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 touchscreen control for 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 touchscreen control. The system may also be used as a speaker phone. 
The system monitors protection zones and system status, displays appropriate information 
on the touchscreen display, and initiates appropriate alarms. Your system may also have 
been programmed to automatically send alarm or status messages over the phone lines or via 
the cellular/GSM network or the internet 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. 
•   Panic key functions:  A designated key allow you to manually activate fire, medical 
emergency, or silent police alarms. Refer to the  PANIC KEYS section for detailed 
information. 
•   Follow me reminder announcements:   Allows the panel to dial a number that you have 
specified, at a programmed time and day and deliver a message programmed by your 
installer.  
•   Real-time clock:  Touchscreen displays current date and time. Refer to the 
CLOCK/CALENDAR  section for procedures for setting the time. 
•   Message center:  The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer to 
the  RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES  section for procedures. 
•  Two-way voice:  Allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct two-way 
conversations with individuals on the premises Refer to the  TWO-WAY VOICE section for 
detailed information.   
•  Phone Control:  Provides a remote interactive phone capability that permits access to the 
security system from any off-site touch-tone telephone. Refer to the Remote Phone Control 
Feature  section for detailed information. 
•   Speaker Phone Operation:  The system is capable of operating as a speaker phone 
allowing hands free telephone conversation. 
•   Security Codes:  The system is capable of supporting an Installer code, Master user code 
and 14 additional User codes including Babysitter and Duress codes. Refer to the 
SECURITY CODES  section for detailed information.

General Operation 
•  Device activation:  Allows you to send  “Follow-Me ” or e-mail messages, as a result of a 
system event such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the  DEVICES section for 
detailed information. 
•   Scheduling feature:  Allows you to schedule the automatic activation or deactivation of 
program events (e.g. alarm clock, reminder, and latch key). Refer to the  SCHEDULES 
section for detailed information. 
 
Zones 
Your systems 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. 
Carbon Monoxide 
The carbon monoxide (CO) portion of your security system (if used) is always active and will 
sound an alarm if a CO condition is detected. Refer to the  FIRE ALARM SYSTEM section for 
more information. 
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. Refer to the  ARMING THE SYSTEM section. 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 arm the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary 
alarms.  Refer to the  ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and 
information.

General Operation 
 
LYNX Touch SIA False Alarm Prevention Features 
Many false alarms are caused by simple accidents, like forgetting to close a door when you leave. The 
LYNX Touch SIA includes several features that help prevent false alarms and some of these are 
optional or programmable. Although turning off some of these features may provide additional security, 
it may also increase the chance of false alarms. Your installer can help you decide whether to use the 
features or not. The following provides a brief explanation of the features included with your security 
system that help prevent false alarms from occurring, and what you should do if such alarms occur. 
•  Exit/Entry Delays:  Your security system has been programmed with delay times that allow you to 
exit the premises after arming, and to disarm the system upon entry, before an alarm occurs. If you 
leave the premises too late when exiting, or disarm too late when arriving home, it will cause a false 
alarm. If an alarm occurs, you should disarm the system immediately, and wait for your monitoring 
company to call you. 
•  Exit Alarms:  Leaving the premises and forgetting to close the door is a common cause of false 
alarms. The security system will sound an alarm, and display  “Exit Error ”. The security system 
provides extra time for you to disarm the system before dialing your monitoring company. Disarming 
the system immediately may prevent a call to your monitoring company. 
•   Exit Time Restart-Exit Delay Restart/Reset:  If you leave the premises and enter again before the 
exit delay has expired, the system will restart the exit time giving you more time to leave. If there 
are less than 10 seconds left to exit, the system will sound fast beeps, indicating an alarm will occur 
soon if you fail to exit or disarm immediately. If this occurs, disarm the system and arm it again 
when you are ready to leave. The Exit Delay can also be restarted by pressing the RESTART Icon. 
•  Auto Stay Feature:  If you arm the system in the “ AWAY” mode from the control ’s keypad or an RF 
keypad but no one exits, the alarm system will automatically change to the  “STAY ” mode. This will 
prevent you from tripping alarms by remaining on premises. Disarm the system and arm away again 
when you are ready to leave. 
•   Burglary Abort Window:  Your security system has a delay between the time a burglary alarm 
sounds, and the time the monitoring company is called. This delay gives you time to disarm the 
security system before the alarm is reported to the monitoring company. This delay is factory preset 
at 30 seconds, but may be increased or decreased by your installer. 
•  False Alarms:  If a burglary or fire alarm condition occurs and the system has been disarmed, the 
keypad will display  “Alarm Cancelled ”. If this was a false alarm, wait for the monitoring company to 
call you. They will verify your security code or password and prevent them from calling emergency 
personnel to respond to a false alarm.

General Operation 
Security Codes 
At the time of installation, you were asked to provide 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 14 different security codes. Refer to the 
SECURITY CODES  section for procedures on adding security codes to the system. 
Alarms 
When an alarm occurs, the LYNX Touch internal sounder will sound for about 15-seconds, 
and the touchscreen displays the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the internal 
sounder stops temporarily and voice announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When 
these zones have been announced, the internal sounder sounds again and the cycle repeats 
itself, until the system is disarmed 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 
Two-Way Voice Feature 
The control supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and an 
individual at the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conduct 
a two-way conversation with an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator to 
gather information about the nature and location of the alarm that may be helpful in 
responding to police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice Feature has been 
programmed and an alarm condition is detected, the system sends an alarm message to the 
central station. After acknowledgement is received, a  “listen in to follow ” message is sent to 
the central station. In response to this message, the central station operator can enter 
commands that allow him to initiate a 5-minute voice session.  
If a subsequent zone is violated during a voice session, the system will terminate the session 
and process the alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDs 
will alternately blink in the Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.

About the Touchscreen Control 
 
General  
**IMPORTANT** 
If the LYNX Touch is beeping rapidly upon entering the premises, an alarm has occurred 
during your absence and an intruder may still be on the premises. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY 
and CONTACT THE POLICE from a nearby safe location.   
The touchscreen icons and keys allow you to control all system functions. Additionally, the 
touchscreen display shows the zone and description of all system occurrences. When the 
speaker phone mode is active, a full-function telephone keypad is displayed on the 
touchscreen.  
The system also features a built-in sounder, which will sound during alarms and troubles 
and a built-in speaker announces system status. Additionally, the system beeps during 
certain system functions, such as during entry/exit delay times, in Chime mode, and when 
depressing any of the keys (to acknowledge the key press). 
The voice announcement volume is adjustable, however the  “beeps ” that sound in response to 
alarms always sound at the maximum volume level. All other  “beeps ” (trouble, chime, 
exit/entry, etc) can be set to either low or high volume.
