Installation Manual

FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates possible, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability - can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons: Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors, including ionization and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.

IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring, communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire. Audible warning devices such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. A fire alarm system will not operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby batteries only for a specified time. Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. The most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes. Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

5820XL specifications

The Honeywell 5820XL is a versatile and advanced wireless motion detector designed for residential and commercial security applications. It offers a combination of cutting-edge technology and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for ensuring safety and peace of mind.

One of the standout features of the Honeywell 5820XL is its advanced imaging technology. The detector employs Passive Infrared (PIR) sensing, which allows it to detect motion based on the heat emitted by objects in its field of view. This ensures high sensitivity to human movement while minimizing false alarms triggered by pets or environmental factors.

The Honeywell 5820XL is engineered with a sleek, low-profile design that can seamlessly blend into various indoor environments. Its unobtrusive presence makes it suitable for both residential homes and businesses. The device is also lightweight and compact, facilitating easy installation in various locations without compromising performance.

Another key characteristic of the 5820XL is its impressive range of detection. The unit offers a coverage area of up to 40 feet in a standard installation, ensuring a wide detection span that is effective in larger spaces. Additionally, it features a 90-degree field of view, allowing for comprehensive monitoring of hallways, rooms, and open areas.

The 5820XL is built with dual zone detection technology, which helps it distinguish between different types of motion. This not only reduces false alarms but also provides enhanced security by focusing on genuine threats. Furthermore, the detector is equipped with a tamper switch that triggers an alert if the unit is removed or tampered with, providing an additional layer of protection.

For added convenience, the Honeywell 5820XL utilizes a robust wireless communication system, ensuring a reliable connection with Honeywell security panels. The unit operates on a long-lasting battery, which minimizes maintenance and allows for uninterrupted performance.

In summary, the Honeywell 5820XL wireless motion detector combines advanced sensing technology, expansive detection range, and a sleek design to provide effective motion surveillance. Its dual zone detection, along with the tamper alert feature, adds to its functionality, making it a valuable addition to any security system. Whether for residential or commercial use, the Honeywell 5820XL stands out as a dependable choice in motion detection technology.
