SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Features
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 touch screen control for 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 or key fobs may have been installed to allow you to control
the system away from the touch screen control. The system may also be used as a speaker phone.
The system monitors protection zones and system status, displays appropriate information on the touch screen
display, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send
alarm or status messages over the phone lines or via the cellular/GSM network or the internet to a central
alarm monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE
Your key fob is similar to your keys or access card. If lost or stolen, another person can compromise your security system.
Immediately notify your Dealer/Installer of a lost or stolen key fob. The Dealer/Installer will then remove the key fob programming
from the security system.

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.
• Panic key functions: A designated key allow you to manually activate fire, medical emergency, or silent
police alarms. Refer to the Panic Keys section for detailed information.
• Follow me reminder announcements: Allows the panel to dial a number that you have specified, at a
programmed day/time and deliver a message programmed by your installer.
• Real-time clock: Touch screen displays current date and time. Refer to the Clock/Calendar section for
procedures for setting the time.
• Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief voice messages. Refer to the
Recording/Playback Messages section for procedures.
• Two-way voice: Allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct two-way conversations with
individuals on the premises
• Phone Control: Provides a remote interactive phone capability that permits access to the security system
from any off-site touch-tone telephone. Refer to the Remote Phone Control Feature section for detailed
information.
• Speaker Phone: The system is capable of operating as a speaker phone allowing hands free telephone
conversation. Refer to the Speaker Phone Feature section for detailed information.
• Security Codes: The system is capable of supporting an Installer code, Master user code and 30 additional
User codes including Guest and Duress codes. Refer to the User Access section for detailed information.
• Device activation: Allows you to send “Follow-Me” or e-mail messages, as a result of a system event such as
an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the Automation section for detailed information.
• Schedules feature: Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of program events (e.g.
alarm clock, reminder, and latch key). Refer to the Automation section for detailed information.
• Text Message center (Requires TotalConnect Service): The system allows you to send and receive text
messages.
• Web content (Requires TotalConnect Service): The system allows you to view and display web content
including Weather, News and Traffic reports.
• Video Camera Control: (Requires a WiFi communications device and a router) The system supports up to
20 video cameras and allows selection, control and viewing of video from a single camera.

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.

–5–

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
Important Note
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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Operation
LYNX Touch False Alarm Prevention Features
Many false alarms are caused by simple accidents, like forgetting to close a door when you leave. The LYNX Touch may
include several features that help prevent false alarms and some of these are optional or programmable. Although turning
off some of these features may provide additional security, it may also increase the chance of false alarms. Your installer can
help you decide whether to use the features or not. The following provides a brief explanation of the features included with
your security system that help prevent false alarms from occurring, and what you should do if such alarms occur.
• Exit/Entry Delays: Your security system has been programmed with delay times that allow you to exit the premises
after arming, and to disarm the system upon entry, before an alarm occurs. If you leave the premises too late when
exiting, or disarm too late when arriving home, it will cause a false alarm. If an alarm occurs, you should disarm the
system immediately, and wait for your monitoring company to call you.
• Exit Alarms: Leaving the premises and forgetting to close the door is a common cause of false alarms. The security
system will sound an alarm, and display “Exit Error”. The security system provides extra time for you to disarm the
system before dialing your monitoring company. Disarming the system immediately may prevent a call to your
monitoring company.
• Exit Time Restart-Exit Delay Restart/Reset: If you leave the premises and enter again before the exit delay has
expired, the system will restart the exit time giving you more time to leave. If there are less than 10 seconds left to exit,
the system will sound fast beeps, indicating an alarm will occur soon if you fail to exit or disarm immediately. If this
occurs, disarm the system and arm it again when you are ready to leave. The Exit Delay can also be restarted by pressing
the RESTART Icon.
• Auto Stay Feature: If you arm the system in the “AWAY” mode from the control’s keypad or an RF keypad but no one
exits, the alarm system will automatically change to the “STAY” mode. This will prevent you from tripping alarms by
remaining on premises. Disarm the system and arm away again when you are ready to leave.
• Alarm Reporting Delay: Your security system has a delay between the time a burglary alarm sounds, and the time the
monitoring company is called. This delay gives you time to disarm the security system before the alarm is reported to the
monitoring company. This delay is factory preset at 30 seconds, but may be increased or decreased by your installer.
• False Alarms: If a burglary or fire alarm condition occurs and the system has been disarmed, the keypad will display
“Alarm Cancelled”. If this was a false alarm, wait for the monitoring company to call you. They will verify your security
code or password and prevent them from calling emergency personnel to respond to a false alarm.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
About the Touch Screen Control
General
**IMPORTANT**
If the LYNX Touch is beeping rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has occurred during your absence
and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE from a
nearby safe location.
The touch screen icons and keys allow you to control all system functions. Additionally, the touch screen display
shows the zone and description of all system occurrences. When the speaker phone mode is active, a fullfunction telephone keypad is displayed on the touch screen.
The system also features a built-in sounder, which will sound during alarms and troubles and a built-in speaker
announces system status. Additionally, the system "beeps" during certain system functions, such as during
entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, and when depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press).
The voice announcement volume is adjustable. The “beeps” that sound in response to alarms always sound at
the maximum volume level however, the volume level for all other “beeps” (trouble, chime, exit/entry, etc) can
be adjusted.

