Honeywell Home Carbon Monoxide Detector With Wireless Transmitter - 5800CO
Honeywell Home 5800CO Carbon Monoxide Detector With Built-In Wireless Transmitter
The 5800CO Carbon Monoxide Detector with Wireless Transmitter is a 3V battery-powered wireless carbon monoxide (CO) detector intended for use with Honeywell Home alarm systems that support 5800 Series wireless devices. It can provide early warning when its electrochemical sensing technology measures carbon monoxide levels in the air.
The detector consists of an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor assembly coupled with a wireless transmitter. The transmitter can send alarm, trouble, end-of-life, tamper and low battery condition messages to the alarm panel.
Since there are no holes to drill or wires to run, you can preserve the beauty of the home or building while protecting its occupants from harmful carbon monoxide gas. The 5800CO is an ideal carbon monoxide detector for difficult-to-wire locations, applications where room aesthetics are critical or where hazardous materials exist.
Features
- Electrochemical Sensing Technology
Electrochemical detectors are the newest, most refined CO detectors available and provide the most accurate measurement of CO concentration obtainable. They can take readings from low levels that may be hazardous over long periods of time to high concentrations that present an immediate danger. - Local Sounder
A built-in piezoelectric horn generates the ANSI S3.41 temporal 4 pattern in an alarm condition. The local sounder will also alert the end-user of other conditions such as low battery, detector trouble and end-of-life. - LED Status Indicators
Dual LEDs provide local visual indication of the detector’s status–including normal operation, alarm, low battery, trouble and end-of-life. - End-of-Life Timer
When the detector has reached the end of its life, the detector will send a trouble signal to the panel. This indicates that the CO sensor inside the detector has passed the end of its life and the detector needs to be replaced. The detector’s lifespan is approximately six years from the date of manufacture. - Full Supervision
The 5800CO is fully supervised to monitor for low battery, case tamper and trouble conditions. - Test/Hush Button
This dual purpose button allows the end-user to perform periodic testing of the detector. In the event of a CO alarm, this button will silence the local sounder alarm for a five minute period. Note: the Hush feature will not operate at levels above 350 ppm (parts per million) carbon monoxide. - Versatile Mounting
Whether you choose to affix the detector to the ceiling or a wall, mounting is made simple with the enclosed hardware. The mounting base has large mounting ports, which accommodate drywall anchors for easy surface mounting. - Tamper Protection & Tamper Resistant Element
The detector has a built-in tamper switch that can communicate back to the control panel in the event it is removed from the base. For an added level of security, the detector also includes a tamper resistant element that prevents removal from the base without the use of a tool.
Mounting Recommendations
- Carbon Monoxide Detector Location
- Place within 10 feet of each sleeping area
- Be sure there is at least one on each floor of the home
- Install in the vicinity of flame-fueled appliances, but no closer than 10 feet
- Be sure that detectors are kept away from vents and the reach of children and pets
- For Wall Mount
- The detector should be at least as high as a light switch and at least six inches from the ceiling
- For Ceiling Mount
- The detector should be at least 12 inches from any wall

Frequently Asked Questions
-
The device is powered by a 3V CR123A lithium battery. It requires one battery and is not rechargeable. This provides reliable power and long battery life for continuous monitoring.
-
It utilizes advanced electrochemical sensing technology, which is known for its high accuracy in measuring carbon monoxide levels. This technology can detect a wide range of CO concentrations, from low hazardous levels over time to immediate dangers at high levels.
-
The device includes LED status indicators for normal operation, alarm, low battery, trouble, and end-of-life signals. It also has a built-in tamper switch and a tamper-resistant element to prevent unauthorized removal. Full supervision monitors low battery, tamper, and trouble conditions to maintain reliable operation.
-
The alarm produces an audible noise at 85 decibels using a built-in piezoelectric horn. It generates the ANSI S3.41 temporal 4 pattern during an alarm condition to effectively alert occupants.
-
Mounting is versatile and can be done on a wall or ceiling using the included hardware. For wall mounting, place the device at least as high as a light switch and six inches from the ceiling. For ceiling mounting, install it at least 12 inches from any wall. It should be placed within 10 feet of sleeping areas and at least one detector should be on each floor, away from vents and out of children's and pets' reach.
