5878

Wireless Wall Transmitter

INSTALLATION AND SETUP GUIDE 

 
GENERAL INFORMATION 
The 5878 is a six-button, eight-loop, wall mountable wireless 
transmitter. It is intended for use only with wireless alarm 
systems that support 5800 series receivers. Individual buttons 
on the transmitter may be programmed for any zone response, 
but are typically used for arming or for home automation 
functions. Optional function buttons are provided with the 
5878. 

!

 

Do not use for system disarming in an area that 
requires security.

 

This device supports both Standard and High-Security 
(encrypted) modes. The latter sends rolling-code encrypted 
messaging to the RF receiver. 

 

This device must be used with a receiver or control 
that supports high security mode i.e.: 5881EN, 5883, 
6150RF, or 6160RF receiver or a LYNXR Series 
control panel (Revision 13.1 or higher if you intend 
to use it in high security mode).  

The 5878 is powered by one replaceable lithium battery de-
signed to provide up to four years of life.  For battery 
installation, see Replacing the Battery.

Figure 1 - 5878 Button Designations 

PROGRAMMING 
The 5878 is assigned two unique serial numbers during 
manufacture and each button, or button combination on the 
unit also has a distinct "loop" number (refer to Figure 1) that 
must be programmed into the control panel during installation. 
Assign each button, or button combination, to one of eight 
individual zones and designate the Input Type as "BR" (Button 
Type RF). 

 

If you are enrolling the 5878 locally with an RF 

Keypad, refer to the keypad’s Installation 
Instructions for programming instructions. 

1. When prompted, enter the serial number either by: 
Pressing and releasing the button (or buttons) that you are 
programming twice (wait about 5 seconds between button 
activations
).or  Manually through the keypad. 
Notes:

  (1)  To activate the transmitter, the 5878 buttons must be 

pressed and held for at least one-half second. 

 

(2)  Serial #2 is one (1) digit higher than serial #1, which is 

printed on the rear of the transmitter. 

 

Loop 4 Setup 
Both of the Loop 4 buttons must be enrolled in the control, even 
if they will not be used. If one or both of the loops is not being 
used, program it as Zone Type 23 (No Alarm Response). 
Otherwise assign it to the desired zone type. 

2. Exit Programming Mode after programming is complete. 
  For complete details on how to program the transmitter's 

serial number at the control panel, see the control unit's 
installation instructions. 

Assigning a 5878 to a User 
On most control panels, if the wall transmitter is used for 
arming functions, you must assign it to a user in order for it to 
operate. This is accomplished through User Code programming 
at the control panel. See the control panel’s Installation and 
Setup Guide for specific instructions on programming User 
Codes.  
If you are programming arming functions on both serial 
numbers, each serial number must be assigned to a separate 
user.

 

SELECTING STANDARD OR HIGH-SECURITY MODE 

 

For use with LYNXR Series controls earlier than 

Revision 13.1, the Standard Mode must be 
selected. 

To select Standard Mode, simultaneously press and hold the 
STAY, 1 and 2 buttons for three seconds. 
To select High-Security Mode, simultaneously press and hold 
the AWAY, 1 and 2 buttons for three seconds. 
The LED flashes green when transmitting in Standard Mode 
and red when transmitting in High-Security Mode.  

ACTIVATING HIGH-SECURITY MODE  

 

To ensure proper functionality, the 5878 must be 

synced to the security system. 

1. After selecting High-Security mode, put the system in Go/No 

Go Test mode. 

2. To sync the transmitter with the receiver, simultaneously 

press and hold the AWAY, STAY, 1, and 2 buttons until the 
panel beeps (see Figure 1). For LYNXR Series controls 
proceed to step 4. 

Note:  The LYNXR Series panels will confirm the synchronization 

by sounding two beeps. 

3. To sync the device in High Security Mode, press either the 

AWAY, STAY, 1, or 2 button ONCE, until the panel beeps 
indicating receipt.  

4. To sync the second serial number of the wireless key with the 

receiver, simultaneously press and hold the 1, 2, 3, and 4 
buttons until the panel beeps. For LYNXR Series controls 
proceed to step 6. 

5. To sync the device in High Security Mode, press the 3 or 4 

button ONCE, and hold until the panel beeps indicating 
receipt.  

Note:  If no beep is heard, exit Go/No Go mode, and repeat        

Steps 1 - 5. 

6. Exit Go/No Go mode by entering user code + 1 (OFF).
