Overview

SiX Series two-way encrypted sensor — ProSeries/Lyric wireless family with supervision, tamper, and encrypted RF (SiXCT, SiXPIR, SiXGB, SiXFOB, etc.).

On Honeywell systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.

  • Range — 5800RP repeater or move 5881EN/6160RF receiver path for distant zones.
  • Battery type — use listed cell; replace all batteries in multi-cell devices.
  • Tamper — cover fully closed before declaring hardware fault.

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.

Where is official documentation?

Primary reference: SiX sensor installation guide

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.
