If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the system while it is
being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over. This
ensures that a sensor that is continuously triggering will remain
bypassed.
Doors are covered differently: If the alarm is triggered by an open
door for three full cycles (one-and-one-half minutes), the doors
will be bypassed until the trigger ceases.
NOTE:
Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!
The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60
minutes or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is impor-
tant to remember that this circuitry can cause zones to be bypassed and
appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when disarming, false
alarm protection has engaged. If you wish to clear the memory, turn the
ignition key on.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your system is constantly mon-
itoring all of the switches and sensors connected to it. It detects
any faulty switches and sensors and prevents them from disabling
the entire system. The microprocessor will also record and report
any triggers that occurred during your absence.
