Bypassing Protection Zones

Using the BYPASS Key

Use t
his key when you want to arm your system with one or more zones intentionally
unprotected. The system must be disarmed first.
Vent Zones: Your system may have certain windows set as "vent" zones, which are
automatically bypassed if left open when arming the system (you do not need to manually
bypass them). However, if a vent zone window is closed after arming, it becomes
protected and will cause an alarm if opened again while the system is armed.
When bypassing zones:
The system must be disarmed before you can bypass zones.
•
Bypassed zones are unprotected and will not cause an alarm if violated.
•
The system will not allow fire zones to be bypassed.
•
• Zones are automatically unbypassed when the system is disarmed.
1.
(Security Code)
Enter the 2-digit zone number for the zone to be
bypassed. Single digit zone numbers must be preceded
by a zero (e.g. 05, 06).
Repeat the command string for each zone to be
bypassed.
2. After each command string, the keypad momentarily
displays a "Bypass" message for the zone number.
Arm the system as usual. When armed, the arming
message is displayed with "ZONE BYPASSED."
To display bypassed zones prior to arming, enter your
security code and press the [6] BYPASS key.
