Battery Installation and Replacement

To replace the battery:

1.Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Remove the battery, and dispose properly.

2.To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before installing new battery.

3.Install a new 3-volt CR123A Lithium battery in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside the compartment.

4.Reinstall the smoke detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector clockwise.

5.Test the detector as described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH section of this manual. The green LED should blink about once every 10 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the battery is not installed correctly, the smoke detector will not operate and the battery may be damaged. If the detector does not appear to be sending a signal during any of the tests, check for correct battery installation and for a fully charged battery.

Programming

The smoke detector must be enrolled in the control panel before it can operate in the system. The 5808W3 smoke/heat protection zone must be enrolled as Loop 1 and “Input Type” 3 (supervised RF).

If programmed, this smoke detector is capable of monitoring the additional conditions of Maintenance (transmitted as Loop 2), and Low Temperature (transmitted as Loop 3). Tamper is transmitted as Loop 4, but does not require programming. To take advantage of the value added features of Maintenance and Low Temperature, you must program each loop as a separate zone in the 5800 series wireless compatible panel.

detector counter-clockwise on the base until it snaps open. Then return to clockwise position until the detector snaps into place.

6.When the serial number is displayed, transmit from the detector a second time by activating the tamper switch again as described in Step 5. The current loop number (4) will begin to flash.

7.Manually change the loop number to the desired loop number for the zone (according to the application).

8.When programming for this zone is complete, program other zones for the transmitter as necessary (except for Tamper Loop 4, which does not require programming).

WARNING: The fire protection zone enrolled must always be Loop 1. Otherwise, fire annunciations will not be reported by the control.

9.Exit Programming mode when programming is complete, and test the detector. Refer to the Testing Section.

See the control unit’s installation instructions for further details.

Mounting

First, determine the best location for the smoke detector, one that provides a strong wireless transmission path and proper smoke detection. A GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH MUST BE

ESTABLISHED FROM THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE

DETECTOR. To check, perform the test described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH section of this manual. Prior to mounting the detector to the mounting base, you must “enroll” the detector’s serial number into the system (see the PROGRAMMING section). To mount the detector, perform the following steps:

1.Once a suitable location has been determined, install the mounting base on the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit). Use the two screws and anchors provided.

2.Turn the detector in a clockwise direction in the mounting base until it clicks into place.

3.Test the detector immediately after completing the installation (as described in the TESTING section of this manual) and refer to the control system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wireless smoke detectors.

5808W3 specifications

The Honeywell 5808W3 is a state-of-the-art smoke and heat detector designed for residential and commercial applications, incorporating innovative technologies to enhance safety and reliability. This advanced device integrates both photoelectric smoke detection and fixed temperature heat sensing, providing dual functionality to ensure optimal fire detection capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Honeywell 5808W3 is its photoelectric sensing technology, which excels at quickly identifying smoldering fires. This type of fire can produce large amounts of smoke before bursting into flames, making early detection crucial. The 5808W3’s photoelectric sensor uses a light source that detects smoke particles, allowing it to respond more rapidly to slow-burning fires compared to traditional ionization detectors.

In addition to smoke detection, the 5808W3 boasts a fixed temperature heat sensor, which activates an alarm when the temperature reaches a predetermined threshold. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where smoke alarms might be prone to false alarms, such as kitchens or garages.

Another significant characteristic of the Honeywell 5808W3 is its wireless communication capability. Utilizing Honeywell's 5800 series wireless technology, the detector can easily transmit alarm signals to compatible Honeywell control panels without the need for complex wiring. This wireless feature not only simplifies installations but also allows for greater flexibility in device placement, ensuring optimal performance and coverage across the property.

The 5808W3 also includes a built-in sounder that emits an audible alarm when smoke or heat is detected. The device is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing security systems, enhancing overall monitoring and response capabilities.

Moreover, it features a robust design that minimizes susceptibility to environmental factors, ensuring reliable operation in various conditions. The unit is also equipped with a tamper-resistant design, making it secure against unauthorized removal.

In summary, the Honeywell 5808W3 smoke and heat detector stands out due to its dual detection technologies, wireless capabilities, and robust construction. Its combination of photoelectric and heat-sensing technologies offers comprehensive protection against a wide range of fire hazards, ensuring safety and peace of mind in any setting. Whether for home use or commercial applications, the Honeywell 5808W3 is a reliable choice for fire detection needs.
