Easily configure the Honeywell 5080 wireless heat detector to work alongside the 2GIG CG3 wireless security system by going to the “Installer Tool Box” and following the steps laid out in our video.

The Honeywell 5080 detects heat at the fixed temperature of 135° F. It’s not a smoke detector and does not detect smoke, only heat. It provides fire protection to a 50’ x 50’ area.

The wireless heat detector works best in kitchens where smoke isn’t necessarily a cause for alarm. Since it doesn’t detect smoke, the number of false alarms caused by cooking are greatly reduced. Real emergencies caused by fire are still identified since it detects heat over 135° F.

There are two main alarm settings for the Honeywell 5089. You can change these at any time from the 2GIG GC3 touchscreen.

First is “24-Hour Fire” which is a single-trip alarm. The device triggers an alarm soon as 135° F heat is detected.

The second setting is “Fire with Verification.” The device must trip twice before triggering the alarm in this setting. This is best for busy kitchens where false alarms are common.

Our video walkthrough shows you how to select either of these settings. It also shows you exactly how to enroll the heat detector to the security system. Both available options are explored: auto enrollment and manual enrollment.

The process of setting a voice descriptor for your heat detector is easy by following the steps laid out in the video. This will ensure that the touchscreen clearly enunciates the name and location of the device when needed.

After enrolling your heat detector to your security system, you can rest assured the two are always connected by keeping the “Sensors Supervised” setting on.

“Sensors Supervised” guarantees you’ll be alerted in the event that the signal stops transmitting between the two devices. The supervision ensures the alarm always stays online to best protect your home.

Testing that the devices are connected is simple. Our video shows you how to use the “RF Test” key to confirm the heat detector is properly paired with the security system.

The Honeywell 5089 must be mounted at least 4 inches from the ceiling for wall mounting. Or it must be mounted at least 4 inches from any wall for ceiling mounting. It should not be mounted near any appliances that generate heat such as ovens, stoves, or heat vents.

Remember that this heat detector is a one-time use device. Once it detects temperatures of 135° F or greater, it must be replaced. It’s important to use the “RF Test” key for testing rather than real heat for this reason.

That’s the value of pairing the Honeywell 5089 wireless heat detector with the 2GIG GC3 wireless security system – it identifies fire emergencies by detecting heat while limiting false alarms caused solely by smoke.
