Section 4: System operation
Note:
Ensure the LCD keypad supports the desired languages.
4.7 [*] Commands
[*] commands provide convenient access to alarm system features. The following commands are available:
[*][*] Temperature function
[*][1] Bypass zones
[*][2] View troubles
[*][3] View alarms in memory
[*][4] Door chime on/off
[*][5] User programming
[*][6] User functions
[*][7] Command output 1-4 on/off
[*][8] Installer programming mode
[*][9] No entry arming
[*][0] Quick arm/Exit
While in a [*] command menu, use the [*] key to select an option and the [#] key to exit to the previous screen. On an LCD
keypad, use the scroll keys to view options.
[*][*] Temperature function
In this menu, wireless PG zones that have temperature reporting capabilities are shown. Scrolling through the menu shall
display the zone label for all the temperature capable zones on that partition. This feature can be programmed to require an
access code.
To enable temperature reporting on wireless PG devices it must be enabled via section [804][810] option 5. A function key
can also be programmed for this feature. See "[023] System Option 11" on page 110.
[*][1] Bypass or Stay/Away/Night zones
The [*][1] command functions differently depending on whether the system is armed or disarmed.
Note:
For UL/ULC listed installations, group bypass is not allowed.
The zone attribute for zone bypassing must be enabled (see section [002] Zone Attributes, Option 04).
Holdup zones should not be part of bypass groups.
A zone that is manually bypassed via [*][1] will bypass the alarm, fault, and tamper conditions when DEOL is used.
If a 24-hour zone is bypassed, ensure that the zone is restored or disabled before removing the bypass.
When the alarm system is disarmed
Users can bypass individual zones or a programmed group of zones using the [*][1] keypad command. Zones are commonly
bypassed if users want to have access to an area while the partition is armed, or to bypass a defective zone (bad contact,
damaged wiring) until service can be provided. A bypassed zone does not cause an alarm.
When the partition is disarmed, all zones that were bypassed using [*][1] are no longer bypassed, except for 24-hr zones.
If the Code Required for Bypass option is enabled, an access code is required to enter bypass mode. Only access codes
with the Bypass attribute enabled can bypass zones (see "Access code attributes" on page 65).
Bypassing zones with an LCD keypad:
1. Ensure the system is disarmed.
2. Press [*] to enter the function menu. The keypad displays “Press [*] for < > Zone Bypass.”
3. Press [1] or [*], then key in your access code (if required).
4. Scroll to a zone or key in the three-digit zone number. Only zones enabled for zone bypassing are displayed. Enter the 3-
digit zone number or scroll to the desired zone and press [*] to bypass the zone.
