Sterling: Hi DIYers, Sterling with Alarm Grid here.
And today, we're going to do some LYNX Touch L5200 sensor programming videos.
We're going to start with the more basic sensors that you would use or find in a normal standard
wireless security system kit like the 5816 door and window sensor, 5811 door and window
sensor, 5800PIR-RES motion detector, and then the keyfobs.
And then we'll go on and show you all of the other 5800 series wireless devices that also
work with the LYNX Touch 5200.
So we're going to start with our 5816.
This is a Honeywell 5816 wireless door and window contact.
This was historically the most popular sensor sold with this system or with any Honeywell
wireless system.
You'll often find the kits that include three of these sensors, front door, back door, side
door; front door, backdoor, window, idea being most systems would use at least three contacts.
So Honeywell sells it in a kit where you get three of these.
On our website, we actually have defaulted to using the smaller 5811 sensors.
But we do have the kits that include the 5816 as well.
And there's certain aspects of the 5816 that would make it a better option for people.
Even if some of the doors, they wanted the 5811s, there may be opportunity to use this
5816 for some of the doors.
The biggest advantage or difference between the 5816 sensor and the 5811 is that the 5816
has these two internal screw contacts.
And these terminals that you can land a wire to would be used if you wanted to use this
device as just a wireless transmitter.
So you would mount this on the wall, and you would wire out to an external contact.
It could be a recess contact in your front door, or it could be wires going back to an
old hard-wired zone that you had.
But bottom line when you're wiring into here, the sensor, instead of looking for a magnet
and a contact closure to the sensor, you're actually looking for an external device to
be activating.
So this can act as two different things.
It can do even both.
If you had two windows side by side, this unit, along with its magnet, could be used
to protect one window or this side of the window.
Then you could wire and, instead of having to buy a secondary 5816 for the second window
right next door, you could just wire out to a less expensive wired contact.
And then you would set this up with two different zones, one for the device with the magnet
and one for the external contact.
So that's the biggest reason that someone would choose the 5816 as a device to use instead
of if it is included in the kit.
So now that we've gone over the 5816 and how it works, we're going to show you how to program
it to the LYNX Touch L5200 system.
Before we program it, we need to give it power.
It comes with a CR123A lithium battery, 3 volts.
And on the printed circuit board, you have a plus and a minus indication, showing you
how to insert the battery.
Device: Tamper front door.
Sterling: And it simply slides in there.
And now, we have power.
That's our L7000, which also this device is programmed to, which is why it's beeping.
But we have yet to program it to the 5200.
And now that we have power, we're able to go ahead and enroll this device.
So the first thing we want to do from the Home screen, hit the Security icon.
Then we have the option for More at the bottom right.
And now, we have Tools.
From Tools, we do 4112, which is the default installer code.
And now, we have the option for Program and then Zones.
Now, on this panel, you'll notice that we have Zone 1, which is set to New.
That zone is only available to be used with a hard-wired door contact.
So you cannot program the 5816 to Zone 1.
If you'll notice, there's no box at the top for serial number.
And again, because it only works with a wired sensor.
And that's why you have this End of Line Supervision that they're talking about.
So we're going to ignore Zone 1.
And these Front Door, Back Door, Window, and Motion, those are template zones.
So out of the box, the panel will be set up that way.
None of these zones are programmed aside from the words, but we're going to go ahead, just
for ease of use, and show you how to add it as a brand new sensor.
So we click New, Zone 6, and we highlight it.
Every device is a zone.
So as you scroll through here, you can see how many zones this panel supports.
It goes all the way up to 64.
And then we get into our keyfob zones, on 140 and above.
So we have plenty of room to add as many sensors as we need.
So we go Zone 6 and Edit.
And the first thing that we always want to do before we program any of the sensor parameters
is to select the serial number.
You can see on the device that we have an alpha number 0291072.
It's also on a sticker that's on the bar code here.
So there's two stickers for the device that show you the serial number.
To program the serial number, we click into the box.
And now we have our keypad, showing 1 through 9 and 0 to type in the serial number.
Or what's even easier, we can activate the device three times, and by auto-enrolling
it, the three activations verifies the sensor is working, and it automatically programs
the proper serial number and, more importantly, the proper loop number for this sensor.
So to activate, we look on the sensor, and there is the reed switch.
It's at the bottom of the circuit board.
It's this small diode here, mercury reed switch on the inside.
And on the bottom edge of the sensor, we have these two hash marks.
And if you notice, the magnet happens to line up perfectly in between those two hash marks.
So that is your indication of where the magnet goes.
I just had the magnet close.
I pulled it away.
That activated the sensor.
You heard it beep once.
If I were to put it on this side, because it's on the wrong edge, it's not doing anything.
Same idea, put it on this side, it's not doing anything.
So very important that you have your magnet in line with these two marks.
