Zones

Your system's sensing devices have been assigned to various "zones." For example, the sensing device

on your entry/exit door may have been assigned to zone 01, sensing devices on windows in the master

bedroom to zone 02, and so on. These numbers appear on the display when an alarm or trouble

condition occurs.

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.

Lynx Plus Series is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup

U U U U L L L L

battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC OR LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.

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 by using

the NO DELAY key in combination with the desired arming key. 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 turn on ("arm") the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary

alarms. To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY).

Refer to the Arming the System section for detailed procedures and information.

Security Codes

At the time of installation, you were assigned 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 6 different security codes. Refer to the Security Codes section for procedures on adding

security codes to the system.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the

keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and

voice announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the siren

sounds again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed (CODE + OFF) 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
