Honeywell L7000 Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Honeywell Siren Sound When it’s Activated?
The length of time that an activated Honeywell siren will sound for depends on the panel's bell timeout setting. Once this duration of time has passed, the siren will stop making noise. It is possible to set different bell timeouts for security sirens and fire sirens. Keep reading to learn more.
What Sensors Work with a Honeywell L5210 & L7000?
If you are using wireless sensors with a Honeywell L5210 or L7000, you will generally want to use sensors from the Honeywell 5800 Series. All of the 5800 Series sensors will work with these systems. You can also use a 5800C2W to use hardwired sensors if desired. Read on to learn more.
How Do I Add a Picture to a Honeywell L7000?
Users have no way to add pictures to a Honeywell LYNX Touch system, such as the L7000. Previously, this was done using the Total Connect service. However, Honeywell removed this capability, and now it is impossible to upload pictures to an L7000 panel. Learn more about pictures on the L7000.
How Do I Setup the Slideshow on My Honeywell LYNX Touch?
The slideshow feature on a LYNX Touch will have a series of images appear on the panel's screen if the system is left idle for a predetermined period of time. To do this, you must have images uploaded to your LYNX Touch system. There is currently no way to upload new images. Read on to learn more.
What is the Best Smoke Detector for a Honeywell Security System?
The 5808W3 is a fantastic smoke detector for Honeywell Systems. The device includes both a smoke and heat detector, and it can be readily used with any Honeywell panel that is able to connect with 5800 Series wireless devices. When connecting with a Vista panel, a wireless receiver will be required.
What Is the Difference Between 5800 Wireless Technology and Z-Wave?
Honeywell 5800 Series wireless sensors primarily consist of security and life-safety devices, while Z-Wave devices are generally for home automation purposes. Z-Wave devices can be controlled remotely using an interactive platform, such as Total Connect. This is not possible for 5800 Series devices.
How Do I Program a 5802WXT to a Lynx Touch or Lyric Controller?
The 5802WXT wireless panic button can be programmed much in the same way as any other wireless sensor. This involves auto-learning in the serial number of the sensor through the zone programming mode of the panel. From there, adjust the settings for the device, and the 5802WXT will be ready for use.
How Do I Remotely Control a ZWSTAT from my Android or iOS Phone?
The ZWSTAT can be controlled remotely using either the Total Connect app or the Alarm.com app. You will use Total Connect if you have a Honeywell system. Alarm.com will be used if your system is a 2GIG or Qolsys model. You will need to have a monitoring plan that includes Total Connect or Alarm.com.
How Do I Get My Alarm Company to Change My Installer Code?
Contacting your alarm company is not needed to change the Installer Code on your panel. An end user is able to change their own Installer Code, assuming they know their current Installer Code. However, simply leaving the Installer Code at its default is the best option for the majority of end users.
How Much Does Honeywell Total Connect Cost?
Honeywell's Total Connect interactive service does not feature one specific price. The price that a user pays for the service depends upon how much they are charged by their alarm monitoring company. A Honeywell security panel with an internet or cellular connection is required to use Total Connect.
