5800 Series Transmitter Setup
• Transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be enrolled in the system using the #93 Menu Mode
Programming, or via the downloader.
• Some transmitters can support more than one “zone” (loops or inputs) (e.g., 5817CB). Each loop must be assigned a
different zone number.
Transmitter Supervision
Supervised RF transmitters send a check-in signal to the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is
not received from each supervised transmitter within a programmed period (field 1∗31), the “missing” transmitter
number(s) and “CHECK” or “TRBL” are displayed.
Some transmitters have built-in tamper protection, and annunciate a “CHECK” or “TRBL” condition if covers are
removed.
If a loss of supervision occurs on a transmitter programmed for Fire, it reports in Contact ID as a Fire Trouble
(373), not Loss of Supervision (381), to the central station.
Transmitter Input Types
All transmitters have one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) codes. Transmitters can be programmed as one
of the following types:
Type Description
RF
(Supervised
RF)
Sends periodic check-in signals, fault, restore, and low-battery signals. The transmitter must remain within the
receiver’s range.
UR
(Unsupervised
RF)
Sends all the signals that the RF type does, but the control does not supervise the check-in signals. The
transmitter may be carried off-premises.
BR
(Unsupervised
Button RF)
These send only fault signals. They do not send low-battery signals until they are activated. The transmitter may
be carried off-premises. Not applicable in Commercial installations.
Transmitter Battery Life
Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4 to 7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific
wireless device being used. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as large swings in temperature
may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation.
The wireless system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that point within the system.

Installing Output Devices
The VISTA-32FB supports up to 96 outputs. Each device must be programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to
activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP). The 4204, 4204CF, and/or 4140SN may be used as output devices.
NOTE: The first 32 of the 96 Output Devices may be supervised (zones 601-632). Only the relays on 4204CF modules
may be supervised. If supervision is programmed for other types of Output Devices, unpredictable results may occur.
Installing the 4204 (Burg Only) and 4204CF Relay Modules
Each 4204 module provides four relays with Form C (normally open and normally closed) contacts. Each 4204CF
module can be used to provide one style-Y supervised Notification Appliance Circuit to the system. For 4204CF modules,
only relays 1 and 3 on each module can be programmed.
The relay module will not operate until the device address you have set the DIP switches for is enabled in the
control’s Device Programming in the #93 Menu Mode .
