2GIG Edge: Using with Honeywell 5800 Sensors

[AUDIO LOGO] Hey, DIYers. Dylan here with AlarmGrid. Today we're going to review if 5,800 Honeywell sensors can work with the two gig edge panel. Short answer is, yes, they are compatible. I'm going to show you how to program a door sensor, the 5816, to the two gig edge panel. We'll test it, make sure it works, and review some of the different features it offers. So we have our two gig edge panel, and we're going to program a 5816 door contact sensor.

So just real quick before I do that. So the 5816 is referred to as a unidirectional or one-way sensor. Majority of all the Honeywell 5,800 sensors are going to be that. But some do require a house ID. Any sensor, siren, or keypad that requires a house ID cannot be used. So some examples is the 5,800 wave siren and the 5828 keypad. And the 5816 and other sensors that do require multiple loops or have the option for multiple loops will take up multiple zone spots on the panel as well.

So let's go ahead and start programming. So we're going to press the gear icon on the bottom right. We're going to use our installer code. Ours is still the default 1561. We're going to scroll down to installer toolbox, panel programming, wireless zones. And right here is your list of zones. There are 100 available wireless zones. So we'll just start with number one. Now, equipment code. We're going to press this little list icon here that's going to show us all the available options. So this is going to show for options that are two gig, the E-series, which is their encrypted ones.

If we scroll down past the two gig options, we'll see these non-branded ones. So existing door window contact. So you'll use these if the sensor you're using does not have a equipment code already set. So here are some of the 5,800 sensors that do have an equipment code. We're going to use the 5816. We'll press Sensor type. Back to the list here. This is how the sensor is going to react when it's triggered. So you can do entry, exit, or perimeter. Those are mainly used for door contacts. We will do just Entry Exit.

TXID is essentially the serial number. Now you can manually type it in or you can press the learn option here. And then while that's listening, we're going to fault the sensor. Perfect. It pulled in right away. Except it learned it as loop two automatically because it's using the reed switch. I don't have an auxiliary contact wire to this. That would be loop one. Voice. So this is going to be what the sensor is called. I will put front and then door.

Sensor chime, this is going to be if you want an audible chime along with it. So this will be a noise along with the voice. Or you can just do voice only. For this, I'm just going to do voice only. And then we have other options here. So transmission delay, sensor reports, and sensor supervised. So just real quick over these last two sensor reports, we'll send an alarm signal to the monitoring station if you're connected with one. Sensor supervised means that the sensor will check in with the panel. And if there's any issue with the sensor checking in with the panel, you'll get an error showing up here. All right. So that is-- everything's looking good there. We're going to press Next zone. And we're just going to program that one for now for testing. So I'm going to press back or just press home.

System disarmed. Ready to arm.

OK. So we're ready to arm. Let's see if the system recognizes that we program the sensor. I'm going to fault it. Front door is showing open. And let's make sure it closes. Perfect. All right. So we have that set there. The sensor did program. So yeah. So 5,800 sensors have no issue working with two gig panels. Like I mentioned, if you don't see the specific equipment code for your sensor, just use one of those existing door window, smoke detector motion, anything like that, and it's going to work just as the same.

So that is how you program a 5,800 sensor to the two gig edge panel. Again, we programmed the 5816 sensor. We test it with the system, made sure it was reporting properly.
