I'v had my Honey LYNXR system working just fine for 9 months now. I decided today to get the 5804 4 button keyfob working. I read all the manuals a few times, wrote out the programming options and buttons and gave it a whirl. All I wanted to do was program the on and off buttons on the keyfob to arm and disarm the alarm.
I was able to get the off/disarm button to work. When I go and program the on/arm button, I get to the step where I put in my serial # - but it won't take it. Just a long beep and I'm staring at the
1A ENROLL MODE
again. After many attempts, I tried just putting in a different 7 digits - and it took it... but not the serial number of the keyfob that I already put in for the other zone.
Each zone (I'm using 26 27) must have a serial number assigned to it, correct? I don't see any options around that. I'm using the same keyfob for both zones, so the same serial number goes in the zone setup - but it appears to accept only 1 unique serial number.
I've spent hours on this and I'm stumped. What am I missing here?
Any and all help/advice here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Keyfobs use 1 serial number and 4 different loop numbers. A 4 button keyfob takes up 4 consecutive zones. You have to start with a zone number past the existing zones already in the system.

start with a zone number past the existing... meaning past the ones already in use in the system? I have only programmed in zones 2-5 in my system. In my documentation it says zones 26-41 are Button zones, is that correct? I tried setting up zone 26:
26 21 10 5 3 S/N
and zone 27
27 22 10 5 2 S/N
zone 27 is OK, but zone 26 will not take the serial number, it just goes back to the 1A ENROLL MODE. If I put a diff 7 digit number, it takes it.
Do they have to be setup sequentially? So 26 has to go in first, then 27?
I'm sure what I am doing wrong is staring me in the face. Thanks again for any help!

Yes, they set up sequentially. All you change on the later zone numbers is the loop number to match the button, and the zone type.
Lets try a different tack since my crystal ball is on the fritz: List out the keystrokes you have been entering; that way we can see if you are missing or adding a step.
I got it to work, although still a bit of a mystery. My docs say the allowable zone numbers for the keyfob are 26-29, 30-33, 34-37, 38-41.
I was trying to use 26 and 27 for enable/disable. 26, every step worked except it would not take the serial number. Just a long beep. 27, every step worked.
I cleared zones 26 and 27, then tried using 30 31. Both worked, took the serial number and everything, the keyfob works.
Maybe 26 isn't really useable for the keyfob? Maybe the docs are missing something with the zone numbering, or again, I was just hitting something wrong with it - over and over.
Thanks for the help in trying to solve this one, much appreciated!

You seem to know alot about Honeywell lynx. I retired a few years ago from alarm business but used only hardwired Nappco panels. A friend asked if I could get an alarm for his daughter who moved into apartment. I went to distributer that I know asked about a cheap wireless alarm, He sold us a Honeywell lynx-plus sia. I got it installed and 3 out of 4 sensors are working ok. 1 wasn't working as suppose to as I programed it it got worse. I just don't quite understand the programing. I think I need to delete it and then reprogram it.
Question 1. is how do I add a hard wire contact to 5816 sensor so both internal and external contacts will function.
Question 2. how do I get out of program mode without removing power, *99 doesn't work to get out of *56 program.
Question 3. how do I program one of key-fob buttons to be an audible panic.
Question 4. can the audible beeping count down be turned off when armed away.
Thank you
I am hoping you actually got an installer manual with your product...
To exit zone programming, you enter 00 when you return to the zone number prompt.
To use both the hardwire input and the built in contact, you have to enroll it once with loop 1 (the hardwire input) and then copy the same serial number with Loop 2 (the built in contact).
For that one you need to read through the *56 instructions, and then we can help you with any steps that don't make sense (while not difficult, it's sufficiently detailed out, that I am _not_ going to retype it).
Much the same goes for the transmitter button. You have to program the zone type for that button (loop number) as type 7 instead of type 6.
I have new 5804 and 5804E keyfobs to add for ease of seniors in/out of my house. I have all the manuals that previous homeowner left me, but cant get 4112 or the old owners code to put system into programming mode, old APX32ensia . Several ?s.
1 Is there a way to get system to tell me what was used?
2 I tried to power down, but to no success.
3 I know I will have more questions.

wat31:
field 37 will allow you to turn off the beeping. *37 0,1
anne:
be sure to disconnect the battery and the power both.
swu30:
zone 26 is def. used for the fob. Did you have a serial number programmed there already? It would have to be deleted (delete the zone) before you can reprogram it. Otherwise, when it says enroll mode you enter 1 and then it says serial number, you enter the serial. If the fob serial number is programmed in a diff. zone location with the same loop then it will not accept it. At least you did get it to work tho.
Good luck!
