ADEMCO 5881EN Series

RF Receiver

INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE

INTRODUCTION

The 5881EN Series of RF receivers is designed for use with control

panels that support an RF receiver connection

via the keypad

terminals

. The receiver recognizes alarm, status, and keypad

control messages from wireless transmitters operating at 345MHz.

One or two individually identified receivers can be employed,

depending on the control used. Connection of multiple receivers to a

control can provide redundant coverage or extend coverage in large

areas.

These receivers feature a Spatial Diversity System that virtually

eliminates the possibility of "nulls" and "dead spots" within the

coverage area. The 5881EN series of receivers use ADEMCO’s High

Security

technology,

and

can

be

used

in

commercial fire

installations. Additionally, the 5881ENHC receiver contains front

and back tamper that permits its use in commercial burglary and

fire installations.

For 5881ENHC Receivers:

•

In commercial fire applications, the receiver can only be

used with control panels that are approved for use in

Commercial Fire Installations. When the 5881ENHC is

used in commercial fire applications, DIP switch 5 must

be in the ON position.

•

In commercial burglary applications, the 5881ENHC can

only be used with control panels that are approved for

use in Commercial Burglary Installations.

•

In commercial fire applications, a keypad must be

connected to Keypad Port 2 in the control. The keypad

must be mounted on the control or within 3 feet of the

control with the wiring encased in conduit.

•

All power-limited wiring must be separated from non-

power limited and high-voltage wiring by ¼" (6.4mm).

Each receiver supports the number of zones shown below.

5881ENL

Up to 8 zones

5881ENM

Up to 16 zones

5881ENH

*See below

5881ENHC

*See below

* The number of zones that the 5881ENH receiver can support

depends on the control with which it is used. See the control

panel’s instructions for specific details.

If a receiver is connected to a system in which more than the

permitted number of wireless zones have been programmed, a "SET

UP ERROR" message (on alpha keypads) or an "E4 or “E8”"

message (on fixed-word keypads) will be displayed on the system's

keypad, and none of the zones will be protected.

The instruction manual that accompanies the control includes

recommendations regarding receiver and transmitter locations, the

types

of

wireless

zones

that

can

be

programmed

(e.g.,

ENTRY/EXIT, PERIMETER, INTERIOR, etc.) and the procedure

for programming the receivers.

These receivers should not be installed in an area subject to

environmental extremes of below freezing (such as an unheated

warehouse) or extremely high temperatures (such as an attic).

INSTALLATION

With some controls, a receiver may be mounted directly inside the

control's cabinet (receiver circuit board only, without its plastic

housing) instead of remotely (in its own housing). In both cases,

avoid mounting the receiver antennas against a metal surface.

NOTE:

You may only mount the 5881ENHC its own plastic

housing. If you attempt to mount the 5881ENHC in the control’s

cabinet, the receiver constantly reports a tamper condition.

1.

Remove the receiver's cover by inserting a screwdriver blade in

the slot at the center of the cover's lower edge.

2.

If the receiver is to be mounted within the control's cabinet

(refer to Figure 1):

a. Remove the receiver's circuit board from its base by bending

back the two flexible plastic tabs that hold the board's lower

edge.

b. In the control's cabinet, unfasten and move the control

circuit board downward (if already installed).

c.

Hang two mounting clips (provided with the receiver) on the

raised cabinet tabs, as shown in Detail B of Figure 1.

d.

Insert the top of the receiver board between the rows of slots

at the top of the cabinet, as shown in Detail A.

e. Position the base of the receiver board onto the mounting

clips and secure to the cabinet with the supplied screws. See

Detail B.

f.

Hang two mounting clips (supplied with the control board),

on the raised cabinet tabs as shown in Detail C in Figure 1.

g. Insert the top of the control board into the slots of the

mounting clips secured in step e above.

h. Position the lower end of the control board into place on the

mounting clips and secure both to the cabinet with the two

supplied screws.

i.

Insert both grounding lugs (supplied with the receiver)

through the top of the cabinet into the

left-hand

terminals of

the antenna blocks (located on the upper edge of the receiver

board), and secure them to the cabinet with the screws

provided, as shown in Detail D.

j.

Insert the receiver’s antennas through the top of the cabinet,

into the blocks’

right-hand

terminals, and tighten the

screws.

k. Affix the receiver's Summary of Connections label to the

inside of the control's cabinet door.

l.

Discard the receiver's unused plastic cover and base.

3.

If the receiver is to be located remotely from the control in its

own plastic enclosure (not in a cabinet):

You will not need the circuit board mounting clips, grounding

lugs and screws included with the receiver.

a. If concealed wiring is to be used, route it through the

rectangular opening at the rear of the base before mounting.

For surface wiring entry, a thin breakaway area is provided

along the base's right edge.

b. Mount the receiver in the selected location. For greatest

security, use all four mounting holes (two key slot holes and

two round holes) provided in the plastic base.

c. If installing a 5881ENHC, install a flat-head screw

(supplied) in the case tamper tab as shown in Figure 2.

When the receiver is pried from the wall, the tamper tab will

break off and remain on the wall. This will activate a tamper

switch in the receiver and cause generation of a tamper

signal. Note that this signal will also be generated when the

receiver’s front cover is removed.

d. Affix the receiver's Summary of Connections label to the

inside of the housing cover.
