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. Certain features apply only to LYNXR-2SIA version of the control. 
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. 
• Follow me system announcements:  Allows the LYNXR-2 Series to dial a number, programmed 
by your installer, and deliver system announcements.  
• Follow me reminder announcements:  Allows the LYNXR-2 Series 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: Keypad displays current time. Refer to the CLOCK/CALENDAR section for 
procedures for setting the time. 
• Voice announcement of system status: The master keypad’s built-in speaker announces system 
status at the press of a key. Refer to the CHECKING SYSTEM STATUS section for detailed 
information. 
• Message center: The system allows recording and play back of brief messages. Refer to the 
RECORDING/PLAYBACK MESSAGES section for procedures. 
• Device activation: Designated keys allow you to turn lights and/or other devices on and off. In 
addition, some devices (e.g., a light) may be programmed to activate automatically as a result of a 
system event such as an alarm or trouble condition. Refer to the USING POWERLINE CARRIER 
DEVICE COMMANDS section for detailed information. 
• AUX key function: Designated key lets you activate a predefined series of keystrokes with a single 
press of the 
AUX key plus user code, or manually send a pager message. It will also allow you to 
manually send a voice message to phone number that has been programmed by your installer. Ask

LYNXR-2SIA False Alarm Prevention Features 
Many false alarms are caused by simple accidents, like forgetting to close a door when you leave. The 
LYNXR-2SIA 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 EA, indicating, “exit alarm”. 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 entering CODE + STAY. 
• 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 “CA” or cancel. 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  
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. 
 
U
UU UL
LL L 
    LYNXR-2 Series is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup 
battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC) is installed. 
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 by using 
the 
NO DELAY key in combination with the desired arming key. 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 turn on (arm) the burglary protection portion of your system before it will sense burglary 
alarms.  To arm the system, enter your user code then press the desired arming key (AWAY or STAY). 
Refer to the ARMING THE SYSTEM section for detailed procedures and information. 
Security Codes 
At the time of installation, you were assigned 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 6 different security codes. Refer to the SECURITY CODES section for procedures on 
adding security codes to the system. 
Alarms 
When an alarm occurs, the keypad and external sounders will sound for about 15-seconds, and the 
keypad will display the zone(s) causing the alarm. After 15-seconds, the siren stops temporarily and 
voice announcements of the zones in alarm begins. When these zones have been announced, the siren 
sounds again and the cycle repeats itself, until the system is disarmed (CODE + OFF) 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

General Operation 
LYNXR-2SIA False Alarm Prevention Feature 
Note that in cases of alarm, the LYNXR-2SIA may disarm as soon as the security code is entered, or 
you can still enter CODE + OFF. If your system is connected to a central monitoring station, an alarm 
message will be sent. To reduce false alarms, message reporting is delayed 30 seconds. The delay can be 
reduced to 15 seconds, or increased up to 60 seconds at your option. Consult with your installer to 
ensure that the correct delay has been programmed. 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 LYNXR-2 Series 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. The options allow the operator 
to enter the following modes: 
• Talk: Allows the operator to speak to individuals at the premises through the system speaker. 
• VOX (2-way voice): Allows the operator to hold a two-way (speak and listen) conversation with 
individuals at the premises. 
• Listen: Allows the operator to listen to any activity at the premises through the system microphone. 
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.
