Bypassing Zones
A “bypassed” zone will not cause an alarm. Zones may be bypassed to allow access to part of the
protected area while other zones are armed. For example, you could bypass the zone protecting your
living room. This would allow you to remain in the room, while the other zones on your system are armed.
With the system disarmed, enter [
∗
][1][Access Code] to display bypassed zones. The Zone Lights
representing bypassed zones will come ON. Ensure that any zone displayed as being bypassed is
intentionally bypassed. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled when the panel is disarmed.
To Bypass Zones:
Enter [
∗
][1][Access Code]; the “System” light will FLASH.
Enter the number of the zone to be bypassed; the corresponding Zone Light will come ON to indicate that
the zone is bypassed. To remove a bypass, enter the zone number to shut its Zone Light OFF. When all
desired zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key to return to “Ready”.
When you arm your system, the zones you have indicated will now be bypassed. When arming the system
with bypassed zones, it is always a good idea to enter the [
∗
][1][Access Code] command to review the list
of bypassed zones before entering an Access Code to arm the system. After ensuring that the desired
zones are bypassed, press the [#] Key, and then enter an Access Code to arm the system.
Keypad Alarms
Three types of alarms may be activated by pressing and holding a single key on the keypad. Your
installer will inform you of how the [F], [A] and [P] Keys will operate on your system.
[F]
Press and hold the [F] Key for 2 seconds to sound an [F] Key alarm; the siren will sound with
a pulsed tone. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has
accepted the alarm.
[A]
Press and hold the [A] Key for 2 seconds to generate an [A] Key alarm. The siren will not
sound when this function is activated. Your installer will inform you of how this alarm will
operate; this alarm may be programmed to activate a device, such as a door lock or a
warning light. The keypad will sound a series of short beeps once the system has accepted
the alarm.
[P]
Press and hold the [P] Key for 2 seconds to generate a [P] Key alarm. The alarm may be
programmed as either silent or audible; your installer will inform you of how this alarm will
operate. If your installer has programmed this alarm to be audible, the keypad will sound a
series of short beeps once the system has accepted the alarm, and the siren will sound a
steady tone.
Utility Output Command
A special keypad command may be used to operate various devices connected to your security system.
To operate the Utility Output, enter [
∗
][7] on the keypad. When the command is entered, the keypad will
sound a single tone for 5 seconds, and the Utility Output will be activated for 5 seconds.
This command may be used to operate devices such as special lighting or door strikes. Your installer
will inform you of how the Utility Output function is set up on your system.
