Welcome to Comtronics Smart Homes
Thank you for choosing Comtronics for your security needs.
We are confident that your new system will provide you with
the security, peace of mind, and convenience that your family
deserves. At Comtronics, we pride ourselves on providing
flexibility and integrity in the products we offer to our customers.
We are thrilled to offer you the protection that is:
Multi-path and redundant alarm communications
While other companies provide only one connection path,
Comtronics values your security and provides redundant
connections via cellular and Wi-Fi. This provides a virtually
undefeatable security pathway to Comtronics’ Five Diamond
UL Certified Central Station and the redundancy that experts
recommend.
We are the Alarm Company
Many so called “alarm companies” do not monitor their own
customers. At Comtronics, you can sleep peacefully knowing
that the product you chose is monitored 24/7/365 by the same
company that provided it. No third parties, no call centers to
multi-level call systems, and your personal information is safe
and secure as well.
Simple setup
We made it easy for you! No wiring, no drilling, just a quick
and easy setup and you will have a secured home. Need
help? Comtronics provides support and if needed, an on-site
technician to help with installation.
Flexible, yes we mean it!
The Comtronics Smart Homes Security System was designed
with flexibility in mind and can accommodate the largest home
or the most automation–savvy individual! Your system comes
ready to support video cameras, door locks, garage door
opening and closing, lamps, thermostat and MORE! Start small
or go big - either way, you have the flexibility to choose.
Congratulations on joining the thousands of customers that
have chosen a flexible, secure and reliable system that’s easy to
install and fun to use.
Welcome to the Comtronics family!

Setting Up Total Connect on
iOS

- Two-sided tape works well when all surfaces are clean and dry. Mounting screws are in the bottom of the box if homeowners
want a more permanent attachment.
- Your system has many capabilities that may be off or unusable at installation. Please contact Comtronics if you have any
questions on these great features.
- Your controller has a battery backup but must remain plugged in to charge and power the device. Do not plug in to a GFI
outlet or ‘switch controlled’ outlet.
- If you install a sensor in a different area than what was indicated, please call Comtronics to rename your device location.
- Contacts and sensors have a range that varies but should work within 100 feet of the Lynx 5200 panel. Some
construction types, or obstructions, can reduce that distance.
- Motion sensors are pet resistant but false alarms may still occur. Call Comtronics if you need help with your sensors.
- Comtronics recommends you test your system monthly. Please call 800-DIY-4757 (800-349-4757) to test your system.
