Honeywell LYNXR-I manual System Overview

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Features

General Information

This system offers you three forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the configuration of your system. The system consists of a master keypad for controlling system operation, various wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and optional smoke or combustion detectors to provide early fire warning. In addition, optional wireless keypads may have been installed to allow you to control the system away from the master keypad. The system may also be controlled from a remote telephone and can be used as a speaker phone.

The system uses microcomputer technology to monitor all protection zones and system status, display appropriate information on the keypad display, and initiate appropriate alarms. Your system may also have been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines to a central alarm monitoring station, and may also be capable of two-way voice communication with the central station.

The user features of this security system are listed below. Ask your installer which features have been programmed for your system.

•STAY and AWAY arming modes: By using these modes you can protect either the perimeter only, or the entire premises.

•3 panic key functions: Designated keys allow you to manually activate fire, personal emergency, or silent alarms. Refer to the PANIC KEYS section for detailed information.

•Paging feature: If programmed by your installer this feature alerts you to certain system conditions by displaying code numbers that indicate the type of condition that has occurred. In addition, pressing the AUX key can send a predefined message to your pager, if programmed to do so (see AUX key function below). Refer to the PAGING FEATURE section for detailed information.
