ADEMCO 5820L
Door/Window Contact Transmitter
Installation and Setup Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5820L is a single-zone Slim-Line Door/Window
contact transmitter that provides wireless notification
of intrusion. The 5820L can be used only with alarm
systems that support 5800 Series wireless devices.
The 5820L has its own unique serial number
permanently assigned during manufacture. You must
enroll the transmitter’s serial number in the control
panel before it will operate in the system. Refer to the
control panel’s installation instructions for
programming details.
Note: During programming of the control panel,
5820L transmitters must be enrolled as Input
Type 3 (Supervised RF), Loop 1.
The transmitter is powered by one AAA Lithium (or
alkaline) battery that is easily replaced when a low
battery condition is indicated by the control panel.
TAMPER PROTECTION
Front and back-case tamper is provided using the
same switch. The front-case tamper is always
enabled. Adding the third screw as shown in Figure 2
enables the back-case tamper.

Figure 2. 5820L Mounting/Battery Location
MOUNTING
The description that follows assumes that the
transmitter will be mounted as shown in Figure 1, with
the magnet located adjacent to the unit's left side. The
transmitter may, however, be installed in any direction,
as long as the relationship of the unit to the magnet is
maintained as shown in Figure 1.
1. Temporarily mount the 5820L and magnet using
the double-back tape supplied.
Note: Before mounting the transmitter and magnet
permanently using the double-back tape or mounting
screws, conduct a Go/No Go test (see control's
instructions) to verify adequate signal strength and
reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.
2. If the Go/No Go test was successful, remove the
transmitter's cover by inserting the flat blade of
a small screwdriver into the opening slot at one
end of the unit as shown in Figure 1, and
separating the two halves.
3. The 5820L must only be mounted against a flat
surface. A curved surface would cause undue
stress to the unit and possible failure to operate
properly.
4. Install mounting screws in the two outside
mounting holes as shown in Figure 2 using a #1
Phillips.
5. If the case-back tamper switch will be used, install
a third screw in the middle hole.
6. Mount the magnet (supplied) adjacent to the two
vertical positioning lines on the case side (see
Figure 1). The gap can be one-half an inch
maximum.
7. To reinstall the cover, position the cover so that it
covers the mounted case-back, and snap-shut.
The two case halves can only be fitted together in
one direction.
Note: Do NOT attempt to remove the PCB from the
plastic cover for any reason.
BATTERY
INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
Replace battery only with same or equivalent type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the battery
manufacturer’s instruction.
Remove the transmitter's cover (if it is not off
already) as described in Mounting; step 2.
1. Observe correct polarity and insert the battery
provided into the battery retainer clips as shown in
Figure 2.
Note:Replace battery only with type specified in the
Specifications paragraph.