SECURING THE PREMISES
System Status
General Information
Before arming your system, all protected doors, windows, and other protection zones must be closed or bypassed
(refer to the Bypassing Zones section).
Ready LED:

The Green (Ready) indicator on the control will be lit if the system is ready to be armed. If the
LED is blinking, the system is not ready to arm.

VOLUME LEVEL: The volume level of system announcements can be increased or decreased. Refer to the System
Adjustment section for the procedure.

System Can Be Armed
The Green Ready LED will be lit steadily once all protection zones have been closed or bypassed. Additionally,
“Ready to Arm” is displayed in a green band at the top of the touch screen. You may now arm the system.

SECURING THE PREMISES
Arming the System
Arming in Stay Mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but expect someone to use the entrance door later. Close all
protected perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green Ready indicator on the control should be lit if
the system is ready to be armed. When armed in STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected
door or window is opened, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter
through the designated entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the
entry delay period or an alarm will occur. If Quick Arm was programmed by the installer, you do not need to
enter the security code to arm the system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system,
however.
If your system’s Garage Door Zone has been programmed for burglary protection, the system can be armed
while the Garage Door is opened. A “Fault” will be displayed by the control but will clear once the door has been
closed. The Garage Door zone will be subsequently be monitored by the system.
The Guest Code and Installer Code cannot disarm the system unless it was used to arm the
system. In addition, if the system is armed by pressing via Quick-Arming, neither the Guest Code
nor Installer Code can disarm the system.

If an invalid User Code is entered or if a valid user code has not been entered within 10 seconds, the system
will return to the “home” screen and it will not be armed.

Auto Stay Arming Feature
If this feature is enabled by installer, the LYNX Touch, when armed AWAY from the control’s keypad or a Wireless Keypad,
automatically switches to the STAY mode if the Exit Time expires and no exit has been made. Exit must be made through
an Entry/Exit Zone (door). If exit is made through a Garage Door, the system will automatically switch to the STAY mode
when the Exit Time expires.
NOTE:

If the exit route entry/exit sensor is in a check condition or has been bypassed it will result in a loss of interior protection because the
alarm system will arm STAY in this case. Consult with your installer for servicing of the entry exit zones or to turn off this feature if a
check condition on entry exit zones occurs.

