How to Install the MINI-345 on VISTA 20P, PROA7 & 2GIG EDGE

How to Install the MINI-345 on VISTA 20P, PROA7 & 2GIG EDGE

MINI-345 Install: VISTA 20P, PROA7 & 2GIG EDGE

If you're replacing a Honeywell 5800MINI or 5816 door/window sensor, the Versa Wireless MINI-345 installs on any panel that accepts 5800-series sensors — same 345 MHz frequency, same loop number, no hardware changes needed. This guide covers the exact enrollment steps for the three most common 345 MHz panels: the Honeywell VISTA 20P, the Resideo PROA7/PROA7PLUS, and the 2GIG EDGE.

Before You Start Locate the 7-digit serial number printed on the label inside the MINI-345 sensor cover. You'll need it for all three panels. On all panels, use Loop 1 for the door/window contact input.
PANEL 01

Honeywell VISTA 20P

What You Need

  • VISTA 20P with a compatible 5800-series RF receiver installed (5881ENH, 5883H, 6160RF, or similar)
  • Installer code (factory default: 4112)
  • MINI-345 7-digit serial number (from label inside sensor cover)
  • Alpha keypad (6160 or similar) for entering zone descriptors

About Wireless Zones on the VISTA 20P

The VISTA 20P supports up to 40 wireless transmitter zones (zones 9–48) through an external 5800-series receiver. Each sensor is identified by its unique 7-digit serial number and loop number. The MINI-345 magnetic contact uses Loop 1.

Programming uses *56 Zone Programming Mode (interactive, keypad-guided). The full data field reference is in the VISTA 20P Programming Guide, which is separate from the Installation Guide.

STEP 01

Enter Programming Mode

At the keypad, press your installer code followed by *56:

4112 *56

The keypad will display PROGRAM MODE and prompt you to enter a zone number.

STEP 02

Select the Zone Number

Enter a 2-digit zone number between 09 and 48 (wireless zone range on the VISTA 20P), then press [*]. Choose a zone that isn't already assigned to another sensor.

STEP 03

Set Input Type: Supervised RF

At the INPUT TYPE prompt, press [0] then [3] to select Supervised RF (3). Press [*] to advance. This tells the panel to expect a wireless transmitter and enables the serial number and loop fields.

STEP 04

Enter the Serial Number

Type the full 7-digit serial number from the MINI-345 label. Press [*]. Double-check this number — a single wrong digit means the panel won't recognize the sensor's transmissions.

STEP 05

Enter Loop Number 1

At the loop prompt, press [1], then [*]. Loop 1 is the magnetic contact input — the zone that triggers when the door or window opens.

STEP 06

Set Zone Type

Enter the appropriate 2-digit zone type for this sensor's location:

  • 04 — Entry/Exit 1 (primary entry door with entry delay)
  • 05 — Entry/Exit 2 (secondary door, longer delay)
  • 03 — Perimeter (instant alarm — windows, back doors)

Press [*].

STEP 07

Enter a Zone Descriptor (Optional)

On an alpha keypad, type a label for this zone (e.g., FRONT DOOR, GARAGE DR). This displays on the keypad during alerts. Press [*] to save.

STEP 08

Exit Programming Mode

Press *99 to exit *56 mode and return the panel to normal operation.

Verify Enrollment with RF Sniffer Mode

Confirm the sensor's serial number is enrolled and transmitting:

  1. From a partition-1 keypad, enter Installer Code + [#] + [3] (e.g., 4112 #3) to enter RF Sniffer mode.
  2. Open and close the door or window with the MINI-345 installed.
  3. Sniffer mode checks that each enrolled transmitter's serial number has been received; when the MINI-345 reports, its zone clears from the not-yet-seen list.
  4. Sniffer mode does not time out — exit by entering Installer Code + OFF (e.g., 4112 + OFF) to return to normal operation.
Pro Tip: Go/No Go Test Before mounting permanently, run a Go/No Go test to check RF signal margin at the intended location. From the partition being tested, enter Installer Code + [#] + [4] (e.g., 4112 #4). This mode reduces the receiver's gain, so if the panel still receives the MINI-345 when you trip it, you have enough signal strength to mount there. Exit with Installer Code + OFF.

PANEL 02

Resideo PROA7 / PROA7PLUS

What You Need

  • PROA7 or PROA7PLUS control panel
  • PROTAKEOVER wireless converter module — rotary switch set to 0 (5800); install the replacement wall mount with integrated antenna that ships with it
  • AlarmNet 360 account (AlarmNet 360 login)
  • MINI-345 7-digit serial number
  • Laptop, tablet, or phone with internet access
PROTAKEOVER Module Required for 345 MHz The PROA7/PROA7PLUS has a built-in PROSiX/SiX™ (2.4 GHz) receiver and antenna, but it does not receive 345 MHz 5800-series signals on its own. The PROTAKEOVER module adds that legacy reception — set its rotary switch to 0 (5800) for the MINI-345's 345 MHz Honeywell/5800 protocol, and install the replacement wall mount (with integrated antenna) that ships with the module. Your existing PROSiX/SiX sensors are not affected — they keep working, and the 5800-series sensors run alongside them on the same panel. The module handles one legacy protocol at a time (rotary-selected: 0 = 5800, 1 = 2GIG, 2 = DSC, 3 = ITI/Qolsys, 4 = Bosch).

