❁ ❫ ❁SYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEWSYSTEM OVERVIEWGeneral OperationSecurity CodesAt the time of installation, you were asked to provide a personal 4-digit security or “MasterUser” code. You must enter the user code when arming and disarming the system, and whenperforming other system functions. As an additional security feature, other users who do notneed to know your code can be assigned up to 14 different security codes. Refer to theSECURITY CODES section for procedures on adding security codes to the system.AlarmsWhen 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 internalsounder stops temporarily and voice announcements of the zones in alarm begins. Whenthese zones have been announced, the internal sounder sounds again and the cycle repeatsitself, until the system is disarmed or until alarm bell timeout occurs. If your system isconnected to a central monitoring station, an alarm message will be sent. To stop the alarmsounding, simply disarm the system. The zone(s) causing the alarm remain displayedindicating memory of alarm. Refer to the DISARMING THE SYSTEM section forinformation about clearing the memory of alarm displayTwo-Way Voice FeatureThe control supports voice dialog between an operator at the central station and anindividual at the premises. This feature allows the central station to listen, talk to or conducta two-way conversation with an individual(s) at the premises and allows the operator togather information about the nature and location of the alarm that may be helpful inresponding to police or rescue departments. If the Two-way Voice Feature has beenprogrammed and an alarm condition is detected, the system sends an alarm message to thecentral station. After acknowledgement is received, a “listen in to follow” message is sent tothe central station. In response to this message, the central station operator can entercommands 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 sessionand process the alarm. During the voice session, the ARMED (red) and READY (green) LEDswill alternately blink in the Talk and VOX Modes but not during Listen Mode.
