Installation Instructions For use with QED control panels ONLY!
GENERAL INFORMATION The iON 5800 MICRA recessed transmitter is a reed switch magnetic contact transmitter that provides concealed protection for a window. It is intended for use only with alarm systems that support QED 5800 series devices. The transmitter is powered by a long-life lithium battery that is easily replaceable when a low battery is indicated by the control. Programming the ID Number Each iON 5800 MICRA has its own unique identification code (serial number) permanently assigned during manufacturing. The control unit is required to "enroll" the transmitter's ID during installation of the alarm system. The iON 5800 MICRA response should be enrolled as "RF"
(i.e. Supervised RF) Type (mandatory for all UL installations). Refer to the QED control unit's installation instructions for further details. PRELIMINARY CONSlDERATlONS Read all of this and the next section before installing the unit. 1.Select a location for the transmitter on the frame of the window.
Do not use on metal frame doors or windows. iON 5800 MICRA TRANSMITTER
The iON 5800 MICRA transmitter will require a 3/4" diameter hole (using
a 3/4" Forstner bit) drilled into the edge of the window frame no more
than 1/3" deep. Its accompanying magnet will need a 3/4" diameter
hole drilled in the side of the window sash, no more than 1/3" deep.
BEFORE DRlLLlNG ANY HOLES, SEE ITEM 2 BELOW AND MOUNTlNG
SECTION ON THE NEXT PAGE.
FOR VINYL SLIDING WINDOWS the preferred direction of mounting is vertical.
FOR HUNG WINDOWS the iON 5800 MICRA must be mounted horizontally
window sash. (see Step 1 - Measure & Drill in Figure 1) in the window sill with the accompanying magnet mounted in the lower 2.Before drilling any holes, tape the transmitter and magnet in their
approximate locations (with battery installed and unit together as
described under BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT (see page back)
and conduct Go/No Go tests (see QED control's instructions) to verify
adequate signal strength. Reorient or relocate the transmitter if necessary.
Make sure that no more than a 1/2" gap will be present between the faces
of the transmitter and magnet cases when they are installed and set. Also
make sure the 'iON' graphic on the transmitter and magnet are aligned with
each other as per Step 3 - Sash Magnet Placement in Figure 1.
When installed, an alarm signal must be obtained before a clear space of 2"
is reached as the window is opened. Under no circumstances should the outer wall of the window frame be penetrated by the Forstner bit. Figure 1 1 Measure & Drill Using a 3/4" Forstner Drill Bit, drill into the vinyl window mainframe.

core depth outer wall of window frame NOTE: The vinyl extrusion should be pre-qualified by a iON Security rep. to ensure the frame will accommodate the iON 5800 MICRA transmitter as well as the placement of its corresponding magnet. Insert the iON 5800 MICRA's antenna into the extrusion hollow then press the transmitter body into the cored opening. NOTE: It is essential to the systems operation that the positioning of the iON icon on the transmitter point in the same direction as its corresponding sash magnet. Using a 3/4" Forstner Drill Bit, drill into the window sash to a depth of 1/3" only. Sash Magnet Press the iON 5800 MICRA transmitter's corresponding magnet into the cavity now drilled into the sash, making sure to position the iON icons to point in the same direction. NOTE: This point is essential to the systems proper operation. iON 5800 MICRA Recessed Transmitter Before drilling any holes, make sure that successful Go/No Go transmission reception tests have been conducted as called for in the iON 5800 MICRA transmitter section. BATTERY CAUTION: Risk of fire, explosion and burns. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212"F (100"C) or incinerate. Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.

iON 5800 MICRA transmitters 2. Mark the location for the magnet on the window sash, directly opposite the
transmitter location. Before drilling any holes, make sure that the successful
Go/No Go transmission receptin tests have been conducted as called for in the
iON 5800 MICRA transmitter section. (see page back) 3. Drill holes at the locations marked, for the transmitter (3/4" diameter, no
more than 1/3" deep) and magnet (3/4" diameter, no more than 1/3"
deep using a 3/4 Forstner bit). 4. lnsert the transmitter and magnet cases into their respective holes so that
their caps are flush with the surface. Make sure the antenna goes into the
cavity as straight as possible. DO NOT hammer the transmitter or the magnet in place with hard blows. Press them into their respective holes by hand. The iON 5800 MICRA uses a santaprene case that, once placed, is designed to self-seal in the mounting hole. However, if desired, a thin bead of silicon may be applied for additional moisture protection. Dowel Package Dimensions

STEP 2 STEP 3 & 4 STEP 5 & 6 STEP 7 TO THE INSTALLER Regular maintenance and inspection (at least annually) by the installer and frequent testing by the user are vital to continuous satisfactory operation of any alarm system. The installer should assume the responsibility of developing and offering a regular maintenance program to the user, as well as acquainting the user with the proper operation and limitations of the alarm system and its component parts. Recommendations must be included for a specific program of frequent testing (at least weekly) to insure the system's operation at all times REFER TO THE lNSTALLATlON lNSTRUCTlONS FOR THE RECEIVER / CONTROL WlTH WHlCH THlS DEVlCE lS USED, FOR WARRANTY lNFORMATlON AND FOR DETAlLS REGARDlNG LlMlTATlONS OF THE ENTlRE ALARM SYSTEM. BATTERY INSTALLATION & REPLACEMENT 1. Remove the transmitter from the window by inserting the flat blade of
a small screwdriver into the pry-slot on the cap end and twisting slightly
counter-clockwise. The transmitter must be removed from the window
complete in order to refit the transmitter properly back into the hole once
the internal battery has been replaced. 2. Using the flat blade of a small screwdriver in the pry-slot again, separate the white cap from the orange base with a slight counter-clockwise twist.
Once open, slide the cap with the transmitter PC board assembly apart
from the orange base. Pull the antenna through the hole in the orange
base just enough to allow the battery to be replaced. Do not pull the
antenna completely out of the orange base. 3. Remove the old battery from it's battery holder on the bottom of the PC
board. US Patent No. 6,737,969 Copyright 2004 iON Digital LLP 4. Observe correct polarity (see Figure 3 Step 3 & 4) and insert the fresh
battery into the battery holder (positive polarity indicator is shown on
the battery holder). 5. Slide the cap with the PC board assembly back into its orange base by
gently pulling on the antenna, easing the transmitter cap into place. 6. Snap the transmitter cap back onto the orange base, locking it into place. 7. Placing the antenna into the cavity first, reinsert the transmitter into its original mounting hole in the window. Be sure to point the 'iON'
graphic on the cap in the same direction as the 'iON' graphic on the
accompanying sash-mounted magnet.