About Programming on the PROA7

Unlike the VISTA 20P, the PROA7 has no local keypad programming mode for sensors. All zone configuration is done through AlarmNet 360 — Resideo's cloud-based programming portal — and syncs automatically with every change. The panel supports up to 250 total wireless zones (up to 127 of which can be PROSiX/SiX); the 5800-series sensors received through the PROTAKEOVER share that same zone pool.

STEP 01

Log into AlarmNet 360

On a laptop, tablet, or phone, go to AlarmNet 360 or open the AlarmNet 360 app. Open the customer's account.

STEP 02

Navigate to Zones / Sensors

From the account programming menu, select Devices or Zones, then choose an available zone slot.

STEP 03

Put the Panel Into Learn Mode

In AlarmNet 360, select Learn Mode for the zone you're programming. The panel is now listening for a new sensor's RF transmission.

STEP 04

Enroll the MINI-345

Open and close the door or window where the MINI-345 is installed. The panel receives the RF signal and captures the serial number automatically. Alternatively, enter the 7-digit serial number manually in the TXID field.

STEP 05

Configure Zone Settings

In AlarmNet 360, set the following for this zone:

  • Zone Type — Entry/Exit, Perimeter, etc.
  • Zone Name/Descriptor — e.g., Front Door
  • Supervision — enabled (default); the panel will expect check-ins every 70–90 minutes
STEP 06

Save — Sync Is Automatic

The PROA7 syncs programming changes automatically. No manual download is required. Confirm the sensor appears under Menu → Sensors on the PROA7 touchscreen or in AlarmNet 360 with a valid signal strength reading.


PANEL 03

2GIG EDGE

What You Need

  • 2GIG EDGE panel
  • Installer code (factory default: 1561)
  • MINI-345 7-digit serial number (TXID from label inside sensor cover)
No External Receiver Needed The 2GIG EDGE has a built-in 345 MHz receiver. No separate RF module is required — the MINI-345 works out of the box.

About Wireless Zone Programming on the 2GIG EDGE

The 2GIG EDGE uses a guided programming system accessed through the Installer Toolbox on the 7" touchscreen. Each wireless zone has its own set of parameters: equipment type, TXID (serial number), loop number, zone type, voice descriptor, and supervision settings.

STEP 01

Enter the Installer Toolbox

On the EDGE touchscreen, navigate to:
System Settings → Installer Toolbox → Enter Installer Code

STEP 02

Go to Panel Programming → Wireless Zones

From the Installer Toolbox, select Panel Programming, then Wireless Zones. Tap the zone slot you want to program.

STEP 03

Set Sensor / Equipment Type

Select the equipment type for the MINI-345. Choose Door/Window (DW) Contact from the sensor category list. Refer to the Sensor Equipment Type list in the EDGE programming menu for the matching thin door/window contact entry.

STEP 04

Enter the TXID (Serial Number)

Tap the TXID field and enter the 7-digit serial number from the MINI-345 label.

Or use Auto-Learn / Shadow Learn: Select Learn, then open and close the door or window. The panel captures the sensor's TXID automatically from the RF transmission.

STEP 05

Set Loop Number to 1

Select Loop 1. This is the magnetic contact input on the MINI-345 — the loop that activates when the door or window opens.

STEP 06

Set Zone Type

Choose the zone response type based on this sensor's location:

  • Entry/Exit 1 — front door (entry delay active)
  • Entry/Exit 2 — secondary door (longer entry delay)
  • Perimeter — windows, back doors (instant alarm)
STEP 07

Set Voice Descriptor

Choose a name from the EDGE's vocabulary list (e.g., Front Door, Garage Door). The panel announces this name during alarms and chime events.

STEP 08

Confirm Reports and Supervision

Leave Sensor Reports and Sensor Supervised enabled (default settings). The panel will check in with the sensor periodically and flag a trouble condition if supervision signals are missed.

STEP 09

Test and Save

From the Installer Toolbox, run a Sensor Test (walk test). Open and close the door or window — the panel should display the zone name and register the event. Verify signal strength before permanently mounting the sensor. The EDGE saves changes when you exit programming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What loop number do I use for the MINI-345?

Use Loop 1 on all three panels. Loop 1 is the magnetic contact input — the zone that activates when the door or window opens.

Can I swap in a MINI-345 without re-programming the panel?

No. Every sensor has a unique serial number (TXID), so you'll need to delete the old 5800MINI from the panel and enroll the MINI-345 with its new serial number. The zone number, zone type, and descriptor can stay the same — only the TXID changes. See our 5800MINI replacement guide for a broader look at swapping 5800-series sensors.

Does the PROA7 work with 345 MHz sensors like the MINI-345?

Not on its own — the PROA7/PROA7PLUS natively uses PROSiX/SiX (2.4 GHz). Add the PROTAKEOVER module (rotary switch set to 0 for the 5800 protocol) to receive the MINI-345's 345 MHz signal. The module adds legacy 319.5/345/433 MHz reception without disabling the built-in PROSiX/SiX receiver, so your existing PROSiX sensors keep working — the panel supports up to 250 total wireless zones.

Where is the serial number on the MINI-345?

Open the sensor cover — the 7-digit serial number is printed on a label inside the housing. It may also appear on the outside of the packaging box.
