System Overview; Features - Honeywell ADEMCO LYNXRIEN-EA User Manual

General Information
This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the
configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation,
various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or
combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have
been installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be
controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.
The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display
appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also
have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a
central alarm monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the
central station.
The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features
have been programmed for your system.
• STAY and AWAY arming modes: By using these modes you can protect either the perimeter only,
or the entire premises.
