Wireless Recessed
Transmitter
Installation Instructions
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5800MICRA wireless recessed transmitter is a reed switch magnetic contact
transmitter that allows the transmitter to be concealed from view when installed
in a window. It is intended for use only with alarm systems that support 5800 series
devices. The transmitter is powered by a long-life lithium battery that is easily
replaceable when a low battery is indicated by the control panel.
Programming the ID Number
Each 5800MICRA has its own unique identification code (serial number)
permanently assigned during manufacturing.
The control panel is required to "enroll" the transmitter's ID during installation of
the alarm system. The zones input type should be enrolled as "RF" (i.e. Supervised
RF) Type (mandatory for all UL installations).
Refer to the control panel's installation instructions for further details.
PRELIMINARY CONSlDERATlONS
Read all of this and the next section before installing the unit.
1. Select a location for the transmitter on the frame of the window.
Do not use on metal frame doors or windows.
5800MICRA TRANSMITTER
The 5800MICRA transmitter will require a 3/4" diameter hole (using
a 3/4" Forstner bit) drilled into the edge of the window frame no more
than 11/32" deep. Its accompanying magnet will need a 3/4" diameter
hole drilled in the side of the window sash, no more than 11/32" deep.
BEFORE DRlLLlNG ANY HOLES, SEE ITEM 2 BELOW AND MOUNTlNG
SECTION ON PAGE 2.
FOR VINYL SLIDING WINDOWS the preferred direction of mounting is vertical.
FOR HUNG WINDOWS the 5800MICRA must be mounted horizontally in the
window sill with the accompanying magnet mounted in the lower window sash.
(see Step 1 - Measure & Drill in Figure 1)
2. Before drilling any holes, tape the transmitter and magnet in their
approximate locations (with battery installed and unit together as
described under BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT (see Page 2)
and conduct Go/No Go tests (see control's instructions) to verify
adequate signal strength. Reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.
Make sure that no more than a 1/2" gap will be present between the faces
of the transmitter and magnet cases when they are installed and set. Also make
sure the 'iON' graphic on the transmitter and magnet are aligned with each
other as per Step 3 - Sash Magnet Placement in Figure 1.
When installed, an alarm signal must be obtained before a clear space of 2"
is reached as the window is opened.

their caps are flush with the surface. Make sure the antenna goes into the
cavity as straight as possible.
BATTERY CAUTION: Risk of fire, explosion and burns.
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212"F (100"C) or incinerate. Dispose
of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.

TO THE INSTALLER
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 insure the system's operation at all times.

BATTERY INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the transmitter from the window by inserting the flat blade of
a small screwdriver into the pry-slot on the cap end and twisting slightly
counter-clockwise. The transmitter must be removed from the window
completely in order to refit the transmitter properly back into the hole
once the internal battery has been replaced.
2. Using the flat blade of a small screwdriver in the pry-slot again, separate
the white cap from the orange base with a slight counter-clockwise twist.
Once open, slide the cap with the transmitter PC board assembly apart
from the orange base. Pull the antenna through the hole in the orange
base just enough to allow the battery to be replaced. Do not pull the
antenna completely out of the orange base.
3. Remove the old battery from it's battery holder on the bottom of the
PC board.

4. Observe correct polarity (see Figure 3 Step 3 & 4) and insert the fresh
battery into the battery holder (positive polarity indicator is shown on the
battery holder).
5. Slide the cap with the PC board assembly back into its orange base by
gently pulling on the antenna, easing the transmitter cap into place.
6. Snap the transmitter cap back onto the orange base, locking it into place.
7. Placing the antenna into the cavity first, reinsert the transmitter into its
original mounting hole in the window. Be sure to point the 'iON' graphic
on the cap in the same direction as the 'iON' graphic on the accompanying
sash-mounted magnet.
