Bypassing Sensors - GE Simon XT Manual

Simon XT System Manual
No Delay
This feature must be programmed by the installer. IF the system was armed with the No Delay feature
activated, there will be no entry delay and the alarm will occur immediately.
Protest During Arming
The system may protest an arming level change if certain abnormal conditions exist. If a sensor that is
active in the requested arming level is open, the system sounds protest beeps and automatically
bypasses the open sensor (depending on system configurations).
Quick Exit
Allows for a quick exit when one wants to briefly leave the premises (i.e., grab the newspaper) without
sounding the alarm. This feature must be programmed by the installer.

Bypassing Sensors

Bypassing a sensor allows you to open a protected door/sensor when the system is armed. For example,
if you would like for your doors and windows to be armed, but would like the option of opening up a
kitchen window without triggering the alarm, you can bypass that window only.
To bypass sensors:
1. Press [BYPASS] and enter the [master code].
2. Scroll up/down to find the desired sensor (e.g., Sn 1 Front Door).
3. Press [ENTER] to bypass the sensor.
4. When the sensor is bypassed, the panel will display "bypassed" on the second line.
To unbypass:
1. Press [BYPASS] and enter the [master code].
2. Scroll up/down and find the desired sensor to be unbypassed.
3. Press [ENTER] to unbypass (inactivate bypass) the sensor.
4. The panel will remove the word "bypassed" from the second line of the display.
Chimes
This feature allows you to be notified when anyone enters or exits your home by signaling a chime when
a protected area/sensor is opened while the system is disarmed. A solid bell icon will appear in the
display when Chime is enabled.
To enable or disable the chime feature:
