Figure 2. 509 Transmitter
When smoke triggers the detector it sounds
its siren. The microphone in the 509
transmitter detects the sound and causes
the transmitter to send a signal to the 500r+
control unit.
If the battery of the smoke detector is low
then the detector starts giving a series of
short “beeps”. The transmitter also detects
these sounds and sends a low battery signal
to the control unit. The transmitter also
sends a low battery signal if its own batteries
are low. Installation
Connecting Batteries
There are two sets of batteries that need
connecting in order to make the smoke
detector work: the smoke detector’s own
battery, and two 1.5V ‘AAA’ size in the
transmitter.
Follow the instruction leaflet to connect the
smoke detector’s battery.
Insert the two AAA batteries into the
transmitter. Make sure you insert them with
the correct polarity.
Register the Detector
To register the detector with the control unit
see “Programming - Detectors” in the 500r+
Installation and Programming Guide. Make
sure you point the red activity LED on the
transmitter at the Learn sensor on the 500r+.
Trigger the transmitter by pressing the Test
button.
Check Final Location
When siting the smoke detector follow the
recommendations in the instruction leaflet
that accompanies the detector.
Once you have chosen a site for the
detector you should check that the transmit-
ter can communicate successfully with the
control unit. Make sure the control unit is in
programming mode and then:
1) Enter the walk test command (40).

2) Scroll through to the zone number of the
smoke detector you wish to test, using
the Fire and Medical buttons.
3) Hold the transmitter and smoke detector
in the position where they are to be
located and operate by pressing the test
button on the smoke detector.
The smoke detector siren should
operate and the activity LED on the
transmitter flash briefly as it transmits an
alarm signal.
4) Check that the control unit has received
the signal.
Install Detector
Note: While drilling holes in wall or ceiling,
place the smoke detector where it will not be
covered in dust
1) Place the transmitter against the ceiling
where you want the detector to be.
2) Mark and drill fixing holes in the ceiling.
Secure the transmitter to ceiling or wall
using 8mm countersunk head screws.
3) Undo the detector base-plate from the
detector, and mount it on the transmitter
using the fixing screws provided.
4) Slot the detector body into the base
plate and make sure it is secure.
Service
The batteries in the 509 transmitter should
last 2 years with normal use. Replace the
batteries in the transmitter at the same time
as you replace the battery in the smoke
detector.
