Description

The Honeywell 5881ENL is an (8) zone wireless receiver that is compatible with all Honeywell alarm control panels that support a wireless receiver connected to the ECP Bus (keypad terminals). As a member of the 5881EN series of radio frequency (RF) receivers, the 5881ENL features a Spatial Diversity System that essentially eliminates all "nulls" and "dead spots" within the wireless coverage area. Add a 5881ENL (8) zone wireless receiver to your Honeywell security system to make it compatible with the full range of 5800 series wireless sensors.

The 5881ENL wireless receiver accepts alarm signals and status messages from Honeywell wireless transmitters using the 345MHz frequency range. The wireless range of the 5881ENL is 200' nominal from the device to any installed wireless transmitters. Most Honeywell security systems can only use (1) wireless receiver. The higher end commercial control panels can accept more than (1) wireless receiver to provide redundant wireless coverage or provide coverage to a larger area.

As the Honeywell 5881ENL is the low end receiver, it can only be used with (8) programmed wireless zones. If your Honeywell security system is programmed for more than (8) wireless zones a "SET UP ERROR" message will be displayed on alphanumeric keypads and an "E4" or "E8" message will be displayed on fixed English keypads. Until the extra wireless zones are deleted from the security system's zone programming, none of the wireless zones will function properly. If you will be using more than (8) wireless zones, you should look at the Honeywell 5881ENM or Honeywell 5881ENH instead of the 5881ENL. The 5881ENM supports up to (16) wireless zones while the 5881ENH's zone compatibility is limited by the Honeywell security system being used and not by the wireless receiver itself.

Once you have wired the Honeywell 5881ENL to your security system's alarm control panel, you must set the DIP switches to identify the wireless receiver's address within device address programming. For most Honeywell security systems, you should set all dip switches to the off position which will set the 5881ENL to device address (00). As soon as the wireless receiver has been connected and the device address has been programmed, zones 9-16 will be available for wireless zone programming.

Hello Kevin, The wireless receiver's job is just to receive then the panel process all the data. The 15p is only capable of supporting 1 wireless receiver. If possible move the 6150rf to the bottom of the "U" if possible. If not, you want to add a 5800rp to extend the signal further. https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-5800rp.
I have a Vista 15P and two keypads, a 6150RF and a 6290W. My house is shaped like a U, with the 6150RF at the northwest corner of the "U". My control panel is located at the bottom of the "U". I have two wireless window sensors (5800MINIs) on the northeast corner of the "U", that are connected to the 6150RF. I have an open air courtyard and several stucco walls that the signal must pass through (the center of the "U" shape), in a straight line between the 5800minis and the 6150RF. I occasionally get a disconnect error, where the sensor is not checking in with the 6150RF for a period, which requires me to bypass the two wireless window zones, until the error clears, and it resolves itself. The disconnect error seems to be entirely random, and not battery related, or anything else I can figure out. My question is, could I connect a 5881ENL to my vista15p, and migrate the connection for my two window sensors to the 5881? This would provide me with a shorter communication path between the 5800MINIs, and the panel, since the signal would not have to pass across the entire house (just down a hallway more or less). And, could I also connect additional sensors to the 6150rf, nearer to the keypad, and run them concurrently with the 5881? Basically what I'm asking is, can you have wireless zones that report individually and separately to a keypad and the 5881 at the same time, assuming you can have these on the same system?
First you need to install and configure an RF receiver. You can use a standalone receiver like this 5881 or you add a keypad with an integrated RF receiver like the 6150RF ( https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-6150rf ) or 6160RF ( https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-6160rf ). I generally recommend the keypad style because they are cost effective and add the value of having another keypad. The 5881ENH and 6160RF both support up to 40 rf zones, the 5881ENM and 6150RF support up to 16 zones and the 5881ENL (this page) supports up to 8 zones. Each wireless transmitter eats up a single zone.
I have a vista 20P and am interested in adding smoke / heat detectors. The system is currently all hardwire. I don't want to run wires for the detector. How do i get a wireless smoke to work with my 20P
Each door/window/smoke detector would be their own zones. If you want to use more than 8 zones I would reccomend the https://www.alarmgrid.com/products/honeywell-5881enh
What exactly is a zone with regards to the 5881 series receiver? Is it a single wireless transmitter? So each door or window would be it’s own zone? Would each smoke be it’s own zone or to save zone space can I call all wireless smoke detectors one zone? If that’s the case, how many wireless transmitters can this recognize and accept?
