SENSOR BYPASSING

Before the system can be armed, all
protected doors and windows must be
closed or bypassed. You can bypass open
sensors on protected doors or windows
before arming the system. When a sensor is
bypassed, the system ignores that the door
or window is open. There are two types of
sensor bypasses available:
• Forced
• Manual
In some cases (such as when using the
security system for protection when staying
at home) it may be desirable to leave some
sensor‐protected doors or windows open.
Temporarily bypassing a sensor for this use is
called Force Bypassing.
NOTE: Force bypasses are automatically
removed when the system is disarmed.
Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used
when a sensor is requiring service. A sensor's
magnet might be missing, or an external
switch contact connected to a sensor might
be faulty, causing the sensor to be detected
as open by the Control Panel. In these
conditions, you may need to schedule a
service call with your qualified alarm service
technician to repair or replace the troubled
sensor. If the security system needs to be
armed before the sensor can be serviced,
the sensor can be manually bypassed so the
rest of the system can be armed. Depending
on programming, manual bypasses can
remain in place until they are manually
removed.

NOTE: Bypassed sensors offer no protection
and cannot cause an alarm. Use bypass if
you want to arm your system with one or
more sensors open and intentionally
unprotected.
Force Bypassing Sensors
If any sensors are open when the Arm
button is pressed, the Control Panel displays
the bypass sensor screen. When the system
is disarmed, the force bypassed sensors are
returned to normal.
With one or more perimeter sensors
1
open, press Arm from the Security or
Menu Screen.
Press Bypass All to force bypass the
2
open sensors (including any open
interior sensors).
Enter a User Code (unless the installer
3
has set Quick Bypass) to activate the
bypass and continue to the Arming
Screen.
Manually Bypassing or Un-
bypassing Sensors
In case one or more perimeter or interior
sensors need to be manually bypassed, or
have their manual bypass removed, use the
following steps:
Press Menu, Toolbox, then Bypassed
1
Sensors.
Enter a User Code.
2
To not bypass a sensor, press the
3
individual name of the sensor. The
bypass symbol displays for the manually
bypassed sensors. To show only the
bypassed sensors, press Show Bypassed
Only.
Press Back.
