Wireless Recessed

Transmitter

NOTE: It is essential to the systems operation
that the positioning of the iON icon on the
transmitter point in the same direction as its
corresponding sash magnet.

Insert the 5800MICRA's antenna into the
extrusion hollow then press the transmitter
body into the cored opening. Insure that the
antenna moves freely in the window channel
during installation.

Under no circumstances should the outer wall of the
window frame be penetrated by the Forstner bit.

making sure to position the iON icons to point in the
same direction.

NOTE: This point is essential to

Using a 3/4" Forstner Drill Bit, drill into the
window sash to a depth of 11/32" only.

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.
