How to Bypass Zones
The Bypass function is used when you want to arm your system with one or more zones left open. Bypassed zones are
unprotected and do not cause an alarm when violated while your system is armed.
•
Some systems do not allow you to bypass fire, carbon monoxide or emergency zones. On certain fire control
systems, a specified user may be allowed to bypass fire, carbon monoxide and system zones if the user was
enabled by your system installer.
•
Limits apply as to how many zones can be bypassed at one time. These limits are ten zones on residential
systems and five zones on commercial systems.
Press
SECURITY
>
MORE CHOICES
>
SHOW ZONES
.
Highlight the zone(s) to be bypassed, press
BYPASS SELECTED
and enter your 4-digit user code. If zones have
already been bypassed, the top of this screen indicates “
Ready Bypass.
”
Press
BACK
to return to the “Arming” screen, and then arm the system in the desired arming mode.
Notes:
•
If any zones are bypassed or faulted,
Display Faults
is also displayed on the “More Choices” screen.
•
While the keypad is requesting and receiving the zone data from the control panel, the screen displays
"Please
Wait!"
Then the zones, along with their current status, are displayed.
How to Clear Bypassed Zones
A bypassed zone is automatically unbypassed when you disarm the system. If a zone is bypassed, you can manually
remove the bypass as follows:
Press
SHOW ZONES
>
CLEAR BYPASSES
. Enter your 4-digit user code. The system should now be
Ready
to
Arm.
Notes:
•
If the system is armed and you unbypass a zone, it disarms the system. If zones are still faulted (not ready) the
system will indicate the status as
“Not Ready Fault.”
•
Some Commercial control panels require a specific command to unbypass the zones. This must be done via
the Console Emulation Mode.
How to Disarm the System
IMPORTANT:
If you return to your home or business and the main burglary sounder is on,
DO NOT
enter the premises,
but call the police from a nearby safe location. If you return to your home or business after an alarm has occurred and the
main sounder has shut itself off, the keypad beeps rapidly upon entering, indicating that an alarm has occurred during
your absence.
LEAVE IMMEDIATELY and CONTACT THE POLICE
from a nearby safe location.
The system may be disarmed using either of two methods. One method is employed when you enter the premises and
the other is when you have been in the premises with the system armed (i.e., Stay and Night arming modes).
To disarm the system when entering the premises
Tuxedo automatically displays the Entry Delay Active screen when you enter the premises; enter your 4-digit user code.
The partition is disarmed and the "Arming" screen is displayed showing the system as
Ready to Arm
.
Note:
If you have a Commercial system and a time window has been defined for when you may disarm the
system, the system does not disarm if you are outside that time window.
