following NFPA 72 requirements.
General Description
The 5808W3 photoelectronic smoke/heat detector with built-in
wireless transmitter is intended for use with wireless alarm systems
that support 5800 series devices. Refer to control/communicator
installation instructions for compatibility. The 5808W3 smoke/
heat detector can be used with any 5800 series wireless receiver/
transceiver for residential installations. For commercial installations,
the 5881ENHC or the 5883H receiver is required. The transmitter can
send alarm, tamper, maintenance (when control panels are equipped
to process maintenance signals), and battery condition messages to
the system’s receiver. The maintenance signal fully complies with the
sensitivity test requirement specified in NFPA 72, 10.4.4.2.4 and is
approved by UL. Refer to the wireless system’s instructions for the
maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.
Two LEDs and a sounder on the detector provide local visual and
audible indication of the detector’s status:

During initial power-up, the red and green LEDs will blink
synchronously once every 5 seconds. It will take approximately 20
seconds for the detector to finish the power-up cycle (see Table 1).

The 5808W3 incorporates a state-of-the-art optical sensing chamber
and an advanced microprocessor. The microprocessor allows the
detector to automatically maintain proper operation at factory
calibrated detection levels, even when sensitivity is altered due to the
presence of contaminants settling into the unit’s smoke chamber. In
order for this feature to work properly, the chamber must never be
opened while power is applied to the smoke detector. This includes
cleaning, maintenance or screen replacement. All models also feature
a restorable, built-in, fixed temperature (135°F) thermal detector and
is also capable of sensing a pre-freeze condition if the temperature is
below 41°F.
The 5808W3 contains a piezoelectric horn which generates the ANSI
S3.41 temporal pattern in an alarm condition. In alarm, a message
is also sent to the wireless control panel. The alarm message is
transmitted every 4 seconds until the smoke or heat condition has
cleared and the detector has reset. During an alarm condition,
pressing the detector’s test switch will silence the piezoelectric horn
for 5 minutes. Once the detector has reset, a RESTORE message is
transmitted to the control panel. The built-in Drift Compensation
algorithm automatically maintains the sensitivity of the detector.
Once the detector reaches its limit of compensation, it transmits a
maintenance signal to the panel. The mounting base installation is
simplified by the incorporation of features compatible with drywall
fasteners or other methods that provide a method for securing the
detector in place.
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally
within its listed sensitivity range, the green LED blinks once every
10 seconds. If the detector is in need of maintenance because its
sensitivity has shifted outside the listed limits, the red LED blinks
once every 5 seconds. When alarm has been activated by smoke, the
red LED blinks every 1 second. During a thermal alarm condition
(>135°F) the red LED blinks once every 4 seconds. The LED indication
must not be used in place of the tests specified under Testing. In a
freeze trouble condition, the red LED will blink once every 10 seconds
(refer to Table 1). If the detector senses a low battery condition, the
red LED blinks once every 45 seconds.
To measure the detector’s sensitivity, the i3 Series Model SENS-RDR
Infrared Sensitivity Reader tool (see Figure 4) should be used. Refer to
instruction manual D100-98-00 for proper use of the SENS-RDR.
Low Battery Detection
The 5808W3 is powered by a single 3-volt CR123A or DL123A Lithium
battery (included). The detector checks for a low battery at least
every 65 minutes. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends
a low battery message to the control panel, which beeps and displays
the detector ’s zone number. In addition, the red LED of the 5808W3
will blink every 45 seconds and the test switch will be disabled. This
condition will exist for a minimum of 7 days, and then the detector’s
horn will “chirp” about every 45 seconds. Pressing the test switch
during this time will silence the chirps for 12 hours. The battery
should be replaced BEFORE the chirps begin. Be sure to replace the
battery with a fresh one.

To replace the battery:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector
counterclockwise. Remove the battery, and dispose properly.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20
seconds before installing new battery.
3. Install a new 3-volt CR123A Lithium battery in the battery
compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside the compartment.
4. Reinstall the smoke detector onto the mounting base by turning
the detector clockwise.
5. Test the detector as described in the TESTING SIGNAL
STRENGTH section of this manual. The green LED should blink
about once every 10 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the
battery is not installed correctly, the smoke detector will not
operate and the battery may be damaged. If the detector does not
appear to be sending a signal during any of the tests, check for
correct battery installation and for a fully charged battery.
6. When the serial number is displayed, transmit from the detector
a second time by activating the tamper switch again as described
in Step 5. The current loop number (4) will begin to flash.
7. Manually change the loop number to the desired loop number for
the zone (according to the application).
8. When programming for this zone is complete, program other
zones for the transmitter as necessary (except for Tamper Loop
4, which does not require programming).
WARNING: The fire protection zone enrolled must always be
Loop 1. Otherwise, fire annunciations will not be reported by the
control.
9. Exit Programming mode when programming is complete, and
test the detector. Refer to the Testing Section.
See the control unit’s installation instructions for further details.
Mounting
First, determine the best location for the smoke detector, one that
provides a strong wireless transmission path and proper smoke
detection. A GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH MUST BE ESTABLISHED
FROM THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE
PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE DETECTOR. To check, perform
the test described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH section of
this manual. Prior to mounting the detector to the mounting base,
you must “enroll” the detector’s serial number into the system (see
the PROGRAMMING section). To mount the detector, perform the
following steps:
Programming
The smoke detector must be enrolled in the control panel before it can
operate in the system. The 5808W3 smoke/heat protection zone must
be enrolled as Loop 1 and “Input Type” 3 (supervised RF).
If programmed, this smoke detector is capable of monitoring the
additional conditions of Maintenance (transmitted as Loop 2), and
Low Temperature (transmitted as Loop 3). Tamper is transmitted
as Loop 4, but does not require programming. To take advantage of
the value added features of Maintenance and Low Temperature, you
must program each loop as a separate zone in the 5800 series wireless
compatible panel.
1. Enter the control’s Zone Programming mode.
2. Enter the zone number to be programmed.
3. Enter the applicable zone type when prompted. Program
•Loop1(Heat/Smoke)asaFirezone(type9or16),
•Loop2(High/LowMaintenance)asa24-Hr.Troublezone(type
•Loop3(FreezeWarningSensor)asa24-Hr.Aux.zone(type8).
NOTE: Loop 2 High/Low Maintenance is supported only on
4. When prompted, enter Input Type 03 (3 on some controls)
5. When prompted for the serial number, transmit from the detector

by activating the tamper switch. To do this, hold the base of the
detector in one hand, and rotate the detector counter-clockwise
on the base until it snaps open. Then return to clockwise position
until the detector snaps into place.
1. Once a suitable location has been determined, install the
mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances
permit). Use the two screws and anchors provided.
2. Turn the detector in a clockwise direction in the mounting base
until it clicks into place.
3. Test the detector immediately after completing the installation
(as described in the TESTING section of this manual) and refer
to the control system’s instructions for additional information
concerning the use of wireless smoke detectors.
