First Alert FA848C Installation And Setup Manual page 25

Disarming
TO DISARM: Enter any valid four-digit user code and the ARM LED will extinguish.
If an alarm condition exists or had occurred while the system was armed, the respective
zone LED will blink rapidly. This condition is classified as Alarm Memory and can be
cleared by entering a valid user code again.
Reset
Reset is accomplished through the entry of any valid user code. This can be used to reset the
smoke detectors attached to the system, silence any bells or sounders, or clear the keypad
display.
Bypass by Zone
Bypassing is enabled to temporarily exclude zones or points that are faulty or otherwise not
ready for operation, from activating the security system.
TO BYPASS by ZONE: Press the BYPASS key followed by any valid 4-digit user code,
followed by the zone number (01-48), representing the respective zone to be bypassed.
EXAMPLE: To Bypass Zone 6 (Assume user code of 1234) = BYPASS 1234 06
Quick Bypass By Zone
Quick Bypassing is a programmable option (Question 19 L4) and allows the user to bypass
zones and points without using a user code.
TO BYPASS by ZONE: Press the BYPASS key followed by the zone number (01-48),
representing the respective zone to be bypassed.
EXAMPLE: Bypass Zone 06 = BYPASS 06
BYPASS
In addition, note the following rules for bypass:
• FIRE zones cannot be bypassed
• 24 hour zones can be bypassed, however they cannot be unbypassed if they are
violated.
• Zones can only be bypassed while the system is disarmed, at which time visual
indication will be displayed.
Bypass signals will be transmitted to the Central Station(CS) upon arming if a bypass code
has been programmed.
BYPASSED ZONES ARE NOT PROTECTED WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ARMED.
Bypass Limit 3
The system can be programmed to allow a maximum of 3 zones to be bypassed in a
partition. See Question 21 L1. You can also program the system to display bypasses while
armed. See Question 21 L1.
Auto Unbypass
All burglary zones which are bypassed are automatically unbypassed upon system disarm.
24-hour zones which have been bypassed will be unbypassed only if they are normal.
Manual Unbypass
UNBYPASS removes an existing bypass from a currently bypassed zone. The procedure is
the same as bypass.
KEYPAD TAMPER/LOCKOUT: If programmed (Question 18 L2), upon entry of 21 keystrokes in
succession without entry of a valid command, the system will initiate a keypad tamper/lockout
condition. This will be a silent alarm. In addition, a code can be programmed for transmission to
the Central Station (see Submode 2, Question 77, L1, L2).
