This review is from: Honeywell 5808W3 Wireless Photoelectric Smoke/Heat Detector (Electronics)

When finishing a remodel one of the most common inspection complaints is that the code for smoke alarms has changed (now requiring every bedroom and all large areas to have their own unit). That may mean a long wire run, or the 5803W3 unit which works well with the ademco 5800 wireless system. This unit combines both a smoke and thermal rate of rise (heat) trigger for the best home defense against fire.

We often use these where a remodel is held up for lack of a smoke alarm. They are quick to enroll in the panel and system, but you MUST mount them to the ceiling first. The reason is that ademco has a tamper switch which will NOT allow proper enrollment unless first mounted. Watch out for that one!

Otherwise this is a quick resolution to meeting all applicable NPFA codes and getting final signoff for the customer.

This smoke/heat detector was new, sealed in the manufacturer's box. It was sold by an amazon associate, so delivery was not quite so quick as amazon, but reasonable, and well packaged. I added this to an existing Ademco Vista-20p security panel. Configuring it is not for the faint of heart, but if you're comfortable with doing that, I recommend this source for the detector.
