5800CO Carbon Monoxide Detector with Built-in Wireless Transmitter
Installation and Setup Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 5800CO is a 3V battery-powered wireless Carbon Monoxide (CO)
detector intended for use with wireless alarm systems that support
5800 series devices. Consult your control panel’s installation
instructions for compatibility.
Compatible Controls: This detector can be used with 5800 series
compatible controls (Listed to UL864 and/or UL985) that support a
carbon monoxide zone type and utilize a 5881 receiver.
The detector consists of an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor
assembly coupled to a wireless transmitter. The transmitter can send
alarm, trouble, end-of-life, tamper, and battery condition messages to
the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instructions for
the maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.
NOTICE: These instructions should be left with the owner/user of
this equipment.
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA 720 requirements.
WARNING: This product is not intended for use in industrial
factories or commercial parking garages.
DETECTOR DESCRIPTION
•Listed to UL standard 2075
CO sensitivity is evaluated to UL 2034
•Supervised
•Local sounder
•Dual LEDs
•Test/Hush button
•Functional Gas Test
•Surface mount to wall or ceiling
•Optional drywall anchors included
The 5800CO contains a piezoelectric horn which generates the ANSI
S3.41 temporal 4 pattern in an alarm condition (see note below Table 1
for a description of the temporal 4 pattern). In alarm, a message is
also sent to the control panel and the detector’s zone number is
displayed at the console. The alarm message is transmitted every 4
secs until the carbon monoxide condition has cleared and the detector
has reset. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s
Test/Hush button will silence the piezoelectric horn for 5 minutes.
Once the detector has reset, a RESTORE message is transmitted to
the control panel and the transmitter’s zone number can be cleared
from the panel.
The detector’s base accommodates a variety of methods for mounting.
Two LEDs and a sounder on the detector provide local visual and
audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table 1.
During initial power-up, the red and green LEDs will blink together
once every 10 secs four times. It takes about 30 secs for the detector’s
CO sensor to stabilize (see Table 1).
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning
normally, the green LED blinks once every 10 secs. The LED
indication must not be used in place of the tests specified under
TESTING THE DETECTOR.

† Temporal 4 pattern is a repeated series of 4 short beeps followed by
a 5 sec pause. If ambient conditions return to normal, the CO
detector will switch from Alarm mode to its previous mode.
†† Red and green LEDs blink a total of 4 times, once every 10 secs.
Hush feature: If necessary, the audible alarm can be silenced for 5
minutes by pushing the Test/Hush button. The red alarm light will
continue to flash in temporal 4 pattern. If carbon monoxide is still
present after the 5-minute hush period, the audible alarm will sound.
The Hush feature will not operate at levels above 350 ppm (parts per
million) carbon monoxide.
Trouble feature: When the sensor supervision is in a trouble
condition, the detector will send a trouble signal to the panel. The red
LED blinks once every five secs. Trouble conditions include an open
circuit, sensor removal (tamper), and sensor end of life.
End of Life Timer feature: 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 must be replaced. This detector’s lifespan
is approximately six years from its date of manufacture. Refer to
Detector Replacement section of this manual.
Low Battery Detection: The 5800CO is powered by a single 3-volt
CR123A or DL123A Lithium battery (included). The detector checks
for a low battery at least every 65 minutes. If a low battery is detected,
the transmitter sends a low battery message to the control panel,
which beeps and displays the detector’s zone number. In addition, the
detector’s red LED will blink every 45 secs. After 7 days, the detector’s
horn will “chirp” about every 45 secs (red LED continues to blink) for
up to 30 days. Pressing the Test/Hush button during this time will
silence the chirps for 12 hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The
battery should be replaced BEFORE the chirps begin. Be sure to
replace the battery with a fresh one.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS210
of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the
detector counterclockwise. Remove the battery and dispose of
properly.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20
secs before installing new battery.
3. Install a new 3-volt CR123A or DL123A Lithium battery in the
battery compartment. NOTE: Follow the polarity diagram inside
the battery compartment.
4. Reinstall the detector onto its mounting base by turning the
detector clockwise.
5. Test the detector as described in the TESTING SIGNAL
STRENGTH section of this manual. The green LED should blink
about once every 10 secs to indicate normal operation. If the
battery is not installed correctly, the detector will not operate and
the battery may be damaged. If the detector does not appear to be
sending a signal during any of the tests, check for correct battery
installation and for a fully charged battery.

