Can I upgrade my hardwired Honeywell panel to wireless?

Yes, you can, by installing a new wireless receiver to your existing Honeywell alarm system.

Pick one of the two easy-to-follow options below:

1. All you need is a keypad with a built-in RF (radio frequency) module, such as the Honeywell 6160RF or Honeywell 6150RF. They allow for wireless capability, which makes it easy for users to communicate with any of Honeywell's wireless sensors. If you choose to install a keypad, the Honeywell 6160RF is a great option because it's designed to perform full system programming and can help your alarm panel reach its full capacity of wireless zones.

2. Install a wireless receiver, like the Honeywell 5881ENL, Honeywell 5881ENM or Honeywell 5883H. Each receiver supports a different number of wireless zones. Choosing an "unlimited" receiver, like the Honeywell 5881ENH, is a smart choice because it gives users the option to add more wireless sensors down the road.
