RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary Detection Devices Help Provide Proper
Coverage for the Protected Premises.
Recommendations for Smoke and Heat Detectors
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendations contained in
the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Standard #72 noted below.
•Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of
the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping
area, and on each additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke
detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
•For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the living room, dining
room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following:
•Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.
•Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or completely closed. Smoke
could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is
closed.
•Install a smoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable heaters, air conditioners or
humidifiers) are used.
•Install a smoke detector at both ends of a hallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
•Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where alarm control connections
to an AC source or phone lines are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control
from reporting a fire or an intrusion.
THIS CONTROL COMPLIES WITH NFPA REQUIREMENTS FOR TEMPORAL PULSE SOUNDING OF FIRE
NOTIFICATION APPLIANCES.

Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
•For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to a home or premises. This
would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows in a multi-level building.
•In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system. This will ensure that alarm signals can be
sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarm signals are normally
sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

Wiring Connections
1. Make Earth Ground Connection - The designated earth ground terminal (1) must be terminated in a good earth ground
for the lightning transient protective devices in this product to be effective. The following are examples of good earth
grounds available at most installations:
Metal Cold Water Pipe - Secure a non-corrosive metal strap (copper is recommended) to the pipe that is electrically
connected and secured to which the ground lead is electrically connected and secured.
AC Power Outlet Ground - Available from 3-prong, 120VAC power outlets only. To test the integrity of the ground
terminal, use a three-wire circuit tester with neon lamp indicators, such as the UL Listed Ideal Model 61–035, or
equivalent, available at most electrical supply stores.
a. Connect terminal 1 to a good earth ground.
2. Make Phone Line Connections - For local or full line seizure proceed to the appropriate steps below.
Local Seizure
a. Connect the incoming phone line to either the
8-position jack or terminals 2 (TIP) and 3
(RING) on the Lynx.
b. Connect the handset phone lines to either the
RJ11 jack or terminals 4 (TIP) and 5 (RING).
Full Line Seizure: The control must be
placed in series with the incoming phone
line. Plugging the Direct Connect Cord
directly into the RJ31X jack, allows the control
to seize the phone line when an alarm occurs
and normal phone line usage by the premises
phones if the plug needs to be removed.
c. Cut the incoming RING and TIP phone lines
(typically red and green, respectively) and
connect them to RJ31X terminals 4 (red) and
5 (green).
d. Connect the premises end of the cut RING
and TIP wires to RJ31X terminals 1 (grey) and
8 (brown) respectively.
e. Wire the flying leads of a Direct Connect Cord
to the control’s phone terminals as shown in
the diagram or plug into the 8-position jack.
f. Plug the Direct Connect Cord into the RJ31X
jack.

Installing Wireless Zones
General Information
Zones: The control supports up to 24 wireless zones using 5800 Series transmitters, and up to 16 wireless
buttons.
Range: The built-in RF receiver can detect signals from wireless transmitters within a nominal range of 200
feet.
Transmitters: 5800 Series transmitters have built-in serial numbers that must be entered into the system
using the ✻56 or ✻83 interactive mode, or input to the control via the downloader. 5800 Series transmitters
(except the 5800RL, which is described separately) do not have DIP switches. Each transmitter's zone
number is programmed into the system in ✻56 mode. Some transmitters, such as the 5816 and 5817, can
support more than one "zone" (referred to as loops or inputs). On the 5816, for example, the wire connection
terminal block is loop 1, the reed contact is loop 2. Each loop must be assigned a different zone number.
U
UU
UL
LL
L
The 5816 and 5817 Transmitters do not have EOL supervision of their loop wiring and the loop wiring must
not exceed 3 feet.
The 5800RL, 5802MN, 5802MN2, 5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, 5804E, 5814, 5816TEMP, 5819, 5819S(WHS &
BRS), 5828/5828V and 5850(GBD) transmitters have not been evaluated by UL.
For button transmitters (RF "keys") such as the 5804 and 5801, you must assign a unique zone number to
each individual button used on the transmitter. Each button on the transmitter also has a pre-designated
loop or input number, which is automatically displayed.
House Identification
If you are using a 5804BD/5804BDV Wireless Keypad with the system, you must program a House ID Code
(01–31) in field ✻24 to establish proper communication, and the keypad must be set to the same ID. House
ID 00 disables all wireless keypads. An RF House ID is not necessary for other 5800 Series transmitters; the
entry should be left at “00”(default) in those cases.
Transmitter Supervision
Except for some transmitters/keypads that may be carried off-premises (5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, and
5804E), each transmitter is supervised by a check-in signal that is sent to the receiver at 70–90 minute
intervals. If at least one check-in is not received from each supervised transmitter within a 12-hour period,
the "missing" transmitter number(s) and "OPEN" will be displayed. The supervision for a particular
transmitter in the system that may also be carried off the premises (5801, 5802MN) may be turned off by
entering it as a "UR" (unsupervised RF) type, as described in the ✻56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode
section.
5800 Series transmitters have built-in tamper protection and will annunciate as a fault condition if covers
are removed.
Transmitter Input Types
Each of the following transmitters has one or more unique factory-assigned input (loop) ID codes. Each of the
inputs requires a programming zone (e.g., a 5804's four inputs require four button zones).
Transmitters can be entered as one of the following types (see transmitter’s instructions for appropriate
input type):
Type Description
"RF" (Supervised RF) Sends periodic check-in signals, as well as fault, restore, and low battery signals.
The transmitter must remain within the receiver's range.
"UR" (Unsupervised RF) Sends all the signals that the "RF" type does, but the control does not supervise the
check-in signals. The transmitter may therefore be carried off-premises.
"BR" (Unsupervised Button RF) These only send fault signals. They do not send low battery signals until they are
activated. The transmitter may be carried off-premises.
Transmitter Battery Life
•Batteries in the wireless transmitters may last from 4–7 years, depending on the environment, usage, and
the specific wireless device being used. Factors such as humidity, high or low temperatures, as well as
large swings in temperature may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. The wireless
system can identify a true low battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user of the system time to
arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that point within the system.