See the control unit’s installation instructions for more details.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
First, determine the best location for the detector, one that provides
proper carbon monoxide detection (see Figure 4 for suggested
detector locations) and a strong wireless transmission path.
Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location
In a wall location, the detector should be at least as high as a light
switch, and at least 6 inches from the ceiling. In a ceiling location,
the detector should be at least 12 inches from any wall.
Where to install, ideally:
• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas
• Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance
• On every floor of the building
• Ideally, install in any room that contains a fuel burning appliance
• If the appliance in the room is not normally used, such as the
boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so
the alarm can be heard more easily
Where NOT to install, ideally:
• Detectors operate best when installed 10 feet or further from any
cooking appliance
• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e.
extractor fan or air vent
• Outside
• Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the
detector’s environmental specifications
• In or below a cupboard
• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
• Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH
A GOOD TRANSMISSION PATH MUST BE ESTABLISHED FROM
THE PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION BEFORE
PERMANENTLY INSTALLING THE DETECTOR. To check,
perform the test described in the TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH
section. Prior to mounting the detector to the mounting base, you
must “enroll” the detector’s serial number into the system (see the
PROGRAMMING section).
Mounting Procedure
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the
ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw
locations “A” or “B” as required. Use the two screws and anchors
provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the
screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as
shown (detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from
mounting base tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a
clockwise direction until it clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in
the TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual). Refer
to the control system’s instructions for additional information
concerning the use of wireless devices.

Figure 3. Mount Detector Across Ceiling Panel Support
DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling panels. Attach
the detector across panel support as shown in Figure 3.
CAUTION
Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Honeywell
recommends the removal of detectors before beginning construction
or any other dust-producing activity. Carbon monoxide detectors are
not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been
evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Figure 4. Detector Location Diagram
TAMPER PROTECTION
This detector has a built-in tamper switch that will cause a CHECK
signal to be displayed at the console of the alarm system if it is
removed from its mounting base while the system is disarmed (alarm
occurs if system is armed). The 5800CO detector includes a tamper-
resistant feature that prevents removal from the mounting base
without the use of a tool. To engage the tamper-resistant feature, cut
the small plastic tab located on the mounting base (Figure 2), and
then install the detector. To remove the detector from the base once
it has been made tamper resistant, use a small screwdriver to
depress the square tamper release tab, located on the skirt of the
mounting base, and turn the detector counterclockwise.
FUNCTIONALLY TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: The 5800CO detector must be tested after installation. The
5800CO’s features include a Functional Gas Test mode which can be
used to verify the detector’s ability to sense carbon monoxide gas. To
perform the functional gas test, follow these steps:
1. With a small screwdriver, depress and hold the recessed
Test/Hush switch for approximately 2 secs. The detector will
temporarily sound in alarm and the red LED will illuminate.
2. Within a few secs, the green LED will start to blink rapidly,
indicating the detector is in functional test mode. At this time,
the unit is waiting for the user to dispense the test CO sample.
3. Spray a very small amount of Solo™C6 canned CO toward the
3 gas entry ports located at the center of the detector’s front face
(seen at left in Figure 5). Solo™C6 is available through many
security equipment vendors.
4. Upon successful gas entry and if functioning properly, the
detector will begin sounding in a temporal 4 pattern and the red
LED will blink. An alarm signal is sent to the panel, providing
verification of the alarm signal.
5. The alarm condition at the detector will stop after 20 - 60 secs,
or when the CO gas has cleared.
6. If gas entry is unsuccessful, the test will automatically end after
27 secs.

