The 5800CO is a 3V battery powered wireless carbon
monoxide (CO) detector intended for use with Honeywell
alarm systems that support 5800 Series wireless devices.
It provides early warning when its electrochemical sensing
technology measures carbon monoxide levels in the air.
The 5800CO is specifically designed for system operation
and is fully listed to UL 2075 as a system supervised
detector.* It contains a piezoelectric horn which generates
the ANSI S3.41 temporal 4 pattern in an alarm condition.
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.
What is Carbon Monoxide and How Can it Harm Consumers?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and highly toxic gas that is produced when fuels such as wood,
gasoline, charcoal and oil are burned with insufficient air. The majority of residential and commercial fatalities caused from
these fuels come from heating systems, engine powered tools and charcoal grills. Carbon monoxide is harmful when
inhaled because it displaces oxygen in the blood and deprives the heart, brain and other vital organs of oxygen. Large
amounts of CO can overcome a person in minutes without warning—causing them to lose consciousness and suffocate.
The 5800CO is designed to warn the end-user well before the CO reaches a fatal level. The detector’s CO sensitivity is
evaluated to UL 2034. Key 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 and 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. |
