Honeywell L5210 Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a House Alarm Sound For?
The alarm on a security system will sound for as long as the bell timeout is set for. Many panels feature separate timeout settings for fire alarms and burglary alarms. Most panels allow users to easily access these settings through the Installer menu. Learn more about bell timeout settings.
How Do I Remotely Control a ZWSTAT from my Android or iOS Phone?
The ZWSTAT can be controlled remotely using either the Total Connect app or the Alarm.com app. You will use Total Connect if you have a Honeywell system. Alarm.com will be used if your system is a 2GIG or Qolsys model. You will need to have a monitoring plan that includes Total Connect or Alarm.com.
How Do I Program a 5802WXT to a Lynx Touch or Lyric Controller?
The 5802WXT wireless panic button can be programmed much in the same way as any other wireless sensor. This involves auto-learning in the serial number of the sensor through the zone programming mode of the panel. From there, adjust the settings for the device, and the 5802WXT will be ready for use.
What is the Best Smoke Detector for a Honeywell Security System?
The 5808W3 is a fantastic smoke detector for Honeywell Systems. The device includes both a smoke and heat detector, and it can be readily used with any Honeywell panel that is able to connect with 5800 Series wireless devices. When connecting with a Vista panel, a wireless receiver will be required.
How Do I Get My Alarm Company to Change My Installer Code?
Contacting your alarm company is not needed to change the Installer Code on your panel. An end user is able to change their own Installer Code, assuming they know their current Installer Code. However, simply leaving the Installer Code at its default is the best option for the majority of end users.
Why Doesn't My L5210 Do Anything When I Click "Program"?
If clicking on "Program" within the Installer Menu of a Honeywell L5210 does not take you to the next screen, you have been locked out of programming. This is because you selected "No" when asked if you wanted to allow the installer to reenter programming. You must use the backdoor method to get in.
How Much Does Honeywell Total Connect Cost?
Honeywell's Total Connect interactive service does not feature one specific price. The price that a user pays for the service depends upon how much they are charged by their alarm monitoring company. A Honeywell security panel with an internet or cellular connection is required to use Total Connect.
Are Old Honeywell Hardwired Contacts Compatible w/ Modern Systems?
It is possible to use old Honeywell hardwired contacts with a newer security panel, such as a LYNX Touch or a Lyric Controller. This can be done with a wireless converter, such as the Honeywell 5800C2W. The security devices will connect to the 5800C2W, which will use a wireless zone with the system.
Honeywell 5828V vs 5828
The only difference between the Honeywell 5828V Keypad and the Honeywell 5828 Keypad is that the 5828V Keypad has a voice feature. This means it will read out the zone descriptors whenever a zone is faulted. The 5828V can also be used to record an audible voice message that can be played back later.
What is the Best Long-Range, Wireless Indoor Motion Sensor?
For long-range motion detection, the best wireless indoor sensor is arguably the Honeywell 5800PIR-COM. By using its included long-range curtain lens, the device offers an impressive range of 100 by 20 feet. This makes it a great motion sensor for long, narrow areas that require complete protection.
