Honeywell Home Intrusion 5816OD 2-zone Outdoor Transmitter

Product Description

The Honeywell Home Intrusion 5816OD is a 2-zone outdoor wireless transmitter designed for perimeter and exterior door or window monitoring in residential and light commercial security systems. It transmits contact status wirelessly to a compatible receiver or alarm control panel, eliminating the need for hardwired runs to exterior openings. The 5816OD includes a tamper circuit that alerts the panel if the unit is disturbed or removed from its mounting surface. Licensed alarm installation technicians are the primary installers for this device.

The 5816OD is suited for outdoor installations where exposure to weather and temperature variation requires a rugged transmitter housing. Typical applications include monitoring gates, garage doors, exterior entry doors, and windows on the building perimeter. Its 2-zone capability allows a single transmitter to supervise two separate contact points, reducing the number of devices required on a job. It fits into wireless security system deployments where panel zone capacity and RF reliability are primary concerns.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed alarm system technician in accordance with local codes and the panel manufacturer's wiring and enrollment guidelines. Power down or disarm the security system before adding or replacing wireless transmitters to avoid false alarms during enrollment. Mount the transmitter and magnet according to the manufacturer's spacing specifications found in the product data sheet. Do not install in locations where RF signal may be blocked by metal framing or large metallic objects between the transmitter and the receiver.
