Section 5: System operation
To enable temperature reporting on wireless PowerG devices, section [804][810] option 5 must be on. A function key can also be
programmed for this feature. See
[*][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 74
).
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.
“B” appears on the display to indicate the zone is bypassed. If a zone is open, “O” appears on the display. When an open zone is
bypassed, the “O” is replaced by “B.”
5. To clear a bypassed zone, repeat the above procedure. The “B” disappears from the display indicating that the zone is no longer
bypassed.
6. To exit bypass mode and return to the ready state, press [#].
Other bypass features
The following features are also available on the [*][1] zone bypass menu:
Bypass Open Zones
Displays all currently open or bypassed zones. Use the scroll keys to view zones. Open zones are indicated by an (O). To bypass a
zone, press [*]. A bypassed zone is indicated by a (B).
Note:
Zones with tampers or faults must be manually bypassed.
Note:
This feature shall not be used for UL/ULC listed systems.
Bypass Group
Note:
This feature shall not be used for UL/ULC listed systems.
Displays a programmed group of zones (bypass group) commonly bypassed. Press [*] to bypass all zones in the group.
Program Bypass Group
To program a bypass group, bypass all desired zones then select Bypass Options > Program Bypass Group. The selected zones are
saved to the bypass group. When finished, press [#] to exit.
In order to program a bypass group, a master or supervisor code with access to the appropriate partition must be used.