•Button-type transmitters should be periodically tested for battery life. The 5801, 5802MN, 5802MN2,
5804, 5804BD, 5804BDV, and 5804E button transmitters have replaceable batteries.
Using the Transmitter Sniffer Mode
Use this mode after all transmitters have been entered to check that all transmitters have been properly
programmed.
1. Enter Installer code (4112) + [#] + 3.
Note: If the communicator is in the process of sending a report to the central station, the system will not go into the Sniffer
mode. If so, wait a few minutes and try again.
2. The keypad will display all zone numbers, which have a non-zero Zone Type (even if serial numbers were
not learned yet). Fault each transmitter in turn, causing each one to send a signal. As the system
receives a signal from each of the transmitters, the zone number of that transmitter will disappear
from the display. The transmitters may be checked upon installation, or in an installed system.
3. When all transmitters have been checked, exit Sniffer mode. Enter Installer Code (4112) + OFF.
Notes: (1) Sniffer mode does not automatically expire. You must manually exit (Installer Code + OFF) Sniffer
mode to return to normal operation.
(2) All BR-type units must physically be activated to clear the display, since they do not automatically send check-in
signals.
(3) When one button of a transmitter (RF, UR, or BR) is activated, all zones assigned to other buttons on that
transmitter are cleared. This also applies to 5816 and 5817 transmitters that have multiple loops (zones).
(4) Any transmitter that is not “entered” will not turn off its zone number.
Go/No Go Test Mode
5804E encrypted (High-Security) devices must be activated while the system is in Go/No Go Test Mode.
Refer to the transmitter’s installation instructions for complete details. The system will confirm
enrollment of the encrypted device by beeping two times.
The Go/No Go tests will verify adequate RF signal strength from the proposed transmitter location, and
allow 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. This
will enable you to make sure that the RF signal from each transmitter is received with sufficient signal
amplitude when the system is in the normal operating mode.
1. Enter Installer Code (4112) + [#] + 8.
2. Once you have placed transmitters in their desired locations and the approximate length of wire to be
run to sensors is connected to the transmitter's screw terminals (if used), fault each transmitter.
Conducting 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 a button will take the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode and cause the programmed action
to occur.
Note: On button type transmitters that have been programmed to set ARM AWAY, ARM STAY, or DISARM, pressing a button
will take the system out of the Go/No Go Test mode and cause the programmed action to occur.
a. The keypad will beep three times indicating signal reception and will display the appropriate zone
number.
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.
3. If each transmitter produces the proper keypad response when it is faulted, you can then permanently
mount each of the transmitters according to the instructions provided with them.
4. Exit the Go/No Go Test mode by entering: Installer Code (4112) + OFF.

