Product Details
For those interested in a wireless system, who have a pre-wired home, the 5800C2W offers the perfect solution. With 9 wired zone terminals available for use with the sensors of a 12-volt, wired security system, this unit will allow users with wired sensors the freedom to use those sensors with Honeywell's state of the art wireless systems like the Honeywell Lyric Alarm System and the LYNX Touch Systems. It can also be used with 2GIG Systems and the IQ Panel 2 Plus with legacy Honeywell daughtercard. Basically, any system that support 345 MHz wireless sensors will support the 5800C2W.For those trying to decide between a wired system versus a wireless system, this unit makes the decision painless, allowing any user to get the incredible flexibility of wireless sensors and systems with the capabilities of using wired sensors. The system can provide power for wired PIR motion detectors and glass break detectors. However, life safety devices such as wired smokes, heats and CO Detectors are not supported for use with the Honeywell 5800C2W.Although the transformer is included with the 5800C2W there is no power cable or wire. We recommend purchasing the LT-Cable separately and using it to conveniently connect the transformer to the C2W. While the transformer looks much like the 300-04705V1 transformer that comes with the LYNX Touch and Lyric Controller, DO NOT use this transformer on the 5800C2W, and DO NOT use the 5800C2W transformer to power those panels. You can purchase the proper Honeywell 300-07052 transformer for the C2W separately if you misplace or damage the included one.Previous to the release of this device, consumers relied on third-party products such as Resolution Products' wired-to-wireless converter, RE208. For others, the alternative was to use a transmitter like the 5816 which would allow wired zones to be converted into wireless... view more