TESTING SIGNAL STRENGTH
NOTE: Remove battery tab before installation.
This test should be performed before installation to determine a
strong communication path with the control panel. The test should
be repeated after installation is complete. Also, the owner/user
should test the unit’s signal strength at least weekly.
1. Activate the wireless system’s GO/NO GO TEST mode from the
keypad (refer to the control panel’s instruction manual).
2. Depress and hold the detector’s TEST/HUSH button. If the
detector has not previously sensed a low battery condition and is
operating within proper sensitivity limits, it should immediately
transmit an alarm signal to the control panel. The built-in horn
will start to sound about 2.5 secs after pressing the button.
3. The wireless system’s keypad should emit at least 3 tones when
the alarm transmission is received and will display the
transmitting detector’s zone number.
4. When the control panel has received the test signal, release the
TEST/HUSH button. The horn will stop and a few seconds later
the detector’s zone number will clear from the console display.
5. If the console does not respond as described above:
a. Make sure the battery is installed with the correct polarity.
b. Make the battery is fresh.
If this is an initial installation, try moving the detector to
another location that provides proper reception. Also be sure
that the detector has been “enrolled” by the control panel (see
PROGRAMMING). Then, repeat the signal strength test.
6. Turn off the system’s TEST mode from the keypad (security code
+ OFF).
TESTING PROGRAMMED LOOPS
This test should be performed before installation to ensure that the
detector has been programmed and is operational in the system.
1. Activate the system’s TRANSMITTER ID SNIFFER mode from
the keypad (see the control panel’s instruction manual). All
programmed wireless zones will be displayed, one by one, on the
system keypad. Make sure the detector zone is displayed in the
sequence. (If not, recheck that the detector zone has been
properly programmed.)
2. With the detector mounted to the mounting base, press the
detector’s TEST/HUSH button. The zone associated with the
detector should disappear from the keypad on the next display
cycle. This means that the system has received a transmission
from the detector zone you have programmed.
3. When testing is complete, enter the Installer code + the OFF
key to exit TEST mode.
When all system testing has been completed, notify the central
monitoring station that the system is back on line.

CAUTION: CARBON MONOXIDE GAS AND ITS DETECTION
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not
expose it to rain or moisture. Do not drop the detector or subject it to
other physical shock. Do not open or tamper with the detector as this
may cause it to malfunction. The detector will not protect against the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly installed.
NOTE: The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas in the vicinity of the detector itself. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
THIS CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IS NOT:
•Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon
monoxide
•A substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliances or
the sweeping of chimneys
•To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for the
spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances or
chimneys
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released
when fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore
impossible to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions
in a room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the
room by such appliances should not be dangerous.
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING: Carbon
monoxide bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood and reduces the
amount of oxygen being circulated in the body. The following
symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be
discussed with all members of the household:
•Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as “flu-like” symptoms).
•Medium exposure: Sever throbbing headache, drowsiness,
confusion, fast heart rate.
•Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio
respiratory failure, death.
Many causes of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that
while victims are aware that they are not well, they become so
disoriented that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting
the building or calling for assistance.
Also, young children and pets may be the first to be affected.
WARNING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or death.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30ppm.
What to do if the carbon monoxide detector goes into alarm:
1. Push the Hush/Test button. If the detector reactivates or the
detector does not silence, continue with Step 2.
2. Immediately move to fresh air, outdoors or by an open window.
Check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until
emergency service responders have arrived.
3. Call your local fire department from a phone in an area where the
air is safe.
4. If your detector reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps
1 - 3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate
possible sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and
appliances, and check for proper operation of this equipment. If
problems are identified during this inspection, have the
equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment
not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s
instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more
information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that
motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an
attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
IMPORTANT: This detector should be tested and maintained
regularly following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720
requirements. (Generally, this detector should be fully tested at least
once per month.)
MAINTENANCE
Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the
holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust.
Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or polish
on the detector.
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT
This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide
sensor. Over time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be
replaced with a new carbon monoxide detector. This detector’s
lifespan is approximately six years from the date of manufacture.
The user should periodically check the detector’s replacement date.
Remove the detector from its base and check the replacement date
label on the underside of the detector. The label indicates the date
that the detector should be replaced.
NOTE: When the detector is removed from its base, a message is sent
to the central station. If the system is armed, a tamper alarm
message is sent; if disarmed, a trouble message is sent.
The detector will also indicate a trouble condition when it has
reached the end of its useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace
the detector.
NOTE: Before replacing the detector, notify your central station that
maintenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily
out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to
prevent any unwanted alarms. Dispose of detector in accordance with
any local regulations.
CAUTION
It should be noted that installation, operation, testing and
maintenance of the 5800CO is different than smoke detectors. Per
NFPA 720 section 5.3.7.2 the detector shall not be connected to a zone
that signals a fire condition (i.e. smoke detector zones). Therefore, the
5800CO detector must be programmed as a non-fire zone. See the
control panel’s Installation Instructions for the appropriate carbon
monoxide zone type to be programmed.
