GENERAL INFORMATION

The 5816 Door/Window Transmitter has its own
unique serial number permanently assigned
during manufacture. You must “enroll” the
transmitter serial number in the control prior to its
usage in the system. Refer to the control unit’s
installation instructions for further details. Note:
During programming of the control unit, 5816
transmitters shall be treated as “RF” (i.e.,
supervised RF) Type (mandatory for UL
installations).

The 5816 has two unique zones; the first is for a
wired closed circuit contact loop and the second
for its built-in reed switch (used in conjunction with
a magnet as described below). Either or both
zones may be used. For UL installations, a

contact may not be more than 3 feet from the
transmitter.

A built-in cover tamper switch is activated when
the cover is removed.

INSTALLATION
Mounting

For proper orientation of the unit in relation to the
mounting plate, loop wiring, and/or magnet, read
all of this section before installing the unit.

The description that follows assumes that the unit
will be mounted as shown in the diagrams, with
the magnet (if used) located to the unit’s right. The
unit may, however, be installed in any direction,
as long as the relationship of the unit to its
mounting plate and (if used) magnet is
maintained.

Although two holes are provided in the unit that
would permit mounting directly to a surface (holes
‘A’ in Diagram 2) it is recommended that the
mounting plate be used, for ease in removing the
unit for servicing should it become necessary.

Before mounting the transmitter permanently,

SURFACE WIRING

conduct Go/No Go tests (see control’s
instructions) to verify adequate signal strength
and reorient or relocate the transmitter if
necessary.

1. Remove the transmitter’s cover by inserting

the flat blade of a small screwdriver into the
pry-off slot at the end of the unit farthest from
the cover’s decorative ribs, and twisting the
blade.

2. Disengage the supplied mounting plate

from the unit by inserting the blade of a small

screwdriver into the locking tab release
window (see Diagram 2) and pressing it
against the locking tab (see Diagram 1) while
sliding the plate downward along the case
back.

3. If a wired contact loop is to be used with

concealed wiring, feed the wires through the
concealed wiring entry hole at one corner of
the mounting plate.
For surface wiring entry, a thin “breakout”
area is provided in the case wall. Wiring can
be run through this “breakout” in the case
when attaching the case in step 5.

4. Install the mounting plate, with its case

holding posts pointing up (in this example), in
the location selected as described in the
control unit’s installation instructions. Use the
flat head screws supplied.

5. Attach the case back to the mounting plate

by sliding the keyhole slots in the case back
down onto the mounting plate’s case holding
posts. The locking tab will click as the case
back locks in place.

6. If the unit’s reed switch is to be used,

mount a No. 5799 Magnet (or equivalent;
obtain separately) adjacent to the alignment
marks on the case and the mounting plate’s
alignment strip (see Diagram 2).

Wiring Connections

With the battery still not inserted, connect the
contact loop (if used) to the unit’s loop terminals
(see diagram). The contact loop must use closed
circuit devices. The loop response time is a
nominal 100mSec.

Note: If the contact loop is not to be used, no

connection is needed across its terminals.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

1. Remove the transmitter’s cover (if it is not

already off) as described in Mounting Step 1.

2. Observe correct polarity and insert the

battery provided into the battery holder (see

Diagram 2). Take care not to bend the
antenna.
