Bypassing Zones

Use the zone bypassing feature when you need access to a protected area while the system is
armed, or when a zone is temporarily out of service but you need to arm the system. Zones that 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 be able to sound an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once the system is
armed. Bypassed zones (except for 24-hr zones) are automatically cancelled each time the system is
disarmed and must be bypassed again, if required, 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 because it is not
working, call a service technician immediately so that the problem can be resolved and your
system returned to proper working order. Ensure 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].

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.
