Bypass A Point - Bosch Security System Owner's Manual

BYPASS A POINT?

Description
Bypass points that you do not want included in the system. Points that are not included in the
system do not detect intruders and cannot send any reports. You can bypass points when an area is
disarmed. Bypassing a point reduces the level of security and should be used with discretion.
Points remain bypassed until you unbypass them or some points may return when the area is
disarmed. See Unbypassing a Point (COMMAND 00).
You could use COMMAND 0 to leave a window open over night without initiating an alarm. Also
see Turning the System On With Doors or Windows Open in the Security System User's Guide.
Using Bypass a Point
1. Ensure your command center is at disarmed idle text.
2. Press the [COMMAND] bar. The display shows SYSTEM COMMAND.
3. Press the [0] key.
Note: If you prefer, you may use the Command Menu in place of steps 2 and 3 to initiate this function.
Press the [MENU] key to enter the Command Menu, then press [NEXT] repeatedly until you
reach the BYPASS A POINT ? prompt. Press [ENT].
4. The display shows ENTER PT NUM.
• If you know the point number you wish to bypass, enter the number and press [ENT]. A
description of the point type is displayed, such as POINT ## @@@@@@ (where ## = the
point number and @@@@@@ = point type). Press [ENT] again.
• If you don't know the number of the point you wish to bypass, you can view the list of
devices that can be bypassed by pressing the [NEXT] key without entering any digits
when ENTER PT NUM is displayed.
• Continuously pressing [NEXT] scrolls through these devices. When the point text of the
point you wish to bypass appears, press [ENT].
5. One of the following messages displays:
• PT ## BYPASSED indicates the point was successfully bypassed.
• ALREADY BYPASSED indicates that the point has already been bypassed.
• NOT BYPASSABLE indicates the system is programmed not to allow that point to be
bypassed.
• INVALID POINT indicates that the device is not assigned to the area that you are in.
• NO POINTS indicates that there are no points remaining to be bypassed.
6. You can return to idle text by pressing [ESC].
7. If the bypassed point is a 24-hour point, the message 24 HOUR BYPASS begins scrolling in the
display. If the bypassed point is a fire point, the message FIRE BYPASS scrolls in the display.
