How to Bypass Zones

The Bypass function is used when you want to arm your system with one or
more zones left open. Bypassed zones are unprotected and do not cause an
alarm when violated while your system is armed.
• Some systems do not allow you to bypass fire, carbon monoxide or
emergency zones. On certain fire control systems, a specified user may be
allowed to bypass fire, carbon monoxide and system zones if the user was
enabled by your system installer.
• Limits apply as to how many zones can be bypassed at one time. See your
installer for these limits.
