SYSTEM OVERVIEW
General Operation
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.

LYNXR-2 Series is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup
battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) 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
