Description

The Honeywell 995 is a Flush Mount PIR Motion Sensor. The installer has the option of placing the hardwired sensor into a single-gang box or recess mounting it into the wall. The sensor offers a detection range of 40 by 56 feet. It uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect movement.

As a hardwired motion detection sensor, the Honeywell 995 is set up using a 4-wire connection. Two (2) of the wires are for power, and the other 2 are for zone status. The device has an operating current of 15mA. While this operating current is relatively low, you should still make sure to account for it in current load calculations. Alarm wire does not come included with the sensor, so you must provide your own. We recommend 18-4 wire or 22-4 wire for this job.

To increase or decrease device sensitivity, you can adjust the pulse count for the Honeywell 995 using a jumper. A lower pulse count will make the device more sensitive and easier to activate. Conversely, increasing the pulse count will make the device less sensitive and less prone to accidental activation. This can be important for preventing false alarms. You should make sure to Walk Test the sensor after installation and set up to ensure that it works the way you want it to.

If needed, horizontal and vertical adjustments for device detection area are also possible. For best results, the sensor should be placed away from any vents, air ducts and direct sunlight, as such activity could potentially cause a false alarm or unwarranted activation. For more information on choosing a location for a motion sensor, please check out this FAQ. The sensor's 40 by 56 feet coverage area is achieved when surface mounting the device on a single gang recessed box at a height of seven (7) feet.

Please note that pet immunity is not a feature of this motion detection sensor. It also does not offer a look down zone. But the sensor does have a red LED to indicate activation. You can disable the LED by applying a jumper to the designated location. An alternative long range lens called the 995LR gives the sensor a field of view (FoV) of 70 feet by 8.4 feet. The 995LR lens is best-suited for use in locations like hallways and corridors. The sensor lacks a bug guard, and it is for indoor use only. Sensor dimensions are 4.53"L x 2.75"W x 0.8"D.

Reviews
Great Flush-Mount Motion Sensor
Submitted on 08/21/2019 Alarm Grid

We think the Honeywell 995 is an excellent flush-mount PIR motion sensor. It is great for use in locations where a unique mounting option is desired. By installing the hardwired motion sensor into a single-gang box or recess-mounting it into the wall, you can better integrate the sensor with the building. The sensor works very reliably in this regard, which is why we give it a 5-Star rating.

The Honeywell 995 works like most other motion sensors. It uses passive infrared (PIR) technology to detect movement. This involves looking for the changes in infrared (IR) energy that occur when a person or object comes into the sensor's field of view. When a change in IR energy is detected, the sensor will alert the system to the activity. The system will then respond according to the Response Type for that zone. This allows you to be quite flexible in how you choose to use your Honeywell 995.

What makes the Honeywell 995 unique is its mounting options. The device is not mounted on the surface of a wall or "corner-mounted". Rather, this is a unique "recessed" motion sensor that actually integrates with the building itself. Our technicians admit that this makes the device more difficult for the average DIY user to install. But if you are looking for a flush-mount motion sensor, then this is a great device for you. Remember that you will need to run a wire from the panel to the Honeywell 995 to complete the installation.

As a motion sensor, the Honeywell 995 is perfectly serviceable. It doesn't offer the largest coverage area, but for many users this will not be a problem. Its coverage area is 40 feet by 56 feet, which is great for use in homes and small businesses. There is also an adjustable pulse count for increasing or decreasing device sensitivity, and horizontal and vertical detection adjustments are also available. Please note that pet immunity is not available for this sensor, so keep that in mind if you have pets in your home.

Bottom line, the Honeywell 995 is a great flush-mount motion sensor. It works as expected, and it makes a great addition to a hardwired system. That is why we recommend this product and give it 5-Stars.
