Installing the LyncTouch
LyncTouch is a combination touch-screen and keypad controller that can be installed before or after you
have the rest of your system set up and controllable via the HTD Lync app.
Installing a LyncTouch with a Lync system that is being set up for the rst time:
1. Make sure any ampliers are in sleep mode or powered off. Make sure the central Lync Controller
is powered off using the button on the front.
2. Install each LyncTouch following the directions beginning on page 21.
3. After all LyncTouch have been installed, power on the Lync controller by pressing the button on the
front. It is at this point that the Lync controller searches for connected devices. Devices are only
recognized by the system when the Lync controller is rst powered on. Similarly press the button
on the front of each amplier to turn on.
Installing a LyncTouch when you are already controlling the system via the HTD Lync app:
1. Power off all zones. This is most easily accomplished from a single button on the app.
2. Power off the amplier(s). If your system was installed using the recommended Trigger feature,
step 1. should also put your multi-channel amplier(s) into stand-by mode. If instead, your
amplier(s) is set to always be powered on, then you will need to power off each amplier using the
button on the front. It is not necessary to press the power button on the front of the amplier if it is
already in stand-by mode.
3. Power off your central Lync controller (model Lync 6 or Lync 12) using the power button on the
front.
4. Install each LyncTouch following the directions beginning on page 21.
5. After all LyncTouch have been installed, power on the Lync controller by pressing the button on the
front. It is at this point that the Lync controller searches for connected devices. Devices are only
recognized by the system when the Lync controller is rst powered on. If your amplier(s) was left
powered on and in stand-by mode that is all you need to do. If the power button on the front of your
amplier was previously turned off (out position), then press it back in.
Overview of how to install a LyncTouch:
We have made installing LyncTouch easy with our patent-pending design. The enclosure on the
backside of the LyncTouch has been matched in size to a custom-made metal ring that you install
into a at surface, typically a wall. Once installed, you simply plug the Cat cable (already terminated
with an RJ-45 connector) into either of the RJ-45 ports on the back of the LyncTouch and push the
LyncTouch in until it is ush with the wall. Strong, neodymium magnets mounted to either side of the
LyncTouch enclosure adhere to the metal ring and keep it in place.
