Ademco Lynx Zone Customization?

[[email protected]]

Hello,

On an Ademco Lynx REN system, is there any way to make an Interior
Follower zone arm in "Instant" mode. Normally Interior Follower zones
arm only in "Away" mode.

Thanks in advance.

You know that an Interior Follow is instant except for when a entry/exit is
faulted right?

Is it only the one zone you're trying to arm? How many more are
programmed as "interior follower"?

Frank, no, I'm trying to arm all zones. I only have a single motion
detector, and it is an interior follower zone. All other zones are
either perimeter or entry/exit. The Lynx has three arming modes:
Away, Stay, and Instant (or Stay-Instant). Since Stay and Instant are
both "stay" modes, they don't arm the interior followers. Well, I'd
like to use "Instant" as my night mode and would like the motion
detector armed at night since nobody should be walking around
downstairs where it is located.

Thanks!

Hi, Crash,

Yes, I know that. In away mode that is true. But in Stay or Instant-
Stay modes, the interior follower zones don't arm at all. I want to
have an interior follower zone armed in Instant-Stay mode, which isn't
normal for the panel.

Thanks!

Why don't you just arm away? Unless the panel switches back to stay if it
doesn't detect an exit door, then it will work fine. You can also use MAX
mode, which is code + 4, which also removes the delay from the entry
doors.

Or as a slightly different alternative... program the motion as an entry
door.

That way it'll arm in all three modes.

....or just get a real alarm system

Jim, away with no entry delay is exactly what I want.... But, I think
the panel switches to stay if you don't trip an entry/exit zone, like
you say. Also, when arming with the 5828V, I think "4" is the
"Instant" button....

Yes, I had a Vista 20PS (if that's real) at my last house and was able
to do what I want. Now I'm in a much smaller house with only 12 zones
and no prewiring. The Lynx fits the bill... Anyhow, I thought about
using the motion as entry/exit but that doesn't quite do what I want.
I want a regular Stay mode where the alarm system can be armed while
we're home with entry delay and no motion sensor. It's just that I
want another mode where it's essentially armed Away with no entry
delay as Jim says.... I was able to set all this up with the 20PS.

Jim, this actually works great. The Lynx panel doesn't switch it back
like my 20PS used to.

Thanks!

It's a programmable option (Auto Stay) - it can be turned off in programming
in a 20P
