Audio Alarm Verification (Two-Way Voice Feature)

This feature allows the central station operator to listen, talk to or conduct a two-way conversation with an individual(s) at the premises. 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 fire departments. All LYNXR-I control panels are capable of supporting the Two-Way Voice feature. The LYNXR-I does not make system announcements when the Two-Way voice feature is active.

Activation

The LYNXR-I sends the “alarm message” followed by a “Listen-in-to-Follow message” (Contact ID® code

606)to the Central Station. The Listen-in-to-Follow message causes the Central Station’s digital receiver to temporarily hold the phone line for approximately 1-minute. When the LYNXR-I receives the “kissoff” from the central station, indicating that the alarm message has been received, the Two-Way Voice (AVM) feature is activated in the (default) “Listen Mode” and sirens and keypad sounds are discontinued. The LYNXR-I transmits a beep acknowledgment to the Central Station, once per second. The beep alternates between two tones and indicates that the LYNXR-I is waiting for a session command from the Central Station operator. Once a command is issued the beep acknowledgement is discontinued, however, if a command is not issued within two minutes the system will “time out” and the call will be terminated.

Operator Commands

The Central Station operator begins the session, which last 5 minutes, by entering one of the valid AVM commands shown in the table below. The session may be extended 5 minutes, without changing the operating mode, by pressing the [7] key on the touch-tone phone. Selecting another operating mode also resets the session an additional 5 minutes. During the last minute of the 5 minute, session, the LYNXR-I generates two beeps every 30 seconds to alert the Central Station operator that the session is about to time out. The Central Station operator may then extend the session by pressing the [7] key on the touch-tone phone. If the session is not extended the phone line is disconnected, and the session is ended. Sessions may be ended at any time by pressing the [9] key on the touch-tone phone. The AVM modes are described as follows:

Note: When entering AVM commands make sure the Central Station receiver has been disconnected from the phone line, otherwise AVM commands may not go through.

Key	Function
1	Talk Mode: Pressing the [1] key on the touch tone phone, enables one-way voice communication from the central station

	ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs blink alternately.
2	VOX (Voice) Mode: Pressing the [2] key on the touch-tone phone, enables two-way voice communications between the central
	station and the violated premises. In this mode the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs blink alternately.
3	Listen Mode: Pressing the [3] key on the touch-tone phone, 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
