Hey, DIYers.
I'm Jorge with Alarm Grid.
Today, we're going to be going over how
to learn a 5816 wireless door window sensor into a security
system.
Now, this 5816, it can learn any Honeywell security system,
along as it has a wireless receiver built in.
It also learns into all the 2GIG panels.
And if you have a Qolsys panel with a Honeywell daughter board
card in it, then you can also learn it into the IQ panel,
as well.
We don't have one in ours, so today I
won't be demonstrating it on that.
But I will be showing you how to do it
on the Lyric L7000, the GC3, and then later on my Vista
panel, which is over here.
And I'll explain a little more when I get into that.
So first thing we're going to do is the Lyric.
Now, for the Lyric, you want to make sure that you put it
into programming.
So to do that, we start off on the Home screen.
I'm going to go ahead and hit the Security
button on the top left.
I'm going to make my way over to Tools,
enter in my installer code.
I have it defaulted, so my default installer code is 4112.
Yours could be different if you or your monitoring company
has changed it.
I'm going to go over to Program.
Then I'm going to go to Zones.
And as you can see, the first two
are actually hard-wired zones.
I'm going to skip past those.
If you just simply hit Add New, it
will take you to the next zone available.
Up there, you'll see it says Zone 3.
That's my next zone available.
For the 5816, we do need to learn it in manually.
So we have to go to Serial Number.
And now you can do the Auto Learn.
So if you trip this three times, I'm going to go one.
You heard the panel beep.
Again.
Put it together.
Now it starts populating a serial number and a loop
number.
And then I do it one more time to confirm.
And it backs me out to the Home screen.
Now, if you guys want to confirm that the correct device learned
in, you can match the serial number up there
with the serial number on the sticker.
0423800.
And the thing with the 5816s is that it actually
learns in as loop number two.
Loop number two means that it's using the actual read
switch in the 5816.
If I simply open this up real fast for you guys,
let me show you.
You'll see that it has the read switch right here.
I'll put it in this camera here.
Read switch right here.
And then it has the terminal block.
So you can actually use a wired contact in the 5816,
and use loop number one, if that's something you guys ever
wanted to do.
But since we're using the wireless read switch
right here, that's the actual wireless device, that's
what we're going to be using, then we
have to set it to loop two.
So for any LYNX panel, any Lyric, any Honeywell system
that you use, you always want to use loop two for the 5816
if you're using that as a wireless device,
loop one if you're using a wired contact in the terminal blocks.
And just so you guys know, the terminal blocks only
takes normally closed sensors.
So door, window sensors, anything that's normally
closed.
All right, I'm going to go ahead and close this back up.
Just hook it from the bottom, and then slide the top on.
Now, after I'm done here, you can set the zone description
whatever you like.
Device type, it could either be set to door, window.
You have a lot of options.
I'm going to leave it as door.
Response type, if it's a front door,
I'd want to leave it as entry/exit.
If it's a door that nobody enters in from usually,
I'd probably want to set it to a perimeter.
That makes the alarm go off right away.
Supervision.
That's whether or not you want the sensor
to be supervised or not.
So if anyone tampers with it, if it loses battery life,
somebody takes the cover off, anything
like that, you do want it to be supervised.
Alarm report, you want to make sure it's set to yes
if this sensor is reporting to the central station.
And then chime, the Lyric, you can switch
the chimes for the sensor.
After you're done, you want to make sure that you hit Save.
And then if you go back into your front door,
you'll see serial number is in there.
Everything that you put is saved.
I'm going to go ahead and back out now.
And my panel will start beeping because it is not active.
So moving on to the L7000, we're going to go ahead and start off
at the Home screen again.
It's going to be basically in the same process
as we did on the Lyric.
So the L7000, we're at the Home screen.
We're going to hit Security.
We're going to go ahead and hit More.
Make our way over to Tools.
And again, my panel's defaulted, so I'm
going to use the default installer code, 4112.
Make my way over to Program, Zones.
And the L7000, if you look at the first zone,
it has one available hard-wired spot into it.
So again, if you just hit Add New,
it'll take you to the next available zone,
which for me is zone two.
And again, you have to hit the serial number,
as you are programming this manually.
So you go to Serial Number.
Now you can activate the sensor.
Put the magnet next to the read switch.
You connect it, disconnect it.
The panel beeps once.
Connect, disconnect.
Beeps two.
Starts populating the serial number and the loop number.
And then one more time to confirm.
Three.
Again, the loop number is set to two.
I have mine set to Front Door.
Device type is Door, response type, Entry/Exit.
