Honeywell 5817CBXT User manual

The 5817CBXT is a universal contact-monitoring transmitter
that can be used with household and commercial fire and
burglary-initiating devices such as door/window contacts,
motion and glassbreak detectors, sprinkler water flow
switches, tamper switches, post indicator valves, manual
pull stations and remote duct detectors. Upon activation, it
emits an RF signal to a control panel, sending a burglary or
fire alarm to a central station.

commercial fire and burglary
1. Remove the transmitter cover by
inserting the flat blade of a small
screwdriver into the pry-off slot at the
bottom end of the unit (on the right
side closest to the cover’s decorative
ribs and twisting).
2. Disengage the supplied mounting
plate from the unit by inserting the
blade of a small screwdriver into the
mounting plate release hole (see
Diagram 2) and pushing the locking
tab out (see Diagram 1). Slide the
mounting plate downward along the
case back.
Note: For this application, the
alignment guide strip along one edge
of the mounting plate serves no
function and may be broken away,
if desired.
3. If concealed wiring is to be used,
feed the wires through the concealed
wiring entry hole on one corner of the
plate (surface wiring is mentioned in
step 5 below).
4. Install the mounting plate, with its
caseholding posts pointing up, in the
location selected as described in the
installation instructions. Use the two
flat-head screws supplied. Note: To
ensure proper operation of the unit’s
back tamper (when it is separated
from the mountain plate), the screws
must be anchored to a wall stud or
other solid wood material.
5. Set the DIP switch (after the
control panel has enrolled the
transmitter’s input ID’s) for the
desired primary loop characteristics,
as described in the table on the
following page.

14-22AWG wire.
Notes: a. In order for the control panel to enroll the transmitter, the DIP switches must be Set to OFF-ON-ON-OFF (see Diagram 2).
b. The auxiliary loops are not affected by the DIP switch settings.
Wiring Connections
Connect the loop wiring to the unit’s terminals before installing the battery (see Diagram 2).
Notes: a. Primary loop 1 is a supervised loop and must have an end-of-line (EOL) resistor (470K ohms, supplied) placed across the sensor.
Additionally, for primary loop 1, a contact device may not be installed more than 20 feet from the transmitter.
b. If loop 2 is not going to be used, the magnet is not necessary.
c. If loop 3 is not going to be used, no connection is needed across its terminals. For UL household burglary and fire installations, the loop 3
contact device (if used) may not be more than 3 feet from the transmitter.
