Bypassing Sensors - GE Simon XT User Manual

The panel displays Doors + Windows – No Delay and speaks Doors and
Windows On, No Entry Delay. The Doors+Windows light will blink and the exit
delay will begin.
Note: To avoid causing an alarm, you must disarm the system with a wireless
touchpad before entering your home.
Quick exit
Use the quick exit feature when you want to briefly leave the house while the system
is stilled armed (for instance to get the newspaper). This feature must be enabled by
your installer. When you press the Disarm button, the display shows Exit Time Is
On. This allows a designated exit door to be open for up to 2 minutes without
triggering an alarm.
Note: The designated door may be opened and closed only once. If you close the
designated door behind you when you exit, you will need to disarm the system upon
reentering. Leave the designated door open while using the quick exit feature.
Exit delay extension
If enabled by your installer, the exit delay extension feature will recognize when you
arm the system, leave your house and then quickly reenter (for example, if you forget
your car keys). If this happens, the system will restart your exit delay to give you the
full exit delay again.

Bypassing sensors

Bypassing a sensor allows you to open the sensor while the system is armed. For
example, if your doors and windows are armed and you want to open your kitchen
window, but do not want to disarm the entire system, you can bypass the kitchen
window sensor and then open the kitchen window without causing an alarm.
Bypassed sensors are automatically unbypassed when the arming level is changed to
a level where the sensor is not active.
To bypass a sensor:
1. Press Bypass and enter your master code.
2. Scroll until you reach the sensor to be bypassed.
The display shows, for example, SN 1 Front Door on the first line.
3. Press OK to bypass (deactivate) the sensor.
When a sensor is bypassed, the display shows Bypassed on the second line.
