Honeywell 5800PIR-RES User Manual

WIRELESS MOTION DETECTORS

Honeywell’s 5800PIR Series of Wireless Motion Detectors

are high-performance, easy-to-install sensors featuring

sleek, compact designs that are ideal for applications

where aesthetics or discretion are critical. On the 5800PIR

and 5800PIR-COM, PIR sensitivity and temperature

sensing can be enabled via programming locally or from

the central station. Installation is easy, with no jumpers,

switches or disassembly, fewer mounting restrictions and

an automatic walk test mode that turns on the walk 

test LED for ten minutes—saving installers one trip up 

the ladder for each sensor. Other notable benefits include

fewer service calls thanks to a long-life battery and 

empty cases which allow designers and end-users to

custom-paint the motion detectors to match any

residential or commercial setting. The 5800PIR blends

perfectly with all of the 5800 Series family of sensors for 

a seamless look.

Specific features that contribute to

this benefit include:

– Automatic walk test

– Flashlight walk test

– No DIP switches/jumpers

– Remotely programmable sensitivity

– No mounting height adjustments 

– Circuit board does not need to be

removed to install on wall

– Ceiling and wall mounting brackets 

help to easily direct the pattern 

where needed

– 7'-9' mounting height means fewer 

restrictions than current offerings 

(6.5'-7.5')

– Easy opening case

– Covered circuit board reduces risk 

of installer initiated damage

Incorrect installation of equipment or

changing requirements of the site

(new pets) is no longer a problem

– Automatic walk test mode turns 

on the walk test LED for ten 

minutes when cover is opened 

and closed or when a battery is 

installed. Walk test mode can also 

be triggered with a flashlight on 

the 5800PIR and 5800PIR-COM.

– Remotely programmable 

– Longer battery life

– End-user replaceable batteries

– Black bug guard means 15% fewer 

false alarms due to bright lights 

directed into the PIR

– UV protected lenses (on all models 

except 5800PIR-RES)

The new PIRs are 50% smaller than

the 5890PI. Also, dealers can install

one family look whether they use

hardwired, V-Plex or wireless in order

to complete the job. In addition, if the

dealers need to mix and match

sensing technologies, the look of the

installation is consistent. 

Only one battery to replace.

Self test—alerts end-user and central

station if the motion detector stops

functioning (except 5800PIR-RES)

(< 45° F) warns when temperatures 

are approaching the freezing point

(except 5800PIR-RES).

– New longer range patterns allow

more wireless options

– Colder operation down to -20° C 

(-4° F) for use in unheated areas

– Look down option provides 

increased security right below 

the detector

– Back tamper switch—required 

for commercial certificated 

installations
