Contact Transmitter
Preliminary Installation Instructions
Use the 5815MN shock sensor only with alarm systems that support 5800 series wireless devices. The
transmitter has its own unique serial number permanently assigned during manu facture, which must be
entered into the control panel prior to the transmitter’s usage. Refer to the control unit’s installation
instruction for programming details.
Note: During programming of the control unit, 5815MN transmitters should be treated as “RF” (i.e.
supervised RF) Type. The 5815MN is assigned as one zone.
Mounting
Before mounting the transmitter permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests (see control’s instructions) to verify
adequate signal strength from the mounting location.
1) Learn serial number as described in the control panel installation instructions. To cause the sensor
to transmit, fault and restore the magnetic contact.
2) Determine mounting location.
3) Verify range by holding the sensor in the approximate mounting location and faulting the
magnetic contact. The panel (in test mode) should respond to the transmissions. If not, find a more
suitable mounting location.
4) Mount the transmitter and magnet with the appropriate mounting hardware.
5) Verify operation by faulting and restoring the magnetic contact – check for trip at alarm panel.
