Zone Bypassing - DSC SYSTEM MASTER PC4000 Instruction Manual

ZONE BYPASSING

[ ]+[1]
A bypassed zone will not cause an alarm. If a zone is bypassed the panel may be
armed even if the zone is open. Use zone bypassing when access is needed to
part of the protected area. Also, damaged wiring or contacts on a zone may be
temporarily bypassed until repairs can be made so that the panel can be armed.
To bypass zones, enter [ ][1]. An access code may be required if the installer has
enabled that option. A menu will appear.
[0] Bypass Zones - This selection takes you immediately to bypassing zones. Use
the [<][>] to select the zones to be bypassed and press the [ ] key to select the
zone. A " " will appear beside the zone label to indicate the zone will be bypassed
when the partition is armed.
A zone search routine allows the user to find the desired zone to bypass by entering
in the first letter of the zone to search for, and pressing one of the [<][>] keys. The [<]
key will search for the first zone on the partition that begins with the letter selected.
The [>] key will search for the last zone on the partition that begins with the letter
selected.
The letters of the alphabet have been divided up among the 1-9 number keys on the
keypad.

[1] Clear Bypasses - Removes all bypasses from all the zones in your partition and
then takes you to bypassing zones. None of the zones will have a " " beside them.
[2] Recall Bypasses - Selecting this will bypass all the same zones that were
selected the last time zones were bypassed. This is for users that are always
bypassing the same zones.
[3] Previous Menu - takes you back to the "Enter Code to Arm System".
When the PC4000 is programmed, the ability to bypass certain zones may have been
eliminated by the installer. In this case, the " " message for those zones will not come
on in response to the bypass command. Zone bypasses are automatically cancelled
when the panel is disarmed.
NOTE: At no time can any armed zone be bypassed.
While the system is disarmed, bypassing can be used to temporarily silence the
door chime feature on a zone. Simply bypass the zone that the door chime feature
enabled. The keypad will no longer beep when the zone is opened. Be sure to clear
all bypasses before arming, to ensure no zones are unintentionally bypassed.
