FAQs
Why does my zone show trouble?
Most common: low battery, tamper open, out of range, or wrong sensor type for the panel receiver (5800 Series vs SiX wireless).
How do I replace a sensor?
Delete old zone in installer programming, enroll replacement using Learn mode, and test walk test at final location.
Will Total Connect 2.0 show this device?
When the panel has active interactive service, enrolled zones appear in the Total Connect 2.0 app with status matching the panel.

How do I test after installation?
Use panel walk test, zone status, and (if monitored) central station test per dealer procedure.
Can I mix 5800 and SiX sensors?
SiX sensors require ProSeries or Lyric; 5800 needs a 5800 receiver transceiver hardware — they do not enroll on the standard 345 MHz receiver alone.
