When a wireless duress button is activated, a 900 Mhz signal is sent to the LynxNet® WLS receiver. The wireless transmitters can be installed in fixed locations with the predetermined alarm location messages, or can determine the location of the wireless button using a repeater network. The receiver supports up to 500 wireless transmitters. The web interface of the LynxNet® WLS displays the signal strength of every transmitter and repeater. Any of the wireless transmitters can be placed in a test mode, for employee training and monthly testing.
The LynxNet® WLS connects to a network connection and power. The wireless duress buttons are pre-programmed to theLynxNet® WLS either for fixed or mobile use applications. For Fixed applications a repeater is only needed approximately every 10,000 square feet, based on building structure. For Mobile locating applications a repeater is needed approximately every 1,500 to 2,000 square feet, based on building structure. The Locating system requires a Lynx Certified Technician onsite to configure the system after the LynxNet® WLS and repeater network are installed.
