Honeywell 5800 Heat Detectors Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Resideo PROA7C Compatible with Honeywell 5800 Sensors?
In order to use Honeywell 5800 Sensors with a Resideo PROA7C, you must add PROTAKEOVER Module to the panel and set its dial to 0. Learn about PROA7C sensor compatibility.
Is the PROA7PLUS Compatible with Honeywell 5800 Sensors?
The Resideo PROA7PLUS can only support Honeywell 5800 Sensors if a Honeywell Home PROTAKEOVER Module is added to the system, with its dial set to 0. Learn about the PROA7PLUS.
Is the 2GIG Edge Compatible with Honeywell 5800 Sensors?
There is a legacy 345 MHz wireless receiver inside the 2GIG Edge that allows the system to support uni-directional Honeywell 5800 Sensors. Learn about the 2GIG Edge.
Is There a Battery Operated Heat-Only Detector?
Heat-only detectors are good for areas where smoke detectors may cause false alarms. These areas include kitchens, bathrooms, garages and attics. Learn about heat detectors.
What is a Heat Detector?
If you have a room where a standard smoke detector might cause a false fire alarm, you might use a heat detector instead. Learn what heat detectors are and how they work.
Where Should I Install a Heat Detector?
Certain areas of the home are better-suited for heat sensors than smoke sensors. Using heat sensors instead of smoke sensors can prevent false alarms. Learn about heat detectors.
How Do I Test the 5808W3 on the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus?
There are two ways to test the 5808W3. The first is to activate its test button. The other is to test manually. Put your system on test mode before testing. Learn about the 5808W3.
Smoke Detector vs. Heat Detector
A smoke detector responds to the presence of smoke. A heat detector responds to unusually high temperatures. Both indicate that there is a fire. Learn about fire-safety products.
Which Sensors are Compatible with the Lyric Alarm System?
The Lyric Security System will support encrypted Honeywell SiX Series Sensors that operate at 2.4 GHz. It will also support sensors that operate at 345 MHz. This includes any Honeywell 5800 Series Sensor and any 2GIG Sensor. Find out which sensors are compatible with the Lyric Controller.
What's the Best Place to Install a Heat Detector?
There are certain applications in which using a standalone heat detector makes sense. This includes installations in environments that often feature smoke or dust that could potentially cause a false alarm on a smoke detector. Learn more about choosing a location for a heat detector.
