Zone Bypassing
The zone bypassing function is used when access is needed to part of the protected area while the
system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service due to damaged wiring or contacts
may be bypassed to allow system arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is armed.
Bypassed zones are automatically cancelled each time the system is disarmed and must be
reapplied before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your installer may program the system to prevent you from
bypassing certain zones.
Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a zone due to
damaged wiring or contacts, please call a service technician immediately so that the problem
can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
Make sure that no zones are unintentionally bypassed when arming your system.
To bypass zones from an LED keypad:
Start with the system in the Ready state. Enter [
✱
][1][Zone number(s) to be bypassed].
Enter the zone number(s) as a single digit from 1 to 8. As each zone is bypassed, the
corresponding zone light will turn ON. If a zone is bypassed by mistake, press that zone number
again and the zone light will turn OFF, indicating that the zone is not bypassed. Press [#] to return to
the Ready state.
To bypass zones from an LCD keypad:
To bypass a zone, the system must be in the Ready state. The display will read...
Press the [
✱
] key to enter the functions menu. The display will read...
Press the [
✱
] key to enter the zone bypassing mode. The display will read...
Use the arrow (< >) keys to find the zone to be bypassed and press the [
✱
] key to
select it. The display will read...
“B” will appear on the display to show that the zone is bypassed. To unbypass a
zone, enter the zone number; the “B” will disappear from the display to show that
the zone is no longer bypassed.
This display will be shown if a zone was open when you entered the bypassing
command. The open zone will be represented by “O”. If you bypass the open
zone, the “O” will be replaced by a “B”.
To exit the bypassing mode and return to the Ready state, press the [#] key.
Viewing Trouble Conditions
The control panel continuously monitors a number of possible trouble conditions. If one of these
trouble conditions occur, the keypad will beep twice every 10 seconds until you press any key on
the keypad.
NOTE: A TROUBLE condition reduces the security your system is designed to provide. Call
your installing company for service.
