ADEMCO 5883H
RF Transceiver
INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
The 5883H RF Transceiver Module:
•contains an RF receiver and a transmitter,
•is intended for use with 5800 series RF transmitters, including bi-
directional wireless units,
•receives alarm, status, and control messages from 5800
transmitters, and passes these messages to the control panel via
wired connections, which then responds accordingly (arm/disarm
the system, initiate an alarm, etc.),
•transmits system status and other conditions to bi-directional
devices,
•emulates the functions of a 5800TM module,
•features a Spatial Diversity system that virtually eliminates the
possibility of "Nulls" and "Dead Spots" within the coverage area,
•incorporates new high-security encryption technology, and
•supports the number of zones shown in the chart at right.
RF Zones Supported
5883H Depends on the control with which it is used. See
the control panel’s instructions for specific details.
If "SET UP ERROR" (alpha keypads) or "E4 or “E8”" (fixed-
word keypads) is displayed on the system's keypad, it indicates
that more than the permitted number of wireless zones have
been programmed, and none of the zones will be protected.

(Check the control’s Installation Instructions for applicability.)
MOUNT THE MODULE OR PC BOARD
5883H can be mounted remotely, or, with some controls, can be
mounted inside the control's cabinet. When mounting, make sure
the antennas do not touch metal surfaces.
First, Check for RF Interference: Before mounting permanently,
use the red RF Interference LED to check for strong local radio
frequency interference at the intended mounting location. If this
LED is continuously lit, the 5883H module should be relocated.
Removing the Cover
Remove 5883H's cover by inserting a screwdriver blade in the slot at
the center of the cover's lower edge to release the locking tab.
Replace the cover when installation is complete if unit is not
mounted within controls cabinet and secure with screw through
bottom locking tab.
Mounting inside the control's cabinet (refer to Fig. 2):
1. Remove the 5883H’s circuit board from its base by bending back
the two flexible plastic tabs that hold the board's lower edge.
Discard the 5883H's unused plastic cover and base.
2. In the control's cabinet, unfasten and move the control circuit
board downward (if already installed).
3. Hang two short (black) mounting clips (provided) on the raised
cabinet tabs in the cabinet, as shown in Detail B of Figure 2.
4. Insert the top of the 5883H’s board into the supporting slots at the
top of the cabinet (Detail A). Swing the bottom of the board into
the two short (black) mounting clips installed in step 3, and
secure it to the cabinet with the accompanying screws.
5. Insert the top of the control’s board into the slot in the black clips
holding the lower edge of the 5883H board (see Detail B); position
two long (red) clips at the lower edge of the board (see Detail C).
6. Swing the lower edge of the control board into place, and secure
with two additional screws.
7. Insert the grounding lugs (provided) through the top of the
cabinet and into the left-hand terminals of the antenna blocks (at
the upper edge of the 5883H's circuit board). Secure it to the
cabinet with the two screws provided, see Detail D.
8. Insert the 5883H’s two antennas through the two openings in
the top of the cabinet, one into each block’s right-hand terminal,
and tighten the screws to secure them.
9. Affix the 5883H's Summary of Connections label to the inside of
the control's cabinet door.
UL
•All power-limited wiring must be separated from non-power
limited and high-voltage wiring by 1/4" (6.4 mm).
•All circuits are supervised.
•Only one wire per terminal is permitted. If daisy-chained
configuration is required, pig-tail wires together so that only a
single wire is terminated under the screw.
Mounting the 5883H remotely
NOTE: If mounting 5883H in its own enclosure, the supplied PCB
mounting clips, grounding lugs, and screws are not needed.
1. All wiring between the 5883H and the control panel must be
located in a conduit.
2. For concealed wiring, route wires through the rectangular
opening at the rear of the base before mounting. For surface
wiring entry, a thin breakaway area is provided along the base's
right edge.
3. Mount the module in the selected location. For greatest security,
use all four mounting holes (two key slot holes and two round
holes) in the plastic base. (Refer to Detail D in Figure 2 above.)
4. Install each antenna in the respective right-hand terminal of the
two terminal blocks at the upper edge of the 5883H’s circuit
board, and tighten the screws to secure them.
5. Affix the 5883H's Summary of Connections label to the inside of
the housing cover

SET THE DIP SWITCHES
Use the DIP switches to set the 5883H’s device address, to enable
the built-in transmitter, and to check or delete encrypted keys.
Addresses: The 5883H Transceiver has two device addresses: one
for the receiver (addresses 1-7) and one for the transmitter
(addresses 27-30, similar to the 5800TM device addresses; see
notes 5 and 6 below). First, select a pair of addresses from the table
below, making sure that neither address is currently being used in
the alarm system, then use DIP switches 2-4 to set the address
pair. The addresses should then be programmed in the control. Do
not program the transmitter’s address in the control if the 5883H
is not being used with 5800TM compatible devices.

