5881ENH - Ademco Wireless Receiver

I received this receiver in August and was staging it for an install that was waiting on construction to be completed. When I went to install it, it wouldn’t power up. Dead out of the box. I removed the circuit board from the case and observed the circuit board had corrosion and stickers that appeared to be worn and used. Now that I can’t return the product after Sep 27th, I basically purchased “BAD” faulty used equipment and wasted my money. I should have purchased the product from the appropriate Honeywell distrivution channels. In this case, trying to save a few extra bucks costs me a lot more than purchasing from Honeywell distribution channels.

I got this to replace an 8 channel Ademco Tx/Rx of the same type. This was a simple install, basically a plug and play with no issues whatsoever. Of course, the channels had to be adjusted, but once that was done, this works like a charm. I have no facts, but this SEEMS to have a bit longer range as I can use my key fob further from the house than I could with the older unit. Again, I did not measure it, it just seems to have greater spread of the signal.

good peoduct

Only way to get coverage of items that you cant hardwire. One of the best wireless security products on the market - Thanks Honeywell!

We are an alarm installer. We purchase this wireless receiver from our supplier normally, but this was half the price online for the same product. Will continue buying.

Everything went as expected!

Works perfectly

Basically Plug and play

Purchased this, expecting to receive one like the photo. But when I received it, it didnt include the 2 antennas in it. Not sure why I would buy a tx/rx that didnt have antenna for it.

This neat little wireless receiver was a no-nonsense DIY addition to my DIY Honeywell Vista 20 home alarm system, so that I could add wireless smoke alarms to my system--crucial for Homeowners Insurance discount!
