Description

The Honeywell 5800PIR is a wireless motion detector that detects motion using passive infrared (PIR) technology. The 5800PIR wireless motion detector senses changes in infrared energy (hot to cold or cold to hot) to trigger an alarm. The detection range of the motion detector is 35' x 40'.

The 5800PIR motion detector has (3) separate programmable loops. The first loop is the default loop. It includes pet immunity up to (80) pounds and has a low sensitivity (pulse count 2). The second loops does not have the pet immunity feature and has a high sensitivity (pulse count 1). The third loop is for an optional low temperature alarm which faults when the temperature in the room drops below 45° F for more than (10) minutes and restores when the temperature rises back over 48° F for (10) minutes. Each loop must be programmed individually and will take up a wireless zone of your home alarm system.

The 5800PIR has (2) different walk test modes. The enroll walk test mode is activated after power up (and initial warm up) or after the sensor cover is opened and closed. The 5800PIR motion detector will transmit alarm signals to the wireless alarm system each time motion is detected. The LED will also flash the relative loop indication. After (10) minutes the enroll walk test mode expires. You can then use the flashlight feature to enter the LED walk test mode. To activate the flashlight feature, you must use a flashlight with a bright light beam and stand within 4' of the 5800PIR. Shine the flashlight across the 5800PIR motion detector's sensor lens 3-5 times. You can then walk test the motion further to determine the best mounting position for optimal detection. The LED will flash and stay on for (3) seconds if you are currently testing the first loop. If you are testing the second loop, the LED will blink rapidly for (3) seconds each time the 5800PIR is triggered. Each time you use the flashlight feature, the 5800PIR loop/sensitivity will change and the walk test (10) minute timer will restart. This allows you to test the 5800PIR for both sensitivity levels. The 5800PIR LED will flicker rapidly for (3) seconds each time a loop/sensitivity change is made or when the walk test mode has ended. The flashlight feature is only available for (24) hours after initial power up. To activate the flashlight feature any other time, you must open the 5800PIR to set off a tamper alarm. The flashlight feature will then be available for (2) hours to allow for motion detection verification after original installation.

The 5800PIR wireless motion detector has a PIR supervision feature. The motion detector internally checks its PIR circuit once every (10) minutes. If the self test fails (6) times consecutively, the 5800PIR LED will blink once every (5) seconds and stops sending RF supervision signals to the wireless alarm system. If the condition exceeds the control panel's RF supervision time, a RF supervision trouble will be generated. A subsequent detection of a valid PIR signal will automatically clear the trouble internally and the 5800PIR will return to normal operation. If the trouble doesn't clear on its own, you should remove and reinstall the motion detector's battery. If this does not solve the problem, you should replace your 5800PIR wireless motion detector.

If it's a low battery issue (and not a reversed polarity battery) then it will actually say low battery and then the zone number. If it's only going into RF supervision, and not showing a low battery, then something is blocking the motion from getting a signal to the panel.. any large metal object that is in the motion's transmission path to the panel has the possibility of bouncing the signal away from the panel. Is it possible to cover the same area, but move the motion to a different mounting location. Sometimes, if you're corner mounting, you could move from one corner to another and cover the same area. I would say try moving either the motion, or the Lynx panel to improve the transmission path.
Also, the sensor is less than 10 ft away. I am going to assume it is the battery then. I will order a new one.
Mine is a 5800PIR-RES everything checks out right away. Serial is picked up by activating the device two times. All the walk tests work out. Then it goes into trouble, say overnight.
Supervised RF zones on a Lynx panel should check in once every 70 - 90 minutes. If they go 12 hrs without checking in, the panel will show them in supervision trouble. Check your Serial Number, see if possibly a digit is off in it. Also, in zone programming, verify that you have it programmed on loop 1. Assuming the SN and loop number is right, check the battery in the motion to be sure it's got good voltage and that it's in properly (possibly it's in backward, with polarity reversed). If those things check out, then something is preventing the motion from getting its signal to the panel. If yours is the 5800PIR-RES, then it doesn't have a tamper switch, but if it is the 5800PIR, then it does. Remove the cover and see if you get a trouble at the panel (this is another way you can check to see if the serial number is correct). If not, take it down and walk around with it, see if it can get a signal to the panel from a different location. If you remove the battery and put it back in, it should put the motion into test, where it will light the LED and transmit every time it's tripped. This will aid in testing it.
I have a Lynx panel, I added one of these to the panel. And after 12 hours or so it says Trouble - Supervision. I tried removing and re-enrolling. Same thing. This is going on my parents system, they live in AZ, I live in MN and am leaving tomorrow. Can’t leave them with bogus equipment.
Okay, that was probably just the 10 minute walk test mode then. I'm glad to hear it's working as expected now.
Sure enough, it went to standby mode after a while. Thanks.
It should only show activated when it's sensing motion (assuming it's not still in the walk test mode which happens for 10 minutes after it's powered on).
How long will this sensor show as ACTIVATED in the GC3 once it has been activated?
