The Honeywell 5800PIR-RES is a wireless motion detector designed specifically for residential applications.

It’s notable as not only one of the most popular motion detectors from Honeywell, but also because of its pet immune features. It will not detect pets under 80 pounds when properly installed.

The benefits of this are numerous. Chief among them is that you can set your security system to “alarm stay” and not worry about false alarms while gone. This ensures your pets to move about freely without tripping the motion detector. Yet the motion detector will trip if someone enters your home.

Out comprehensive video tutorial explains how to program the Honeywell 5800PIR-RES, specifically with the 2GIG GC3 wireless security system.

The video shows you how to navigate to the GC3’s “Installer Tool Box” and access the correct settings. It slowly and clearly walks you through every step you must take to ensure that your new motion detectors function properly.

Note that the 2GIG GC3 is compatible with several other models of motion detectors, both from 2GIG or Honeywell as well as other manufacturers. We have separate tutorials explaining how to program these other motion detectors to the GC3.

Our video focuses on programming the 2GIG GC3 as soon as you buy the device. If it’s already been installed and you’re simply reprogramming, the steps you should follow will be slightly different.

To install for the first time, our video shows you how the motion detector powers up and how to perform a walk test after you’ve enrolled it with the GC3 security system. We have a separate video that breaks down the motion walk test in more detail.

Explanations of all the Honeywell 5800PIR-RES’s features are covered in our video. One specific feature to remember is “transmission lockout.”

Basically, this feature makes the device’s battery sleep after it’s been tripped. Once an alarm goes off, the battery sleeps for three minutes, and then is live again. Not only does this save battery but it also prevents false alarms when paired with “transmission delay.”

The most important settings are also covered in our video. It shows you how to program the 2GIG GC3 for different interior zone types and different alarm types (including silent or audible).

Perhaps the most important setting the video covers is “motion disabled during arm stay.” This means that the motion detector is temporarily disabled when you set the 2GIG GC3 to arm stay, so that it won’t trip when you’re at home with the system armed at night.

Our video tutorial wraps up by showing you how to test that your Honeywell 5800PIR-RES has been properly programmed to your 2GIG GC3. Make sure to test the device to ensure the safety and security of your home.

That’s the value of programming the Honeywell 5800PIR-RES wireless pet-immune motion detector to the 2GIG GC3 wireless security system – it adds another layer of security to your home without sending false alarms due to pet activity.
