United Technologies interlogix 5500 Series Installation Instructions

P/N 1038436 • REV C • ISS 16JUL19 5500 Moisture Detection Series Installation Instructions Introduction The 5500 Moisture Detection Series is designed to respond to the presence of water and other nonflammable conductive liquids. It is connected in the closed loop of an alarm system. You can use up to four surface-mount 5515 sensors with the 5501 moisture processor. You can use the processor with any closed loop control panel, dialer, or wireless transmitter input circuit. The processor comes with internal lithium batteries with an anticipated life of 10 to 15 years. The processor provides flexibility in mounting with no need for an external power source and minimal required wiring. Operation A time delay circuit is provided to reduce the chance of false alarms. The processor requires the presence of moisture for ten seconds before going into alarm mode. It will stay in alarm mode until the moisture is removed from the sensor. When tripped, the LED will flash at two-second intervals until the sensor is dry. Optical coupling between sensor input and processor output circuits provides isolation from ground. Installation To install the series, do the following: 1. Insert a small, flat-bladed screwdriver in the slot at the top or bottom of the processor and pry the cover off the base. 2. Mount the processor using the mounting holes shown in Figure 1 below. 3. Mount the 5515 sensors to any surface and in any position, using screws or double-sided tape. Wiring Wire the sensors in parallel (Figure 1 below). You do not need to observe polarity. The connection for output on the processor, however, is polarity sensitive. Trigger the processor and allow the control panel, dialer, or transmitter to operate to verify the connection. Testing Press the test button (Figure 1 below) for 15 seconds to simulate the presence of water and activate the processor (the LED will flash). Release the button to restore the processor to normal operation. Figure 1: 5500 moisture detection series
