SIXSMOKE: Program to Lyric Controller

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to program a Honeywell SiXSMOKE to a Honeywell Lyric Alarm System. The Honeywell SiXSMOKE is a smoke and heat detector designed exclusively for use with the Lyric. It uses photoelectric technology for smoke detection, and it offers both fixed temperature and rate-of-rise heat detection.

The Honeywell SiXSMOKE is part of the Honeywell SiX Series lineup of wireless sensors. These sensors use 128-bit AES encryption, and they are designed exclusively for use with the Honeywell Lyric Controller. Since these sensors utilize encryption, they can only be paired with one Lyric System at any given time. The device has a green enrollment LED that blinks quickly when it is not paired with a Lyric, and it blinks slowly when it is actively paired with a system.

The Lyric has a special SiX Programming mode that you can use to enroll SiX Sensors like the Honeywell SiXSMOKE. Once the Lyric is in this mode, the user must activate the sensor to send an enrollment signal. If the sensor is being used for the first time, then the user can remove the battery tabs to power on the sensor. Otherwise, the sensor can be enrolled by activating the device tamper cover or by removing and re-inserting the device batteries.

On the sensor programming screen, the user can choose whether to use the SiXSMOKE for both smoke detection and heat detection, or to disable one of the device features. Many users will disable smoke detection for areas where smoke might normally be present, such as a kitchen or a specially designated smoking area inside the building. Likewise, a user might disable heat detection if the sensor is being used in an area where the temperature might realistically exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. When using smoke detection, the user must decide whether or not to use Fire Verification for false alarm prevention. Fire Verification requires that the sensor detects smoke on two separate occassions within a short period of time before an alarm will occur.
