LYNX Touch Installation and Setup Guide- 53 -System OperationUL Audio alarm verification has not been evaluated by UL.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 anindividual(s) at the premises. It also assists the operator in gathering information about the nature andlocation of the alarm that may be helpful in responding to police and fire departments. All LYNX Touchcontrol panels are capable of supporting the Two-Way Voice feature. The LYNX Touch does not make systemannouncements when the Two-Way voice feature is active.ActivationFire and CO alarms will prevent the LYNX Touch from starting an AAV session. A new Fire or CO alarm willend an AAV session that is in progress.The LYNX Touch sends the “alarm message” followed by a “Listen-in-to-Follow message” (Contact ID® code606) to the Central Station. The Listen-in-to-Follow message causes the Central Station’s digital receiver totemporarily hold the phone line for approximately 1-minute. When the LYNX Touch receives the “kissoff”from the central station, indicating that the alarm message has been received, the Two-Way Voice (AAV)feature is activated in the (default) “Listen Mode” and sirens and keypad sounds are discontinued. TheLYNX Touch transmits a beep acknowledgment to the Central Station, once per second. The beep alternatesbetween two tones and indicates that the LYNX Touch is waiting for a session command from the CentralStation operator. Once a command is issued the beep acknowledgement is discontinued, however, if acommand is not issued within two minutes the system will “time out” and the call will be terminated.Operator CommandsThe Central Station operator begins the session, which last 5 minutes, by entering one of the valid AAVcommands shown in the table below. The session may be extended 5 minutes, without changing theoperating mode, by pressing the [7] key on the touch-tone phone.
