LyncTouch is a combination touch-screen and keypad controller that can be installed before or after you
have the rest of your system set up and controllable via the HTD Lync app.
Getting started with LyncTouch when you are already controlling the system via the HTD Lync app:
1. Power off all zones. This is most easily accomplished from a single button on the app.
2. Power off the amplifier(s). If your system was installed using the recommended Trigger feature,
step 1. should also put your multi-channel amplifier(s) into stand-by mode. If instead, your amplifier(s)
is set to always be powered on, then you will need to power off each amplifier using the button on
the front. It is not necessary to press the power button on the front of the amplifier if it is already in
stand-by mode.
3. Power off your central Lync controller (model Lync 6 or Lync 12) using the power button on the front.
4. Install each LyncTouch following the directions below on page 2.
5. After all LyncTouch have been installed, power on the Lync controller by pressing the button on the
front. It is at this point that the Lync controller searches for connected devices. Devices are only
recognized by the system when the Lync controller is first powered on. If your amplifier(s) was left
powered on and in stand-by mode that is all you need to do. If the power button on the front of your
amplifier was previously turned off (out position), then press it back in.
Using LyncTouch with a Lync system that is being set up for the first time:
1. Follow the instructions provided with your system to connect cables between the central Lync
controller and amplifier(s) and between the amplifier(s) and your speakers.
2. Make sure the amplifier(s) and Lync Controller are powered off using the button on the front. It is
not necessary to press the power button on the front of the amplifier if it is already in stand-by mode.
3. Install each LyncTouch following the directions below on page 2.
4. After all LyncTouch have been installed, power on the Lync controller by pressing the button on the
front. It is at this point that the Lync controller searches for connected devices. Devices are only
recognized by the system when the Lync controller is first powered on. Similarly press the button on
the front of each amplifier to turn it on.
Overview of how to install a LyncTouch:
We have made installing LyncTouch super easy with our patent-pending design. The enclosure on
the backside of the LyncTouch has been matched in size to a custom-made metal ring that you install
into a flat surface, typically a wall. Once installed, you simply plug the Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable (already
terminated with an RJ45 connector) into either of the RJ45 ports on the back of the LyncTouch and push
the LyncTouch in until it is flush with the wall. Strong, neodymium magnets mounted to either side of the
LyncTouch enclosure adhere to the metal ring and keep it in place.
