Can wired contacts be used with my LYNX Touch?


Last Updated: 11/11/2013
The L5100 does support wired contacts.


The L5100's first zone is hardwired and uses only dry contacts.  It has a maximum wire resistance of 2300 ohms (in addition to EOLR) and needs a 2k ohm EOLR resistor.  Creating a wired zone on the L5100 is a possible, yet unusual, choice, considering the L5100 was designed to support multiple wireless sensors, which are far easier to install.

There are a number of other wired devices that the Lynx Touch L5100 doesn't support, like wired sirens.  However, through the use of a relay and a power source, it is possible to wire a siren to the L5100.