Arming in Night Stay Mode
Use this mode when you are staying home, but require increased security. The mode Arms same as STAY mode,
but also arms preselected interior sensors (programmed by your installer), while other interior sensors are left
disarmed. This mode can be armed when you are staying home but expect someone to use the entrance door
later. However, persons entering later can enter through an entry/exit door but they must disarm the system
and must not violate any of the programmed interior zones to avoid sounding an alarm. Close all protected
perimeter windows and doors before arming. The green Ready indicator on the control should be lit if the
system is ready to be armed. When armed in Night STAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected
zone is faulted, but you may otherwise move freely throughout the premises. Late arrivals can enter through
the designated entrance door without causing an alarm, but they must disarm the system within the entry
delay period or an alarm will occur. If Quick Arm was programmed by the installer, you do not need to enter the
security code to arm the system. The security code must always be used to disarm the system, however.
When NIGHT-STAY mode is on, the selected interior zones are armed and cause an alarm if anyone
enters those areas (e.g., waking in the middle of the night). To avoid sounding an alarm, you must
disarm the system before any activity takes place in those interior zones.
The Guest Code and Installer Code cannot disarm the system unless it was used to arm the
system. In addition, if the system is armed by pressing via Quick-Arming, neither the Guest Code
nor Installer Code can disarm the system.

Arming In Away Mode
Use this mode when no one will be staying on the premises. Close all protected perimeter windows and doors
before arming. The green Ready indicator on the control should be lit if the system is ready to be armed. When
armed in AWAY mode, the system will sound an alarm if a protected door or window is opened, or if any
movement is detected inside the premises, when infrared detection devices are used. You may leave through a
designated entrance door during the exit delay period without causing an alarm. You may also re-enter through
the entrance door, but you must disarm the system within the entry delay period or an alarm will occur. If
Quick Arm was programmed by the installer, you do not need to enter the security code to arm the system. The
security code must always be used to disarm the system, however. If your system’s Garage Door Zone has been
programmed for burglary protection, the system can be armed while the Garage Door is opened. A “Fault” will
be displayed by the control but will clear once the door has been closed. The Garage Door zone will subsequently
be monitored by the system. If Auto Stay Arming is enabled, the system will Arm in STAY mode if the Exit
Time expires and no exit has been made. Refer to Auto Stay Arming Feature for additional information.
The Guest Code and Installer Code cannot disarm the system unless it was used to arm the system. In addition,

Entry/Exit Delays
Exit Delay
Exit delay begins immediately after arming the system, and gives you time to leave through the designated exit
door without setting off an alarm. The system display will count down the time remaining in the exit delay, if
programmed by your installer. If the system has been Armed Away, a slow beeping will sound throughout the
exit delay period, if programmed by your installer. The exit door must be closed before the end of the exit delay.
During the last 10 seconds of the exit delay fast beeps will sound as a warning that the delay time is nearing its
end. The exit beeps cannot be silenced.
Restarting Exit Delay While System Armed

Ask your installer if this feature is active for your system. If active, you can restart the exit delay one time after
arming in Stay or Away mode during the exit delay by selecting the “Restart” key. This will allowing extra time

Exit Alarms
To minimize false alarms sent to the alarm monitoring company, your system may have been programmed for
this feature. Ask your installer if Exit Alarm is active for your system.
Whenever you arm the system, the exit delay begins. If an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted when the
exit delay ends (e.g., exit door left open), the system sounds an alarm and starts the entry delay timer. If you
disarm the system before the entry delay ends, the alarm sound stops and the message “Alarm Cancelled is
displayed, in the system bar. Additionally, Alarm and the faulted zone are displayed with their associated icons
in the system/zone status area. No message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. To clear the exit alarm
condition, the open zone must be secured. To clear the display, select the “Disarm” icon OR depress the “Off”
key and then enter your security code.
If you do not disarm the system before the entry delay ends, and an entry/exit door or interior zone is still open,
the alarm sound continues and an "exit alarm" message is sent to the alarm monitoring company. The message
“Alarm Exit Error" is displayed, in the system bar. Additionally, Alarm and the faulted zone are displayed with
their associated icons in the system/zone status area. The alarm will continue to sound until the system is
disarmed or timeout ocurs. To stop the alarm, the system must be disarmed by selecting the “Disarm”
icon OR depressing the “Off” key and then entering your security code. The message “Alarm Cancelled" is
displayed, in the system bar, indicating that the alarm has been cancelled (if this feature is enabled by the
installer). “Alarm” and the faulted zone continue to be displayed with their associated icons in the system/zone
status area. To clear the display, select the “Disarm” icon OR depress the “Off” key and then enter your security
code a second time. An exit alarm also results if an entry/exit door or interior zone is faulted within two
minutes after the end of the exit delay.

