Instructions

Welcome to Comtronics Smart Homes

Thank you for choosing Comtronics for your security needs.

We are conﬁdent that your new system will provide you with

the security, peace of mind, and convenience that your family

deserves. At Comtronics, we pride ourselves on providing

ﬂexibility and integrity in the products we offer to our customers.

We are thrilled to offer you the protection that is:

Multi-path and redundant alarm communications

While other companies provide only one connection path,

Comtronics values your security and provides redundant

connections via cellular and Wi-Fi. This provides a virtually

undefeatable security pathway to Comtronics’ Five Diamond

UL Certiﬁed Central Station and the redundancy that experts

recommend.

We are the Alarm Company

Many so called “alarm companies” do not monitor their own

customers. At Comtronics, you can sleep peacefully knowing

that the product you chose is monitored 24/7/365 by the same

company that provided it. No third parties, no call centers to

multi-level call systems, and your personal information is safe

and secure as well.

Simple setup

We made it easy for you! No wiring, no drilling, just a quick

and easy setup and you will have a secured home. Need

help? Comtronics provides support and if needed, an on-site

technician to help with installation.

Flexible, yes we mean it!

The Comtronics Smart Homes Security System was designed

with ﬂexibility in mind and can accommodate the largest home

or the most automation–savvy individual! Your system comes

ready to support video cameras, door locks, garage door

opening and closing, lamps, thermostat and MORE! Start small

or go big - either way, you have the ﬂexibility to choose.

Congratulations on joining the thousands of customers that

have chosen a ﬂexible, secure and reliable system that’s easy to

install and fun to use.

Welcome to the Comtronics family!

Setting Up Total Connect on

iOS

- Two-sided tape works well when all surfaces are clean and dry. Mounting screws are in the bottom of the box if homeowners

want a more permanent attachment.

- Your system has many capabilities that may be off or unusable at installation. Please contact Comtronics if you have any

questions on these great features.

- Your controller has a battery backup but must remain plugged in to charge and power the device. Do not plug in to a GFI

outlet or ‘switch controlled’ outlet.

- If you install a sensor in a different area than what was indicated, please call Comtronics to rename your device location.

- Contacts and sensors have a range that varies but should work within 100 feet of the Lynx 5200 panel. Some

construction types, or obstructions, can reduce that distance.

- Motion sensors are pet resistant but false alarms may still occur. Call Comtronics if you need help with your sensors.

- Comtronics recommends you test your system monthly. Please call 800-DIY-4757 (800-349-4757) to test your system.
