Honeywell Home ADEMCO 5820L Installation And Setup Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION

The 5820L is a single-zone Slim-Line Door/Window
contact transmitter that provides wireless notification
of intrusion. The 5820L can be used only with alarm
systems that support 5800 Series wireless devices.
The 5820L has its own unique serial number
permanently assigned during manufacture. You must
enroll the transmitter's serial number in the control
panel before it will operate in the system. Refer to the
control panel's installation
programming details.
Note: During programming of the control panel,
5820L transmitters must be enrolled as Input

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.

TAMPER PROTECTION

Front and back-case tamper is provided using the
same switch. The front-case tamper is always
enabled. Adding the third screw as shown in Figure 2
enables the back-case tamper.
