Honeywell Home 5800RPS Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions
General Information
The 5800RPS Wireless Roller Plunger Switch is a plunger switch contact that provides
concealed protection for doors. It is intended for use only with alarm systems that support
Honeywell 5800 series devices. The transmitter is powered by a long-life lithium battery that
is easily replaceable when a low battery condition is indicated by the control.
Programming the ID Number
Each 5800RPS has its own unique serial number permanently assigned during manufacturing.
The serial number is located on the label attached to the antenna. This should never be removed.
The control panel is used to "enroll" the transmitter's ID during installation of the alarm system.
The zone input type should be as "RF" (i.e. Supervised "RF") type.
Refer to the control panel's installation instructions for further details.
Preliminary Considerations
DOORS:
1. A 3/4" hole is drilled into the door frame on the hinge side, at least 4 feet above the floor,
and should be 1 1/4" deep. A second smaller hole of 1/4" diameter can be drilled from
the center of the first hole further into the frame to accomodate the wire antenna or insert
the antenna into the space between the door frame and the stud framing.
The length of the 1/4" diameter hole should be long enough to accomodate the wire
antenna without bending. The unit may still operate if the antenna is bent, however the
range will be reduced, and should be verified. A plastic antenna guide is included as an aid
for the installer, and can be inserted into the 1/4" hole if need be.
Before drilling any holes, tape the transmitter in its approximate location (with battery installed
2.
as described undr BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT; see page back) and conduct
Go/No Go tests (see control's instructions) to verify adequate signal strength. Relocate the
transmitter if necessary.
NOTE: THE 5800RPS IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO BE USED ON WINDOWS, AS IT
WOULD REQUIRE A HOLE DRILLED THROUGH BOTH THE INNER AND OUTERSKIN OF
THE FRAME THUS CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF WATER INGRESS AND DAMAGE.
Step 1 Step
1
Measure and Drill for Plunger
Use a 3/4" drill bit to drill into the
door jam to a 1 1/4" depth.
2
Step Step
1
Drill for Antenna
A 1/4" hole must now be drilled in the
center of the cavity through the door
jamb. This is so the antenna can be in-
serted through the door jamb frame
and the supporting studs.

Step Step
1
Slide on Straw
Slide the antenna into supplied
antenna guide (straw).
*It is important to always keep the antenna straight. Never cut or coil up the antenna. You may fold the antenna in half if space is a concern. This may affect range.
