Frequently Asked Questions
Should I Change My Installer Code?
Most users find that there is no need for them to change the Installer Code on their security panel. This is because leaving their Installer Code at the default does not present any sort of security risk. Also, changing the Installer Code can lead to confusion and extra hassle for the user later on.
Can I Install a Honeywell Lynx Touch Panel as DIY?
The Honeywell Lynx Touch Series of security panels are great systems for DIY users. The panels make it very easy for end users to complete any task with minimal technical support. This includes tasks such as enrolling wireless security devices with the panel and making communication module upgrades.
Does the Skybell Work with the L5210 or L7000?
A Skybell Camera does not connect with a one's security panel. Rather, it is integrated into a user's security setup through Total Connect or Alarm.com. The user must have the Skybell feature enabled on their TC or ADC account. The camera can then be linked with the account using the respective app.
Can an L5000, L5100, L5200, L5210 or L7000 Work Together?
All of the Honeywell Lynx Touch panels are independent systems that are not designed to work with one another. If a user is looking to add an additional access point for their Lynx Touch panel, they can use a 5828 Keypad. This will give them a secondary location for arming and disarming their panel.
Where is the Power Button on an a LYNX Touch Security System?
The only true way to power down a LYNX Touch security system is to remove the AC power supply and the backup battery for the panel. This will cause the panel to shut down and remain off. It is also possible to perform a soft reset of the panel to have it power back on immediately after shutting off.
What Kind of Battery Goes In My Honeywell 5834-4?
The Honeywell 5834-4 uses a 3-volt lithium coin cell battery, such as the Honeywell CR2032. The battery is designed to power the 5834-4 for roughly 3 - 5 years. When the voltage of the battery drops below 2.3 volts, a low battery message will be displayed on the panel whenever a button is pressed.
How do I Enroll a Sensor on my LYNX L5210, L7000 or Lyric?
Enrolling a sensor on a Honeywell LYNX Touch or Lyric Controller can be done by accessing Zone Programming and then auto-enrolling the sensor with the panel.
How does a Honeywell 5800PIR Work?
By using passive infrared (PIR) technology, the 5800PIR is able to detect the presence of intruders. The device is activated whenever a change in infrared energy is detected, signaling that an intruder is present. The pulse count of the 5800PIR can also be changed in order to adjust its sensitivity.
What is the Difference Between an Installer Code & User Code on a Lyric Security System?
A user code on a Lyric security system is used for arming and disarming the panel, while the installer code is used for gaining access to system programming. The installer code can also be used to arm the panel. However, the installer code can only disarm the panel if it was the code used to arm it.
What Panels Does a GSMX4G Radio Work With?
A GSMX4G cellular communicator is designed for use with Honeywell VISTA panels, as well as the LYNX Plus L3000 system. The GSMX4G will provide the system with a 4G cellular connection using the AT&T cellular service, and it is fully compatible with the Total Connect 2.0 service provided by AlarmNet.
