cleaned at least once a year.

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, 7-2.2 and is approved by UL.
Refer to the wireless system’s instructions for the maximum
number of transmitters that can be supported.

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 and the smoke
detector’s zone number is displayed at the console. 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 and the
transmitter’s zone number can be cleared from the panel. The built­in 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.

Two LEDs and a sounder on the detector provide local visual and
audible indication of the detector’s status:

Table 1: Detector LED Modes

Normal (standby)

Out of sensitivity Off

Freeze Trouble Off

Smoke Alarm Off

Thermal Alarm Off

Low Battery Off

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).

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 SENS­RDR Infrared Sensitivity Reader tool (see Figure 4) should be used.
Refer to instruction manual D100-98-00 for proper use of the SENS­RDR.

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.

Battery Installation and Replacement

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.

detector counter-clockwise on the base until it snaps open.
Then return to clockwise position until the detector snaps
into place.

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.

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.

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

• Loop 1 (Heat/Smoke) as a Fire zone (type 9 or 16),

• Loop 2 (High/Low Maintenance) as a 24-Hr. Trouble

zone (type 19), and

• Loop 3 (Freeze Warning Sensor) as a 24-Hr. Aux. zone

(type 8).

NOTE: Loop 2 High/Low Maintenance is supported only on
commercial control panels such as the Vista-128FBP.

4. When prompted, enter Input Type 03 (3 on some controls)

– Supervised RF Transmitter.

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

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:

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.
