5809

RATE-OF-RISE HEAT DETECTOR/TRANSMITTER

For use with QED control panels ONLY!

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Ademco 5809 Rate-of-Rise Heat 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 receiver/control unit. Refer to the QED wireless
system's instructions for the maximum number of transmitters
that can be supported.

The 5809 combines both rate-of-rise and fixed temperature
sensors. Fires typically cause a rapid rise in temperature in t he
surrounding area. The 5809’s rate-of-rise thermostat senses the
rise in temperature and signals an alarm if the rise is 15°F (8°C)
or more per minute. A built-in fixed temperature sensor will
also signal an alarm if the ambient temperature rises above
135°F (57°C).

NOTE: If the fixed temperature sensor activates, the

5809 must be replaced.

The 5809 is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. If the battery
voltage gets too low, the 5809 sends a low battery signal to the
control panel.

The 5809 also features a tamper switch, which causes a trouble
signal to be sent to the control if the unit is removed from the
mounting base.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT

The transmitter’s serial number must be enrolled in the QED
control panel before usage in the system. The QED control unit's
installation instructions provide detailed programming
procedures for enrolling transmitter serial numbers. Before
programming, do the following:

1. Remove the unit assembly from its mounting base by
twisting counter-clockwise and lifting.

2. Install the battery (if not already installed). Observe polarity!

3. Enter the control’s programming mode and follow the
control’s programming instructions. When programming
this transmitter at the control, note the following:

• Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF)

• Loop Number = 1
Transmit from the detector when prompted (momentarily

press the activation button located on the exposed
transmitter PC board, install battery, etc.). You can also
manually enter the detector’s serial number.

4. Test the detector after enrolling into the system. Refer to the
Testing section.

A built-in activation button, located on the PC board assembly,
is used when programming the unit’s serial number at the
control and when testing the unit.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY

Important Notes:

• Use 3-volt lithium battery:
Duracell DL123A or
Panasonic/Sanyo/Varta CR123A.

• Observe polarity.

• When replacing the battery, wait at least 30 seconds after
removing the old battery, before installing the new one.

Remove the detector from its base and install a 3-volt lithium
battery as shown below.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR

You can mount the 5809 on a wall or ceiling within the
protection area:

• Wall Mounting: Mount the detector 4”-6” from the ceiling.

• Ceiling Mounting: Mount the detector at least 4” from any
wall. Make sure the normal ceiling temperature will not
exceed 100°F.

• Refer to NFPA Standard 72 for detector spacing and other
requirements. Maximum spacing for UL installations is
50’x50’.

• Avoid mounting the detector near heat generating devices
(e.g. ovens, heat vents, furn aces, boilers).

IMPORTANT:

Heat detectors should be used for
property protection. Reliance should
not be placed solely on heat detectors
for life safety.

Wireless Transmission Path Test

A good RF transmission path must be established from the
proposed mounting location before permanently installing the
detector. To determine that there is good signal reception from
the proposed location, perform the test procedure described in
the TESTING THE DETE CTOR section.

Once a good RF transmission path is confirmed, mount the
detector as follows:

1. Surface mount the unit’s plastic base to a wall or ceiling, or
mount the plastic base to either a 4” junction box or 3-1/4”
octagon box.

2. Mount the detector PC board assembly to the base and
secure by twisting clockwise. Make sure to align the

tamper contact wire on the base with the electrical pads
on the underside of the PC board assembly when
installing to the base.

MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION

To maintain the detector in proper working condition, it is im­portant that you observe the following:

1. Repl ace the battery when the system indicates that the 5809
has reported a low battery condition.

2. Units should never be relocated without the advice or
assistance of the alarm service company.

TESTING THE DETECTOR

The test procedure should be performed to determine a good RF
transmission path and again after installation is completed.

CAUTION:

1. Activate the control panel’s test mode.

2. Use either method (a) or (b) to activate the detector:
(a) Press and release the activation button on the PC

(b) Holding a portable hair dryer about 12 to 18 inches

CAUTION: Aiming the dryer directly at the round

time. Annual testing of the rate-of rise operation is recommended.
Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer

and frequent testing by the user are vital to continuous satisfactory
operation of any alarm system.

The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and
offering a regular maintenance program to the user as well as
acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the
alarm system and its component parts. Recommendations must be
included for a specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to
ensure the system's proper operation at all times.
