Honeywell 5800PIR-COM Wireless Passive Infrared Motion Sensor Review

Features Faster and Easier to Install Specific features that contribute to this benefit include: – Automatic walk test – Flashlight walk test – No DIP switches/jumpers – Remotely programmable sensitivity – No mounting height adjustments – Circuit board does not need to be removed to install on wall – Ceiling and wall mounting brackets help to easily direct the pattern where needed – 7′-9′ mounting height means fewer restrictions than current offerings (6.5′-7.5′) – Easy opening case – Covered circuit board reduces risk of installer initiated damage – Automatic walk test mode turns on the walk test LED for ten minutes when cover is opened and closed or when a battery is installed. Walk test mode can also be triggered with a flashlight on the 5800PIR and 5800PIR-COM. – Remotely programmable – Longer battery life – End-user replaceable batteries – Black bug guard means 15% fewer false alarms due to bright lights directed into the PIR – UV protected lenses (on all models except 5800PIR-RES) Smaller/Better with a Family Look The new PIRs are 50% smaller than the 5890PI. Also, dealers can install one family look whether they use hardwired, V-Plex or wireless in order to complete the job. In addition, if the dealers need to mix and match sensing technologies, the look of the installation is consistent. Decreased Liability Self test—alerts end-user and central station if the motion detector stops functioning (except 5800PIR-RES) Optional Cold Temperature Alert (< 45° F) warns when temperatures are approaching the freezing point (except 5800PIR-RES). Commercial Dealer —Additional Benefits – New longer range patterns allow more wireless options – Colder operation down to -20° C (-4° F) for use in unheated areas – Look down option provides increased security right below the detector – Back tamper switch—required for commercial certificated installations
