Auto STAY Arming Feature
The Auto STAY Arming feature helps cut down on false alarms in
the event that you arm the system to 3—AWAY, but fail to leave
during the exit delay time. Here’s how it works:
Your dealer can turn this feature on or off for you.

It is possible to arm your system while leaving a
door or window open. This is useful if, for exam-
ple, you like to sleep at night with the window
open.
If the door or window has a sensor installed on it,
the system must be told to ignore, or bypass, that
sensor when it’s open. All other sensors will
remain active.
There are two methods for bypassing a sensor:
•
Directly — After arming the system, bypass door/window sensors
before you open them. You must know the sensor number of the
door or window you wish to bypass. To bypass directly, the user
code must have been given the Direct Bypassing attribute. (See
“Assigning the Direct Bypassing Attribute” on page 10.)
•
Indirectly — As you are arming, bypass sensors on already-open
doors and window. This method should not be used in UL-listed
installations.
Bypassing a Sensor Directly
Use this method if the system is armed and you would like to open
a window without disarming.
Refer to the Appendix A User Sheets to determine what the sensor
number is for the sensor you wish to bypass.
To bypass sensors
directly:
1.
Close all doors and windows.
2.
Arm your system to the desired level.
3.
At any touchpad, press
ƒ
+ Code + sensor number.
(
ƒ
is labeled Bypass)
4.
Touchpads display, “Bypassed Zones 01,” or
“SENSOR 01 BYPASSED,” for example.
If the touchpad displays “INVALID,” or if the touchpad
sounds one long beep, make sure that you entered a valid
sensor number. Heat and smoke sensors cannot be
bypassed.
5.
Bypass other sensors, if necessary, by repeating Step 3.
6.
The bypassed door or window can now be opened.
To arm bypassed sensors:
•
Arm the system again.
Note: You cannot bypass sensors directly using a
keychain touchpad.
Bypassing a Sensor Indirectly
Use this method if you are arming the system and would like to
bypass doors and windows already open.
To bypass sensors
indirectly:
1.
Leave open only those doors and windows that are to
remain open. Close all others.
2.
Arm your system to the desired level. The touchpad emits
protest beeps and displays “PROTEST,” because of the open
sensor(s).
3.
At any touchpad. press BYPASS. Touchpads with displays
show, “Bypassed Zones 01,” or “SENSOR 01 BYPASSED,”
for example.
4.
The system sounds arming level beeps to indicate that the
system is armed and open sensors have been successfully
bypassed.
To arm bypassed sensors:
•
Arm the system again.
To bypass sensors indirectly using a keychain touchpad:
•
Press the Lock button once to arm the system and again to
bypass open sensors:
+
Was the Bypass Successful?
To confirm whether or not a sensor was bypassed:
•
Press the Status button on the touchpad.
(
‚
is labeled Status.)
Touchpads with displays list bypassed sensors or zones.
If you arm the system to Level 3—AWAY,
and do not leave the premises within the exit delay time—
If feature
turned on
The system can tell that no one opened and
closed a delay door within the delay time. It
assumes that someone is still inside and the
panel will arm to 2—STAY to avoid a false alarm.
If feature
turned off
The system arms to Level 3—AWAY regardless of
whether or not a delay door has been opened
and closed.
Your movement inside the premises could acti-
vate a motion detector, causing an alarm.
REMEMBER:
When a sensor is bypassed, you are allowing that door or
window to be unprotected.
