General Information
The 5804BD is a four-button wireless key that permits an alarm system to be controlled remotely. It is a bi-directional
device, which means that it can send a command to the control, such as to arm or disarm, and can also receive status back
from the control, which is indicated by two bi-color status LEDs and a piezoelectric sounder. The 5804BD is typically
used for arming, disarming, panic, and output relay operation. Check with your installer for operation of the buttons o n
your unit.
Operating the Buttons
To Activate a Button
To activate programmed function on a button, press and hold the button down until the yellow LED flashes (2 beeps will
be heard), and then release it.
To Request System Status
Since the 5804BD is a bi-directional device, users can check the system status before arming or disarming their system.
To check system status, press and release any button momentarily. The yellow LED will flash after you release the
button (1 beep will be heard). After a second or two, the 5804BD will display the system status information using a
combination of LED and sounder activity (see the System Status Indications Table, below). If 5804BD does not receive
system status information from the panel for approximately five seconds, it will generate a long (1 second) beep and shut
itself down. It will also shut itself down if there is no button activity within five seconds of receiving a status update.

Multiple Button Operations
The 5804BD can generate the same responses as keypad
panic key pairs of [*] + [#] and [*] + [1] by depressing
“A” + “C” and “B” + “D” button pairs, respectively.
You must depress the button pair for at least two seconds
for the 5804BD to recognize the button pair command.
These button pairs will allow the user to activate panic,
fire, and medical alarms depending on control panel
programming.
Low Battery Indication
When the unit goes into a Low Battery condition, the yellow LED will not flash when a button is pressed. Change both
batteries immediately.
To Replace the Batteries
1. Remove the screw from the back case.
2. Remove case back by using the blade of a small screwdriver to pry open.
3. Place batteries in case back locations, see diagram. Use CR2430 or
DL2430 Lithium battery only.
4. Close the case by snapping case front and back together.
5. Replace the screw to secure the case.
Improperly installing the batteries will cause damage to the
batteries.

LIMITATIONS STATEMENT
Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal objects before they reach the alarm receiver.
Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if the signal path somehow
becomes blocked by a metal object.
Wireless button type transmitters that have visual and audible indications of status must be used to confirm that the
desired action (such as arming) has occurred after pressing a function button on any of these transmitters. Be sure to
listen for appropriate audible and visual indications that such action has ocurred. Otherwise, you could inadvertently
leave yourself or your premises unprotected.
Battery life in a given installation may be reduced by external factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, or large
swings in temperature. A button type transmitter will report a low battery condition to the alarm control when a
programmed button is activated. If the button unit is used infrequently, activate it regularly (once per week) to confirm
the status of the batteries.