SECURING THE PREMISES
Entry/Exit Delays
Entry Delay
Entry Delays give you time to disarm the system when you re-enter through the designated entrance door. You
must disarm the system before the entry delay period ends, or an alarm will occur. The control beeps during the
entry delay period, reminding you to disarm the system. There are two entry delays (if programmed). The first
is for your primary entrance and the second can be used for a secondary entrance, where a longer delay is
required to walk to the control to disarm the system. You can also arm the system with no entry delay at all by
selecting the “Delay” icon prior to arming the system. This will toggle the system to “Instant”, which can
provide greater security while on the premises or while away for extended periods of time. See Arming the
System section for procedure. See your installer for delay times programmed for your system.

disarmed as soon as the correct user code is entered on the touch screen. Selecting the Off key is not required.
The entry beeps or alarm sound can be silenced by pressing any key however, it will restart in 10 seconds if the
correct User Code is not entered. The Ready indicator will light (if no alarms have occurred while armed) and
the control will beep once to confirm that the system is disarmed.
**IMPORTANT**

USER FUNCTIONS
User Access
General Information
For additional security you (the Master User Code) can assign secondary user codes to individual users
enabling them to perform specific system functions. These secondary users are identified by "User Numbers"
when their codes are assigned. You can assign up to 30 user codes. Note that the Master User is the only one
who can assign codes to secondary users.
All codes can be used interchangeably when performing system functions (a system armed with one user's code
can be disarmed by another user's code), with the exception of the Guest Code described below.
• Guest Code: This code can be used to arm the system, but cannot disarm the system unless the system
was armed with this code. This code is typically assigned to someone (such as a Guest) who needs to
arm/disarm the system only at certain times.
• Duress Code: This feature is intended for use when you are forced to disarm or arm the system under
threat. When used, the system will act normally, but can silently notify the alarm monitoring company of
your situation, if that service has been provided. The Duress Code is useful only when the system is
connected to an alarm monitoring company.
IMPORTANT: Temporary users of the system (e.g., Guests, cleaning staff) should not be shown how to use any
system function they do not need to know, such as bypassing protection zones for example.

USER FUNCTIONS
Two-Way Voice Feature (Alarm Audio Verification)
This feature allows an operator at the Central Station to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with
an individual(s) at your location. It also assists the operator in gathering information about the nature and
location of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to police and/or fire departments. All LYNX Touch
control panels are capable of supporting the Two-Way Voice feature. The LYNX Touch does not make system
announcements when the Two-Way voice feature is active.
If a WiFi connection is being used for Two-Way Voice (AAV), sufficient bandwidth must be available.
• AAV requires a continuous WiFi upload/download bandwidth of 90kbps for proper operation.
• WiFi bandwidth less than 90kbps may result in degraded performance.
Fire and CO alarms will prevent the LYNX Touch from starting an Two-Way Voice session. A new Fire or
CO alarm will end a Two-Way Voice session that is in progress.

If the Two-way Voice Feature has been programmed and an alarm condition is detected, the system sends an
alarm message to the central station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent
to the central station. In response to this message, the central station operator can enter commands that allow
initiation of a 5-minute voice session.
When activated, the Two-Way Voice (AAV) feature enters the “Listen Mode” and sirens and keypad sounds are
discontinued. The Central Station operator begins the session, which lasts 5 minutes, and may be extended 5
minutes, without changing the operating mode. If a subsequent security zone is violated during a voice session,
the session will continue and the alarm will be buffered. If a fire zone is violated during a voice session, the
system will terminate the session and process the alarm. The Two-Way Voice modes are described as follows:
Listen Mode: Enables one-way audio from the violated premises to the central station. The Listen Mode is the
start up default mode of the voice feature and allows the operator to listen through the LYNX Touch
microphone.
Talk Mode: Enables one-way voice communication from the central station to the violated premises, and
allows the operator to communicate through the built-in speaker on the LYNX Touch. In this mode the Red
(Armed) and Green (Ready) LEDs blink alternately.
VOX (Voice) Mode: Enables two-way voice communications between the Central Station and the violated
premises via the built-in speaker and microphone on the LYNX Touch. In this mode the Red (Armed) and
Green (Ready) LEDs blink alternately.
During the voice session, the Red (Armed) and Green (Ready) LEDs will alternately blink in the Talk and VOX
Modes but not during Listen Mode.

