Honeywell 5800MICRA Folheto

Wireless Recessed

Transmitter

Insert the 5800MICRA's antenna into the 
extrusion hollow then press the transmitter 
body into the cored opening. Insure that the 
antenna moves freely in the window channel 
during installation.

Under no circumstances should the outer wall of the 
window frame be penetrated by the Forstner bit.

GENERAL INFORMATION 
The 5800MICRA wireless recessed transmitter is a reed switch magnetic contact 
transmitter that allows the transmitter to be concealed from view when installed 
in a window. It is intended for use only with alarm systems that support 5800 series 
devices. The transmitter is powered by a long-life lithium battery that is easily 
replaceable when a low battery is indicated by the control panel. 

Programming the ID Number 
Each 5800MICRA has its own unique identification code (serial number) 
permanently assigned during manufacturing.

The control panel is required to "enroll" the transmitter's ID during installation of 
the alarm system. The zones input type should be enrolled as "RF" (i.e. Supervised 
RF) Type (mandatory for all UL installations). 

Refer to the control panel's installation instructions for further details.

PRELIMINARY CONSlDERATlONS
Read all of this and the next section before installing the unit.
1. Select a location for the transmitter on the frame of the window. 

5800MICRA TRANSMITTER
The 5800MICRA transmitter will require a 3/4" diameter hole (using 
a 3/4" Forstner bit) drilled into the edge of the window frame no more 
than 11/32" deep. Its accompanying magnet will need a 3/4" diameter 
hole drilled in the side of the window sash, no more than 11/32" deep.  
BEFORE DRlLLlNG ANY HOLES, SEE ITEM 2 BELOW AND MOUNTlNG 
SECTION ON PAGE 2.

FOR VINYL SLIDING WINDOWS the preferred direction of mounting is vertical.  
FOR HUNG WINDOWS the 5800MICRA must be mounted horizontally in the 
window sill with the accompanying magnet mounted in the lower window sash. 
(see Step 1 - Measure & Drill in Figure 1)

2. Before drilling any holes, tape the transmitter and magnet in their 

approximate locations (with battery installed and unit together as 
described under BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT (see Page 2) 
and conduct Go/No Go tests (see control's instructions) to verify 
adequate signal strength. Reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.

Make sure that no more than a 1/2" gap will be present between the faces 
of the transmitter and magnet cases when they are installed and set. Also make 
sure the 'iON' graphic on the transmitter and magnet are aligned with each 
other as per Step 3 - Sash Magnet Placement in Figure 1.

  When installed, an alarm signal must be obtained before a clear space of 2" 

is reached as the window is opened.
