Hi, DIYers.
Sterling with Alarm Grid here.
And today, we're going to show you
how to program an LKF500, which is a Lyric Key
Fob to our Honeywell lyric system.
So this key fob is very different than the 5800 series
key fobs that you've seen in the past such as the 5834-4, which
is the most popular one.
This is a true encrypted bi-directional key fob
that's designed to work with a Honeywell Lyric System.
You can see the footprints a little bigger,
a little different case design, and little different icons
on the buttons.
Unlike a 5800 series key fob, which
can be programmed to more than one system
so that if you had a house and a business,
you just program the fob to both systems
and you're able to disarm/arm both systems with the same fob.
Unfortunately with this unit and the way
it learns to just one panel and one panel only,
you would have to have a separate fob for each system.
With that said, the Lyric is backwards compatible
and supports 5800 series sensors.
So you could use a 5834, put it in high security mode
so it's encrypted and secure, and then you
could use a fob to arm and disarm more than one system.
If you only have one system and you bought the Lyric,
chances are you've got a fob with your kit.
In which case, go ahead and use the fob
that came with it, because you only
have one system and one fob.
And it's a secure fob to the system.
So the first thing you want to do
is verify the fob is ready to enroll.
And you could do that by pressing and holding
both top buttons, and you see these alternating
flashing LEDs, green LEDs.
If you're fob does that, then your fob has never been
programmed to any other system.
If you try to press and hold those and you get like a solid
flash or both solid flashes, then you know that this device
has already been enrolled to another system and, therefore,
cannot be enrolled to your system.
So the very first thing you want to do
is just confirm you're getting the fast alternating
flashes when you press and hold the top buttons.
If you're not, you got to talk to your seller.
Because they might have sold you a used item, or somehow
that sensor or fob may have got enrolled to a different system
in factory.
And you may have to have Honeywell get
involved to get it released.
That would be done through your provider, your alarm provider,
so they can help you with that.
But if it's a brand new setup, then it
should be showing these alternating flashes
like it is now.
So now that we know how that a the LKF500 works,
we're going to show you how to enroll it into the Honeywell
Lyric System.
From the home screen, you hit Security, Tools,
Installer Code.
By default, the 4, 1, 1, 2 installer code gets you in.
When you hit Save on this screen,
you're getting past the option to associate the account
with alarm net, which is what you would do for monitoring
purposes and that would be done through a provider
typically with their assistance.
So really, if you see this screen,
just say no unless you're working with your provider
for enabling the monitoring on your system.
If you're already monitored, you won't see that screen.
Now that we're here, we can hit Program and Keys.
Keys is the same way like on a LYNX
Touch is what you would use to learn in a fob.
We've shown you in a prior video how
to do the 5834-4 to a Lyric, and we did keys-- same idea.
On the LKF500, we're doing Keys and we're
doing Add New to add a new fob.
This is a four-button fob.
However, similar to the 5834-4, there is a chart and a sequence
that you could actually use-- a double button press--
for alternative functions.
So instead of just button 1, 2, 3, 4,
you could do button 1, 2, 3, 4 followed by the bottom two
buttons together or function number five.
The two right-hand buttons together
are function number six.
The two left-hand buttons together--
function number seven.
And the top two buttons together would be function number eight.
So if you wanted to be able to do a fire panic and a police
panic or an audible panic and a silent panic,
you could get more than four functions out
of the four-button key fob up to eight functions.
You would just select down until you got to key fob eight
button, and then you can see you have the ability
to enable these other buttons.
For our purposes, we're just going
to do the standard key fob.
So the first thing we want to do is
go into the serial number box.
It's looking for an RF-type 5800 series sensor.
In our case, we don't have that.
We have a new Lyric SIX device.
On the back, we see no seven-digit serial number.
In fact, we see a 16-digit MAC address.
These are much smarter devices.
They're basically little computers.
They, themselves, can get firmware updates,
which we think is really cool.
We're excited to see what Honeywell
does that when they release new features being able to flash
down to the sensor level is really important so you
don't have to buy new hardware.
To activate the device, instead of typing
in the MAC address which you could do if you select this
over to SIX, you could then type in the MAC address
with the keys, here.
Otherwise, pressing and holding the top two buttons
will auto enroll it.
So the old fobs-- you have to press and hold one button.
This, it's the top two buttons together.
Press and hold them until they start to flash alternating.
This alternating happens for about eight seconds,
and then the serial number should populate.
And we can press and hold again to get the serial number,
all right?
I'm sorry, I'm so used to saying serial number-- MAC
address is what was populated.
So the first one alternating, second one MAC address
is in there.
And then one final time press and hold.
You saw the quick double flash, and you came to this screen
where its learned in the proper MAC address.
We associate the fob to a user, just like we do with all fobs.
The fob has to know which user code to report
when the arm and the disarm goes through.
Otherwise, it won't work.
So we're mapping it to the master code, which is a default
user code of 1, 2, 3, 4.
And we have it set Arm Away for this badge.
We have disarm for the badge with a check mark,
and we have Arms Stay for the house icon.
We want to go ahead and enable a 24-hour audible panic
for this bottom right button.
Although you could select 24-silent.
You could even do silent burglary.
The panel would have to be armed to work in that case,
but we like the 24-hour audible selection.
That way if you're in the house you hear something go bump
in the night, you can set off the alarm, scare people away.
|f you're approaching the house and someone tries to attack you
on your way in, as long as you're in range of the panel
pressing this panic button will sound the loud alarm.
If we save that selection, we can see
we have zones 131 through 134.
This system supports up to 32 key fob buttons, which
depend on how many buttons you're activating on your fobs
can mean various amounts of fobs.
In our cases, we're just using four.
And when we come back to the home screen--
[BEEPING]
--we acknowledge our com trouble error
because we're not yet monitored.
And we can test the fob.
So the top left button is Arm Way.
[BEEPING]
Armed away, exit now.
It's a press and hold.
Top right button is disarm.
You can see because this is bidirectional,
we got those red LEDs to highlight that it's arming.
[BEEPING]
Rigged to arm.
Check system.
We do the disarm, system disarms,
and we get the green lights to show we're disarmed.
So instead of just pressing a button
and hoping that the key fob worked,
this is bidirectional-- gives you feedback
to let you know it's working.
Armed stay.
[BEEPING]
Armed stay.
Press and hold the Arm Steady button.
Red lights come on.
We know it worked.
[BEEPING]
Press and hold Disarm again.
We saw the green lights.
We know it disarmed.
And then finally, if we want to test the panic,
press and hold the Panic.
[BEEPING]
Loud noise and disarm.
Disarmed.
Not ready to arm.
Check system.
Disarm alarm 134 key fob is alerted.
You have Alarm Cancel at the top.
Disarm again clears that latched trouble alarm,
and we're back to ready to arm.
And we now have a working LKF500.
So we hope you've enjoyed that video
on how to enroll your Lyric key fob to your Honeywell Lyric
System.

provides, please email us -- support@alarmgrid.com And make
