Mechanics of Programming
General Programming Information
Programming options are stored in non-removable, electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEROM memory. The
system can be programmed 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:
•
Data field programming (used for setting various system options)
• Interactive menu mode programming (used for programming zone information, programming Powerline Carrier
Devices, and for entering transmitter serial numbers)
The system can also be programmed remotely, using an IBM Personal Computer, a modem, and Compass Downloader
for Windows. See the Remote Programming/Control (Downloading) section.
Note: You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Program Mode. This will allow you to clearly hear the
feedback announcements or system beeps in the Programming Mode, of the system’s built-in speaker. To adjust the volume, press
FUNCTION + VOLUME+ [3] or [6]. Upon exiting the Program Mode, the system will reset the volume to the default value (mid level).
!
Certain features differ between the LYNXR/LYNXR24 and the LYNXR-EN models. Verify the specific model being
installed prior to the system programming.
Entering Program Mode - Use one of the following methods to enter Programming Mode:
1. Press both the [✻] and [#] keys at the same time, within 50 seconds after power is applied to the Control or from
exiting Programming mode, OR
2. After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4112) + 800 (This method disabled if Program mode is exited using
✻98.)
to enter Expert Programming mode or Installer Code (4112) + 888 to enter Voice Prompt Programming
mode.
Notes: 1. If a different Installer Code has been programmed, use that code to enter the Programming mode. Once you have entered the
Program mode, data field
✻20 (the first data field in the system) will be displayed and both keypad LEDs will flash.
2. Entering Programming mode may take up to 18 seconds if the 5842 Wireless Dialer has been enabled. The system will display
“ - - “ until the Lynx enters Programming mode.
Programming a Data Field
1. Press [✻] + Field No. (for example, ✻21), followed by the required entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will “beep” three times and then automatically
display the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field, press [
✻] plus the desired field number.
3. If the number of digits that will be entered in a data field is less than the maximum number of digits available (e.g.
phone number field), enter the desired data, then press [
✻] to advance to the next data field.
4. If a nonexistent field has been entered, the keypad will display “EE”. Simply re-enter [
✻] plus a valid field number.
To view a data field without making changes: Enter [#] + Field No. Data will be displayed for that field.
To delete an entry in a field: Enter [
✻] + Field No. + [✻]. (Applies only to fields ✻40–✻44, ✻88 and ✻94).
Interactive Mode Programming (✻56, ✻80, ✻81, ✻83, ✻84, ✻85)
Press [✻] + interactive mode No. (for example, ✻56). The keypad will display the first of a series of prompts.
A detailed procedure (with displays of prompts) is provided in later sections of this manual.
Interactive Mode Used to Program
✻
56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode
Zone characteristics, report codes, and serial numbers
✻80 Device Programming Menu Mode
Powerline Carrier Devices
✻81 Zone List Menu Mode
Zone Lists for powerline carrier activation
✻
83 Enhanced Sequential Mode
5800 Series transmitter serial numbers
✻84 Assign Zone Voice Descriptors
Voice descriptors for each zone
✻85 Record Custom Voice Descriptors
Up to 5 custom voice descriptors for zones
Loading Factory Defaults
To load the factory defaults, enter the Programming mode, press ✻97, then press number 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select from
default tables 1-4 at the back of this manual, or press “0” if you are not selecting a default table.
!
If a default table is loaded, any data that has already been programmed into the system will be changed according to
the default table selected!
✻96 resets all subscriber account numbers and CSID in preparation for an initial download.
Exiting Program Mode
✻
98 inhibits re-entry into the Expert or Voice Prompt Programming modes using the Installer Code.
✻99 allows re-entry into the Expert Program mode using Installer Code (4112) + 800 or into the Voice Prompt
Programming mode using Installer Code (4112) + 888.
Note: After exiting program mode (or upon power-up), the system takes up to a minute to reset. To bypass the reset delay, press [#] + [0].
