System Overview; Features You Can Design Into Your System - Honeywell LYNX Touch 7000 Owner's Manual

A typical system includes a control panel located in a closet or utility room, one or
more user keypads located in a hallway, bedroom, or an entry way, and various
sensors distributed at perimeter openings and key locations within the house. The
system is operated from the user keypad. The security sensors detect, alert, and
report abnormal conditions. The control panel synchronizes the functions of the
various devices.
Your system installation has been specifically designed to meet your security
requirements. A basic system can be further enhanced by increasing the extent of
protection (number of sensors) and the number of user keypad operating locations.
Each system is unique depending on the options you purchased. Your options can
include:
• Smoke and/or heat detectors to detect a fire outbreak.
• Remote point expander modules to add security capacity while simplifying the wiring.
• Wireless keys on your key chain that allow you to operate your system with the
simple push of a button.
• Emergency buttons to summon:
— Fire assistance.
— Police assistance.
— Special emergency aid such as medical assistance.
• Additional passcodes that let you grant use of your system to family members,
guests, and help without divulging your master code. Up to ten different codes can
be assigned; they can have temporary (one time) or unrestricted use. They can be
assigned varying authority so the users can have limited access to available
features of your system.
• Two partial arming features: force arming and bypassing let you selectively leave
some protected points disarmed while arming the rest of your system.
• Internal and external audible devices to alert and evacuate the inhabitants and
attract the attention of neighbors in the event of an emergency. The exterior audible
is briefly delayed to allow valid passcode holders to disarm the system in the event
of an inadvertent alarm.
• Special protection is available to separately safeguard important areas and objects
such as the intellectual property and valuable equipment in the home office, safe,
workshop, liquor cabinet, gun rack, etc.
• Pool protection is available that annunciates throughout the home that someone
has entered the pool area. It rings the exterior audible to attract the attention of
neighbors when you are away.
• System outputs can be used to operate remote displays and security-related
lighting.
• The Latch Key feature is available that tells the system to call your pager and let
you know that a specific person has disarmed your system.
• A Telephone Access feature may be added that will allow you to arm and disarm
the system from any touch tone telephone.
• The system can automatically operate lights when you enter and leave, on alarm
and randomly while you are away.
