Zone Bypassing
A ‘Bypassed’ zone will not cause an alarm. Zones may be bypassed to allow access to
part of the protected area while other zones are armed. For example, you could bypass
the zone protecting your living room. This would allow you to remain in the room,
while the other zones on your system are armed.
With the system disarmed, hold-down ‘2’ key to display bypassed zones. The zone
number displayed represents bypassed zones. Ensure that any zone displayed as
bypassed is intentionally bypassed. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when
the panel is disarmed.
How to Bypass Zones
To bypass a zone press ‘0’ key and the zone number (1 to 8, or 1 to 16 in AV-2016),
the Shunt (Bypass) Yellow light is on in confirmation, enter your arming code, Armed
Red LED goes on.
To remove a bypassed zone, arm then disarm the system, re-enter the bypassed zones.
When you arm your system, the zones you have indicated will now be bypassed.
When arming the system with bypassed zones, it is always recommended to review
the list of bypassed zones before entering your code to arm the system. After
bypassing the desired zones, enter your code to arm the system.
Arming Choices
Home Mode
Arming with Home mode, automatically bypasses the zones programmed as Group
Bypass. This feature allows you to arm the system and remain on the premises.
For new systems, version 2.17 and later: To bypass 1
st
group press “0” and hold-down
“1”, to bypass 2
nd
group press ”0” and hold-down “2”, to bypass both groups press
“0” and hold-down “0”.
At Home mode, another member would still be able to enter the premises through the
entry-exit door without causing an alarm (requires special programming). When the
entry-exit door is opened, to disarm the system, enter your user code.
Away Arming
Close all protected doors and windows, you can move in front of the delayed detector,
enter your code, and check if the Armed LED is on. In case of arming with an open
zone, a
≡
(three lines) sign will be displayed, indicating that the system is disarmed
warning about a open (troubled) zone.
