Changing the channel setting
The smoke detector is equipped with
a transmitter that sends signals
wirelessly to the receiver installed in
the Lynx system. The transmitter is
located under the cover and has an
8-pole microswitch that is used for
two purposes:
•
Select alarm symbol (fire,
telephone, door, etc). The smoke
detector is pre-set for fire and this
should
not
be changed.
•
Select channel. There are a total
of 16 different channels (0-9, A-F).
Transmitters and receivers in the
system must be set to the same
channel so that they can commu-
nicate. The smoke detector and all
receivers in the Lynx system are all
pre-set to channel 9, and then act
together without alteration.
Standard settings:
Not used, must remain in ’Off’

Neighbouring users
In some cases, other channel settings may be needed. If two or more users live near one another, the
alarms can interfere. This can be rectified by changing the channel settings so that they are different for
everyone. Any channel can be selected except Channel 0.
Common fire alarm (Channel 0)
Where several people live near one another (eg in sheltered housing), if it is thought desirable to be able
to receive warnings from a common fire alarm, but also to be able to retain individual alarms such as
telephones and doorbells, Channel 0 is set as the smoke detector. NOTE: This is now only available
with Lynx MiniVib and Lynx Tactum as receivers. The channels already selected on Lynx MiniVib or
Lynx Tactum and other transmitters in the system are retained. If you wish to change channels, set the
switches for the smoke detector in accordance with the table above. To change channels on the receiver,
see user manual.
