5881ENH - Ademco Wireless Receiver

Purchased this, expecting to receive one like the photo. But when I received it, it didnt include the 2 antennas in it. Not sure why I would buy a tx/rx that didnt have antenna for it.

I upgraded from the 5881ENL because I needed a 9th zone for adding another CO detector. I was hoping the upgrade would not require me to re-program my existing 8 wireless zones, and in fact I found that the former programming carried over completely and the only programming needed was to add the new zone. So that means all configuration data for the wireless zones is saved in memory on the Vista-20P and not in the 5881. As a result, the swap out took about 15 minutes.

worked great after learning how to program Ademco Security panels

Works great I have you can have up to the max wireless zones with it its very easy to install and you dont need to program anything

I got this to replace an 8 channel Ademco Tx/Rx of the same type. This was a simple install, basically a plug and play with no issues whatsoever. Of course, the channels had to be adjusted, but once that was done, this works like a charm. I have no facts, but this SEEMS to have a bit longer range as I can use my key fob further from the house than I could with the older unit. Again, I did not measure it, it just seems to have greater spread of the signal.

Works and fits well. Exactly as described.

This receiver was added to a vista 20P alarm control and it was easy to program and install. If you need one get the enh because it will allow you to use all of the wireless zones the panel is capable of. the enm and enl version of the receiver only let you do 16 and 8 wireless zones.

My installation required wireless fields. Im so happy we decided on this item.. Im cover outside around the pool area and front yard. Great range ! Nice price. Rapid shipping.

Good value, well-priced.

I received this receiver in August and was staging it for an install that was waiting on construction to be completed. When I went to install it, it wouldn’t power up. Dead out of the box. I removed the circuit board from the case and observed the circuit board had corrosion and stickers that appeared to be worn and used. Now that I can’t return the product after Sep 27th, I basically purchased “BAD” faulty used equipment and wasted my money. I should have purchased the product from the appropriate Honeywell distrivution channels. In this case, trying to save a few extra bucks costs me a lot more than purchasing from Honeywell distribution channels.
