5815 - Honeywell Wireless Door Window Transmitter

Excellent price and they sync perfectly with the ADT-provided L7000 . No need to call them and you can install yourself unless you have Pulse. They have to manually add the sensors in that case for them to show up in the app. The home unit however recognizes them just fine and you can bypass any extra installation costs by doing it yourself. Pretty easy and worked the first time around.

I purchased 2 of these for use with a Vista 20P Ademco Vista 20p alarm system. The box included the sensor and the magnet. It took me a while to figure out how to program this into the Vista system, because the sensor has 4 loops. Each loop has to be programmed into a separate channel. Loop 2 is closed/secure, loop 4 is open/alarm. Loop 1 (closed) and loop 3 (open) are assigned to the external wired sensor. Yes, this wireless sensor has 2 contacts for wiring 1 or more additional magnetic wired sensors such as this Ademco 945WH Honeywell 945WH Surface Mount Magnetic Contact w/ Leads in parallel. With one of these, in combination with a few cheap wired sensors you could protect a large window with multiple "doors" or multiple windows that are close by. This great feature is not mentioned anywhere on Amazon, but it is listed in the small pamphlet.I have been arming the alarm every night, and so far the sensors have functioned properly. Battery life is estimated at 1-2 years, depending on use. When the alarm system is off the sensor only checks back with the Vista base every X minutes to conserve battery.The sensor is small enough to fit and blend in with the white vinyl windows. I will post an update if there is a problem, but so far so good.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Update 1 November 2013I added Honeywell Ademco 5816WMWH White Door / Window Transmitter w/ Magnet to the alarm system to protect some doors. These sensors are bigger in size, but less in cost. I used them in 2 garage doors, so size was not a big deal. The original sensors continue working, same original battery from almost 2 years ago, and the system being armed every night. So far no issues.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I made a guide how to program this FR transmitter, it is not definite, but should get you in the right directionHOW TO PROGRAM AN RF TRANSMITTER TO ADEMCO VISTA 20PEnter programming mode: Enter Installer code (x-x-x-x) + 8 0 0.Note1: Default installer code is 4-1-1-2 in case you don't knowNote2: Always exit programming using *99Press [∗] + [Field Number] (for example, ∗56)56 - Zone Programming - Use this menu mode to program zone informationNote: A display of "EE"or "Entry Error"means you have entered a nonexistent field. Simply re-enter [∗] plus a valid field number.SET TO CONFIRM? If 1 (Yes) is entered, you will be prompted to confirm each transmitter after entering the serial and loop numbers (at the "XMIT TO CONFIRM"prompt later in this procedure).Note: We recommend that you confirm the programming of every transmitter.Zone Number for VISTA-20P:wired zones 01-08 | wireless zones 09-48 | button zones 49-64Enter Zn Num. Enter the zone number that you wish to program.Summary Screen display appears. [∗] to continueZone Type (ZT) - (see table at right) - Each zone must be assigned to a zone type, which defines the way in which the system responds to faults in that zone. Enter the Zone Type code. See manual for more types01 = Entry/exit #1 | 02 = Entry/exit #2 | 03 = PerimeterNote:If 00 is entered, Delete Zone ? will be displayed.Partition No. (P) - Enter the Partition number 1.

[∗] to continueInput Device type - This prompt is skipped for zones 1-8. Type is RF for all of the RF transmitters. [∗] to continueSerial number Entry and Loop Number Entry - Used only when enrolling wireless transmitters.a) Transmit two open/close sequences. If using a button-type transmitter, press and release the button twice, but wait about 4 seconds before pressing the button the second time.b) manually enter the 7-digit serial number printed on the label of the transmitter.Press the [✱] key -the cursor will move to the "L"position.You can edit the loop number, if necessary. Loop 2 is closed/secure, loop 4 is open/alarm. Loop 1 (closed) and loop 3 (open) are assigned to the external wired sensor.When the loop number is acceptable, press [✱]. Make sure the device and magnet loop is closedXMIT TO CONFIRM PRESS ✱ TO SKIP - This prompt will only appear if you answered "Yes"at the firstprompt in this section.Activate the loop input by separating the device from magnet or press button that corresponds to this zone.Serial or Loop Numbers do not match after activating the transmitter. If a match is not obtained (i.e., summary display does not appear), press the [#] key twice and then enter (or transmit) the correct serialnumber.Summary Screen - Press [✱] to accept the zone information and continue82 - Alpha Descriptor - Use this menu mode to assign descriptors to zonesProgram Alpha ? Press 1 to continue.Custom Words ? Press 0 to program standard alpha descriptors from the fixed vocabulary. The system will then automatically display the descriptor for zone 1.Note: this is a "Summary mode,"and that no entries can be made. Entries can be made only when the display contains a flashing cursor, which signifies the "Entry mode."Press [∗] to continueenter [✱] plus the next zone number for which you wish to enter (or check) a descriptor. A summary display for that zone will appear. You must then press [✱] plus the same zone number again to gain access to the entry mode (flashing cursor) for that zone.Press [#] plus the 3-digit number for the first word from the Alpha Vocabulary List.Note: If you accidentally enter the wrong word, simply press [#] plus the correct 3-digit number for the word you want. Press [6] to accept the selected word and continue to the next word.Enter the 3-digit number for the next word. Press [6] to accept the selected word and continue to the next word.Enter the 3-digit number for the third word. Press [6] to accept the selected word and continue to the next word.Example: The descriptor that we wish to enter for zone 99 is BACK DOOR. From the list, BACK = 013. You enter #013 then [6]. The next word is DOOR, whose number is "057.". Enter #057 then [6]. Press 8 to store the words in memory.Note: Always exit programming using *99

I bought this based on our alarm companies suggestion since this model works with our main panel. It’s been 3 years now and running with out any issue.

These work well and are extremely reliable. Will buy more as I expand my system.

The Honeywell Ademco touch system works great to install a detailed security system in your home. Have done three relatives homes thus far using these transmitters

Easy to install and looks good.

Great extended ranger over the 5811 and looks 10 times better than a 5816.

I had some problems during set up but got it taken care of. Works great and works seamlessly with the honeywell system.
