Sensor is weather resistant
In the Feb. 19 2009 SP&T e-news incorrect information appeared regarding Honeywell's new wireless outdoor motion detector, the 5800PIR-OD. The detector has a range adjustable to 12 metres and animal immunity, and requires that two passive infrared sensors be tripped before triggering the alarm.
