If the bypassed sensor tries to trigger the security system while it
is being bypassed, the 60-minute bypass period will start over.
This ensures that a sensor that is continually triggering will
remain bypassed.
Doors are covered by NPC differently: If the alarm is triggered by
an open door for three full cycles, the doors will be bypassed until
the trigger ceases.
NOTE:
Arming and disarming the system does not reset this function!
The only ways to reset a bypassed zone are for it to not trigger for 60
minutes, or to turn on the ignition. If testing your system, it is
important to remember that the NPC
™
programming can cause zones to
be bypassed and appear to stop working. If five chirps are heard when
disarming, NPC
™
has been engaged. If you wish to clear the NPC
™
memory, turn the ignition key on.
NPC is programmable. See Programming Options section of this
guide.
Diagnostics
The microprocessor at the heart of your security system is con-
stantly monitoring all of the switches and sensors that are con-
nected to it. It detects any faulty switches and sensors and pre-
vents them from disabling the entire system. The microprocessor
will also record and report any triggers that occurred during your
absence.
