Installing the 5881/5882 Receiver

RF System Installation Advisories
Follow the guidelines below when installing the RF receiver. (Disreg ard if the receiver is
mounted in the control cabinet.)
• Place the RF receiver in a high, centrally located area for best reception.
• Do not locate the receiver or transmitters on or near metal objects. This decreases range
and/or block transmissions.
• Do not locate the receiver in an area of high RF interference (revealed by frequent or
prolonged lighting of the LED in the receiver; random flicker is OK).
• The RF receiver must be at least 10 feet from any remote keypads to avoid interf erence
from the microprocessors in those units.
Installation and Setup of the 5881/5882 Receiver
To install the receiver, take the following steps (refer to Figure 8 below):
1. Set the receiver's DIP switch for device address 0, as described in its instructions (all
switches shown at left are in the OFF position).
2. Mount the receiver. The RF receiver can detect signals from transmitters within a
nominal range of 200 feet. Take this into consideration when determining mounting
location.
3. Connect the receiver's wire harness to the control's keypad terminals (4, 5, 6, and 7). Plug
the connector at the other end of the harness into the receiver.
4. Refer to the installation instructions provided with the receiver for further installation
procedures regarding antenna mounting, etc.