Low Battery Conditions in Wireless Sensors

Each wireless sensor in your system has an internal battery. The system detects low battery conditions in
wireless sensors, including smoke detectors, personal emergency transmitter, and the portable wireless keypad,
and displays a “Battery Low” message on the touch screen, which also beeps. A low battery in a wireless keypad
is detected as soon as one of its keys is pressed. In addition, a wireless smoke detector with a low battery also
emits a "chirp" sound approximately once every 20–30 seconds, identifying itself as the smoke detector with the
weak battery.
NOTE: A low battery message means that battery replacement in the indicated sensor(s) is due within 30 days. In the meantime,
a sensor with a low battery is still operational.

To silence Low Battery Warning Tones, enter an Off sequence. The low battery message display will remain on
as a reminder. When you replace the weak battery with a fresh one, the sensor will send a "good battery" signal
to the control when the sensor is activated (opening/closing of door, window, etc.). To clear the “Low Battery”
message, enter an Off sequence.

– 70 –

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
Maintaining your system
When replacing batteries, use only those recommended by your installer.
Alkaline batteries provide a minimum of 1 year of operation, and in most units and applications, provide 2–4 years of service. 3volt lithium batteries may provide from 4-7 years of operation. Actual battery life will depend on the environment in which the
sensor is used, the number of signals that the transmitter in the sensor has had to send, and the specific type of sensor. Factors
such as humidity, high or low temperatures, and large swings in temperature may all lead to the reduction of actual battery life in
an installation.

Changing the LYNX Touch Series System Battery
In the event of an AC power loss, the LYNX Touch Series is powered by a rechargeable, nickel-metal hydride
battery pack. The battery pack should be replaced when a “Battery Low” message with no zone number is
displayed.
NOTE: The battery pack (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-SC or LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) should be changed every four years and must be
replaced by a qualified service technician.

Following battery pack replacement, rechargeable batteries may take up to 48 hours to charge. The “Battery
Low” message may be displayed after one minute, however it should clear within 4 hours or by entering Test
Mode.

FIRE/CO ALARM SYSTEM (If Installed)
General Information
UL

LYNX Touch is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.

General
Your fire alarm system (if installed) is active 24 hours a day, providing continuous protection. In the event of an
emergency, the installed smoke, heat and/or carbon monoxide detectors will automatically activate your
security system, triggering a loud, intermittent sound from the touch screen. The sound will be interlaced with
the voice descriptor, sounding every 15 seconds. A “FIRE” or “CO” message will appear at your touch screen and
remain on until you silence and clear the alarm display.

In Case of Fire
1. Should you become aware of a fire emergency before your detectors sense the problem, go to the LYNX Touch
and press and hold the panic button and then select the Fire icon. The alarm will sound and an alarm will be
transmitted to the central station.
2. Evacuate all occupants from the premises.
3. If flames and/or smoke are present, leave the premises and notify your local Fire Department immediately.
4. If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the cause of the alarm. The zone number of the zone(s) in an
alarm condition will appear at the touch screen.

In Case of Carbon Monoxide Alarm
1. If a high level of carbon monoxide is detected you should evacuate all occupants from the premises and
immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors.
2. From a safe area, contact your security service provider for further instructions.

Silencing a Fire/Carbon Monoxide Alarm
1. Silence the alarm by entering an OFF sequence.
2. To clear the alarm, enter a second OFF sequence.
3 If the touch screen indicates a trouble condition after the second OFF sequence, check that smoke detectors are
not responding to smoke- or heat-producing objects in their vicinity. Should this be the case, eliminate the source
of heat or smoke.
4. If this does not remedy the problem, there may still be smoke in the detector. Clear it by fanning the detector for
about 30 seconds.
5. When the problem has been corrected, clear the display by entering another OFF sequence.

