GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5818MNL Recessed Door Transmitter is a single-
zone, reed switch magnetic contact sensor that
provides concealed protection for a door. It is intended
for use only with alarm systems that support 5800
series devices.
The transmitter is powered by one AAA Lithium (or
alkaline) battery that is easily replaced when a low
battery condition is indicated by the control panel.
PROGRAMMING
Each 5818MNL has its own unique identification code
(serial number) permanently
manufacture.
You must "enroll" the transmitter's serial number in the
control panel before it will operate in the system.
NOTE: During programming of the control panel,
5818MNL transmitters must be enrolled as Input Type
3 (Supervised RF), Loop 1 (mandatory for UL
installations).
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Do not use on metal frame doors.
Mounting
Before selecting the mounting location, please read
the following:
• The preferred direction of mounting is vertical,
although the 5818MNL may be mounted in any
direction if satisfactory
transmissions is obtained.
• • • • A physical barrier (e.g., a molding strip on the
door frame) should be present to protect against
defeat of the contact from outside the premises.
• • • • Make sure that no more than 1/2" gap exists
between the faces of the transmitter and magnet
cases when they are installed and set.
• • • • Once installed, an alarm signal must be
obtained before a separation of 2" is reached
as the door is opened.
