Figure 3. Mounting Across Ceiling Panel Support
DO NOT attach the 5800COA to removable ceiling panels. Attach
it across panel support as shown in Figure 3.
CAUTION
Airborne dust particles can enter the carbon monoxide alarm.
Honeywell recommends the removal of the 5800COA before
beginning construction or any other dust producing activity. Carbon
monoxide alarms are not to be used with device guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

Tamper Protection
The 5800COA has a built-in tamper switch that will cause a CO
Trouble message to be displayed at the console of the alarm system if
it is removed from its mounting base. The 5800COA includes a
tamper-resistant feature that prevents removal from the mounting
base without the use of a tool. To engage the tamper-resistant
feature, cut the small plastic tab located on the mounting base
(Figure 2), and then install the unit. To remove the unit from the
base once it has been made tamper resistant, use a small screwdriver
to depress the square tamper release tab, located on the skirt of the
mounting base, and turn the unit counterclockwise.
TESTING THE 5800COA
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the alarm
system is undergoing maintenance, in order to prevent unwanted
alarms. Testing the 5800COA will activate an alarm and send a
signal to the panel. Also, the test function cannot be used if the
5800COA has a trouble or end-of-life condition.
The 5800COA must be tested after installation and following periodic
maintenance.
Testing 5800COA Operation
This test checks the 5800COA sounds, LEDs, and transmitter.
1.
A recessed test button is located on the housing (see Figure 5).
2.
Push and hold the recessed test button for a minimum of 5
seconds. Use a small screwdriver or Allen key with maximum
diameter of 5mm. The alarm panel will trigger and then the
5800COA will go into alarm. The sounder begins the temporal 4
pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel's keypad
should display the zone number in alarm. If the tool is removed
from the recessed button the sounder shuts off and red LED
stops blinking.

Testing Signal Strength
This test should be performed before installation to determine a
strong communication path with the control panel and after
installation is complete. Also, the owner/user should test the unit's
signal strength at least weekly.
1.
Activate the wireless system's GO/NO GO TEST mode from the
keypad (refer to the control's instruction manual).
2.
Depress and hold the TEST button. If the unit has not
previously detected a low battery condition and it is within
proper sensitivity limits, it should immediately transmit an
alarm signal to the control panel. The built-in horn will start to
sound about 2.5 seconds after depressing the button.
3.
The wireless system's keypad should emit at least three audible
sounds when the alarm transmission is received and displays
the transmitting zone number.
4.
When the console has received the test signal, release the TEST
button. The horn will stop and a few seconds later the zone
number will clear from the console display.
5.
If the console does not respond as noted, check the polarity of
the battery and be sure it is fresh. If this is an initial
installation, try moving the 5800COA to another location that
provides proper reception. Also be sure that the device has been
"enrolled" by the control panel (see PROGRAMMING). Then,
repeat the test.
6.
Turn off the system's TEST mode from the keypad (security code
+ OFF).
Testing Programmed Loops
This test should be performed before installation to ensure that the
5800COA has been programmed and is operational in the system.
1.
Activate the system's TRANSMITTER ID SNIFFER mode from
the keypad (see the control panel's instructions). All
programmed wireless zones will be displayed, one by one, on the
system keypad. Make sure the zone is displayed in the sequence.
(If not, recheck that the zone has been properly programmed.)
2.
With the 5800COA mounted to the mounting base, press the
TEST button. The associated zone should disappear from the
keypad on the next display cycle. This means that the system
has received a transmission from the zone you programmed.
3.
When testing is complete, enter the Installer code + the OFF
key to exit TEST mode.
When all system testing has been completed, notify the central
station that the system is back on line.
