5809 - Ademco Wireless Heat Detector

ADEMCO's 5809 wireless fixed heat and rate-of-rise temperature sensor offers expanded fire detection and installation flexibility. It is ideal for hard to wire locations and applications that require more than smoke detection. With no wires to run, the 5809 is fast and easy to install.

The 5809 combines both rate-of-rise and fixed temperature sensors. Fires typically cause a rapid rise in temperature in the surrounding area. The 5809's rate-of-rise thermostat senses the rise in temperature and signals an alarm if the increase is 15° or more per minute. A built-in fixed temperature sensor will also signal an alarm if the environmental temperature rises above 135°F. The 5809 is UL Listed (UL521) and CSFM approved for commercial and residential applications.

The 5809 is UL Listed (UL521) and CSFM approved for commercial and residential applications.

Contains a built-in transmitter which can send alarm, supervisory and battery condition messages to the system's receiver/control unit
Powered by a three-volt lithium battery. If the battery voltage gets too low, the 5809 sends a low battery signal to the control panel
Features a tamper switch, which causes a trouble signal to be sent to the control if the unit is removed from the mounting base
UL Listed for Commercial (when using 5881EH Receiver) or Residential applications

WIRELESS TRANSMISSION PATH TEST

A good RF transmission path must be established from the proposed mounting location before permanently installing the detector. To determine that there is a good signal reception from the proposed location, perform the test procedure described in the installation instructions procedure.

MOUNTING THE DETECTOR

You can mount the 5809 on a wall or ceiling within the protection area:

Wall mounting: Mount the detector 4" - 6" from the ceiling
Ceiling mounting: Mount the detector at least 4" from any wall. Make sure the normal ceiling temperature will not exceed 100°F.
Refer to NFPA Standard 72 for detector spacing and other requirements. Maximum spacing for UL installations is 50' x 50'
Avoid mounting the detector near heat generating devices (e.g. ovens, heat vents, furnaces, boilers)

IMPORTANT: Heat detectors should be used for property protection. Reliance should not be placed solely on heat detectors for life safety. When life safety is involved, smoke detectors MUST also be used. Detectors must not be painted.

Testing the detector

The test procedure should be performed to determine a good RF transmission path and again after installation is completed.

CAUTION: The fixed temperature sensor is intended for one-time use. Prolonged heat during testing can damage the unit. If used carefully following the instructions described below, the heat from a portable hair dryer can be used to test the unit. If the round disk on top of the detector detaches, the detector must be replaced.

Activate the control panel's test mode
Use either method (a) or (b) or activate the detector:
(a) Press and release the activation button on the PC board assembly OR
(b) Holding a portable hair dryer about 12 to 18 inches away from the detector, turn the dryer on and aim the warm air at the side of the detector.

CAUTION: Aiming the dryer directly at the round disk on the detector can damage the unit to be replaced.

The system's keypad should beep and the detector's ID should be displayed
Exit the control's test mode