Again, you can switch it to Perimeter.
You can change stuff around.
The alarm report is the same, supervision
is the same, and the chime, again--
whoops, sorry-- same.
Everything we did on the Lyric, right?
So after you're done with that, again, hit Save.
Make sure you save your work.
Or if you just back, nothing will work,
and you'll be frustrated why your sensor is not
making your panel chime.
Yeah?
So for this, to exit programming,
one important thing.
Hit the back arrow key all the way till you
get to this screen.
Next thing I do, it's going to prompt me
if I want to allow the installer to re-enter programming.
This is something different we didn't see on the Lyric.
For the LYNX panels, you always want to make sure you say yes.
What happens is, if you say no, you lock yourself out
of programming, and then you have
to backdoor into it, which is quite time-consuming sometimes
if you run into some issues.
So that was the Lyric, that was the L7000.
Now we're going to make our way over to the GC3.
So to start off with the GC3, first we
want to tap the screen on.
Yep.
It's going to take us to our Home screen.
What we're going to go ahead and want to do
is, on the top right, hit the 2GIG icon.
It's going to bring you to the installer tool box
right away, which is what we want.
I'm going to enter in my default installer code,
since my panel is defaulted.
So that's 1561.
I'm going to make my way over to System Configuration.
I'm going to go to Wireless Zones,
because that's what I want to configure.
And then for this one, it's going
to show me all my zones listed to the left-hand side.
You can go to a zone, you can scroll down, hit.
I'm going to start off with my zone one,
just because there's a fresh panel.
I'm going to go ahead and do Edit Zone.
That's how you go into the Edit screen.
Sensor type.
Right now, it says Unused.
You can open up the dropdown to look through the menus.
And you'll actually see it says Entry/Exit, Perimeter.
So this is the response type on a LYNX panel.
Sensor type, response type.
So I'm going to go ahead and set the response
type as a perimeter.
The equipment code-- sorry--
equipment code, again, you can open up that dropdown.
And you'll see here it gives you a list of 2GIG options.
I'm going to go ahead and just click and scroll down.
I'm going to find my Honeywell door sensor.
HW, says right there.
Now, mine is a 5816, so my code is 0637.
So Honeywell, Door/Window, 5816.
I'm going to select the 5816.
Serial number.
If you want to learn it in by tripping it
the same way we did on the LYNX panels, all you have to do
is hit Learn.
It says it's listening.
So I'm going to grab my contact, my sensor, place them together.
Boom.
Serial number hits in.
You want to make sure it matches.
0423800.
That's what I see there.
Perfect.
Hit Accept.
Equipment age you can always leave as New.
It's fine with that.
Sensor loop.
Remember, loop two.
You're using the read switch, so you
need to use loop number two.
So I'm going to change that.
Transmission delay.
Now, this is something, an option
that was not given to us on the LYNX Lyric panels in the zone
programming.
It is something that's found in the settings for this system.
But for this transmission delay, if you're being monitored,
just simply please disable that.
We don't want there to be any transmission delay if an alarm
goes off for this zone.
We want the signal to be sent right away.
So transmission delay, I'm going to disable that because I
want it to go off right away.
Voice descriptor.
Oh, sorry.
Voice descriptor, you can edit it,
you can add front door, side door, back door,
living room window, whatever you want.
Whatever you decide to use this for.
Sensor reports we want enabled because you
want it to send a signal if you're being monitored.
Supervision, again, enabled.
And then the sensor chime.
If you want the door to chime every single time,
you can choose Voice Only.
And then it has other options.
Ding-dong, which is like a doorbell.
And you can do-- they have different kinds of chimes,
just like the other panels.
Once you're done with here, we're going to go ahead,
and for this one we actually don't need
to save until the very end.
So we're going to do Return to System Configuration.
It actually has it highlighted in orange
that I've changed something in my wireless zones.
If I just hit the back arrow key,
it'll show you what I've added or what I've changed.
It here says, for example, wireless zone one.
It shows the serial number, which matches everything.
You can review.
If you've done more, you can always scroll down.
Again, I'm going to hit Save.
And now my door is learned in to my GC3,
and it shows ready to arm.
Again, I'm pretty sure all three panels
are going to beep right now because it's
learned into every single one.
So that one says sensor one open.
Lyric says not ready to arm, there is a fault and a trouble.
And then the L7000 is also not ready to arm
because this door is faulted.
If I connect it, it should go back Ready to Arm.
That's going to bring us to the end of our 5816 programming
video.
I showed you how to do it on Honeywell panels,
on 2GIG panel.
