K9947 7/04 Rev. A ALPHA ADEMCO 5821 Temperature Sensor & Flood Detector INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE GENERAL INFORMATION The ADEMCO 5821 Temperature Sensor & Flood Detector is a wireless transmitter used with ADEMCO alarms systems that support 5800 series devices. The 5821 can be configured to operate as either a Temperature Sensor or Flood Detector. The 5821 in combination with the ADEMCO T280R is ideal for monitoring refrigerators and freezers in restaurants, kitchens and warehouses where food storage is a concern. The 5821 will send an alarm to the control when the set temperature limit is exceeded or when a flood is detected protecting equipment, property, and perishable items via it’s rf transmitter. Temperature Sensing is measured by an internal sensor, or externally using ADEMCO T280R probe, or both. Flood detection is accomplished using external probe ADEMCO 470PB with the supplied resistor. When the temperature either increases past the high threshold limit and delay (30 minute delay) or below the low temperature threshold limit and delay (30 minutes) an alarm is triggered. This preset delay offers greater reliability against false alarms due to normal usage of refrigeration equipment. MODES OF OPERATION The refrigeration mode of the device can be used to monitor refrigerator or freezer equipment that keep perishables below a set temperature point. The warm temperature mode of the device is used to warn of a high temperature condition, protecting temperature sensitive equipment and operations. When the temperature rises to the set point temperature, an alarm is sent. Setting the temperature for Alarm. When the set temperature limit is exceeded, the appropriate predefined time-delay begins. At the end of the delay, the alarm is sent. The 5821 can be used to operate in several modes as follows: • Report room air temperature has fallen below 45°F. • Report room air temperature has exceeded either 75°F or 95°F as selected via the positioning of Dip Switch 1 and 2. • Monitor and report temperatures above 10°F or 42°F using ADEMCO External Sensor Probe T280R as selected via the positioning of DIP Switch 1 and 2. • Monitor and report the presence of water using ADEMCO External Probe 470PB with supplied resistor as selected via the position of DIP Switch 2. The 5821 also feature a tamper switch, which causes a trouble signal to be sent to the control if the unit’s cover is removed from the base. The Tamper switch is also used when programming the unit’s serial number at the control. The 5821 is powered by a 3-volt lithium battery. If the battery voltage gets too low, the 5821 sends a low battery signal to the control panel. Installing/Replacing the Battery Important Notes: • Use 3-volt lithium battery: Duracell DL 123A or Panasonic/Sanyo/Varta CR123A. • Observe polarity. • When replacing the battery, wait at least 30 seconds after removing the old battery, before installing the new one. 1. Remove the transmitter's top cover by inserting the flat blade of a small screwdriver into the pry-off slot at one end of the unit (see Fig. 1 for location), and slightly twisting the blade until the cover disengages. 2. Install a 3-volt lithium battery as shown in Figure 1.

Refer to Table 1 for the applicable operating mode. The transmitter’s serial number must be enrolled in the control panel before it will function in the system. When programming this transmitter at the control, note the following: • Input Type = 3 (Supervised RF) • Loop number = 1, 2, 3, or 4 • Each loop # requires one zone. 1. Install the battery (if not already installed). Observe polarity! 2. Enter the control’s programming mode. 3. Enter the zone number to be programmed. 4. Transmit from the detector when prompted by pressing the tamper switch. 5. When the serial number is displayed transmit from the detector by pressing the tamper switch. The current loop number will begin to flash. 6. Enter the desired loop number manually. 7. Test the detector after enrolling into the system.

IMPORTANT: This detector should be used for property protection. Reliance should not be placed on this detector for life safety. When life safety is involved, smoke detectors MUST also be used. The detector and its optional probes must not be painted. Wireless Transmission Path Test A good RF transmission path must be established from the propo…

Operational Description

EXHIBIT 1-1 CFS8DL5821 Functional Description The 5821 is a battery powered, portable transmitter that is part of a wireless alarm system. It is used in conjunction with a receiver (5881) to indicate an alarm when activated. RF transmissions are initiated by a change in state of the loop and/or tamper inputs. In addition, the 5815MN sends a regular supervision or check-in RF message, no more often than once per hour. The RF messages are transmitted at a frequency of 345MHz +/- 82KHz using an off-keyed AM modulation method.

Operational Description

EXHIBIT 3 CFS8DL5821 5800SS1 - Duty Cycle Calculation Message protocol, timing and duty cycle calculation. The data output is phase-encoded Manchester that has inherent 50% duty cycle and consists of 64 bits per word A supervision transmission is six identical words separated by (start to start) by nominal 125mSec (100 mSec min, 150 mSec max). Each message has a nominal data rate of 3.7 kb/s (3.2kb/s min to 4.2kb/s max). Therefore the duty cycle is calculation is as follows: The word format consists of 64 bits, The duration of each bit is 312.5 uSec max. The duty cycle over a 100 mSec measuring period is calculated as follows: Duty cycle = Actual RF transmission ON time / 100 mSec Actual transmission ON time = 64 bits X 50% X 312.5 uSec = 10 mSec Therefore duty cycle = 10 / 100 mSec = .10 = 10%, and peak to average field strength is 20 db. Total on-air time for a supervision transmission is: 64 X 312.5 uSec + (5 X 150 mSec) = 0.77 seconds In the case of an alarm transmission, the group of six transmissions is repeated twice, with the second group delayed from the first by a max time of 2 seconds. The worst case on-air time is 2 X (supervision time) + 2 = 3.54 seconds The worst case Duty cycle is : 10%

Test Report

EXHIBIT 5-1 CFS8DL5821 Report of Measurements. Measurements were made at Ademco 's Measurement Facility at 160 Eileen Way , Syosset , NY 11791 , FCC Registration number : 90421. Measurements were made in accordance with the procedures and reporting requirements of ANSI C63.4-1992. The Test Set-Up (C63.4 section 10.1.3) is shown in the attached drawing. The sequence of testing (C63.4 section 10.1.7) for radiated emissions is as follows: A preliminary scan was conducted with the receiver antenna close to the EUT in order to identify the emission characteristics of the EUT (C63.4 section 8.3.1.1). The antenna and EUT were then placed at the proper separation with the EUT positioned on a non-conducting turntable. The EUT was rotated on the turntable to maximize the received signal strength, then the receiver antenna height was varied to further maximize the received reading. Thereafter, the device was again rotated to a peak output position and the antenna height was re-adjusted for maximum received signal. This procedure was re-iterated until there was no further increase in signal level. This procedure was performed with the EUT rotating in three orthogonal planes (C63.4 section 13.1.4.1) to generate a final maximum reading which is recorded on the radiated emissions result sheet. Similar measurements were made on the receiver to ensure compliance as an unintentional radiator. See Exhibit 6 for list of test equipment (C63.4 section 10.1.4). Note, Spectrum Analyzer resolution bandwidths set as follows; (Video Bandwidth set greater than RBW) - For occupied bandwidth measurements, RBW = 100kHz, (This is in accordance with the minimum RBW allowed by C63.4, which requires RBW greater than 5% of the FCC required occupied bandwidth spec of 0.25% of center frequency). - For radiated emissions below 1 GHz, the RBW = 100kHz. Detector function set to peak. - For radiated emissions above 1 GHz, the RBW = 1MHz. Detector function set to peak. OCCUPIED BANDWIDTH is shown on attached plot. RADIATED EMISSIONS are recorded on attached sheet.
