The Honeywell Lyric control panel comes equipped with WiFi and Z-Wave built in. There is no need for installation of separate modules for these functions as there were in previous versions. With both of these features you will have communications with the central monitoring station as well as the ability to use the Total Connect service.
However, there are times when the wireless can go down. If the modem ever loses power, or your internet provider has an error or the internet goes out due to a storm, you will lose the wireless functionality in your panel.
The Lyric 3G cellular device will allow for a back up communication method should something happen. This device will allow cellular communications without the need for wireless connectivity. This video will show you how to install the Lyric 3G device into the Lyric control panel.
In previous control panel models you would have to completely power down the control panel and remove the battery back up before installing a module. With the Lyric control panel you can power down only the communications port to allow for an easy install.
Following the video guide, through the Tools menu enter your master code. You will not need the installer code for this installation. Unlike a lot of other installations and sensor enrolling, you can install the Lyric 3G using only the master code.
Once you have entered the master code, choose “Advanced” from the sub menu selections and you will see the option for “Install Cellular Module”. Pressing this button will give you the ability to install the module without cutting power and battery back up to the control panel.
If you have already entered the installer code for another install or enrollment, you do not need to return to the home screen and start again. Like many of the features, Honeywell has included the cellular install option for the installer level as well. The video will explain this in detail.
You will be prompted by a pop up message asking you to confirm you wish to install the cellular module. Press yes and the screen will display step by step instructions on how to install the Lyric 3G.
The video will walk you through all of the required steps one by one. First, you remove the side panel cover to expose the 3g card slot.
As you will see in the video, you must position the 3G card properly with the pins facing the panel and the stickers facing out. Press firmly to seat the card in place. You should also use the tamper screw to lock the card in to position to prevent any accidental removal.
Once you replace the expansion slot cover you can press okay on the screen to let the system know the card has been installed. The screen will tell you that the install was successful. Press okay again and return to the home screen.
