INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ADEMCO 5809EN Rate-of-Rise Heat Detector is a
wireless device used with ADEMCO alarms systems that
support 5800 series devices.
The 5809EN combines both rate-of-rise and fixed
temperature sensors. Fires typically cause a rapid rise in
temperature in the surrounding area. The 5809EN’s rateof-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
5809EN must be replaced.
The 5809EN is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. If the
battery voltage gets too low, the 5809EN sends a low
battery signal to the control panel.
The 5809EN 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.
A built-in activation button, located on the detector
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 DL 123A 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 assembly from its mounting base and
install a 3-volt lithium battery as shown below.

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT
The transmitter’s serial number must be enrolled in the
control panel before usage in the system. Refer to the
Installation and Setup Guide for which this device is to be
used for 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 in shown below). You can also
manually enter the detector’s serial number.
4. Test the detector after enrolling into the system. Refer
to the Testing section.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
You can mount the 5809EN 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, furnaces, boilers).
IMPORTANT: Heat detectors should be used for property
protection. Reliance should not be placed
solely on heat detectors for life safety.
When life safety is involved, smoke
detectors MUST also be used. Detectors
must not be painted.
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 TESTING THE DETECTOR 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.
NOTE: The anti-twist mounting hole is for use when
installing the device directly to wall-board to prevent
the base from being twisted off when servicing the
device.
2. Install the detector assembly to the base and secure by
twisting clockwise. Make sure to align the tamper
posts in the base with the tamper index relief’s in the
detector assembly.

TESTING THE DETECTOR
The test procedure should be performed to determine a good
RF transmission path and again after installation is
completed.
CAUTION: The rate-of-rise heat sensor is intended for one-
time use. Prolonged heat during testing can
damage the unit. If used carefully following
the instructions described below, the heat from
a portable hair dryer can be used to test the
unit. If the round disk on top of the detector
detaches, the detector must be replaced.
Activate the control panel’s test mode.
Use either method (a) or (b) to activate the detector:
(A) Press and release the activation button on the PC
board assembly.
OR
(B) Holding a portable hair dryer about 12 to 18 inches
away from the detector, turn the dryer on and aim
the warm air at the side of the detector.
CAUTION: Aiming the dryer directly at the round disk on
the detector can damage the detector requiring
the unit to be replaced.
The system’s keypads should beep and the detectors ID
should be displayed.
Exit the control’s test mode.
MAINTAINING PROPER OPERATION
To maintain the detector in proper working condition, it is
important that you observe the following:
Replace the battery when the system indicates that the
5809EN has reported a low battery condition.
Units should never be relocated without the advice or
assistance of the alarm service company.

TO THE INSTALLER
The rate-of-rise mechanism may be subject to reduce sensitivity
over 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 components parts. Recommendations
must be included for specific program of frequent testing (at least
weekly) to ensure the system’s proper operation at all times.
