Honeywell Home Intrusion 5816WHCASE Sensor Case

Product Description

The HONEYWELL HOME INTRUSION 5816WHCASE is a replacement outer case designed for the 5816 series wireless door and window contact sensor. This case serves as the physical housing that encloses the sensor's internal components, protecting circuitry from dust, moisture, and mechanical damage. It ships in white to match standard residential trim and wall finishes. Security system technicians and alarm installers replace this case when the original housing is cracked, broken, or missing, restoring the sensor to a serviceable condition without requiring a full unit replacement.

The 5816WHCASE is used in residential and light commercial security installations where 5816 series wireless door and window sensors are deployed. Typical applications include perimeter protection on entry doors, sliding doors, windows, and similar openings. This replacement case is relevant during service calls where physical damage to the housing has occurred but the sensor's internal electronics remain functional. It is sold as an individual unit, making it practical for targeted repairs without stocking full replacement sensors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security systems technician familiar with low-voltage wiring practices. Before opening any sensor housing, verify the security panel is disarmed and the zone is bypassed to prevent false alarms. Use care when separating housing halves to avoid stressing internal wiring or circuit board connections. Reinstall and test the sensor zone at the panel after reassembly to confirm proper operation.
