SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW 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.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW SYSTEM OVERVIEW 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.

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.
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.
About the Touchscreen Control **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.
