GENERAL INFORMATION

The Ademco No. 5807 Photoelectric Smoke Detector/Transmitter is intended for
use with wireless alarm systems that support QED 5800 series devices, and
contains a built-in transmitter which can send alarm, supervisory and battery
condition messages to the system's QED 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 (and the LED indicator will light
steadily). A message will also be sent to the wireless QED control and the smoke
detector's ID number will be displayed at the console. The alarm message will be
transmitted every 4 seconds, until the smoke condition has cleared and the
detector has reset. After the horn has stopped, a Restore message will be
transmitted to the QED 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 7 seconds.

Low Battery: The detector indicates a low battery condition by emitting a "beep"
about once every 15 seconds. A low battery message will be sent to the QED
control unit upon any transmission following the first battery beep (with the
detector's ID number displayed at the console). The battery should be replaced
within 7 days following the low battery signals.

Programming: Note that the QED control system must “enroll” the smoke
detector’s ID during installation of the system. The QED control should be
programmed to “enroll” the 5807 as an “RF” type unit (i.e., supervised RF). See
the

Release the detector's mounting bracket by pressing the tab marked PRESS in
the detector's base (see Fig.1 for location of the tab). Note the manner in which
the bracket was attached to the detector base, then put the mounting bracket
aside temporarily. The mounting bracket also serves as the battery compartment
cover.

IF BATTERIES ARE REMOVED AND RE-INSERTED FOR ANY REASON.
Before re-inserting the batteries, momentarily bridge the smoke detector's
battery contacts with a metal tool, or wait 90 seconds.

Note: If the detector’s ID has not been programmed into the system (i.e., this is

an initial detector installation), refer to the
perform the ID “enrolling” procedure before mounting or testing the detector.

Programming

The QED control system must “enroll” the smoke detector’s ID during installation
of the system. Program the 5807 as an “RF” type unit (i.e., supervised RF), and
its loop number as "1."

When prompted for the serial number, either enter it manually, or transmit from
the unit (press the test switch, short the contacts, etc.) To gain access to the
special shorting contacts provided for programming purposes, insert the blade of
a small screwdriver into the opening in the detector base (see Fig. 2 for location)
and twist. This will release the main cover which will then swing away, providing
access to the interior of the detector, as shown in Figure 3. With the QED control
in the programming mode, short the two contacts in the detector (shown in Figure

3) with a small screwdriver to transmit a signal. See the QED control unit’s
installation Instructions for further details. When this procedure has been
completed, swing cover down firmly to secure.

positions in the detector's battery compartment. Be sure to observe correct

polarity, and do not force the batteries into the compartment. The detector's
LED indicator should flash once every 7 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 that
follow, check for correct battery installation.

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

NFPA RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING SMOKE DETECTOR INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE DETECTORS

(on a following page). A

and

good RF transmission path must be established from the proposed mounting
location before permanently installing the detector. To check, perform the test in

Wireless Transmission Path Test.

Selecting 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 if permitted by local and state codes. 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.