FIRE/CO ALARM SYSTEM
National Fire Protection Association Smoke Detector Recommendations
UL

LYNX Touch is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.

With regard to the number and placement of smoke and heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations
contained in the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and
areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: A smoke detector installed outside of each
separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family
living unit, including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics.
In addition, the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining room,
bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached
garages.

FIRE/CO ALARM SYSTEM
Emergency Evacuation
UL

LYNX Touch is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N
LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed.

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire. The following steps are recommended by
the National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so
that they can be heard by all occupants.

3. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs and
rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each
room. Keep these routes free from obstruction and post copies of the
escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This
will prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If
the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if
smoke or heat rushes in.
6. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright,
since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the
floor.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
8. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone
can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account
for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to
the house — many die going back.

PORCH

2. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape
should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building.
The other should be an alternative escape, such as a window, should
your path to that door be unpassable. Station an escape ladder at
such windows if there is a long drop to the ground.

Avertissement : L’utilisateur ne doit pas tenter de faire ces raccordements lui-même; il doit avoir racours à un service d’inspection des installations
électriques, ou à un électricien, selon le cas.
Ringer Equivalence Number Notice:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum
of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
AVIS : L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) assigné à chaque dispositif terminal indique le nombre maximal de terminaux qui peuvent être
raccordés à une interface. La terminaison d’une interface téléphonique peut consister en une combinaison de quelques dispositifs, à la seule condition que
la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excède pas 5.

WARNING!
THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS ALARM SYSTEM
While this system is an advanced design security system, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary or fire
or other emergency. Any alarm system, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure to warn for
a variety of reasons. For example:
• Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor
or disconnect an alarm warning device.
• Intrusion detectors (e.g. passive infrared detectors), smoke detectors, and many other sensing devices will not work
without power. Battery operated devices will not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not
put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC will not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however
briefly.
• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm receiver. Even if
the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the
path.
• A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough.
• While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths in the United States, they may not
activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this
System may not work are as follows. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke
detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs,
or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or
building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors
have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not
always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping
gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson.
Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as
anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow all occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death.
• Passive Infrared Motion Detectors can only detect intrusion within the designed ranges as diagrammed in their
installation manual. Passive Infrared Detectors do not provide volumetric area protection. They do create multiple
beams of protection, and intrusion can only be detected in unobstructed areas covered by those beams. They cannot
detect motion or intrusion that takes place behind walls, ceilings, floors, closed doors, glass partitions, glass doors, or
windows. Mechanical tampering, masking, painting or spraying of any material on the mirrors, windows or any part of
the optical system can reduce their detection ability. Passive Infrared Detectors sense changes in temperature;
however, as the ambient temperature of protected area approaches the temperature range of 90° to 105°F, the detection
performance can decrease.
• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the
other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the
bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by passing traffic.
Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or waken deep sleepers.
• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service
or temporarily out of service. Telephone lines are also subject to compromise by sophisticated intruders.
• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect
themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond
appropriately.
• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to
last as long as 10 years, the electronic components could fail at any time.
The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance.
This alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all sensors and transmitters are working properly.
Installing an alarm system may make one eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for
insurance. Homeowners, property owners and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and
continue to insure their lives and property.
We continue to develop new and improved protection devices. Users of alarm systems owe it to themselves and their loved
ones to learn about these developments.

IN THE EVENT OF TELEPHONE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
In the event of telephone operational problems, disconnect the control by removing the plug from the RJ31X
(CA38A in Canada) telephone wall jack. We recommend that your certified installer demonstrate disconnecting
the phones on installation of the system. Do not disconnect the phone connection inside the
control/communicator. Doing so will result in the loss of your phone lines. If the regular phone works correctly
after the control/communicator has been disconnected from the phone lines, the control/communicator has a
problem and should be returned for repair. If upon disconnection of the control/communicator, there is still a
problem on the line, notify the telephone company that they have a problem and request prompt repair service.
The user may not under any circumstances (in or out of warranty) attempt any service or repairs to the system.
It must be returned to the factory or an authorized service agency for all repairs.
