Battery Reporting:
The 5800C2W reports this condition to the control panel via of the lowest numbered zone used on the 5800C2W.
To program a 2nd zone on the control panel that only reports tamper, low battery and supervision reports:
•
Add a zone on the control panel to be the 5800C2W module zone (refer to the programming guide).
•
Program that zone with the lowest serial number used by the 5800C2W and loop 4. D
Program the zone descriptor and response type (for example; descriptor = 5800C2W module, response type = trouble).
Enrolling the 5800C2W into the control panel is similar to any 5800 series wireless device. There are two methods that can be used.
Method 1:
1. Refer to the control panel’s guide and set it to “Zone Programming” mode.
2. Enroll the first zone as an "RF" type (supervised RF) device in the control panel.
3. Trip the zone (LED #4 flashes Green to indicate the information has been sent) and wait for the keypad to beep (about 2 seconds),
then trip
zone again
. Confirm the correct serial number has been enrolled. Repeat for each zone used.
Method 2:
1. Locate the unique 7-digit serial number for the 5800C2W module. This is located on the carton and on the module’s circuit board.
2. For each zone used, increment (in order) the 7-digit serial number to determine the serial number for each zone. Refer to the example table to
the left.
Note: The next step can also be done using Compass software.
3. Refer to the control panel’s programming guide and manually program the 5800C2W module, followed by each of its zones.
