How Do I Program a Wireless Sensor on my Honeywell LYNX Touch?

Field Name

Programming Options

Serial Number

Click this field to program the device's serial number. This puts the system into sensor learn mode. Fault and restore the sensor three times to learn its serial number into the system. The LYNX will back out to the zone edit screen menu and display the serial number and loop number learned.

Loop Number

Check the installation manual for the sensor to verify which loop should be used. Enter it here, if the correct loop wasn't learned during the previous step

Zone Description 1 & 2

These fields are used to name your sensor.

Device Type

This will determine which response types are available for the zone. The selected device type will also be added as part of the voice descriptor for the zone.

For example, if “Door” is selected, and Zone Descriptor 1 is programmed as "Front", the system will speak “Front Door”.

Response Type

This will set how the sensor responds when activated.

For example, when selecting “Perimeter”, the sensor will be armed, with no entry or exit delay whether armed in stay or away mode.

Alarm Report

With this enabled, the system will send alarm signals from the sensor to central station

Chime

Chime has the system sound a tone, and if Voice is enabled speak the descriptor, when the sensor faults in the disarmed state. Interior zone types do not offer the chime option.

Supervision

It’s recommended to use supervision with wireless sensors. This has the system go into trouble if it isn’t able to communicate with the sensor after a certain amount of time.