So we've activated it once, here we go for activation number two.
We put the magnet close.
We pull it away.
And we have now our serial number.
It matches up.
We have our loop number two.
When you're using this device as the wireless transmitter with the magnet, you use loop
number two.
If we had wired in a contact, we could've activated that contact, and it would have
learned in with loop number one.
And again, you can program two separate zones for this one device.
It would be the same serial number for both.
And the loop number would tell the system to look for the external contact on loop one
or to look for the wireless sensor in the magnet for loop two.
For our purposes, we're only using loop two.
So we want to do one-third final activation to learn in the sensor.
So we have it close, simulating the door closed.
We pull it apart one more time.
And now, we have our zone parameters set.
So we have our serial number.
We have our loop number.
And the next thing we want to choose is device type.
So here, we have a selection of available options of what kind of sensor are we using.
Are we using a garage door, medical device, temperature device, door, window?
In our case, we're going to choose Door.
By selecting the device type, we now choose the response type.
And based on what device type you've selected, these response types will be limited to the
most common response types used with that particular device type.
So if this was a window, we might not see all of these options.
Of if it was a motion, we would see different options.
So the device type selection first helps you limit your choice here so you're not confused
by all of the different response types that are available.
For our door, we're going to use this on our front door.
And the front door happens to be the door we use when it's armed, so we need the delay.
If we made this a perimeter, which these are the two most common selections, Entry Exit
1 or Perimeter.
Perimeter means that it will be an instant alarm.
As soon as you activate the sensor by opening the door, the system would go into full alarm
mode.
By selecting Entry Exit 1, what we're saying is when this door is activated, don't go into
full alarm mode.
Give us 30 seconds to get to the keypad and turn the system off before the alarm goes
off.
So obviously, any door that you enter when the system is armed would need to be set with
a delay.
If you had it set to Perimeter, you'd have a false alarm every time you come home.
So now that we have Door and Entry Exit 1, the last thing we want to do is designate
which door is this.
We have multiple doors in our home.
So instead of just having them all say "Door" and having to remember Zone 6 is front door,
Zone 7 is back door, so on, we can select and type in . . .
Device: Dutters.
Sterling: It helps if you select the right letter.
Device: Factory.
Sterling: If we hit F, it takes us to the F words.
And if we hit the down arrow, we can cycle through until it says the word front.
Device: Fai-, fam-, fif-, f-, f-, f-, first.
Sterling: You'll notice there's a lot of F words.
So I could continue to cycle through.
A short cut . . .
Device: Freeze.
Sterling: . . . is to hit the next letter in the word.
So now, we're jumping over.
And we've jumped past all the FI words to the FR words.
Device: Freezer, front.
Sterling: And couple of selections down, we have Front, the word we want.
So we do Done.
And now we have our serial number, loop number, zone descriptor, front, door.
Both of these will be spoken.
So the panel will speak the zone descriptor 1.
It will speak zone descriptor 2, which we're leaving blank.
That would be in case you had two front doors.
You could have it front west door or front left door, front right door.
So you could give it a further clarifying word.
It will also speak the word door.
So we're good.
Now, we have Alarm Report.
This option says, "Do you want this sensor activation to send through to a central station
if you're monitored?"
So for our purposes, we are monitored.
And we do want this sensor to go the central station, so we keep it Yes.
Chime is Standard.
That means that the panel will make an audible chime when the door is opened in the disarm
state, which is a fault.
And that's what we want.
We want to know if our door is open.
Even if it's off, it will give us an indication in the house that the door was open.
And finally, Supervision should always be set to Supervised for a wireless device.
That means this system will check to make sure it sees that device.
It does that every 12 hours.
And if it didn't see the device, it would throw up a trouble on Zone 6.
And you would know you'd have an issue to address.
So we want to save this selection to lock it in.
If we hit the back arrow, and we didn't save it, we would've lost all that work.
And now that it's in there, we want to close the cover.
And we're ready to test our sensor.
So again, we have it closed up.
We have our two hash marks indicating where the magnet goes.
And we're going to put it together to simulate the door closed.
We're going to exit programming to the Home screen.
And now we're going to test what happens when we fault or open the door.
Before we test, I just want to make sure I have on the Settings icon from the Home screen,
I have Voice and I have Chime enabled.
Out of the box, only Voice is enabled.
So we already reset it so that Chime is on.
And therefore, when we open the door, you can hear the chime, the beep-beep-beep, as
well as this panel will speak the zone that's open.
So here we go.
Device: Front door.
Sterling: And you can see we have our fault indication.
You get a nice little visual indicator of a door open.
And better than that, it tells you the specific door that is open.
So you know, okay, before I arm it, close my door, ready to arm, and I can arm my system.
So that's how you program the most popular 5816 wireless door and window sensor to a
LYNX Touch L5200 system.
