Hi DIY's.
Sterling from AlarmGrid
here, and today we're
going to show you how
to program a 5834- 4
wireless keyfob to our Lynx
Touch wireless security system.
Keyfob comes in
a L5100-pk, which
is the popular kit that comes
with three door and window
sensors, one wireless motion,
and one wireless keyfob,
along with the panel of course.
The keyfob is a
very handy device.
It goes on your key chain.
It allows you to one
touch arm the system,
disarm, arm to stay mode.
And then there is
a fourth button
which can be pre-programmed
to do anything you'd like.
Most people use it
for a panic button.
Of course all of
these buttons can
be programmed to be anything,
but that is the typical way
to go ahead and set this up.
So we're going to
know now show you
how to program this to your
system so it will work.
What you're going to need
is your installer code.
That's the special four
digit code that gets you
into the programming
menus of the Lynx Touch,
different than your master code
that you use to arm and disarm.
By default, the programmer
code is four, one, one, two.
So, from the home screen,
which any time you
need to get to the home screen
you press this hard touch key
at the bottom right.
Were on our home screen, we
go ahead and click on more.
And then tools.
Here's where we're going to
enter our installer code, four,
one, one, two.
And we are now in programming.
You're going to
click on program.
And, different than
when you're learning
in your doors and your motions,
which is done under the zones
menu, keyfobs are actually
programmed in under keys.
The reason it's a
separate menu is
that each button on the
keyfob is a separate zone.
So this way, actually,
you learn all four buttons
in a quicker way
than individually
assigning each zone.
It also groups them together so
it keeps your zone programming
kind of in a nice
and neat order.
So, we're into our
key programming.
We have no keyfobs
programmed in yet,
so there's nothing showing.
What we're going to click
on is add new at the bottom.
It gives you a
default template here.
So four button, most
keyfobs are four,
there are available dual
button programming as well.
So you could go
for more buttons,
but we're going to just
show you the four for now.
First thing that you want to
do is click into serial number.
And just like all wireless
devices, with Lynx Touch
there is an auto enroll
mode, or you can simply
type in the serial number.
So if you wanted to type it
in, just like every device,
there is an A for alpha,
followed by three numbers,
dash four numbers.
Those numbers, not the alpha,
those seven digit numbers,
that's the serial number.
So you could type
0145042, click done.
You would learn it in that way.
We're going to show
you, also, the auto
enroll mode, even easier.
So you would click in
serial, let's clear it out
as if we didn't just do that.
And the easiest way
is to just simply
activate the button three times.
Now with the 5864-4,
to reduce false alarms
on the panic button, all
of the function keys,
you actually have to press and
hold for three seconds for them
to actually activate.
So we're going to auto enroll
by pressing and holding
for three seconds.
That was one activation.
You hear the panel beep,
nothing is shown yet.
Second time press and hold.
It actually gives us
the serial number,
along with the loop
number of that button.
And then the last on
you press and hold,
kicks it back out
to this screen,
the device has been enrolled.
So, like I said, each
button is a separate zone.
You can see button key one, zone
49, button key two, zone 50.
Button key three, 51.
And then button
key four, zone 52.
By default, it's
going to set it up
to match the icons
on the keyfob.
So, the lock icon
is your arm away.
That means all zones are
protected, motions and doors
and windows.
Unlocked icon is the disarm.
Icon with the man inside
the house, is arm stay.
Which is again, where the
motion detectors are deactive,
but your doors and
windows are active.
And by default, it does not
program the panic button.
So you'll see no response.
If you want the panic,
all you would have to do
is click into no response,
choose your response type.
Most panics you do
either 24 hour silent,
or 24 hour audible.
For us, we're going
to use this, we're
going to have it on our
bedside table at night.
If we ever hear
something that sounds
suspicious in the
middle of the night,
we want our siren to go off.
So, we're going to program
it to be 24 hour audible.
Simply click it, and now
we've mapped our fourth button
to this 24 hour audible.
It auto controls
the correct loops,
so all four of these
zones are programmed
with the same serial number.
But each of these zones
has a special loop
assigned to this button.
This auto enroll
mode is smart enough
to pair the button
to the right action.
The last step before you
save, is that every keyfob
needs to be mapped to a user.
So within the Lynx Touch,
you have your master code.
That is user zero, two.
The installer is
actually zero, one.
You don't want a map a keyfob
to your installer code.
So you want to start
with the master.
And if you have some
users, so maybe you
and your wife have separate
codes, or you and your kids
have separate codes,
what you would
do is, each person
that has a key fob,
you can assign each file
to a separate user number.
For us, we just have our
master, so we click on user.
It actually shows are different
users that we do have,
but because we only have
one key if we're just
going to assign it to master.
You now have your device
paired to the serial number.
And you have your
device paired to a user.
You can click save.
It now shows we do have
a key, enrolled here.
You can add additional keys.
The Lynx Touch can handle
up to 63 wireless zones,
so there's plenty of room to add
additional keypads so everyone
in your family can have one.
Go ahead and back out.
Make sure when you're
exiting program,
to always allow re-entry,
otherwise lock yourself out
of programming.
You have to go through the
sequence to get back in.
Much easier to just allow
re-entry, click yes.
Back out one more time,
to the home screen.
And now to verify our
programming is correct,
we're going to go ahead
and arm to away mode,
by pressing and holding.
System responds, we have
our 60 second exit delay,
just to confirm that
disarm is also working,
we're going to press and
hold the unlock icon.
System disarms.
Show you the arm
stay, press and hold.
So now our motions are deactive,
but our doors and windows
are active.
That's good for night mode.
Once again we're going
to show the disarm.
And finally, I'll
show you the panic.
So again, we set it to audible,
it's going to be very loud.
But you press and hold.
And our 5834-4 has been
successfully programmed
to our Lynx Touch
wireless security system.
