Can I Add a Smoke Detector to My 2GIG Alarm System?
Wireless 345 MHz smoke detectors can easily be added to a 2GIG Alarm System. There are compatible smoke detectors from Honeywell and 2GIG. Learn about smoke detectors.
What Systems Connect w/ Honeywell 5800 Smoke Detectors?
The Honeywell 5800 Series Smoke Detectors are used with security systems that support the 345 MHz frequency. Learn more about Honeywell 5800 Series Smoke Detectors.
Does a Honeywell 5808W3 Work if the Alarm System is Off?
The Honeywell 5808W3 Smoke & Heat Detector can still be activated if it is not programmed to an alarm system or if its associated system is off. Learn about the Honeywell 5808W3.
Should I Use Fire With Verification?
Fire With Verification means that a smoke detector must be activated twice within a short time for an alarm to occur. Learn why we discourage the use of Fire With Verification.
What Does Fire With Verification Mean?
If a Fire Zone on a security system is set for Fire With Verification, the smoke detector must be triggered twice for an alarm to occur. Learn about Fire With Verification.
How Do I Test the 5808W3 on the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus?
There are two ways to test the 5808W3. The first is to activate its test button. The other is to test manually. Put your system on test mode before testing. Learn about the 5808W3.
How Do I Learn a 5808W3 Into a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus?
A Honeywell 5808W3 Smoke and Heat Detector can be used with the legacy 345 MHz version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. Find out how to learn a 5808W3 into an IQ Panel 2.
Smoke Detector vs. Heat Detector
A smoke detector responds to the presence of smoke. A heat detector responds to unusually high temperatures. Both indicate that there is a fire. Learn about fire-safety products.
Can I Use My Honeywell Security System to Wirelessly Monitor My Home's Temperature?
