LYNX Touch Installation and Setup Guide- 14 -Installing Wireless ZonesRF Sniffer Test ModeThis mode is used after all transmitters have been entered to check that all transmitters have been properlyprogrammed. Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit Sniffer mode by selectingOff and entering the Installer Code to return to normal operation.SCREEN ACTION5000-100-096-V0Test 1. At the Tools Screen, select “Test”. The following options are displayed.Walk TestGo-No-Go TestRF Sniffer TestDialer Test5000-100-102-V0RF SnifferTest2. Select “RF Sniffer Test” from the options.Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, thesystem will not go into the Sniffer mode. If so, wait a few minutes and try again.3. The system displays all programmed zone numbers and zone descriptors, which have anon-zero Zone Type. Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. Asthe system receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of thattransmitter disappears from the display. The transmitters may be checked upon installation,or in an installed system. The system will beep once every 30-40 seconds while the RFSniffer Test mode is active.4. When all transmitters have been checked, Exit RF Sniffer Test mode by depressing the Offkey and entering the Installer or a User Code.Notes: (1) All button-type (BR) units must physically be activated to clear the display, since they do not automatically sendcheck-in signals.(2) When one button of a button type, supervised or unsupervised RF transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned toother buttons on that transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters that have multiple loops (zones).(3) Any transmitter that is not “entered” will not turn off its zone number.(4) For SIA installations, the following devices may be used as specified for panic (24-hour) alarm response:• wireless keys which have two-button panic pairs available (e.g., 5804BDV), on which only the two-button panic pairs may beprogrammed for any 24-hour alarm response• wireless keypads (e.g., 5828/5828V) keypads that have a two-second delay on the special function keys, or two-button panicpairs• built-in keypad panic keyGo/No Go Test ModeConducting this test with your hand wrapped around the transmitter will cause inaccurate results.On button type transmitters that have been programmed to set ARM AWAY, ARM STAY, or DISARM, pressing abutton will take the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode causing the programmed action to occur.The Go/No Go tests will verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, andallow you to reorient or relocate transmitters if necessary, before mounting the transmitters permanently.This mode is similar to the transmitter Test mode, except that the wireless receiver gain is reduced. Thiswill enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signalamplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.SCREEN ACTION5000-100-096-V0Test1.

Once you have placed transmitters in their desired locations, and the approximate length ofwire to be run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), faulteach transmitter.a. The keypad beeps three times indicating signal reception, displays the appropriatezone number and announced the zone description.b. If the keypad does not beep, reorient or move the transmitter to another location.Usually a few inches in either direction is all that is required.4. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when faulted, they can bepermanently mounted according to their respective instructions.5. The system will beep once every 30-40 seconds while the Go-No-Go Test mode is active.6. Exit Go-No-Go Test mode by depressing the Off key and entering the Installer or a UserCode.
