Honeywell SC113 Commercial Security Mobile Computer
Overview
The Honeywell SC113 is a wired commercial security mobile computer designed for fixed wall-mount deployment in commercial environments. It connects exclusively via wired Ethernet — there is no Wi-Fi or wireless radio — making it suited for installations where a stable, deterministic network connection is a hard requirement. At 0.5 lbs and finished in RAL7035 light gray, the SC113 is a compact, low-profile unit that integrates cleanly into commercial interior environments without drawing attention.
Key Features
- IP43 Environmental Rating: Rated IP43 means the SC113 resists solid objects greater than 1mm and water spray up to 60° from vertical — adequate for climate-controlled commercial interiors but not suitable for outdoor or wash-down environments. Size your enclosure accordingly if the install point is near HVAC vents or exposed corridors.
- Wired Ethernet Interface Only: No wireless connectivity means zero RF interference concerns and a predictable, auditable network path — a real advantage in secure facilities where wireless device proliferation is a compliance issue.
- Wide Storage Temperature Range: Rated for storage from -58°F to 158°F (-50°C to 70°C), so units can be warehoused or staged in unconditioned spaces without risk of damage before commissioning.
- Wall-Mount Form Factor: Designed for fixed wall installation, keeping cabling managed and the unit accessible for maintenance without specialty mounting hardware.
- RAL7035 Light Gray Finish: Standard commercial-gray finish blends with typical office and facility interiors — no custom painting needed for most commercial deployments.
Integration and Compatibility
The SC113 is part of the Honeywell SC-series platform and is designed to operate alongside compatible SC-series modules including the SC110, SC115, SC116, and SC117 — allowing system expansion without replacing the core unit. Connectivity is via wired Ethernet, so integration into standard IP network infrastructure is straightforward. Consult Honeywell's Honeywell commercial security line documentation to confirm protocol and software compatibility before deployment. For broader context on access control and security controllers, review the category for compatible peripheral options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SC113 support wireless connectivity?
A: No. The SC113 is wired-only, connecting via Ethernet. There is no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other wireless radio built in.
Q: What is the IP rating of the SC113?
A: The SC113 carries an IP43 rating, providing protection against solid objects larger than 1mm and limited water spray. It is not rated for outdoor or wash-down use.
Q: What other modules are compatible with the SC113?
A: The SC113 is designed to work with SC-series modules including the SC110, SC115, SC116, and SC117 for system expansion.
Q: What is the operating temperature range for the SC113?
A: Storage temperature is rated from -58°F to 158°F. Verify operating temperature range in the Honeywell product documentation before deploying in thermally challenging environments.
Q: How is the SC113 mounted?
A: The SC113 is designed for wall mounting in fixed commercial installations.
The SC113's IP43 rating is the spec I'd flag first for any integrator scoping this unit. IP43 is adequate for a clean commercial interior — think reception desks, server closets, or controlled access corridors — but it draws a hard line at anything exposed to weather, cleaning spray, or high-humidity mechanical rooms. Know your install environment before the SC113 goes on the wall.
Technical Highlights:
- Wired Ethernet Only: No wireless radio eliminates an entire class of RF interference and unauthorized network access concerns — straightforward to audit and document for security compliance in commercial facilities.
- IP43 Rating: Sufficient for climate-controlled interiors; not a substitute for an IP65+ rated enclosure if the mounting point is near external doors or washable surfaces.
- SC-Series Expansion: The SC110, SC115, SC116, and SC117 modules allow the platform to grow with the installation — the SC113 functions as a core unit rather than a standalone endpoint, which changes how you scope the initial bill of materials.
Deployment Considerations:
- Because the SC113 is wired-only, confirm Ethernet home-run distances and switch port availability at the mounting location before finalizing the cable plan — there is no fallback to wireless if the run is too long or a port is unavailable.
- Storage temperature tolerance down to -58°F is useful for pre-staged inventory, but do not conflate storage rating with operating rating — verify the operating range in Honeywell's current documentation before deploying in any environment that sees temperature extremes during normal operation.
The SC113 is the right fit for a controlled commercial interior where wired-only network policy is enforced, the SC-series expansion modules are already in the bill of materials, and the mounting location stays dry and climate-controlled year-round.
