Honeywell Home 5853 Wireless Glassbreak Detector
The Honeywell Home 5853 Wireless Glassbreak Detector is designed to help protect rooms with windows, glass doors, fixed glass panels, storefront glass, and other vulnerable glass entry points. This detector listens for the sound pattern of breaking glass and sends an alarm signal to a compatible alarm panel when glass break activity is detected.
The 5853 is commonly used in residential and light commercial alarm systems where glass break protection is needed in open areas, living rooms, offices, bedrooms, storefronts, and other spaces with exposed glass. When properly installed and programmed, it can provide an added layer of perimeter protection beyond standard door and window contacts.
Compatible Alarm Systems
The Honeywell Home 5853 is designed for compatible Honeywell Home and Resideo alarm panels that support 5800 Series wireless glassbreak detectors. Compatibility should always be confirmed before ordering, especially when adding this detector to an existing alarm system or replacing an older glassbreak sensor.
Designed for Glass Break Detection
This detector is designed to monitor for the sound of breaking glass before an intruder enters through a window or glass door. Instead of only detecting when a door or window opens, a glassbreak detector helps provide an added layer of protection for rooms with exposed glass.
25 ft Detection Range
The Honeywell Home 5853 can be mounted on a wall or ceiling within a 25 ft detection range from the protected glass. Proper placement is important so the detector has a clear listening path to the glass being protected and can respond properly during an alarm event.
Wall or Ceiling Mount Installation
The 5853 can be installed on a wall or ceiling depending on the room layout and coverage needs. This gives installers flexibility when protecting glass doors, windows, storefront areas, offices, living rooms, and other spaces with multiple glass surfaces.
LED Status Indicators
Built-in LED indicators help show test mode, alarm, and trouble conditions. These indicators are helpful during installation, testing, servicing, and troubleshooting to confirm proper detector operation and system response.

Important Compatibility Notice
Before purchasing, please confirm that your alarm panel supports Honeywell Home or Resideo 5800 Series wireless glassbreak detectors and is compatible with the Honeywell Home 5853.
This detector is not a universal glassbreak sensor. 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. Glassbreak detection performance depends on proper placement, room layout, glass type, mounting location, sensitivity settings, and system programming.
For best results, follow the manufacturer installation guidelines and test the detector after installation using approved testing methods.
