SENSOR STATUS
The
security
system
constantly
monitors
all
of
the
sensors
attached
to
the
protected
doors
and
windows
in
your
home
or
business.
The
Control
Panel
knows
if
each
door
or
window
with
sensors
is
open
or
closed.
The
open
or
closed
condition
of
the
protected
doors
and
windows
is
called
the
sensor
status
.
For
maximum
security,
all
the
doors
and
windows
on
your
premises
should
be
closed
when
you
leave
the
building.
In
some
cases,
such
as
when
using
the
security
system
when
you
stay
at
home,
you
may
want
to
leave
some
doors
or
windows
open.
The
system
recognizes
bypasses
to
resolve
the
open
doors
or
windows
.
See
"Bypassing/Un
‐
Bypassing
Sensors"
on
page

NOTE:
Before
you
can
arm
the
system,
you
must
close
or
bypass
all
doors
and
windows
with
sensors.
