Honeywell 5800COV Carbon Monoxide Detector
The Honeywell 5800COV Carbon Monoxide Detector is a wireless life-safety sensor designed to help protect people and property from dangerous carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas, making a properly installed CO detector an important part of a complete alarm and safety system.
This detector is designed for compatible Honeywell Home and Resideo alarm systems that support 5800 Series wireless devices. When properly programmed into a supported alarm panel, the 5800COV can send carbon monoxide alarm signals and device status conditions to the system for notification, monitoring, and response.
Compatible Alarm Systems
The Honeywell 5800COV is designed for compatible Honeywell Home and Resideo alarm panels that support 5800 Series wireless carbon monoxide detectors. Compatibility should always be confirmed before ordering, especially when replacing an older CO detector or adding life-safety protection to an existing alarm system.
Carbon Monoxide Detection
This detector is designed to monitor for dangerous carbon monoxide levels inside the property. When CO is detected, the sensor can send a signal to the compatible alarm panel so the system can respond based on the programmed settings and monitoring service setup.
Electrochemical CO Sensing Technology
The 5800COV uses electrochemical sensing technology to measure carbon monoxide levels in the air. This helps provide early warning when CO is detected, giving occupants time to respond and helping the alarm system communicate the event when supported.
Wireless Installation
The wireless design makes the Honeywell 5800COV a practical option for adding carbon monoxide protection without running new alarm wiring. It can be installed in approved locations based on manufacturer instructions, property layout, and applicable safety guidelines.
System-Supervised Life-Safety Device
The 5800COV is designed as a system-supervised detector, helping the alarm panel monitor important device conditions such as alarm, trouble, tamper, and low battery status. This makes it a useful life-safety add-on for supported monitored alarm systems.

Important Compatibility Notice
Before purchasing, please confirm that your alarm panel supports Honeywell Home or Resideo 5800 Series wireless carbon monoxide detectors and is compatible with the Honeywell 5800COV.
This detector is not a universal carbon monoxide alarm. It is intended for compatible 5800 Series wireless alarm systems and may not work with 2GIG, Qolsys, DSC, PowerG, or other alarm systems unless the specific panel configuration supports this device.
Programming may require installer access to your alarm panel. Carbon monoxide reporting, trouble signals, tamper supervision, monitoring response, and notification features may vary based on panel model, firmware, service provider, and monitoring plan.
Carbon monoxide detectors must be installed, tested, and maintained according to the manufacturer instructions and applicable safety guidelines. For monitored CO dispatch, the detector must be properly programmed and connected to an active monitoring service that supports carbon monoxide alarm signals.
