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 follow 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 Plus.
b. Connect the handset phone lines to 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.
a. Cut the incoming RING and TIP phone lines (typically red and green, respectively) and connect them to RJ31X
terminals 4 (red) and 5 (green).
b. Connect the premises end of the cut RING and TIP wires to RJ31X terminals 1 (grey) and 8 (brown) respectively.

External sounders and powerline carrier devices have not been evaluated by UL
LOCAL SOUNDER DISABLE: The Master Keypad’s built-in piezo sounder can be disabled by setting the
sounder disable switch to OFF. If disabled, however, no sounding will occur upon AC loss, since the
external sounder does not operate when AC power is lost.
HARDWIRED ZONE: If the EOLR is not at the end of the loop, the zone will not be properly supervised, and the
system may not respond to an open circuit on the zone.
3. Hardwired Zone Connections
Zone 1 is an EOLR supervised zone that supports both open circuit and closed circuit devices and has a response
time of 350msec. Maximum zone resistance: 300 ohms, plus EOLR
Note: The hardwire zone cannot be used as a fire or CO zone.
a. Connect sensors/contacts to the hardwired zone terminals 6 (-) and 7 (+). Refer to the Summary of Connections
diagram.
b. Connect closed circuit devices in series in the high (+) side of the loop. The EOL resistor must be connected in
series with the devices, following the last device.
c. Connect open circuit devices in parallel across the loop. The 2000-ohm EOLR must be connected across the loop
at the last device.
4. Make External Sounder Connections -The control panel a 6-14VDC bell (120mA max.; e.g. ADEMCO WAVE2EX).
a. Connect a bell to terminals 8 (-) and 9 (+).
5. Disable Local Sounder Option - If required, the Master Keypad’s built-in piezo sounder can be disabled.
a. Set the Local Sounder Disable Switch to OFF.

Connecting/Configuring Communication Modules
General
This Lynx Plus Series control supports central station reporting via the internet using wireless (GSM) and
hardwire (IP) communications modules. It also supports upload/download programming capability via the
Internet or a Private local area network (Intranet). This allows site maintenance independent of central
station monitoring, and modification to sites globally via the Internet or through a private LAN. Refer to the
instructions provided with the LRR/IP Communications Device being installed for additional information
regarding its installation, programming, and registration. The control is compatible with the following
AlarmNet Communications Modules:
•7847i-L Internet Communications Module
•GSMVLP GSM Communications Module with 2-Way Voice
Connecting Long Range Radio and Internet Communication Devices
Connect and configure the communications device (refer to the Installation Instructions for device that you
are installing for additional information).
LRR/IP Communications Device 24-Hour Standby Power
If you are installing the AlarmNet 7847i-L, and require 24-hour standby, you must install the Super High
Capacity battery P/N WALYNX-RCHB-SHA in the control.
Configuring Long Range Radio and Internet Communication Devices
1. Enable the communications device in programming field ✼55 and configure alarm reporting and module
supervision in programming field ✼77.
2. Program the device as required using the 7720P programmer (refer to the Installation Instruction for the
device that you are installing). Note that the device address must be set to 3.
The device must be registered before downloading or alarm reporting can take place.
LRR Communications Device Diagnostic Mode
This mode provides a method to verify the LRR signal strength.
1. Enter the Installer Code (4112) + 899. The system will initially display “Entering programming mode”.
2. The LRR Communications Module’s Signal Level (Primary Site Received Signal Strength Indication
[PriRSSI]) will be displayed in dBm. The system will also display GPRS connection and registration
indications (refer to the example that follows).
3. If “FAIL” or “POOR” signal levels are displayed during the test, the control should be relocated to find a
location that provides better signal strength.
If a ‘searching for coverage’ message is displayed or the radio is not connected and no signal indication
is displayed, the installer should check radio programming, panel programming, etc., before entering this
mode again.
Signal strength may vary
4. The Lynx Plus will automatically exit this mode after approximately 1-minute or if any key is pressed.
The system will display “Exiting programming mode” when the test is complete.
