[*] Commands
[*] commands provide convenient access to alarm system features. The following commands are
available:
[*][1] Bypass zones

[*][5] User programming
[*][6] User functions
[*][7] Command output 1-4 on/off

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.
[*][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.
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
).
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 [#].
