System Features The LYNX is a self-contained, wireless control/communicator that features easy installation and usage. Its built-in speaker provides voice annunciation of system status along with voice descriptors of each zone (if programmed). The following illustration highlights the main features of this system.
Desktop Mounting If desired, an optional mounting base (model LYNX-DM, purchased separately) allows the LYNX to be used on a desktop. 1. If used, bring all wiring through the bottom of the mounting base before making connections to the LYNX.
Requires the use of a PL513 Powerline Interface Module. AC TRANSFORMER PHONE LINES Use the supplied ADEMCO 1332 Use either the plug-in jacks or the 9VAC, 15VA Plug-in Transformer. screw terminals. EARTH GROUND See Earth Ground SOUNDERS paragraph.

Installing Wireless Zones General Information Zones: The control supports up to 24 wireless zones using 5800 Series transmitters, and up to 16 wireless buttons. Range: The built-in RF receiver can detect signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet. Transmitters: 5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be entered into the system using the 56 or 83 interactive mode, or input to the control via the downloader.
Page 10
Transmitter Battery Life Do not install batteries in wireless transmitters until ready to enter their serial numbers (described in the *83 Sequential Mode programming section). After entering a transmitter’s serial number, batteries need not be removed. • Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4–7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used.
5800 Series Transmitter Loop Numbers The following illustration shows the compatible transmitters and their associated input types and loop designations. Refer to this information when programming transmitters. LOOP LOOP LOOP (REED) (REED) LOOP 1 LOOP 1 (TERMINALS) (TERMINALS) LOOP ALTERNATE 5 8 1 6 5 8 1 6 M N (ALWAYS USE)
Mechanics of Programming General Programming Information Programming options are stored in nonremovable, electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEROM memory. You can program the system at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to the Control and then program the unit as desired. There are two programming modes: •...
Zone Response Type Definitions General Information During programming, you must assign a zone type to each zone, which defines the way in which the system responds to faults in that zone. Zone types are defined below. Program a zone with this zone type if the zone is not used. Type 00 Zone Not Used Type 01...
Page 14
Type 08 This zone type sends a report to the central station and provides an alarm sound at the keypad. (No bell output is provided and there is no keypad timeout.) This zone type is 24-hour usually assigned to a zone containing a button for use in personal emergencies, or to a Auxiliary Alarm zone containing monitoring devices such as water or temperature sensors, etc.
Data Field Descriptions Defaults (where applicable) are Indicated in Text. The following pages list all data fields in this Control (in numerical order). Use the blank programming form to record the data for this installation. Note that both keypad LEDs flash while in Programming mode. The Installer Code is used to enter the 4-digit Master Security Code.

The system will wait the time entered before sounding alarm upon Entry delay 01 * 35 entering if system is not disarmed. 00-99 = entry delay time in seconds. UL installations: must be set for a maximum of 20 seconds The system will wait the time entered before sounding alarm upon Entry delay 02 * 36...
An entry of "0" in the second box will eliminate the expanded message for that report. With ADEMCO Contact ID Reporting: Enter a digit in the first box to enable the zone to report. Use a different digit for each zone until you have used up available digits. If the number of zones exceeds the number of available digits, begin with digit 1 again.
SYSTEM STATUS REPORT CODES ( 59– If the system is armed and an entry/exit or interior zone is still open Exit error report code * 59 after the exit delay time has expired, an alarm will sound at the keypad See notes above and external sounder.

*56 Zone Programming Mode This is an interactive menu mode that is used to program zone numbers, zone types, alarm and report codes, and to identify the type of loop input device. This mode can also be used for entering 5800 Series transmitter serial numbers.
Page 22
While in Program mode, press 56 to enter Zone Programming Menu Mode. Refer to the zone assignment table for 56 on the separate programming form. The following explains the *56 prompts in detail. The left two columns identify the prompts and list the available entries for each.

*80 Device Programming Menu Mode Powerline Carrier devices (eg., X-10 brand devices) are programmable switches that can be used to perform many different functions. They can be used to turn lights on and off, control sounders, or for status indications. In this system, each device must be programmed as to how to act (ACTION), when to activate (START), and when to deactivate (STOP).
Page 25
The "STOP" programming determines when and under what conditions the device will be de- STOP activated. The following options are available: Upon Restore of a Zone List Restore Zone List: If a "ZONE LIST" is used as the “Stop” event, the device will de-activate when all the zones in that list restore from a previous fault, trouble, or alarm condition.
Page 26
The following explains these prompts in detail. The left two columns identify the prompts and list the available entries. The right-most column provides a further explanation of the entries. NOTE: Entry of a number other than one specified will give unpredictable results. Pressing 1 advances to the next prompt below.
*81 Zone List Menu Mode While in Program mode, press 81 to enter Zone List Menu Mode. This mode is used to program zone lists for output devices (programmed in 80 menu mode) or Chime-by-Zone in Zone List 3. NOTES: •...
*83 Sequential Mode By using this mode, you can add the serial number of a transmitter in a zone, but retain all other existing data that has been programmed for that zone. Note that the *83 Sequential mode requires that all zone information must first be entered using the *56 Zone Programming mode Certain button-type transmitters have more than one button (e.g., 5801).
*84 Assign Zone Voice Descriptors Use this mode to assign voice descriptors for each zone. These are the descriptors that are announced when the system announces any event involving a zone number. Each descriptor can consist of up to 3 words. Press *84 while in Programming mode.

Remote Programming/Control (Downloading) General Information The LYNX can be remotely programmed from an IBM-compatible Personal Computer (PC), a HAYES Modem, and ADEMCO's V-LINK® Software (as specified below). Downloading may only be performed if a technician is at the site. Multiple levels of security protect remote programming of the control against compromise by someone attempting to defeat the system.
System Operation Security Codes Installer Code The installer programs the 4-digit Installer Code initially as part of the programming procedure. The factory default Installer Code is 4-1-1-2, but may be changed in field The Installer Code is the only code that can enter Programming mode and also, in normal operation mode, is used to enter the Master Code, which allows access to the normal functions of the system.

Powerline Carrier Devices If Powerline Carrier Devices are used, two keypad entries available to the user are included. They can manually activate or deactivate the device(s) for starting or stopping some action, such as turning lights on or off, etc. These keypad entries are: Security Code* + [#] + [4] + Device # activates (starts) that device.
Testing the System Test Mode After installation is completed, the security system should be carefully tested, as follows. With the system in the disarmed state, check that all zones are intact. If the READY LED is not lit, press the [ ] key to display the faulted zone(s).
