ADEMCO 5843
Switching Module
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5843 is a wireless receiver module intended for use
with alarm systems that support 5800 series wireless
devices. The 5843 enables the use of up to eight wireless
transmitters to operate a relay-activated device. The
5843 may only be used with other ADEMCO security
products. It is compatible with the following wireless
transmitters:
•5804
•5804-2
•5804E
•5804BD
•5804BDV
•5804WATCH
IMPORTANT: When the 5804WATCH is used in
conjunction with the 5843, it has a limited transmission
range. Therefore, use the 5804WATCH when in close
proximity to the 5843 (EX. use 5804WATCH in lieu of
the system keypad).
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Use the following guidelines when selecting a mounting
location for the 5843 Switching Module:
•Mount the 5843 in a high location for best wireless
reception.
•Do not mount the 5843 on or near metal objects.
This decreases range and/or blocks wireless
transmissions.
•The 5843 must be located at least 10 feet from any
remote keypads to avoid interference from the
microprocessors in those units.
•To avoid voltage loss that occurs on long power lines,
the external power supply unit should be mounted
in close proximity to the 5843.
Mounting
IMPORTANT: Before permanently mounting the
5843, perform the setup procedure described in the
Setting Up the 5843 section.
1. Remove the 5843's cover (using a small flathead
screwdriver, insert screwdriver’s tip in slot at top of
cover to remove).
2. Using the 5843 base as a drill template, position in
the desired location and drill two pilot holes. See
Figure 1 for mounting hole location.
3. Attach the 5843 base using the fasteners supplied.
Note: This product uses latching relays, which retain
their open/closed position even when power is
disconnected. Due to shocks or vibration during
shipment and installation, the out-of-box state of these
relays may be either open or closed. When power is first
applied, the relay will be set to its correct initial state.
Please bear this in mind during installation; it is
strongly recommended that you wire this module and
apply power to it before energizing any external circuit
controlled by the latching relay.
4. Connect desired relay switching wire to 5843
terminal 3 (COM) and terminal 1 (NC) or 2 (NO) as
required by the relay. Refer to relay manufacturer’s
instructions to determine if it operates with a NC or
NO switch.
5. Connect power wiring to the 5843’s terminals. Refer
Figure 1.
The 5843 can be powered from either a 12VDC or 9VAC
external power source.

Note: Use of power sources with higher or lower
voltages may result in damage or failure to operate
properly.
6. Position the wiring in the exit slot and reinstall the
5843’s cover on the base.

LED Operation
The Yellow, Red, and Green LEDs located above the DIP
switch and the RF interference LED located between the
two mounting holes, are described below.
LED Activates Upon
Yellow Indicates Relay state:
LED OFF = Reset State, NC contact connected
to COM.
LED ON = Set State, NO contact connects to
COM.
The relay state momentarily changes when an
enrolled button is pressed. When power is
applied, the relay is forced to the reset state.
Red Wireless Key enrollment/erase indicator. (Used to
determine status during Enrolling RF Transmitters
and Erasing All RF Transmitters procedures).
Green Normally on (lighted) when power is applied.
Flickering indicates RF is being processed.

DIP Switch Settings
Normal operation of the 5843 requires all DIP switches be in
the OFF position.
DIP switch 1 – Enables the Erasing All RF Transmitters Mode.
Refer to Erasing All RF Transmitters Section.
DIP switch 2 – Enables the Enrolling RF Transmitters Mode.
Refer to Enrolling RF Transmitters Section.
DIP switch 3 – Used during Enrolling RF Transmitters Mode.

ENROLLING RF TRANSMITTERS
Notes:
•To exit the Transmitter Enrollment Mode at any
time, set DIP switch 2 to the OFF position.
•Unless otherwise noted, the 5843 will automatically
exit the Transmitter Enrollment Mode if each step is
not accomplished within one minute of the other.
•If during the enrollment procedure excessive RF
interference is noted as indicated by the RF
Interference Indicator LED, it is advised that
enrollment be exited until free of RF interference.
This will prevent inadvertent enrollment of an
outside wireless transmitter device.
1. Set all DIP switches to the OFF position.
2. Place DIP switch 2 in the ON position.
3. Disconnect/reconnect power to the 5843.
Immediately after power is applied the following will
occur:
•The green LED will turn on and remain on.
•If the EEPROM is not full, the red LED will flash on
and off once for each transmitter that can still be
enrolled and then lights steady.
•If the EEPROM is full (8 wireless keys enrolled), the
red LED will remain on, indicating that no more
transmitters can be enrolled.
4. If enrolling… Do this…
An encrypted
transmitter (i.e.
5804E and
5804WATCH)
Press and hold all 4 buttons at
the same time. Verify that the
red LED turns off.
A bi-directional
encrypted
transmitter (i.e.
5804BDV)
Press and hold the B, C, & D
buttons at the same time.
Verify that the red LED turns
off.
A non-encrypted
transmitter (i.e.,
5804, 5804BD)
Press the button to be enrolled
twice. Verify that the red
LED turns off.
5. Place DIP switch 3 in the ON position.
6. Press and release the button that will be used to
operate the switch. Verify the red LED flashes 3
times.
Note: If an incorrect wireless transmitter is enrolled,
set DIP switch 3 to OFF and repeat the enrollment
procedure from step 4.
7. To add an additional button on the same key, repeat
step 6 for that button.
8. Place DIP switch 3 in the OFF position to accept the
button(s) enrolled.
9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 to enroll additional
wireless transmitters.
10. When all devices are enrolled, place DIP switch 2 in
the OFF position.
ERASING ALL RF TRANSMITTERS
Notes:
•To exit this procedure at any time, set DIP switch 1
to the OFF position and wait 5 seconds before
restarting procedure.
•Unless otherwise noted, the 5843 will automatically
exit the Erasing All RF Transmitters Mode if each
step is not accomplished within one minute of the
previous step.
1. Place DIP switch 1 in the ON position.
2. Disconnect/reconnect power to the 5843.
Immediately after power is applied the following will
occur:
•The green LED will turn on and remain on.
•If the EEPROM is not full, the red LED will flash on
and off once for each transmitter that can still be
enrolled and then lights steady.
•If the EEPROM is full (8 wireless keys enrolled), the
red LED remain on, indicating no more transmitters
can be enrolled.
3. Place all DIP switches opposite to their current
position within one minute of applying power in step
2. (All DIP switches must be switched opposite to
their current position within 5 seconds of each other
to avoid exiting this procedure.)
4. Return all DIP switches to their original positions
and verify the red LED turns off.
When the red LED turns off, all transmitters have
been erased.
