Honeywell 5800PIR Frequently Asked Questions
What Battery Goes in a Honeywell 5800 Series Motion Sensor?
Most Honeywell 5800 Series Motion Sensors use lithium CR123A batteries. There are also some that use AA batteries. Learn about Honeywell 5800 Series Motion Sensors.
Which Motion Sensors are Compatible with the Honeywell L5100?
A Honeywell L5100 has a built-in wireless receiver that allows it to support 345 MHz devices. This includes Honeywell 5800 Series Motion Sensors. Learn about the L5100.
What Type of Battery Fits a Honeywell 5800 Infrared Motion Sensor?
The Honeywell 5800PIR, 5800PIR-COM, and the 5800PIR-RES all use a single CR123A battery for power. This is known as a camera battery. Learn about Honeywell Motion Sensors.
What Motion Sensors Work w/ the LYNX Touch L7000?
The L7000 supports wireless sensors that operate at 345 MHz. This gives the user many options for choosing motion sensors. Find out which motion sensors work with the L7000.
What Is the Best Cold Temperature Detecting PIR Sensor?
The 5800PIR is a motion sensor that can also be programmed as a temperature sensor. There is also the 5800PIR-COM, which has an extended detection range. Learn about the 5800PIR.
What is a Walk Test?
You should perform a Walk Test after installing a new motion sensor to make sure it responds properly and won't cause false alarms. Learn about Walk Tests and how they work.
Will a Honeywell 5800PIR Motion Activate an Audible Alarm?
In most cases, a Honeywell 5800PIR Motion Detector will cause an audible alarm if it is activated. This is dependent upon sensor and system settings. Learn about the 5800PIR.
What is a PIR Motion Sensor?
Passive infrared (PIR) technology is the most common method for detecting motion. This involves looking for changes in infrared energy. Learn about PIR motion sensors.
Do Alarm Motion Sensors Work Through Glass?
Motion sensors detect changes in infrared (IR) energy. This cannot be done through modern glass, so motion sensors do not sense through glass. Learn more about PIR motion sensors.
Do Motion Detectors Work Through Windows?
Motion sensors are usually unable to detect motion through glass. The infrared energy needed to activate a motion won't easily pass through glass. Learn more about motion sensors.
