MELVILLE, NY, August 10, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the
release of the 5800CO Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector. The newest member of
Honeywell’s popular 5800 Series family of wireless devices gives dealers the
ability to help protect their customers against the deadly threat of carbon
monoxide with a system-monitored detector. The detector can be easily added to
each installation—increasing sales and the potential for greater recurring RMR.
The 5800CO provides several benefits not found in non-monitored detectors. It
connects directly to the end-user’s security system and can be monitored 24
hours a day, seven days a week—providing an added level of protection and peace
of mind. Electrochemical sensing technology measures carbon monoxide levels over
time—taking readings from low levels that may be hazardous over long periods to
concentrations that present an immediate danger.
The 5800CO is designed to sound a warning alarm well before the carbon
monoxide reaches fatal levels—giving the occupants time to safely evacuate the
premises. Should concentrations hit dangerous levels, the end-user will be
notified by the detector, control panel and monitoring station.
A built-in piezoelectric sounder will also alert the end-user to conditions
such as low-battery, detector trouble and end-of-life.
Since there are no unsightly holes to drill or wires to run, the wireless
design preserves the appearance of the home or building while protecting its
occupants. It is an ideal carbon monoxide detector for difficult-to-wire
locations, applications where aesthetics are critical or where hazardous
materials exist.
The 5800CO is listed to UL standard 2075, with CO sensitivity evaluated to UL
2034.
