RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices
Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72
noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all
rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection, a smoke detector should
be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor
family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
For maximum protection, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in
the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and
storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway
outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.

• Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where
electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air
conditioners, or humidifiers) are used.
• Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if
the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm
control is located, or in any room where alarm control
connections to an AC source or phone lines are made. If
detectors are not so located, a fire within the room
could prevent the control from reporting a fire or an
intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA
REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE
SOUNDING FOR FIRE NOTIFICATION
APPLIANCES.
Recommendations for Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a
home or commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the
upper windows in a multi-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals can
still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order
(alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

5881M (5881M*) Up to 16 5800
5881H (5882H*) Up to 16 5800
* Used in Canada
ULWireless may not be used in UL Commercial
Burglary installations.
Remote Keypads
Up to 4 of any of the following keypads may be used:
Fixed-Word Keypads:
6127*, 6128, and 6137.
* This keypad cannot be used if a 4285/4286 VIP
Module is being used.
Alpha Keypads: 6139 (2-line alphanumeric display).
6138 (1-line alphanumeric display).
When programming from a keypad, a 6139 2-
line alpha keypad must be connected (but
need not stay in the system).
Security Codes
• Installer code is User 1
• One Master code for entire system (User 2).
• 4 secondary user codes (Users 3–6)
• One duress code (User 8).
Duress Code: An emergency code that, when
used to disarm or arm the system, will send a
silent duress message to the central station.
Keypad Panic Keys
• Up to 3 programmable panic key functions are
provided.
• Designated as Zones 7, 95, 96.
• Activated by wired and wireless keypads
• Reported separately.
Paging Feature
If the paging feature is to be included in this system,
(refer to Split/Dual Reporting field in SECTION 4: Data
Field Programming), the pager will respond to certain
conditions as they occur in the system by displaying a
7-digit system status code that indicates the type of
condition that has occurred.
The 7-digit status code can be preceded by up to 16
digits (programmed in a separate field), which can
consist of a PIN number, Subscriber account number, or
any additional data that may be required to be sent to
the pager.
Quick Arm Feature
“Quick Arm”may be programmed, allowing use of the
[#] key in place of the security code for arming (Quick
Arm will not work unless the Master code has been
programmed into the system).
Optional Bell Supervision
This is a hardware-enabled option, achieved by cutting
a red jumper on the PC board. If the “Alarm Output”
loop connected to an external sounder is then opened or
shorted, a “bell trouble”message will be displayed at
the keypads, accompanied by a trouble sound. A trouble
report will also be sent to the central station.
Optional RF Jam Detection
If RF jam detection is programmed for a 5800 RF
system, the RF receiver will detect a condition that may
impede proper RF reception (i.e., jamming or other RF
interference). Such a condition will produce a message
display, and a report will be sent to the central
monitoring station (if trouble reporting is enabled).
Optional Output Relays
• Up to 4 relays using one 4204 Relay Module.
• Actions programmable to respond to zone activity or
manual keypad entries.

Cabinet and Lock Installation
ULFor Residential Fire and/or Burglary installa-
tions, use the ADEMCO RES-UL cabinet.
For Commercial Burglary installations, use the
ADEMCO COM-UL cabinet.
Before installing the cabinet's contents,
remove the metal cabinet knockouts required
for wiring entry. Do not attempt to remove the
knockouts after the circuit board has been
installed.
1. Mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall in a
clean, dry area that is not readily accessible to the
general public using fasteners or anchors (not
supplied), in the four cabinet mounting holes.
2. Remove cabinet door, then remove the lock knockout
from the door. Insert the key into the lock.
3. Position the lock in the hole, making certain that the
latch will make contact with the latch bracket when
the door is closed.
4. When correctly positioned, push the lock until it is
held securely by its snap tabs.
Notes:
•Use an ADEMCO No. N4445 Lock.
