GENERAL INFORMATION
5870API is a wireless, supervised asset protection device
that is compatible with systems that support 5800 series
devices. When affixed to a high-value asset, the device
will trigger an alarm if an attempt is made to move or
disturb the asset.
For commercial applications, the 5870API must be

UL
UL
used in conjunction with the 5881ENHC receiver
and compatible control panel.
5870API is for use on objects that do not move
frequently or vibrate. Mounting the sensor near
sources of vibration may cause false alarm
conditions to occur.
OPERATING MODES
5870API provides three programming options (loops).
• High Security (Fast Trigger) Mode (Loop 1)
• Standard Security Mode (Loop 2)
• Tilt Mode (Loop 3)
Loop 1 is for high security applications and should
ONLY be used if the asset will NOT be subject to
external vibration. Loop 2 (Standard Security
mode) should be used in most cases.
Selecting the Operating Mode
Table 1 provides a list of 5870API's various operating
modes, with the respective Loop numbers for each.
Tamper Supervision
5870API's tamper supervision feature (Loop 4) causes a
trouble signal to be sent to the control if the sensor is
removed from the asset being protected or if the unit's
cover is removed from the base. The tamper switch is also
used to program the unit's serial number and loop
assignments in the control panel.
OPERATION
Installer Test Mode- Upon initial battery power up, the
unit will transmit each time it is faulted or restored,
which enables you to enroll and test the device. After the
sensor transmits its first supervisory message (about 70-
80 minutes after power-up), it switches to normal mode.
Normal Mode - In normal mode there is a 3-minute
lockout between transmissions, to help conserve battery
life. To return to the installer test mode, remove and
reinstall the battery.
Before enrolling the device, perform the following:
1.
Remove the "PULL TO CONNECT BATTERY" tab
This will allow the device to transmit. For additional
transmissions, move or rotate the sensor. When the
battery is connected the sensor powers up in the
installer test mode. In this mode the sensor transmits
fault and restore messages on all loops when it
detects motion (or lack thereof).
Operating Mode
High Security (Fast Trigger) Mode - Short
Travel Time, minimum movement detection
Standard-security Mode - Long Travel
Time, occasional movement detection
Tilt Mode - Intended for boxes with lids that
can be opened (e.g.; jewelry or cash boxes).
* Response time will be affected by the type of motion (walking, running, dropping, etc.) as well as other tasks being processed by the panel.

PROGRAMMING
Each transmitter has its own unique serial number,
assigned during manufacture, which must be "enrolled" in
the control panel before the device can be used with the
system.
Please refer to the control panel's installation
instructions for details on device enrollment. Please
note that you must program a separate zone for each
loop you are using on the transmitter.
MOUNTING
The 5870API is mounted directly to the asset being
protected via 3M VHB double-sided tape. The device
should be mounted in an inconspicuous place on the asset.
Refer to Mounting Notes section for additional
information.

When configured for use with the UL approved control
panels (refer to UL Approved Compatible Control
Panel list), the panel must be programmed not to
transmit off-premises for the 5870API zone only.
If the asset being protected will not be moved under
normal circumstances (i.e., a painting), it can be
programmed as a 24 hour zone type. If the asset will
occasionally be moved when the system is disarmed,
it can be programmed as a perimeter zone type.
When installing the 5870API, select an area on the
asset that is stable, clean and flat. Avoid areas that
are subject to vibration (i.e.; speaker grills)
When using Loop 3 the device must be mounted
horizontally.
Determine the optimum mounting location taking care
to avoid damp locations. To maximize the
transmitter's range, avoid mounting the device to
metal objects, if possible.
Temporarily mount the device to the asset to be pro-
tected using masking tape or any suitable method.
Before the transmitter is permanently mounted,
conduct Go/No Go tests (refer to the Control Panel's
instructions) to verify adequate signal strength from
the mounting location.
Always verify range by holding the sensor in the
approximate mounting location and moving the asset.
The panel (in test mode) should respond to the trans-
missions. If not, move the asset sensor to a more
suitable mounting location.
Remove the tape backing paper and firmly press the
sensor in the desired mounting location. Apply firm
pressure for 5 seconds.
Verify operation by moving the asset. Always check
the alarm panel keypad to verify that the zone has
tripped.
