INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General Information
The ADEMCO 5806 Photoelectric Smoke
Detector/Transmitter is intended for use with
wireless alarm systems that support 5800
Series devices, and contains a built-in
transmitter that can send alarm, supervisory
and battery condition messages to the
system's receiver/control unit. Refer to the
wireless system's instructions for the
maximum number of transmitters that can be
supported.
Alarms: The smoke detector is powered by
two 9-volt batteries and will sound its built-in
horn when smoke reaches the detector (the
LED indicator will also flash rapidly). A
message will also be sent to the wireless
control and the smoke detector's ID number
will be displayed at the keypad. The alarm
message will be transmitted every 4 seconds,
until the smoke condition has cleared and the
detector has reset. About 1 second after the
horn has stopped, a Restore message will be
transmitted to the control and it will then be
possible to clear the ID number from the
display. During normal or low battery
conditions, the LED indicator will flash about
once every 40 seconds.
Low Battery: The detector indicates a lowbattery condition by emitting a "chirp" about
once every 40 seconds. A low-battery
message will be sent to the control unit upon
any transmission following the first battery
TO REMOVE TO SECURE
INDICATOR LIGHT.

chirp (with the detector's ID number displayed
at the keypad). The battery should be replaced
within 30 days following the low-battery
signals.
False Alarm Protection: In order to reduce
the possibility of false alarms due to cigarette
smoke, dust, steam, insects, etc., the detector
will not transmit an alarm signal until its horn
has sounded continuously for about 6
seconds. A delay also occurs when the
detector is tested. Therefore, the test button
must be held down for about 20 seconds
before the horn will sound. The first alarm
signal will be transmitted within 6 seconds after
the horn sounds.
Programming: Note that the control system
must “enroll” the smoke detector’s ID during
installation of the system. The control should
be programmed to “enroll” the 5806 as an “RF”
type unit (i.e., supervised RF). See the
PROGRAMMING section in this instruction
book and the control unit’s Installation
Instructions for further details.
Tamper Protection: The detector has
provision for a tamper function if desired.
When the tamper function, is enabled, the
detector will cause a CHECK to be displayed if
it is removed from its installed location. See
TAMPER PROTECTION for detailed
instructions.
Battery Installation and
Replacement
The 5806 is equipped with two 9-volt batteries,
which can double the time between battery
replacement (compared to a single 9-volt
alkaline battery). Refer to the
SPECIFICATIONS section for acceptable
batteries. The batteries should be changed
within 30 days following the low battery beeps
(about once every 40 seconds). There will
also be a low-battery display on the system’s
keypad. Be sure to replace BOTH batteries
with fresh ones.
Important: Do not mix battery types.

1. Remove the smoke detector from its
mounting plate by twisting the detector
counterclockwise. If you are replacing
batteries, remove the existing batteries from
their compartments and disconnect the
battery clips.
2. Install the new 9-volt alkaline batteries in
their respective compartments as follows:
Snap the battery contacts onto the terminals
of the first battery (be sure to observe
correct polarity and do not force battery
clips). Holding the contacts on the battery,
install the battery into its compartment.
Make sure the battery is fully seated (see
Figure 1).
Connect the second 9-volt alkaline
battery in a similar manner and install it in
the second compartment.
3. Re-install the smoke detector onto the
mounting plate by turning it clockwise,
and test its operation as described in the
TEST section.
4. The LED indicator should flash about
once every 40 seconds, indicating normal
operation. If the batteries are not installed
correctly, the smoke detector will not
function. If the unit appears not to be
sending a signal during any of the tests,
check for correct battery installation.
Note: If the detector’s ID has not been programmed into the system (i.e., this is an initial
detector installation), refer to the PROGRAMMING section below and perform the ID
“enrolling” procedure before mounting or testing the detector.
Programming
The control system must “enroll” the smoke detector’s ID during installation of the system. The
control should be programmed to “enroll” the 5806 as an “RF” type unit (i.e., supervised RF), with
a loop number of "1." With the control in the programming mode, you can either manually enter
the serial number or transmit from the device (push the "Enroll" button [see Figure 1], install the
battery, etc.). See the control unit’s installation instructions for further details.
Be sure to verify that the detector has been enrolled into the system by using the procedure
provided in TESTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR section on page 6.
If a “low battery” message is displayed and you suspect that the batteries are not actually low,
remove both batteries, wait 20 seconds, re-insert them, and re-test the detector. Repeat this
procedure, if necessary.
Tamper Protection
For tamper protection, cut the wire jumper indicated in Figure 1. After the detector has been
mounted, a magnet must then be installed on the wall or ceiling next to the detector.
To ensure proper positioning of the magnet after the detector has been mounted, place a light
pencil mark on the side of the detector near the center of the reed switch (see Fig. 1).

Mounting the Smoke Detector
First, determine the best location for the
smoke detector (one that provides strong
wireless transmission paths AND proper
smoke detector protection). See
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR
SMOKE DETECTORS (on next page).
A good RF transmission path must be
established from the proposed mounting
location before permanently installing the
detector. To check, perform the test in
TESTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR.
Mounting Locations
Detectors should be located as close to the
center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not
practical, detectors may be located on the
ceiling up to 4 inches (10cm) from the
ceiling-wall junction. Do not install near
forced-air heating or air conditioning ducts
(outlets or returns). For sloped, gabled, or
high-peaked ceilings, detectors must be
mounted between 4 and 6 inches (10 and
15cm) from the highest point in the ceiling.
Detectors may also be wall-mounted. Check
with your local Fire Department about code
requirements. Wall-mounted detectors
should be located 4–6 inches (10–15 cm)
from the ceiling.
In mobile homes, battery-operated detectors
are not generally installed by the
manufacturer. Mount detectors ONLY on an
interior wall.
1. Once a suitable location has been
determined, install the mounting plate
on the ceiling or on the wall. Use the
two screws and anchors provided.

2. Latch the detector onto the mounting
plate as follows: Position the detector
onto the plate, mating the small center
post on the detector with the "dimple" at
the center of the mounting plate, and
aligning the index marks on the sides of
the plate and the detector. Then turn the
detector in a clockwise direction so that
the holding tabs on the detector engage
the locking tabs on the mounting plate.
3. If the tamper has been enabled (as
indicated previously), a magnet (No.
39WH-M) should be mounted on the wall
or ceiling surface next to the detector
(1/4” max) in the specified location (see
Fig. 2).
4. Test the detector immediately after
completing the installation and refer to
the control system's instructions for
additional information concerning the use
of wireless smoke detectors.
