INTRODUCTION

The 4281/4281CN and 5881/5882 family of RF receivers are

designed for use with QED control panels that support an RF

receiver connection

via the remote

keypad connection points

.

The receiver recognizes alarm, status and keypad control

messages from wireless transmitters operating at 345MHz (in

Canada, 315MHz for 4281CN series).

For brevity, the various versions of these receivers are referred

to herein as "receiver" unless otherwise noted.

One or two individually identified receivers can be employed,

depending on the control used. Connection of multiple

receivers to a QED con trol can provide redundant coverage or

extend coverage in large areas.

Multiple receivers do not

increase the number of transmitters that the system can

support.

See the QED control's instructions for specific

information regarding the number and type of receivers that

can be supported.

These receivers feature a Spatial Diversity System which

virtually elimi nates the possibility of "Nulls" and "Dead Spots"

within the coverage area.

• The 4281/4281CN family of receivers are used in

conjunction with 5700 series transmitters.

•

The 5881/5882 family of receivers are used in conjunction

with QED 5800 series transmitters.

•

The 5881EH is an enhanced version of the 5881H using

Ademco’s new SignalSentry™ technology, and is intended

for use in commercial fire installations. To comply with

commercial fire applications, the 5881EH can only be used

with control panels that are approved for use in commercial

fire installations.

Note:

You will find identification of the receiver model on the

unit’s PC board (see Diagram 2 for location).

Each receiver supports the number of zones shown below.

4281L/4281CN-L

Up to 4 zones

4281M/4281CN-M

Up to 8 zones

4281H/4281CN-H

*See

below

5881L/5882L

Up to 8 zones

5881M/5882M

Up to 16 zones

5881H/5881EH/5882H

*See below

*

The number of zones that the 4281H,

5881H/5881EH or 5882H receiver can support

depends on the QED control with which it is used.

See the QED 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 (Alpha keypads) or an "E4 or

“E8”" message (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 QED 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 QED 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.

Using The 5881EH In Commercial Fire Applications

The 5881EH must be mounted in a separate cabinet for

commercial fire applications. Refer to step 4.

1.

Remove the receiver's cover

by inserting and twisting 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 Diagram 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

short

(black) mounting clips (provided with the

receiver) on the raised cabinet tabs in the cabinet, as

shown in Detail B of Diagram 1.

d.

Insert the top of the receiver board into the supporting

slots provided at the top of the cabinet, as shown in

Detail A.

Swing the bottom of the receiver board into

the two short (black) mounting clips installed in step c,

and secure it to the cabinet with the accompanying

screws. See Detail B.

e.

Insert the top of the control’s board into the slot in the

black clips holding the lower edge of the receiver board

(see Detail B), and position two

long

(red) clips at the

lower edge of the board (see Detail C).

f.

Swing the lower edge of the control board into place,

and secure with two additional screws.

g.

Insert one of the two grounding lugs (provided with the

receiver) through the top of the cabinet and into the

left-hand

terminal of one of the antenna blocks (at the

upper edge of the receiver's circuit board). Secure it to

the cabinet with one of the two screws provided. See

Detail D.
