Warning Please Read Carefully
Note to Installers
This warning contains vital information. As the only individual in contact
with system users, it is your responsibility to bring each item in this warn-
ing to the attention of the users of this system.
System Failures
This system has been carefully designed to be as effective as possible.
There are circumstances, however, involving fire, burglary, or other types of
emergencies where it may not provide protection. Any alarm system of any
type may be compromised deliberately or may fail to operate as expected
for a variety of reasons. Some but not all of these reasons may be:
• Inadequate Installation
A security system must be installed properly in order to provide adequate
protection. Every installation should be evaluated by a security profes-
sional to ensure that all access points and areas are covered. Locks and
latches on windows and doors must be secure and operate as intended.
Windows, doors, walls, ceilings and other building materials must be of
sufficient strength and construction to provide the level of protection
expected. A reevaluation must be done during and after any construction
activity. An evaluation by the fire and/or police department is highly rec-
ommended if this service is available.
• Criminal Knowledge
This system contains security features which were known to be effective
at the time of manufacture. It is possible for persons with criminal intent
to develop techniques which reduce the effectiveness of these features. It
is important that a security system be reviewed periodically to ensure that
its features remain effective and that it be updated or replaced if it is found
that it does not provide the protection expected.
• Access by Intruders
Intruders may enter through an unprotected access point, circumvent a
sensing device, evade detection by moving through an area of insufficient
coverage, disconnect a warning device, or interfere with or prevent the
proper operation of the system.
•PowerFailure
Control units, intrusion detectors, smoke detectors and many other secu-
rity devices require an adequate power supply for proper operation. If a
device operates from batteries, it is possible for the batteries to fail. Even
if the batteries have not failed, they must be charged, in good condition
and installed correctly. If a device operates only by AC power, any inter-
ruption, however brief, will render that device inoperative while it does
not have power. Power interruptions of any length are often accompanied
by voltage fluctuations which may damage electronic equipment such as a
security system. After a power interruption has occurred, immediately
conduct a complete system test to ensure that the system operates as
intended.
• Failure of Replaceable Batteries
This system’s wireless transmitters have been designed to provide several
years of battery life under normal conditions. The expected battery life is a
function of the device environment, usage and type. Ambient conditions
such as high humidity, high or low temperatures, or large temperature
fluctuations may reduce the expected battery life. While each transmitting
device has a low battery monitor which identifies when the batteries need
to be replaced, this monitor may fail to operate as expected. Regular test-
ing and maintenance will keep the system in good operating condition.
• Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices
Signals may not reach the receiver under all circumstances which could
include metal objects placed on or near the radio path or deliberate jam-
ming or other inadvertent radio signal interference.
• System Users
A user may not be able to operate a panic or emergency switch possibly
due to permanent or temporary physical disability, inability to reach the
device in time, or unfamiliarity with the correct operation. It is important
that all system users be trained in the correct operation of the alarm sys-
tem and that they know how to respond when the system indicates an
alarm.
•SmokeDetectors
Smoke detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occu-
pants of a fire for a number of reasons, some of which follow. The smoke
detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Smoke may
not be able to reach the smoke detectors, such as when the fire is in a
chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke
detectors may not detect smoke from fires on another level of the resi-
dence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of smoke produced and the rate of
burning. Smoke detectors cannot sense all types of fires equally well.
Smoke detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by care-
lessness or safety hazards such as smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded elec-
trical circuits, children playing with matches or arson.
Even if the smoke detector operates as intended, there may be circum-
stances when there is insufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape
in time to avoid injury or death.
• Motion Detectors
Motion detectors can only detect motion within the designated areas as
shown in their respective installation instructions. They cannot discrimi-
nate between intruders and intended occupants. Motion detectors do not
provide volumetric area protection. They have multiple beams of detec-
tion and motion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by
these beams. They cannot detect motion which occurs behind walls, ceil-
ings, floor, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors or windows. Any
type of tampering whether intentional or unintentional such as masking,
painting, or spraying of any material on the lenses, mirrors, windows or
any other part of the detection system will impair its proper operation.
Passive infrared motion detectors operate by sensing changes in tempera-
ture. However their effectiveness can be reduced when the ambient tem-
perature rises near or above body temperature or if there are intentional or
unintentional sources of heat in or near the detection area. Some of these
heat sources could be heaters, radiators, stoves, barbeques, fireplaces, sun-
light, steam vents, lighting and so on.
• Warning Devices
Warning devices such as sirens, bells, horns, or strobes may not warn peo-
ple or waken someone sleeping if there is an intervening wall or door. If
warning devices are located on a different level of the residence or prem-
ise, then it is less likely that the occupants will be alerted or awakened.
Audible warning devices may be interfered with by other noise sources
such as stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners or other appliances, or
passing traffic. Audible warning devices, however loud, may not be heard
by a hearing-impaired person.
• Telephone Lines
If telephone lines are used to transmit alarms, they may be out of service
or busy for certain periods of time. Also an intruder may cut the telephone
line or defeat its operation by more sophisticated means which may be
difficult to detect.
• Insufficient Time
There may be circumstances when the system will operate as intended,
yet the occupants will not be protected from the emergency due to their
inability to respond to the warnings in a timely manner. If the system is
monitored, the response may not occur in time to protect the occupants or
their belongings.
• Component Failure
Although every effort has been made to make this system as reliable as
possible, the system may fail to function as intended due to the failure of a
component.
• Inadequate Testing
Most problems that would prevent an alarm system from operating as
intended can be found by regular testing and maintenance. The complete
system should be tested weekly and immediately after a break-in, an
attempted break-in, a fire, a storm, an earthquake, an accident, or any kind
of construction activity inside or outside the premises. The testing should
include all sensing devices, keypads, consoles, alarm indicating devices
and any other operational devices that are part of the system.
• Security and Insurance
Regardless of its capabilities, an alarm system is not a substitute for
property or life insurance. An alarm system also is not a substitute for
property owners, renters, or other occupants to act prudently to prevent or
minimize the harmful effects of an emergency situation.

