1. Remove the smoke detector from its 

mounting plate by twisting the detector 
counterclockwise. If you are replacing 
batteries, remove the existing batteries from 
their compartments and disconnect the 
battery clips. 

2.  Install the new 9-volt alkaline batteries in 

their respective compartments as follows:  
Snap the battery contacts onto the terminals 
of the first battery (be sure to observe 
correct polarity and do not force battery 
clips). Holding the contacts on the battery, 
install the battery into its compartment. 
Make sure the battery is fully seated (see 
Figure 1). 

  Connect the second 9-volt alkaline 

battery in a similar manner and install it in 
the second compartment. 

3.  Re-install the smoke detector onto the 

mounting plate by turning it clockwise, 
and test its operation as described in the 
TEST section. 

4.  The LED indicator should flash about 

once every 40 seconds, indicating normal 
operation. If the batteries are not installed 
correctly, the smoke detector will not 
function. If the unit appears not to be 
sending a signal during any of the tests, 
check for correct battery installation. 

Note:  If the detector’s ID has not been programmed into the system (i.e., this is an initial 
detector installation), refer to the 

  section below and perform the ID 

“enrolling” procedure before mounting or testing the detector. 

 

The control system must “enroll” the smoke detector’s ID during installation of the system. The 
control should be programmed to “enroll” the 5806 as an “RF” type unit (i.e., supervised RF), with 
a loop number of "1."  With the control in the programming mode, you can either manually enter 
the serial number or transmit from the device (push the "Enroll" button [see Figure 1], install the 
battery, etc.). See the control unit’s installation instructions for further details. 
Be sure to verify that the detector has been enrolled into the system by using the procedure  
provided in TESTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR section on page 6. 
If a “low battery” message is displayed and you suspect that the batteries are not actually low, 
remove both batteries, wait 20 seconds, re-insert them, and re-test the detector. Repeat this 
procedure, if necessary.  

 

For tamper protection, cut the wire jumper indicated in Figure 1. After the detector has been 
mounted, a magnet must then be installed on the wall or ceiling next to the detector.  
To ensure proper positioning of the magnet after the detector has been mounted, place a light 
pencil mark on the side of the detector near the center of the reed switch (see Fig. 1).

First, determine the best location for the 
smoke detector (one that provides strong 
wireless transmission paths AND proper 
smoke detector protection). See 
RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR 
SMOKE DETECTORS (on next page).  
A good RF transmission path must be 
established from the proposed mounting 
location before permanently installing the 
detector. To check, perform the test in 
TESTING THE SMOKE DETECTOR.  

Detectors should be located as close to the 
center of the ceiling as possible. If this is not 
practical, detectors may be located on the 
ceiling up to 4 inches (10cm) from the 
ceiling-wall junction. Do not install near 
forced-air heating or air conditioning ducts 
(outlets or returns). For sloped, gabled, or 
high-peaked ceilings, detectors must be 
mounted between 4 and 6 inches (10 and 
15cm) from the highest point in the ceiling. 
Detectors may also be wall-mounted. Check 
with your local Fire Department about code 
requirements. Wall-mounted detectors 
should be located 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) 
from the ceiling. 
In mobile homes, battery-operated detectors 
are not generally installed by the 
manufacturer. Mount detectors ONLY on an 
interior wall. 
1. 

 Once a suitable location has been 

determined, install the mounting plate 
on the ceiling or on the wall. Use the 
two screws and anchors provided. 

 
2.  Latch the detector onto the mounting 

plate as follows: Position the detector 
onto the plate, mating the small center 
post on the detector with the "dimple" at 
the center of the mounting plate, and 
aligning the index marks on the sides of 
the plate and the detector. Then turn the 
detector in a clockwise direction so that 
the holding tabs on the detector engage 
the locking tabs on the mounting plate. 

3.  If the tamper has been enabled (as 

indicated previously), a magnet (No. 
39WH-M) should be mounted on the wall 
or ceiling surface next to the detector 
(1/4” max) in the specified location (see 
Fig. 2).  

4. Test the detector immediately after 

completing the installation and refer to 
the control system's instructions for 
additional information concerning the use 
of wireless smoke detectors.