NOTES:
•DIP switches 2–4 select both an RF receiver and an RF
transmitter device address.
•When used with 5800TM compatible (bi-directional) devices, the
transmitter address must be enabled as a “keypad”in the control
and DIP switch 6 must be set to “ON.”
•If 5883H is not being used with 5800TM compatible devices, the
RF transmitter address should be ignored and DIP switch 6
should be set to OFF.
•If programming the control to supervise 5883H, program only
the receiver address for supervision. Do not program the
transmitter address for supervision.
•5883H does not support the 5827BD Wireless Keypad.
Special Notes When Used With Certain Controls
VISTA-40: When using bi-directional devices, use device address
setting 1/28 or 5/28 for devices used in partition 1; use device
address setting 2/29 or 6/29 for devices used in partition 2 (this
is necessary because the VISTA-40 automatically assigns
address 28 or 29 depending on the programming in field 1*48,
wireless keypad partition assignment).
VISTA 32FB, VISTA-50P and higher: When using bi-
directional devices, the Wireless Keypad Partition Assignment
field (typically 1*48) must be set to the partition in which the
devices are used (cannot be used on Fire Partitions).
VISTA-15P/20P Series, FA130C/FA148C/FA168CP Series:
Use device address setting of “non-addressable,”which is
address 0 (sets the receiver address; the transmitter address (for
bi-directional devices) is automatically set for 28).
CONNECT THE WIRING FROM THE CONTROL
1. Insert the wiring plug (with 5 flying leads) into the mating
socket on the 5883H (see Figure 5 for socket location).
2. Connect the 4 wires to the control's corresponding remote
keypad connection points as follows:
RED 12VDC input (+) Aux Power
GREEN: Data to Control (control’s data IN)
YELLOW: Data from Control (control’s data OUT)
BLACK: Ground (–)
LED FUNCTIONS (refer to Figure 5)
Red RF Interference LED: Lit Indicates local RF interference.
Green LED: Flickering indicates reception of messages (decoded
and/or non-decoded).

PROGRAM CONTROL FOR RF OPERATION
Proceed with any control panel programming that may be
necessary for RF operation and the instructions of the system's
wireless transmitters, as described in the control's installation
instructions. In addition, note the following:
•Enable the appropriate control data field for RF usage.
•Enroll the wireless keypad address(es), if used (see instructions
provided with keypad).
•Wireless key buttons must first be enrolled in the control panel
via zone programming, and, where applicable, assigned to a
user number. Enroll each wireless key in 5883H by pressing the
appropriate buttons according to the instructions provided with
the key.
•Upon the successful enrollment of an encrypted key, the red
LED blinks the number of available spaces remaining for
additional encrypted key enrollment (see Checking Available
Space For High Security Keys paragraph).
•If more than one receiver is being used and you are using
encrypted wireless keys, we recommend that you:
a. Enter the GO/NO GO mode.
b. Disconnect one receiver.
c. Enroll all encrypted keys into the connected receiver.
d. Reconnect the disconnected receiver.
e. Exit the GO/NO GO mode.
f. Repeat steps a-e for the receiver that was disconnected.
HIGH SECURITY KEYS & WIRELESS KEYPADS
Depending on the control panel used, the 5883H can support up
to 16 high-security (encrypted) wireless keys and up to 16
wireless keypads. The following paragraphs describe how to:
•Check available space for high-security keys
•How to deactivate all keys
•How to remove all wireless keypads.
See the Control’s instructions and the appropriate device
instructions for procedures on enrolling high security keys and
wireless keypads.
Checking Available Space for High Security Keys
The RED LED (above the DIP switch) shows (by blinking) how
many high-security keys may be enrolled into the transceiver.
1. Remove power from the transceiver and set DIP switches:
DIP 1 = ON
DIP 8 = OFF
2. Apply power and observe one of the following RED LED
indications:
a. Blinks, indicating the number of available spaces for
additional high-security key enrollment, and then lights
steady ON.
b. Immediate Steady ON (no blinks), indicating that high-
security key enrollment is full.
c. Off, indicating that no encrypted keys are enrolled.
3. Set DIP switch 1 back to the OFF position to return to normal
receiver operation (leave DIP 8 in OFF position).
Deactivating High-Security keys
This procedure deactivates all enrolled high-security keys and is
required only if previously enrolled high-security keys are being
replaced and there is not enough available space left for them in
the receiver. Once this procedure is performed, all desired high-
security keys must be re-enrolled to activate high-security
operation.
1. Perform steps 1 and 2 in Checking Available Space procedure
above.
2. Wait until the RED LED lights steady ON then:
a. Record the positions of DIP switches 1 through 8.
b. Set DIP switches 1 through 8 to the opposite positions of
their current settings and wait a few moments.
c. Set DIP switches 1 through 8 back to their original positions
as recorded in step a. All enrolled high-security keys will be
deactivated.
3. Set DIP switch 1 back to the OFF position to return to normal
receiver operation (leave DIP 8 in OFF position).
Removing All Wireless Keypads
This procedure removes all wireless keypads from the transceiver.
1. Remove power from the transceiver and set DIP switches:
DIP 1 = OFF
DIP 8 = ON
2. Apply power and observe the RED LED lights steady ON, then:
a. Record the positions of DIP switches 1 through 8.
b. Set DIP switches 1 through 8 to the opposite positions of
their current settings and wait a few moments.
c. Set DIP switches 1 through 8 back to their original positions
as recorded in step a. All enrolled wireless keypads will be
removed from the transceiver.
3. Set DIP switch 8 back to the OFF position to return to normal
receiver operation (leave DIP 1 in OFF position).
NOTE: If unsure that correct RF keypad addresses are enabled in
the receiver, you should perform the RF keypad delete
procedure, then enable RF keypad addresses as described in the
instructions included with the RF keypad. Otherwise, erroneous
ECP device “check”messages may occur.
