Honeywell Home Intrusion 5853 Wireless Glass Break Detector

Product Description

The Honeywell Home Intrusion 5853 is a wireless glass break detector designed to sense the acoustic signature of breaking glass and trigger an alarm in a compatible security system. Operating without hardwired connections, it uses radio frequency transmission to communicate with a compatible receiver or control panel. The 5853 suits residential and light commercial installations where window and glass door protection is required. Licensed security installers and alarm technicians are the primary installers of this device.

The 5853 is used in perimeter protection applications, typically mounted on walls or ceilings near glazed surfaces such as windows and glass doors. It is suited for residential homes, offices, and small commercial spaces where wireless zone expansion is preferred over running new wire. The detector monitors a coverage area for the specific frequency and pattern of shattering glass, differentiating it from other ambient noise.

Key Features

• Wireless design eliminates the need for hardwired sensor runs to the control panel
• Detects acoustic signature of breaking glass for perimeter zone coverage
• Designed for wall or ceiling mounting near glazed surfaces
• Suitable for residential and light commercial security applications
• Sold as a single unit for flexible zone-by-zone installation

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed alarm technician or low-voltage contractor in accordance with local codes and the manufacturer's installation guide. Power down or disarm the security system before adding or enrolling new wireless zones. Mount the detector according to the coverage radius specifications in the product data sheet to ensure reliable glass break detection. Do not install in areas with excessive airflow or machinery noise that may interfere with acoustic sensing.
