Honeywell Home Intrusion 5898 Wireless Dual Tech Motion Detector

Product Description

The Honeywell Home Intrusion 5898 is a wireless dual-technology motion detector designed for use in security and intrusion detection systems. It combines two sensing technologies in a single unit to reduce false alarms and improve detection reliability. The dual-tech design requires both technologies to trigger simultaneously before activating an alarm signal, making it well suited for environments where single-technology detectors produce nuisance trips. Installation is typically handled by licensed alarm and security system technicians.

The 5898 is used in residential and light commercial intrusion detection applications where wireless installation is preferred over hardwired runs. Its wireless design simplifies retrofits in finished spaces where running new wire is impractical. The detector is sold as a single unit and integrates with compatible wireless security panels and receivers.

Key Features

• Dual-technology sensing reduces false alarm rates compared to single-technology PIR detectors
• Wireless design eliminates the need for signal wiring back to the control panel
• Sold as a single unit for straightforward replacement or new-zone installation
• Compact form factor suited for standard wall or corner mounting in protected spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wireless motion detector for use with compatible wireless intrusion detection control panels and receivers. Consult panel documentation to confirm wireless frequency and protocol compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed alarm or low-voltage security technician in accordance with local codes and the panel manufacturer's guidelines. Disarm and power down the security system before wiring or pairing the device. Follow the panel's enrollment procedure to register the wireless zone. Mount the detector at the manufacturer-recommended height and angle to achieve the specified coverage pattern.
