ADEMCO 5804BD

BI-DIRECTIONAL WIRELESS KEY

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INFORMATION

The 5804BD is a four-button wireless key that permits an alarm system to be controlled remotely. It is a bi­directional 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.
Each button can be programmed for any zone response type by using the control’s transmitter “enroll” mode.
Typical use is for arming, disarming, panic, and output relay operation.

The 5804BD must be used in conjunction with a 5800TM (Transmitter Module) and 5881 RF Receiver.
The unit is powered by two replaceable batteries designed to provide several years of operation (see “To Replace

the Battery” for more information).

Loop Assignments:

• Button A =>Loop 3

• Button B =>Loop 2

• Button C =>Loop 4

• Button D =>Loop 1

Note: Place the 5881 receiver and the
5800TM transmitter module in a high,
centrally located area for best reception.
The 5800TM module must be located
between 1 and 2 feet from the receiver.

PROGRAMMING THE 5804BD HOUSE ID

You need to program a House ID number into the unit before you can to use it to display the system status. The
House ID number must be same as the one used in the control panel. The House ID must be in the range

of 01 to 31. The default in the 5804BD is 10.

To Enter a House ID

1. Enter House ID mode by pressing the “A,” “B,” and “C” buttons at the same time until the Red and Green
LEDs alternate flashing.

2. Enter the House ID number by using the “A” button to enter the 10’s digit and the “B” button to enter the 1’s
digit. Note: If the entry is out of range (greater than 31), the unit will generate a long beep and discard the
entry.

3. Accept the entry by pressing the “D” button.

4. The unit displays the stored number by flashing the left LED for the 10’s
the 1’s digit (for example, for House ID 21, the left LED will flash twice, the right LED will flash once).

5. The unit will then exit the House ID mode (a beep will be heard).

Example: To enter House ID # 17 into the unit:

To View the House ID

a) Enter House ID mode as described in step 1 (above).
b) Depress the “D” button to view.
c) The unit will display the stored number as described in step 4 (above).
d) The unit will then exit House ID mode (a beep will be heard).

Programming a House ID in the Alarm Control

• On VISTA 32/40/50/50P and up, use Device Programming mode to enable the RF receiver and enter the
House ID number.

• On VISTA-20P, 15P, 10P, and compatible variants, go to field ✶24 and enter the House ID number.

PROGRAMMING THE BUTTONS

Each 5804BD is assigned a unique serial number during manufacturing. Each button on the unit also has a
unique “loop” number that must be programmed into the control panel during installation. Assign each button to an
individual zone number and program the Input Type as “BR” --Button Type RF (entry of “5”) in the control’s Zone
Programming mode. Then, input the serial number by one of the following methods:

• “Enroll” the serial number of the device into the system as described in the control panel’s Installation
Instructions.

• Enter the serial number manually through the keypad.

• Enter the serial number using downloading software.

Be sure to include the loop number of each button during programming (see loop assignments on previous page).

Button C

If you choose not to use the “C” button, you must do the following to avoid a “Check” condition when the button is
accidentally pressed:

1. Assign this button to a zone (see Programming the Buttons above).

2. After the serial number has been programmed, re-enter Zone Programming for that zone.

3. At the “Zone Type” prompt, enter 00 and press [✶ ].

a) On VISTA-30 controls and below, the system will ask whether you want to permanently delete that zone.

Enter 0 (No). This will cause the system to retain the serial number, but render the button inactive.

b) On VISTA-40 and above, continue to press [✶] until you see the “Enter zone No?” prompt again. At this

point, Press 00 and [✶]. Then press ✶ 99 to exit Program mode.

Arm/Disarm Button

If a button is assigned to a zone type 20 (Arm Stay), 21 (Arm Away), and 22 (Disarm), you must do the following:

On Vista 32/40/50/50P/100, and up

You must assign a user to the button in order for it to operate.
To assign a user number to the Arm/Disarm button:

1. Enter [4-digit User Code] + 8 + [User No.] + [4-digit new

User Code].

2. Answer Yes or No to the “Open/Close Report ?” question.

3. Answer Yes to the “RF Button ?” question.

4. Enter the zone number assigned to the Arm/Disarm

button.

5. Keypad shows the summary of user information on its

display.

6. Test Arm/Disarm button to make sure it operates

correctly.

On Vista-20P/15P/10P, and compatible
variants

You do not have to assign a user to the button. The panel
will report the zone number as the user number to the central
station.

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

Because 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.
