Setting Up The 5800C2W with a Lyric Controller

In this video, Joe from Alarm Grid shows users how to conduct the installation for a Honeywell 5800C2W. This is a wired to wireless converter module that allows hardwired sensors to be used with a compatible 345 MHz wireless alarm control panel. This includes the wireless AIO Honeywell Lyric System.

Normally if a user gets a new wireless system like a Lyric, they will just buy compatible wireless sensors. But not all users are starting from scratch. They may have an existing hardwired system and sensors. If the hardwired sensors still work properly, then they don't necessarily need to be replaced. A wired to wireless converter module like the Honeywell 5800C2W will let the user extend the lifespan of these sensors by integrating them with their new Lyric System.

The process for setting up a Honeywell 5800C2W starts with connecting hardwired sensors to the module itself. The 5800C2W can support up to 9 hardwired zones. It cannot support any life-safety sensors, such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors. It is designed for security sensors only. Users often find that installing the 5800C2W in the old location of their previous wired panel is a good idea. This way, they can conveniently connect all the wired sensors right to the 5800C2W.

The 5800C2W will also require power. it uses a 15.5VDC plug-in transformer as its main power source. Using a backup battery is also recommended in case the electricity goes out. All of the appropriate power connections should be made. Remember to follow proper polarity when wiring. From there, all of the hardwired sensors can be learned-in with the Lyric Controller. The user should put the system into its wireless enrollment mode and activate the hardwired sensors to learn them in.

The 5800C2W will send out a wireless 345 MHz signal to the Lyric whenever one of the hardwired sensors is activated. The Lyric will then treat the 5800C2W zones as any other wireless system zones. One thing to remember when using a 5800C2W module is that any trouble conditions affecting the module will always appear on the lowest calibrated zone.
