5.7.1 [*][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 "Access Code Attributes" on page 53).
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 [#].
Bypassing zones with a LED/ICON keypad:
1. Ensure the system is disarmed.
2. Press [*][1], then enter your access code (if required).
3. Enter the three-digit number of the zone(s) to be bypassed. The zone light turns on to indicate that the zone is bypassed.
4. To clear a bypassed zone, repeat the above procedure. On LED keypads, the zone light turns off to indicate that the zone
is no longer bypassed.
5. To exit bypass mode and return to the ready state, press [#].
Note: LED Keypads display the bypass status of zones 1-16 only.
