3, Working Scenario:
LS-20 can work standalone with Free HyperSecureLink software, third party’s Mobile App
(MyHome) or connect to a cloud server to enjoy much more service from the provider.
3.1 Programming the LS-20 through USB to connecting to GSM network.
Note: For the LS-20 with only GSM communication module, please use USB and
HyperSecureLink software to set the operation parameters.
Note: When the USB interface is connected to PC, the Base Unit can’t be controlled
through Ethernet but data sends out from Ethernet interface is still available.
Please refer to HyperSecureLink user guide also.
3.1.1 Install the USB driver on PC.
3.1.2 Connect the USB port to PC.
3.1.3 A new COM port (Ex. COM4) shows on the HyperSecureLink software.
3.1.4 Select the new COM port then work with HyperSecureLink software.

8
3.2 Access LS-20 by HyperSecureLink software or Mobile App. from local network.
Note: LS-20 must be set as a server.
Connecting the LS-20 to a router to be accessed by Mobile App. (MyHome) or HyperSecureLink
software locally.
Find the LS-20 address by VCOM and set LS-20 as a server from its web page.
Access the LS-20 by HyperSecureLink software or Mobile App. from local.

9
3.3 Works with HyperSecureLink software or Mobile App. (MyHome) from Internet.
Note: LS-20 must be set as a server.
Note: 1, To be accessed from the Internet, the Router needs a fixed IP address or a domain name. A
dynamic domain name can be got from www.dyndns.org, www.no-ip.com (free) or other
dynamic domain name service provider. Some router manufacturers provide free domain
name service if you use their router such as DLINK. Please refer to the web site:
http://support.dlink.com/Emulators/dcs3415/setup_dns.html for more information.
2, The LS-20 has to be mapped to a TCP port that can be accessed from Internet by virtual
server or port forwarding function in the router.
(Ex: Using the free Domain Name Service from the router manufacturer DLINK and
192.168.2.100 is mapped as Virtual Server Port 1234 in the router.)

10
3.4 Connects to a Cloud Server to Get Full Home Management Service.
Note: LS-20 must be set as a client.
Ex.: Assign LS-20 to the Livingpattern cloud service.
Service example from Livingpattern cloud server.

11
3.5 Connects to a Central Monitor Station to Get Alarm Service.
Before connecting to a CMS service provider, please consult your distributer first.
Note: LS-20 must be set as a client.
CMS monitoring software example from a service provider.

12
4, Installation
4.1 Device Enroll
The first step to start the operation of LS-20 is to enroll all the sensor/controller devices into the
Base Unit one by one.
(Please refer to the User Guide of the devices to be enrolled as well.)
*Press the Clear/Enroll button for 3 seconds, the LS-20 enters into Enroll Device State for 30
seconds. (Buzzer beeps and Green, Yellow, Red LEDs blink simultaneously)
* Trigger the target device to send RF signal in 30 seconds.
Note: Beware of not to activate any other sensors during the 30 seconds Device Enroll time.
*Activate the target device again after a successful enrollment to confirm the device by checking
the “Device Status”from HyperSecureLink software or web server.

13
4.2 Placement of the Base Unit and Sensors
It is important for the Base Unit to have a good reception quality for the RF signals transmitted from all
the sensors and controllers.
Place the Base Unit near the central of your home or business if possible.
Keep the Base Unit away from large appliances and other metal objects.
Locate the Base Unit near a power outlet and the router.
Install all the sensors according to your site planning.
Check the radio signal quality from the CS (“Current Status”in “Device Status”) reading from the
HyperSecureLink software or signal bar from Cloud server or Mobile App. (MyHome) by
pressing the test button on the sensors or trigger the sensor’s action. Relocate the sensors/Base
Unit to get the best signal strength if necessary.
If the dB number is less than 40dB or without bar indication then you should consider to
adjust the location of the sensors/Base Unit or add a RF Repeater to the system to extend
the RF operation range. (Do not attach the transmitter on a metal surface, this will shrink
the RF signal effective range seriously.)

14
5. OPERATION MODE
5.1 AWAY Mode: When you leave your home or business, set the system into Away Mode.
Away Mode Arming Sequence
Disarm Exit Delay AWAY mode active →
System status:
↑(0-255 seconds)
Set AWAY mode
Note: When you set the LS-20 in AWAY Mode, the Base Unit clears any previous alarm and
warning status on the LED and check the state of the Door Magnet sensors. If any of the
sensors is still open (for example, you forgot to close the back door before you leave), the
Base Unit will issue a 5 sec. long beep and insert 20 seconds Exit Delay automatically if
no Exit Delay has been set to remind you to check the house again.
Enter into “AWAY”Mode from different devices or services.

15
5.2 HOME Mode: In this operation mode, those burglar sensors with their Enable State –“24-Hour
Zone”or “Guard in Home Mode”= Yes, will still be on alert and offer the protection you
need while at home.
Note: When you set the LS-20 in Home Mode, the Base Unit will check the status of the Door
Magnet sensors. If any of the sensors is still open (for example, you forgot to close the back
door), the Base Unit will keep a “Protection Loop Open”in the Event Log.
The Base Unit will clear any previous alarm and warning status on the LED when the
Home Mode is entered from the Disarm Mode.
Enter into “HOME”Mode from different devices or services.
The Burglar sensor’s “Guard in Home Mode”is enabled.

16
5.3 DISARM/ MONITOR Mode: The LS-20 will not issue any alarm for Burglar sensors, but
24-Hour sensors, Fire sensors, Panic, Medical Buttons and Environment sensors still work all the time.
Enter into “DISARM”or “MONITOR”Mode from different devices or services.
Monitor Mode: In this mode all the trigger signals from the Burglar Sensors (not including the
sensors assigned in Group number 91-99 Partial Arm Zones) will be recorded in the
Event Log as trigger events only; no alarm will be issued. The purpose of this mode is
for the recording of all activities in the protected area while in Disarm Mode.
5.4 Reaction of LS-20 to BurglarAlarm
BurglarAlarm Response
AWAY Mode Entry Delay Burglar Alarm →
Operation Mode
↑(0-255 seconds) ↑
Burglar sensor triggered Siren goes off, Alarm data out.
Burglar alarms can only be issued when the system is in AWAY or HOME mode or with the sensors
assigned as a 24-Hour Zone device, while Fire, Panic, Medical and Environment alarms can be
triggered anytime, regardless of the system operation mode.
The siren can be stopped by disarming the system.

17
5.5 Reaction of LS-20 to OtherAlarms except BurglarAlarm
Warning Beep/Voice Delay (if any) Alarm →
Any Operation Mode
↑(30 seconds) ↑
Sensor triggered Siren goes off, Alarm data out.
Fire, Panic, Medical and Environment alarms can be triggered anytime, regardless of the system
operation mode.
The “Warning Beep/Voice Delay”is fixed at 30 seconds.
The siren can be stopped by disarming the system.

6. SYSTEM CHECK
6.1 Event Log: The Base Unit can store 512 event records in its memory. These events can be checked
from HyperSecureLink Software or Mobile App (MyHome).
If user applies a Cloud Service then much deeper Event Log can be recorded.
Event Log read from HyperSecureLink software
Event Log read from a mobile App.
Event Log read from a cloud server.

19
6.2 Device Status: The latest state of the sensors including, signal strength and readings can be checked by
device status from the HyperSecureLink Software or Mobile App (MyHome).
If user applies a Cloud Service then each device can be named for easy identification and
Environment readings or activities can be show in graphics.
