INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5817 Multi-Point Universal Transmitter may have three contact loops connected to it. Each
loop transmits a unique ID code to a 5800 wireless system receiver connected to the system
control panel. The Primary Loop has several DIP switch selectable options that determine its
connection requirements, response, and transmission characteristics (see DIP switch setting
table on next page). The two Auxiliary Loops are closed-circuit, with a nominal response time of
100mSec. For UL installations, no contact in any of the loops may be more than 3 feet from the
transmitter.
A built-in cover tamper switch is activated when the cover is removed.
ENROLLING THE TRANSMITTER IDs
The 5817 has its own unique identification codes permanently assigned during manufacture. It is
not necessary to program the transmitter IDs during installation. Instead, the control unit is
required to "enroll" the transmitter IDs at some point prior to the transmitter’s usage in the alarm
system.
The control unit’s installation manual contains general information on the "enrolling" procedure,
but the information given herein pertains specifically to the 5817.
1. Place a 3V battery in the battery holder, as described later in BATTERY
INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT and as shown in Diagram 2. Observe polarity!
2. Make sure that the DIP switch’s 4 positions (see Diagram 2) are all OFF.
3. Set the system ready for enrolling the ID code of one of the 5817’s loops (inputs) to be
used, as described in the control’s instructions. The 5817 should be treated as "RF" (i.e.,
supervised RF) Type (mandatory for UL installations).
4. Proceed with enrolling the inputs of the loops to be used, as described in the control’s
instructions.
INSTALLATION
Mounting
For proper orientation of the unit in relation to its wall mounting plate and the loop wiring, 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. The
unit may, however, be installed in any direction, as long as the relationship of the unit to its
mounting plate 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, as described below, for
ease in removing the unit for servicing should it become necessary.
Before mounting the transmitter permanently, conduct Go/No Go tests (see control’s instructions)
to verify adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary. When a
satisfactory location is found, remove the battery and proceed with installation.
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. Note: The open slot at the other end of the unit cannot be used as a cover pry-off.
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
case locking tab (see Diagram 1) while sliding the plate downward along the case back. Note:
For this application, the alignment guide strip along one edge of the plate serves no function
and may be broken away, if desired.

Overview

4. Maintenance Features

The Honeywell Ademco 5817 Multi-Point Universal Transmitter is a wireless device designed to integrate with 5800 wireless alarm systems. It features up to three contact loops, each capable of transmitting a unique identification (ID) code to a compatible 5800 wireless system receiver connected to a system control panel. This allows for the monitoring of multiple points within an alarm system using a single transmitter.

Function Description:

The 5817 transmitter's primary function is to detect changes in the state of its connected contact loops and wirelessly transmit these changes to the alarm control panel. The device includes a primary loop with several DIP switch selectable options for connection requirements, response characteristics, and transmission behavior. Additionally, there are two auxiliary loops, which are closed-circuit and have a nominal response time of 100 milliseconds. A built-in cover tamper switch activates if the cover is removed, providing an additional layer of security. For UL installations, all contacts in any of the loops must be within 3 feet of the transmitter.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions: 1-9/16"W x 3-1/2"H x 1-3/16"D (40mm x 89mm x 30mm).
• Battery: 3V Lithium (Duracell DL123A, Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic CR123A, ADEMCO 466, or Varta CR123A).
• Auxiliary Loop Response Time: 100mSec (closed-circuit).
• Primary Loop Response Time (DIP Switch Selectable):
  • Slow: Approximately 200mSec (Normally Closed Response Time).
  • Fast: Approximately 5mSec (Normally Closed Response Time).
• Primary Loop Transmission Options (DIP Switch Selectable):
  • Repeating Transmission: Every 4 seconds upon primary loop fault (for high-priority alarms like fire).
  • Single Transmission: Per primary loop change-of-state.
• Transmission Inhibit Option (DIP Switch Selectable):
  • 3 Minute, All Loop Transmission Inhibit: After restore of primary loop (affects auxiliary loops as well, used for frequently used doors to conserve battery).
  • No Transmission Inhibit.
• Primary Loop Circuit Type (DIP Switch Selectable):
  • Normally Open Circuit.
  • Normally Closed Circuit.

Usage Features:

• Enrollment: The 5817 has unique, factory-assigned identification codes. Instead of programming these IDs, the control unit "enrolls" them during installation. During enrollment, all DIP switch positions on the transmitter must be OFF. The transmitter should be treated as "RF" (supervised RF) type, which is mandatory for UL installations.
• Mounting: The device can be mounted directly to a surface using two provided holes, but it is recommended to use the supplied mounting plate for easier removal during servicing. Before permanent mounting, Go/No Go tests should be conducted to verify adequate signal strength and reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.
• DIP Switch Configuration: After enrollment, the primary loop characteristics are configured using a 4-position DIP switch. These settings determine transmission frequency, response time, and circuit type. Note that auxiliary loops are generally not affected by DIP switch settings, except for the 3-minute transmission inhibit option. For UL installations with fire zones, the 3-minute transmission inhibit setting should not be used.
• Wiring Connections: Loop wiring is connected to the unit's terminals. If a contact loop is not used, no connection is needed across its terminals. Concealed wiring can be routed through a dedicated entry hole, while surface wiring can enter via a "breakout" area in the case wall.

Maintenance Features:

• Battery Installation/Replacement: The battery is installed by removing the transmitter's cover and observing correct polarity. Only specific 3V Lithium battery models (Duracell DL123A, Sanyo CR123A, Panasonic CR123A, ADEMCO 466, or Varta CR123A) should be used for replacement.
• Cover Removal/Replacement: The cover can be removed by inserting a small screwdriver into a pry-off slot and twisting. To replace the cover, engage the hooks along one edge and snap it shut.
• Warranty: The product is warranted for 24 months from the date stamp control or 12 months from the date of original purchase against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty is limited to repairing or replacing defective products. It does not cover alterations or improper repairs by unauthorized personnel.
• Regular Maintenance: The installer is responsible for establishing and offering a regular maintenance program to the user, including frequent testing (at least weekly) to ensure continuous satisfactory operation of the alarm system. The user should be acquainted with the proper operation and limitations of the system.
