LYNXR-I Installation and Setup Guide
Installing Wireless Zones
General Information
Zones: The control supports up to 24 wireless zones using 5800 Series transmitters, and up to 16 wireless buttons.
Range: The built-in RF receiver can detect signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal range of 200 feet.
Transmitters: 5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be entered into the system using the ✻56 or ✻83 interactive mode, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800 Series transmitters (except the 5800RL, which is described separately) do not have DIP switches. Each transmitter's zone number is programmed into the system in ✻56 mode. Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can support more than one "zone" (referred to as loops or inputs). On the 5816, for example, the wire connection terminal block is loop 1, the reed contact is loop 2. Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.
| The 5816 and 5817 Transmitters do not have EOL supervision of their loop wiring and the loop wiring must |
UL | not exceed 3 feet. |
The 5800RL, 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819S(WHS & |
| BRS), 5828/5828V and 5850(GBD) transmitters have not been evaluated by UL. |

For button transmitters (RF "keys") such as the 5804 and 5801, you must assign a unique zone number to each individual button used on the transmitter. Each button on the transmitter also has a pre-designated loop or input number, which is automatically displayed.
House Identification
If you are using a 5804BD/5804BDV Wireless Keypad with the system, you must program a House ID Code (01–31) in field ✻24 to establish proper communication, and the keypad must be set to the same ID. House ID 00 disables all wireless keypads. An RF House ID is not necessary for other 5800 Series transmitters; the entry should be left at “00” (default) in those cases.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters/keypads that may be carried off-premises (5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, and 5804E), each transmitter is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to the receiver at 70–90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from each supervised transmitter within a 12-hour period, the "missing" transmitter number(s) and "FAULT" will be displayed. The supervision for a particular transmitter in the system that may also be carried off the premises (5801, 5802MN) may be turned off by entering it as a "UR" (unsupervised RF) type, as described in the ✻56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode section.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate as a fault condition if covers are removed.
Transmitter Input Types
Each of the following transmitters has one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) ID codes. Each of the inputs requires a programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four button zones).
Transmitters can be entered as one of the following types (see transmitter’s instructions for appropriate input type):
Type | Description |
"RF" (Supervised RF) | Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low battery signals. |
| The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range. |
| |
"UR" (Unsupervised RF) | Sends all the signals that the "RF" type does, but the control does not supervise the |
| check-in signals. The transmitter may therefore be carried off-premises. |
| |
"BR" (Unsupervised Button RF) | These only send fault signals. They do not send low battery signals until they are |
| activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises. |
