5818 Recessed Door Transmitter
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
TYPICAL INSTALLATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5818 Recessed Door Transmitter is a
reed switch, magnetic-contact sensor that
provides concealed protection for a door.
It is intended for use only with alarm
systems that support 5800 series devices.
The transmitter is powered by long-life
lithium battery that is easily replaceable
when a low battery is indicated by the
control.
PROGRAMMING THE ID NUMBER
Each 5818 has its own unique
identification code (serial number)
permanently assigned during manu-
facture.
You must “enroll” the transmitter’s ID
during installation of the alarm system.
5818 transmitters must be enrolled as
"RF" (supervised RF) Type (
mandatory for
UL installations
).
PRELIMINARY CONSIDERATIONS
Read all of this and the next section
before installing the unit.
1.
Select a location for the transmitter
on the frame of the door (never on
the hinged edge) to be protected.
•
Do not use on metal frame doors.
•
The transmitter will require a 7/8“
diameter hole in the edge of the
frame, at least 5” deep and its
magnet will need a 1/2” diameter hole
in the edge of the door at least 1-3/4”
deep.
BEFORE DRILLING ANY HOLES, SEE
STEP 2 BELOW AND READ ALL
OFMOUNTING.
•
The preferred direction of mounting is
vertical, although the 5818 may be
mounted in
any
direction if
satisfactory reception of its
transmissions is obtained.
•
A physical barrier (e.g., a molding
strip on the door frame) should be
present to protect against defeat of
the contact from outside the
premises.
2.
Before drilling any holes,
tape the
transmitter and magnet in their
approximate locations (with battery
installed and unit together as described
under BATTERY INSTALLATION/
REPLACEMENT (below) and conduct
Go/No Go tests (refer to control panel’s
instructions) to verify adequate signal
strength. Reorient or relocate trans-
mitter if necessary.
•
Make sure that
no more than 1/2”
gap exists
between the faces of the
transmitter and magnet cases when
they are installed and set.
•
When installed, an alarm signal must
be obtained
before a clear space of
2” is reached
as the door is opened.
MOUNTING
1.
Mark the selected location for the
transmitter
on the frame of the door.