Tamper
The TR5164 has separate built-in wall and case tampers. The tampers are disabled by default on the NA
version (enabled on EU version). Section [804][900] options 3 and 4 enable or disable the tampers.
When the TR5164 is properly installed, the wall tamper on the back of the unit should be depressed by
the mounting surface. If the unit is removed, the tamper activates. The case tamper activates when the
case is opened and restores when the case is closed.
For proper unit tamper operation, the surface that the TR5164 is mounted to should be smooth and free
of obstructions that block access to the rear of the unit. Ensure that electrical wires do not run over and
under the module when it is mounted.
NOTE: The built-in wall and case tamper must be installed and enabled for UL/ULC Listed
Commercial Burglary applications.

Section 2: TR5164 Setup & Wiring
This section describes how to set up and wire the TR5164 module.
2.1 Unpack the TR5164
Check that the following parts are in the package:
• TR5164 PCB • Installation manual
• TR5164 plastic cabinet
2.2 Choose a Mounting Location for the TR5164
NOTE: Permanently mount the TR5164 receiver and wireless devices after placement testing
each device (Section 2.4, page 5; Section 5.1, page 11).
Find a place that is:
•Dry
• Within operating temperature range
• Central to the proposed placement of all wireless devices
• As high as possible. The range of the module is reduced if mounted below ground level.
• Far from sources of interference, including: electrical noise (computers, televisions, electric
motors, appliances, heating and air conditioning units), large metal objects like heating ducts and
plumbing which may shield the electro-magnetic waves
• Smooth and free of obstructions that block access to the rear of the unit
2.3 Connect the TR5164 Receiver
CAUTION: Remove all power (AC, DC, telephone lines)
from the system while connecting modules to the Keybus.
Connect the TR5164 to the four-wire Keybus of the

Section 5: Testing & Mounting
5.1 Test the Reception of Wireless Devices
Testing the proposed placement of each wireless device before it is mounted is very important.
Following these steps tests the signal strength between the TR5164 and the wireless devices.
All wireless devices can be tested together (global placement testing) or individually.
NOTE: After the wireless devices are enrolled, Installer Programming must be exited and then
re-entered at least once before performing a placement test.
To perform a global placement test:
1. Temporarily place the wireless devices in the preferred mounting locations.
2. At a system keypad, enter [,][8][Installer Code].
3. For WT5500 keypads, enter section [904] then key in [00]. In this mode, all wireless devices are
placement tested at the same time.
4. For PK keypads, set section [804][900] option 8 to ON. Enter section [904] then key in the zone
number of any wireless device.
5. Activate the device(s) as described in the associated installation sheet. For two-way wireless
keypads, press any key except the # key. The device name and zone number are displayed on the
LCD.
Read the test results at the keypad:
Result LED Keypad LCD Keypad Buzzer/Bell
Good Light 1 On Steady “Good” 1 Beep/Squawk
Bad Light 3 On Steady “Bad” 3 Beeps/Squawks
6. Activate the device until three “good”results in a row are achieved.
7. Mount the wireless devices where results are good. Devices indicating a bad result must be moved
to another location. The device may only have to be moved a few inches to correct a bad result.
Do not mount any device where a “bad” test result is indicated.
8. Perform step 4 for each wireless device enrolled on the TR5164.
Wait until the placement test of one device is shown/sounded before testing the next one.
Continue to test the devices until both the TR5164 and the devices are in good locations. If several
wireless devices produce “bad” test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a different location
(see Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a suitable location).
9. To exit the placement test and return to Installer Programming, press [#] twice.
Testing Individual Devices
1. Temporarily place the device in the preferred mounting location.
2. At a system keypad, enter [,][8][Installer Code].
3. Enter programming section [904] for wireless devices. For PK keypads, ensure section
[804][900] option 8 is OFF.
4. Enter the 2-digit zone number for the device.
5. Activate the device until a result is displayed on the keypad or sounded by the keypad or bell.
6. To test another device, press [#] once, then repeat steps 4 - 5. Continue to test the devices until
both the TR5164 and the devices are in acceptable locations.
If several wireless devices produce “bad” test results, consider moving the TR5164 to a better
location (see Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on finding a location for the TR5164).
7. To exit the placement test and Installer Programming, press [#] twice.