Mechanics of Programming
General Programming Information
Programming options are stored in non-removable, electrically erasable, nonvolatile EEROM memory. The
system can be programmed at any time, even at the installer's premises prior to the actual installation.
Simply apply power temporarily to the Control and then program the unit as desired. There are four
programming modes:
•Data field programming (used for setting various system options).
•Interactive menu mode programming (used for programming zone information, programming
Powerline Carrier Devices, and for entering transmitter serial numbers).
•Voice Prompt programming (used for setting various system options).
•Pass-Thru programming (used for programming connected LRR/IP Communications Device).
The system can also be programmed remotely, using an IBM Personal Computer and Compass
Downloader and modem or via capable GSM or IP communications modules. See the Remote
Programming/Control (Downloading) section.
Note: You may find it convenient to adjust the volume setting before entering the Program Mode. This will allow you to
clearly hear the feedback announcements or system beeps in the Programming Mode, of the system’s built-in
speaker. To adjust the volume, press FUNCTION + VOLUME+ [3] or [6]. Upon exiting the Program Mode, the
system will reset the volume to the default value (mid level).
Entering Program Mode
Use one of the following methods to enter Programming Mode:
1. Press both the [✻] and [#] keys at the same time, within 50 seconds after power is applied to the
Control or from exiting Programming mode, OR
2. After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4112) + 800 to enter Expert Programming mode (This
method disabled if Program mode is exited using ✻98). OR enter Installer Code (4112) + 888 to enter
Voice Prompt Programming mode.
If a different Installer Code has been programmed, use that code to enter the Programming mode.
3. Upon entering programming mode, the control will display “--”for up to two seconds indicating it is
communicating with the LRR/IP devices.
4. Once you have entered the Program mode, data field “20”(the first data field in the system) will be
displayed and both keypad LEDs will flash. If you have entered the Voice Prompt Programming mode.
“Pro”will be displayed.
Programming a Data Field
1. Press [✻] + Field No. (for example, ✻21), followed by the required entry.
2. When you have completely programmed a data field, the keypad will “beep”three times and then
automatically display the next data field in sequence. To go to a different field, press [✻] plus the
desired field number.
3. If the number of digits that will be entered in a data field is less than the maximum number of digits
available (e.g. phone number field), enter the desired data, then press [✻] to advance to the next data
field.
4. If a nonexistent field has been entered, the keypad will display “EE”. Simply re-enter [✻] plus a valid
field number.
To view a data field without making changes: Enter [#] + Field No. Data will be displayed for that field.
To delete an entry in a field: Enter [✻]+ Field No. + [✻]. (Applies only to fields ✻40–✻44, ✻88 and ✻94).

Interactive Menu Mode Programming (✻56, ✻80, ✻81, ✻83, ✻84, ✻85)
Press [✻]+ interactive mode No. (i.e., ✻56). The keypad will display the first of a series of prompts. A detailed
procedure (with displays of prompts) is provided in later sections of this manual.
Interactive Mode Used to Program
✻56 Enhanced Zone Programming Mode Zone characteristics, report codes, and serial numbers
✻80 Device Programming Menu Mode Powerline Carrier Devices
✻81 Zone List Menu Mode Zone Lists for powerline carrier activation
✻83 Enhanced Sequential Mode 5800 Series transmitter serial numbers
✻84 Assign Zone Voice Descriptors Voice descriptors for each zone
✻85 Record Custom Voice Descriptors Up to 5 custom voice descriptors for zones
Loading Factory Defaults
To load the factory defaults, enter the Programming mode, press ✻97, then press number 1, or press “0”if
you are not selecting a default table.
If a default table is loaded, any data that has already been programmed into the system will be changed according to the
default table!
✻96 resets all subscriber account numbers and CSID in preparation for an initial download.
Exiting Program Mode
✻98 inhibits re-entry into the Expert or Voice Prompt Programming modes using the Installer Code.
✻99 allows re-entry into the Expert Program mode using Installer Code (4112) + 800 or into the
Voice Prompt Programming mode using Installer Code (4112) + 888.
Note: After exiting program mode (or upon power-up), the system takes up to a minute to reset. To bypass the reset
delay, press [#] + [0].
Pass-Thru Programming
This mode allows the Installer to use the APX32EN keypad and display to program the communications
device that is connected to the APX32EN. Refer to the communications device’s installation instruction to
determine whether this feature is supported.
Entering Pass-Thru Programming mode
1. After power-up, enter the Installer Code (4112) + 899.
2. Once you have entered Pass-Thru Programming mode “PtP”will be displayed on the keypad.
3. Refer to the Installation Instructions for the LRR/IP Communications Device being installed for
additional programming information.
APX32EN will abort this mode:
•When it receives an abort command from the new communications device.
•If it fails to communicate with a communications device after 20 attempts.
•30 minutes after the last key has been pressed.
