Bypassing Zones - DSC PC4020 - V3.3 Manual

1.7 Bypassing Zones

You can use zone bypassing when access is needed to part of the protected
area while the system is armed. Zones which are temporarily out of service
due to damaged wiring or contacts may be bypassed to allow system
arming until repairs can be made.
Bypassed zones will not cause an alarm. Zones cannot be bypassed once
the system is armed. Bypassed zones are automatically canceled each time
the system is disarmed and must be reapplied before the next arming.
NOTE: For security reasons, your system administrator may program
the system to prevent you from bypassing certain zones.
Bypassing zones reduces your security protection. If you are bypassing a
zone due to damaged wiring or contacts, please notify your system
administrator or call a service technician immediately so that the problem
can be resolved and your system returned to proper working order.