12
Testing Individual Wireless Keys

receiving transmissions from these devices, use the function keys on the wireless keys at several
different points throughout the installation.
NOTE: Two-way wireless keys must be activated by pressing any key before they become
functional.
5.2 Mounting
Once reception between the TR5164 and all wireless devices has been tested and verified (Section 5.1,
page 11), mount as follows:
TR5164
1. Pull the Keybus wires through the holes at the back of the cabinet or through the breakaway tabs at
the sides.
2. Mount the cabinet securely to the wall using the supplied 2 (two) screws. See Figure 2.

Section 6: Additional Notes
6.1 Trouble Conditions
The control panel constantly monitors for possible trouble conditions. If a trouble condition is
detected, the keypad beeps and the “Trouble” light turns on. Press [,][2] to display trouble conditions.
The following trouble conditions apply to the TR5164 and/or any enrolled devices.
•RF Jam Detected (on Power panels v.2.01 and below) - This trouble is generated when the
TR5164 detects an RF Jamming condition.
•Module Supervision- This trouble is generated if the panel loses communication with any module
connected to the Keybus. The event buffer logs a detailed description of the event.
•Wireless Device Low Battery - This trouble is generated when a wireless device exhibits a low
battery condition. Press [7] one, two, or three times to view which devices are experiencing battery
failure. An LED keypad indicates battery failure using zone lights 1 to 8. See Section 6.2, page 13
for more information.
•Zone Tamper - This trouble is generated when an enrolled wireless device is removed from its
mounting location.
•Zone Fault - Each wireless device sends a supervisory signal every 64 minutes (15 minutes for
EU). If the receiver does not receive a signal within the time programmed for the Wireless
Supervisory Window, a zone fault is generated.
•RF Delinquency (EU only) - Each wireless zone sends a supervisory signal every 15 minutes. If
the receiver does not receive a signal within 15 minutes, an RF Delinquency trouble is generated
for that zone.
NOTE: WT5500 keypad and wireless repeater AC and low battery troubles cause the
corresponding zone to show as open on the alarm panel.
6.2 Wireless Zone Low Battery Transmission
The battery status of each device is regularly communicated to the alarm panel. If a battery is low, the
system logs a Device Low Battery trouble.
The system delays reporting the event to the central station for the number of days programmed for
Zone Low Battery Transmission Delay in section [377] of the panel. This prevents unnecessary
reporting of the event if the user has been instructed on how to replace batteries.
Replacing Batteries in Wireless Devices
1. Refer to the battery installation instructions on the installation sheet of each device. Be sure to
observe correct polarity when installing new batteries.
2. When the new batteries are in place and the tamper is restored, the battery trouble is cleared and
the device should function normally.

14
Section 7: Troubleshooting
1. When I enter the 3-digit zone number for adding a wireless device, the keypad gives me a
long beep.
ESNs can be entered only when a TR5164 wireless receiver is connected to the Keybus. See
Section
2.3, page 5
for instructions on setting up and wiring the TR5164 module.
2. I have entered the ESN for the device but when I activate it, the zone does not show open on
the keypad.
Check the following:
• Ensure the ESN has been entered correctly.
• Ensure that the zone is enabled for the partition (if partition programming is used).
• Ensure that the wireless zone is not assigned to a zone used by PC5108 modules, an on-board
zone, or a keypad zone.
• Ensure that the zone is programmed for something other than “Null Operation,” and that the
Wireless Zone attribute is turned on.
3. When I try a module placement test I get no result or “bad” results.
Check the following (see Section 5.1, page 11 for more information on testing devices):
• Verify that the correct zone is being tested.
• Verify that the correct ESN was entered when the device was enrolled.
• Verify that the device is in range of the TR5164. Try testing the device in the same room as the
receiver.
• Confirm that the TR5164 is properly connected to the Keybus (see Section 2.4, page 5 for
TR5164 set up and wiring instructions).
• Check that the zone is being tested correctly (see Section 5.1, page 11 for testing instructions).
• Check that the batteries are working and installed correctly.
• Look for large metal objects that may be preventing the signal from reaching the TR5164.
The device must be located where consistent “good” results are obtained. If several devices show
“bad” results, move the receiver. See Section 2.2, page 5 for tips on choosing a mounting location
for the TR5164.
4. The LED on the motion detector does not turn on when I walk in front of the unit.
The LED is for walk test purposes only. See the Wireless PIR Instruction Sheet for walk test
instructions.
