Honeywell 5816OD Frequently Asked Questions
How Does a Door/Window Alarm Sensor Actually Work?
Most door and window sensors work in the same manner. These devices consist of both a sensor and a magnet. When the door or window opens, the magnet will become separated from the sensor. This will cause the sensor to send a signal to the security system. Learn more about door and window sensors.
Honeywell 5800MINI vs Honeywell 5816OD
The 5800MINI and the 5816OD are both wireless door and window contacts. The 5800MINI is a slim sensor designed for indoor use only. The 5816OD is a weatherproof sensor designed for outdoor use. Both are part of Honeywell's 5800 Series of wireless sensors. Learn more about these two contacts.
What Type of Battery Does My Honeywell Wireless Door Sensor Use?
Honeywell wireless door sensors generally use one of three battery types. These are CR123A lithium batteries, CR2032 coin batteries and AAA batteries. A door sensor will typically require a new battery every three to five years. Learn which battery type is right for your wireless door sensor.
What is the Range of a Honeywell 5816OD Outdoor Wireless Sensor?
The Honeywell 5816OD is an outdoor sensor that will operate at a range of approximately 200 feet away from the security panel. This range can be extended using a wireless repeater if needed. A great wireless repeater is the 5800RP. Continue reading to learn more about the Honeywell 5816OD.
What Is a Security Door Contact?
When attached to a door, a security contact will let the system know when the door has been opened. Both wireless and wired door contacts are available.
What Frequency Do the 5800 Sensors Operate at?
Honeywell's 5800 series wireless devices operate at 345 MHz. This frequency was assigned to them by the FCC, and should operate free of interference in the US.
