Hi DI wires, Sterling here with Alarm Grid, and today we're going to show you how to program
a 5820L Honeywell wireless slimline transmitter.
So the 5820L is a door or a window contact.
It can really be used on any opening.
It says here that it's ideal for casement and double-hung windows which might have a
skinnier frame.
If we open up this sensor, we can show you that unlike the 5816, which is bigger and
boxier, or unlike the 5811 which is nice and thin off the wall, but has a wider footprint
the 5820L has this nice skinny frame, so that if your window frame was very small this would
sit nicely without overlapping.
This device includes some mounting screws, some double sided tape, and it has your magnet
for your sensor.
Of course, it also has a battery, we have an AAA Energizer Lithium.
And basically the device consists of the contact and the magnet.
On one side of the sensor, you have two hash marks.
On this side, they're not there, and, of course, not on the short edge either.
So when you have this mounted, you want your magnet to be on the side with the two hash
marks.
When the door or the window is closed, the sensor is happy.
When the window slides up or the door opens, the magnet's pulled away from the sensor,
and we have our fault or our alarm activation if the system is armed.
So the first thing we need to do before we program this device is to pop it open and
insert the battery to give it power.
So not on this side, but on one of the shorter edges there's this little tab, and using our
screwdriver, we can pop the cover off to get to the inside of the sensor, so we
can insert our battery and give this unit power so we can program it.
This tab can be a little tricky, so just kind of pry in, and wiggle it until it pops.
This back-plate, we have our serial number.
It's going to be hard to see in the video, but the bar code is showing with an alpha
number 0980737.
We have our cover with our circuit board.
We have our battery contacts.
We have our tamper switch which would indicate if the covers popped; that's a push-button
which is held down when the cover's on.
We have our model number 5820L, and we have our date code of when it was manufactured.
To give it power, we need to insert our battery, and on the circuit board there is a big plus
imprinted to show you which side is the positive contact.
So you insert your battery, negative to negative, positive to positive, and we now have power
for our 5820L.
We can close it up.
There's a little hinge that basically is a little tab here that locks in there to makes
sure that we're getting our sticker, so it goes inside.
And we simply snap it shut.
The same serial number is on the back so that we don't need to have that sticker on the
inside when we do our programming.
We have our magnet and our powered up sensor, and we're ready to enroll our 5820L sensor.
So the first thing we do from the home screen is hit security, then more, and tools.
From tools, we use 4112 which is the default installer code, and gets us to this screen
where we can select program to jump into system programming.
You see right now, it says ready to arm chime?
Soon as we hit program, it says system programming, letting us know we're now in programming.
If we go to zones, that's where we use the screen to select the next available zone.
We go to zone nine and click edit, and now we can input this device to the system.
To learn in any Honeywell sensor to the system you need the serial number, or you can auto
enroll the device.
For our purposes, we do have the serial number, but we like to verify the sensor works and
make sure that the proper serial number and the proper loop number get learned in.
To do that, we can simply activate the device three times.
To activate a door contact or a window sensor, we simply put the magnet next to the two hash
marks, the side of the sensor that it needs to have the magnet, and we pull it apart.
Activation number one, you heard the panel beep, and now we go and close the door again.
If this is mounted on your door, you know, you would simply be opening and closing your
door.
If you're doing it on the bench test, you simply fault the sensor by putting the magnet
close, pulling it away, that's number two.
We can see now we have loop number one which is the proper loop when enrolling a 5820L.
We have the verified serial number which matches the serial number on the device, 0980737,
and then we do one-third in final activation.
And that enrolls the device to the system and takes us to our zone screen.
On this screen, this is where we have to select the parameters to tell the system how to respond
to inputs from this device.
First thing we want to choose is are we going to put this on a door or window?
In our case, we have some double hung windows, and we do have this skinny frame.
We didn't quite have enough frame width for a 5811, so we're going to use the skinnier
5820L, and because it's going on a window we choose device type window.
Once we're on device type, we can select our response type.
Typically with a window, you're always going to want the perimeter response, but there's
other options you could use if you're going to vent your window, or you wanted it to not
alert a full siren, but you wanted to hear chime.
So you have some options here, but in our case if the window opens and the system is
armed, we want an alarm, we want a perimeter response type.
Ninety percent of window sensors are going to get that perimeter response type.
Then we want to do zone descriptor one, and we're going to name which window in our home
is going to be used for zone nine.
So if we have multiple window contacts in the house instead of just naming them all
window, and having to remember that zone nine is the living room window, zone 10 is the
family room window, and so on we can select and name the particular window.
In this case, we're going to put it in our master bedroom.
By hitting the M letter, it takes us to the library of the first M word.
We can use the down arrow to cycle and choose each additional word until we get to master
bedroom.
Or we can simply type, and we get to master one more designation down gives us the full
master bedroom as one zone descriptor.
We could have left it master, and put in zone descriptor two as bedroom, but by putting
it in this way in case we had more than one master bedroom window we could say master
bedroom front window, master bedroom back window, or any other qualifying word which
would give us a better designation of which sensors which inside the master bedroom.
So for our case we only have one master bedroom window, we're going to leave it as this.
Alarm report, this is a toggle, yes or no.
Yes, means send this alarm to the central station.
No means sound the audible alarm in the house, but don't send the signal through to the central.
We are monitored, and we do want them to respond to this zone, so we're going to set it to
yes.
And then chime is disabled by default.
On a window, I would prefer to know when the window's open, and therefore you can highlight
the chime sound that you want for when this window is open.
We have it set to standard, you heard the beep, beep, beep when this window is open
in the disarm state it'll be, beep, beep, beep, master bedroom window.
So we have that beeping chime, as well as the spoken words of the fault of the zone,
and then that way we know when our windows are opening.
Supervision should always be supervised for any protection zone and any intrusion device.
Supervised simply means that the panel will check and make sure the device is being seen
by the panel, and it will do that check every 12 hours.
It would indicate a supervision trouble if the sensor was too far from the system, or
there was interference that was causing the wireless signal not to be reaching out to
the sensor, or if something happened to the sensor where it broke, you know, and it wasn't
being seen by the panel.
This supervised would alert us to that issue as soon as possible.
So we save it, and we exit to the home screen.
And to make sure that we did everything properly, we simply fault the device, open the door
or the window, and make sure that the panel responds accordingly.
So we have it on our window.
Typically you would have this sensor on the frame and the magnet on the movable window
portion.
So we slide our window up, and you can see the panel beep, beep, beep chimed, it also
spoke master bedroom window and showed us this visual fault indication that the window's
open.
If you ever came to your system and you saw this, and you were trying to arm the system,
it's alerting you, "Hey, you have an open zone" go close it.
So slide the window back down, magnets back in line with the two hash marks, now we can
arm our system.
So that is how you would program a 5820L wireless slimline door contact, window contact to your
LYNX Touch L5200 system.
