SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Features
Fire Protection
The fire protection portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a fire
condition is detected. Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for important information concerning fire
protection, smoke detectors and planning emergency exit routes from the premises.
Carbon Monoxide
The carbon monoxide (CO) portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will sound an alarm if a
CO condition is detected. Refer to the Fire Alarm System section for more information.
Burglary Protection
Your system provides two modes of burglary protection: STAY and AWAY. STAY mode protects the perimeter
only, allowing you to freely move inside the premises. AWAY mode protects the entire system. Both modes
provide an entry delay time that allows you to reenter the premises without setting off an alarm. For additional
security, you can turn the entry delay off when arming the system. Refer to the Arming the System section. The
system also allows you to bypass selected zones before arming the system, if desired. Refer to the Bypassing
Protection Zones section. The system also provides a Chime mode, for alerting users to the opening of protected
doors and windows while the system is disarmed.
You must arm the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary alarms. Refer to the
Arming the System section for detailed procedures and information.
Security Codes
At the time of installation, you were asked to provide a personal 4-digit security or "Master User" code. You
must enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and when performing other system functions.
As an additional security feature, other users who do not need to know your code can be assigned up to 32
different security codes. Refer to the Security Codes section for procedures on adding security codes to the
system.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the LYNX Touch internal sounder will sound for about 15-seconds, and the touch screen
displays the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the internal sounder stops temporarily and voice
announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the internal sounder
sounds again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed or until alarm bell timeout occurs. If
your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarm
sounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayed indicating memory of
alarm. Refer to the Disarming the System section for information about clearing the memory of alarm display
If your system is equipped to report alarms over the internet via a WiFi Communications module, your router must
remain powered-on at all times. Ask your Installer about this feature for additional information
Two-Way Voice Feature
The control supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an individual at the premises.
This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an individual(s)
at the premises and allows the operator to gather information about the nature and location of the alarm that
may be helpful in responding to police or rescue departments.
