Ademco 5800WAVE Wireless Siren

I could not hear the indoor siren in my garage. I installed the 5800 WAVE in the garage and it works.Note that a receiver / transmitter (5883) that supports the 5800WAVE is required.

Pretty neat idea to have a "wireless" siren that will work with a "wireless" alarm system. The range on the unit is not very good. I was only able to get about 20' from the Lynx home base to get this to work. This was in an older block home and the construction should have yielded better results. I also had to put in a dedicated 110 volt outlet since I did not want it to "hog" an existing outlet. The siren is just like the similar looking interior one the Ademco has in their lineup and the loud high pitched warbling tone is the same.

Easy install. Works good. Saved me the $180 the alarm company wanted to do it !!!

It worked OK but I did notice that it is not as loud as the AC siren. The other issue I noticed it that the battery once charged, does not last very long. Thus the 4 stars rating. Could just be a bad battery. But, its great for adding a remote siren anywhere there is a 110 V plug and not have to run wires. It also has a tamper switch where it will set the siren off if it is unplugged for some reason. I placed it in my garage and it works fine. Works perfect with the Honeywell Lynx Touch and is easy to program right from the Lynx touch screen.

Very, very loud siren ..... if you are used to those tiny little x10 sirens, you need to know this is generations ahead .... the unit will cover the entire AC outlet ..... it is screwed in place for additional tamper security ... it has an on-board backup battery if it ripped away from the AC socket during an event .....To install you only need to open the back of the siren .... attach the battery lead to the PC board .... set the dip switches to your l7000 or 5200 house code .... replace the back cover, and plug it into AC ..... it will now react to any alarm event on you system .....Technically, you don't have to plug it into an AC outlet ..... you can plug it into an extension cord and place it any where you want ... I.e. conceal it behind a potted plant or what have you .....It's expensive, but you should have at least a couple for that 'surprise' factor to the intruder when the alarm is sounded ..... it's also an additional sounder when the smoke or carbon alarms sound .....//Carl

The product has good sound and works as expected. But, the backup battery it came with failed in 3 months. This is un-acceptable quality for the price you pay.

Easy to setup and configure. Reasonably loud. It is a bit on the big side so I hid it behind a chair.

I ordered this from Amazon Warehouse, so this is probably not a fair comparison for ordering it new. Please keep that in mind.Here are the problems I had:1. Security switch was not usable. The magnet appeared to be permanently attached to the switch. Do not know if this was from manufacturing or if someone else had done this to the unit since it was from a return.2. Unit would not pair with system. According to the programming guide this should have paired with my system but it never did. Again, do not know if that is a unit defect or not.3. Case was held together with only a single screw when there should have been 4.Potentially, this could be a great wireless addition, but not if there is not a tamper circuit and not if it does not pair. I returned the unit to Amazon Warefhouse and just hard wired in a bell.

Great product. Easy to set up and connect. Not as ear piercingly loud as I had hoped
